FROM WACO TO THE WORLD TRADE
CENTER – DEATH IN AMERICA!
Ken Graydon
Terrorism in America is about a clash of ideologies that can never be solved by adding more force or higher levels of security for the "Home Land." This is the ultimate clash between life and death.
It would be very easy to say that Islam is the religion of death hence the "suicide bomber" as their weapon of choice but this is a more fundamental clash of ideologies than that. We cannot just blame one religion, however culpable they may be in a series of disgusting events.
The perpetrators of the blasphemy in Waco Tx were (or are) mainly average Americans, government employees, "servants of the people".
These people who are like us, our neighbors, friends or relatives, who chose to deliver death to other average Americans.
The perpetrators of the blasphemy of September 11 were (or are), allegedly, followers of Islam who chose to deliver death not only to average Americans and other nationalities who worked in the Twin Towers but to our capitalist system by striking at its heart in the financial center of New York.
These events are signposts along a road that goes down hill and the slope is getting steeper and we are seeing the pace of decline increase.
The ETERNAL knew that this would be the case. He established in the Tanakh His strategy that delivers life. It is a simple concept called "obedience" to the CREATOR of the Universe. He also revealed that there are other choices, disobedience to Him, that deliver death.
These choices are spelled out very clearly in Deuteronomy, chapters 29 and 30. Read all of them, do not pick out individual verses to support a chosen bias.
Tanakh obedience is the path of life – it is a choice available to you now. Any other choice you make is a path to death. Any of the religions that use death as an enhancement (die for this belief and be rewarded later) or (rely on someone else dying to save you) or (after death you will be reincarnated as someone better) is there to mislead you.
See Deuteronomy 30: 15 See I set before you this day life and prosperity, death and adversity. This is surely the ultimate multiple choice question – which do you choose?
The truth is there to be found in the Tanakh – not in huge assemblies, special buildings or interesting labels. It has to be your study, your choice, your prayer and your obedience which protects you from death.
In these days we do not know who the agent of death might be. Some government employee doing their duty, someone in another country who does not even know your name or a relative who does. We do know who will protect us, who allows and encourages us to choose life and prosperity. The ETERNAL, the CREATOR of the Universe. Read His book, learn His will for your life.
We choose the JPS Tanakh 1999.
