Unmasking Socialism
Part Two
“The rich and the poor meet together: the LORD is the maker of them all.”
By Mike Wingfield
This article is the second of a three-part series on the evils of socialism. Please read article one before you attempt to read this newsletter. In these articles, I will refer to socialism as practically being the same as Marxism or Communism. In principle there is very little difference in these political philosophies. Each of these political agendas originated with Karl Marx, an atheist Jewish German philosopher in the 19th century. The purpose of these articles is four fold: (1) to scrutinize and evaluate the principles of socialism under the lens of Scripture, (2) to help Americans understand the threat of socialism to our faith and freedoms, (3) to review the historical and prophetic impacts of socialism, and (4) to expose the mission and tactics of those who are seeking to destroy the constitutional government of the United States of America and transform our country into a socialist state that will become a puppet of the New World Order. Please share this newsletter with all of your family, churches, and friends. We need to get this truth to America before the election this November. Please join me in prayer that the Lord will use these articles to open the eyes of many Americans who have been deceived into believing that socialism is a good choice for our nation.
Americans need to realize that socialism is an evil plot in man’s attempt to oppressively enslave people, forcefully controlling every facet of their lives. It is man’s ultimate attempt at self-rule without any recognition of God’s authority. It is a socio-economic philosophy that views the world entirely through the physical, material realm. Socialism rejects the very existence of God and His sovereign rule over creation. As we approach the elections this November, it is most critical that Americans realize that socialism is being openly touted by Democrat political candidates who are seeking to control our American government and radically alter our way of life.
Their dreams are in direct opposition to the Bible, which clearly says that our God is, has been, and always will be sovereign over all of His creation. He has been in control since He spoke time, space, and matter into existence in the beginning (Genesis 1:1). He will remain in sovereign control of everything in the physical and spiritual world until the old heavens and earth pass away (Revelation 21:1), and the devil and his demons are cast into the Lake of Fire (Revelation 20:10). Even after all of that, the God of the Bible will eternally rule over the new heaven and the new earth from His throne in the New Jerusalem (Revelation 21:2). He will rule FOREVER!
One of the foundational teachings of the book of Daniel is the sovereignty of God over all world governments. This great prophetic book demonstrates in an amazing way that God is orchestrating all of the events among the affairs of men so that in the end “the God of heaven [will] set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people … and it shall stand for ever” (Daniel 2:44).
