The West has seduced the world with our lawless democracy of “self government” claiming the right to govern ourselves and live however we wish. Now all these fractions rising up in the Middle East crying out for “freedom” to govern their own selves are only going to find they are headed from bad to worse. It was this lie that allow sinned to enter the garden in the first place.
Man has no rights. Never has. We have been given responsibilities from a holy God, the priviledge to serve and worship Him in the beauty of holiness. Only those who have been responsive to God to honor His will/commandments will be given a “right,” just one. Yet it is the greatest right He will ever bestow upon mankind.
Re 22:14 Blessed are they that do His commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
Freedom is not nothing left to lose, freedom is being hid in Him with nothing more to gain.
