FOR BETTER OR WORSE:
Population and Economics
Population does not cause poverty. Japan has a population density of 798 people per square mile and a national product averaging 4,450 "dollars" per person, while India with 511 people per square mile averages only 140 "dollars" gross national product per person (Gilleland, 168). China averages 232 persons per square mile and is an impoverished nation while West Germany with 636 people per square mile, and Great Britain with 593 people per square mile are both prosperous countries (Price, 159). The reason for their prosperity lies in their being a free and not an enslaved people. This explains why Ethiopia with 65 people per square mile and abounding in natural resources is in economic misery, while Singapore with 10,000 people per square mile and with virtually no natural resources abounds with prosperity (Buchanan, “People are the Ultimate Resource;” Augusta Chronicle). Oh, that God would give us eyes that will see and ears that will hear! It is tyranny, whether political or religious, that results in poverty.
Population and Famine
Global designers have perpetrated the
hoax of a "food shortage." Famine is not natural: it is the judgment God
brings upon people for sin. In Amos 4:6, the prophet declares it was God
who sent Israel "cleanness of teeth" and "want of bread" in all her
places, yet she did not repent of her sins and return to Him.
In verses 7,8 Amos testifies that it was God who sent
Israel drought. "I have with-holden the rain from you," says the Lord
God. They are blind indeed who will not see the hand of God in the “acts
of God."
India languishes because of religious tyranny
occasioned by her idolatry. Because that people continues to espouse the
Hindu doctrine of reincarnation, they take food from 7 persons to feed I
cow. The suffering and hunger of the people is their own fault because
they have chosen to reject the Gospel of Jesus Christ that was brought
them by missionaries. Hindus are even forbidden to kill rats that devour
grain.
It is a fact that the population of the entire world
could be placed in the United States. Everett Sileven, Pastor of the
Faith Baptist Church of Louisville, Nebraska, said to give every
individual one-half acre of land, and there would yet remain 60 million
acres of land to say nothing of all the remaining landmasses in the
world. In fact, Mr. Bill Gothard declares, every individual in the world
could be placed in one-half the city limits of Jacksonville, Florida and
every person regardless of age could be given 2.6 square feet of land.
Population and Government
In an article that appeared in New Solidarity, former Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara was quoted as saying,
The commitment of government to deal with the population issue is of course essential . . . There are of course many ways to make the death rate increase (Congressional Record, 20946).
Social Designers desire to control the large population of planet earth, which is rather difficult with several billion people.
Marriage A Divine, Not A Civil Contract
The Federal government has proclaimed the social heresy that marriage is a civil contract, and not a contract made with God. In recent years, public officials have declared that when couples obtain a state marriage license, they and their children become "wards of the state." It is little wonder that the Government increasingly threatens to take children out of Christian homes and to cause the parents to never see them again. The concept that marriage is a civil contract has fostered a groundswell of divorce cases. The Bible declares, “What God hath joined together, let not man put asunder," but what the state joins together, the state is able to put asunder and is able to do it with facility. The state has no authority to dissolve a Divine contract, but it can a civil contract, and the state is ready to provide a host of reasons to justify divorce: mental cruelty, incomparability, and a host of other whims with a pretext to break the marriage vows. But "What God hath joined together, let not man put asunder." God ordained marriage, not divorce.
The Lord hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth against whom thou hast dealt treacherously; yet is she thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant. And did not He make one? . . .And wherefore one? That He might seek a godly seed. Therefore, take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth. For the Lord, the God of Israel saith that He hateth putting away." (Malachi 2:14-16a)
