A national report released yesterday by the Victims of
Communism Memorial Foundation (VOC) warns that the same young Americans “on due
course to be state and federal politicians, teachers, law enforcement, and
business people” are “going ga-ga for mass-murder-enabling ideologies such as
socialism and communism.”
“Not only is this generation going to rule the population,
but these folks embrace an ideology they think will change the world,” reads an
article on the Federalist website
about the new study’s findings, which include how “one third of millennials (32
percent) falsely believe more people were killed under George W. Bush than
under Joseph Stalin.”
“History and current affairs provides more than enough
evidence that the pleasant-sounding mantras of socialism and communism lead
directly to death chambers, starvation, and mass graves. These are realities
everyone, millennials included, need for the world’s sake to know.”

From Adam on, the thing God’s been most concerned about in
relation to His human race is freedom. That’s what faith is all about.
A great definition of faith is it’s the ability to have absolute,
complete freedom in your inner person to do exactly what you choose to do. God
knows inherently that without that total personal privacy, you can’t make a
personal choice; a free choice.

At a weekend Bible conference once, Columbus, Ohio preacher David
Reid asked the Bible students in attendance to fully consider what the Bible
testifies will happen at the end of the prophesied Millennium Kingdom.
Satan, who’s been locked in the bottomless pit, will be set free
for “one last stand” in which he immediately goes out into the nations and gets
men to rebel against the Lord Jesus Christ, at that time reigning as king over
the entire earth from the city of Jerusalem.
“Think with me what’s happening here,” Reid said by way of
introduction. “At the Second Coming, right before the Millennium is set up,
there is war in heaven, Satan and his angels are kicked out, the sun’s turned
to darkness, the moon’s turned to blood.
“If you’re on the earth, do you have an inkling that there may be a
problem about to happen?! The Lord Jesus Christ returns on a white horse
with the armies of heaven, and when you read through Matthew, Mark, Luke and
John and what they have to say about this time, He goes through the earth and
every single person who rebels against His authority is conclusively destroyed.
“With the Second Coming all His foes are just utterly destroyed
and then He ‘rules with a rod of iron’ during the Millennium Kingdom.
“Psalm 2 says ‘kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from
the way,’ and what happens is the Gentile nations of the earth come up to
Jerusalem to acknowledge Him, and when they don’t, He causes it not to rain on
their nation.
“When they come up to Jerusalem, they go over and literally see
down into hell. In the process of coming and worshipping the Lord, they
literally see, ‘Wow! The worm dieth not and the fire’s not quenched! Down
there’s all the people in the past who rebelled against the Lord’s authority!’
“So then (when the thousand-year Millennium Period expires), Satan
is let out of the bottomless pit and basically the entire earth says, ‘Hey,
yeah, let’s go kill the Lord Jesus Christ!’
“After Christ’s just wreaked conclusive havoc on everyone who’s
ever opposed Him and man says, ‘Yeah, we can take Him!’ It’s just absolute,
total insanity! So, as I reflect on why people aren’t beating down the door
today (to hear biblical truth and become saved), the issue with men is men are
just crazy! They’re just rebellious and ornery and the sad thing is . . .
“We conduct a prison ministry in (central Ohio) and one of the
things we tell the guys is there’s only way you end up in hell. You don’t end
up there because you tried really hard to be good and, instead of getting a B
minus, you got a C plus and God cut off the curve right there and sent you to
hell.
“You end up in hell because you made a conscious decision to
reject the grace of God! Think about how tragic that is because what He did on
the Cross—when He said, ‘It is finished,’ it was finished for every single
human being that ever lived, and the sad reality of what happens today is the
vast majority of the earth says, ‘I don’t need that; I’ll earn it myself!’ And
that’s just asinine stupidity because it’s not going to work.”
