We could do what we wanted? It would be fun? No limits on what you do? And the list goes on and on, but one thing remains true…it would be utter chaos!
While it is true that it would be absolute chaos, as there would be no moral standard that all would follow. Even those that believe there is no God hold to the tenet “if there is no God, then all things are permissible!” (Father Zosima, Brother Krazminov by Fydor Dostyevsky) In a world without law and order, then there would be no actual standard to follow and therefore each and everyone would do as they pleased. Gangs would be running rampant and destroying those who desired to have some semblance of morality in their lives. Of course, to no avail. Rape, pillaging, pedophilia, theft, murder, etc. would be the rule of the day. Without limits, the most evil beliefs of the possibilities of man would come to bear. There would be constant warfare going on in the life of everyone that lived. There would be no rest for the weary or the wicked. Each would have to stand guard over their lives and those of their fellow clansmen at all times. And would have to place their lives on the line in order to defend their family…at all times!
For if the truth of God has increased through my lie to His glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner? And why not say, “Let us do evil that good may come”?—as we are slanderously reported and as some affirm that we say. Their condemnation is just. ~Romans 3:7-8 NKJV
We would have a difficult time of it, proving our point that God’s will is furthered and better served by lying, and other sins (any for of evil that would be be espoused). Consider the fact that in the Muslim faith of Islam, it is specifically stated that:
Qur’an 3:54—And they (the unbelievers) planned to deceive, and Allah planned to deceive (the unbelievers), and Allah is the best of deceivers.
Qur’an 7:99—Are they then safe from Allah’s deception? No one feels safe from Allah’s deception except those that shall perish.
Qur’an 8:30—And (remember) when the unbelievers plotted deception against you (O Muhammad), to imprison you, or kill you, or expel you. They plotted deception, but Allah also plotted deception; and Allah is the best of deceivers.
If we are to feel safe with our Creator, should not our creator be honorable and trustworthy in His word to us, His promises, His historical recounting of the past and the foretelling of the future? In the above passages from the Qur’an, in my opinion, NO ONE is able to trust Allah’s word or promises. As Allah is the best of deceivers (they’re words not mine) and therefore (One can reasonably infer) can lie and be deceitful to even those that follow him. This of course ties in to the doctrine of al Taqiyya
(Arabic: تقیة taqiyyah, literally “prudence, fear”) is an Islamic term which refers to precautionary dissimulation or denial of religious belief and practice in the face of persecution. Another term for this concept, kitmān (lit. “action of covering, dissimulation”), has a more specific meaning of dissimulation by silence or omission.
This practice is emphasized in Shia Islam whereby adherents are permitted to conceal their religion when under threat of persecution or compulsion. However, it is also permitted in Sunni Islam under certain circumstances. (see reference)
This being said, the Muslim who follows Islam cannot be trusted, even those who are moderates. The reason being that they could be “concealing their religion” due to a real or perceived threat of persecution. This is the perfect religious guise to follow for such a lawless society; in that, you hide your religious belief and (as Mohammad had done in the 620s AD) built up his following of Islam. Made a treaty (10 year promissory) with those in Mecca to prevent their annihilation, upon the building up of a sizable force, four years later attacked Mecca under the guise of being a friend and non-aggressor and conquered the city of Mecca. Dishonorable of anyone to not honor their peace treaty…if not trustworthy under a peace treaty, how can they be trusted at any point in time?? Islam is a religious belief, a militaristic mindset, and a political governing ideology. And at no point in time can it’s leadership be trusted to keep their word, as they will seek to conquer all who do not believe in Allah.
Am I saying that the Islamic faith will be paramount in this lawless and chaotic environment? No, but they are very well organized and will run in the background while they are ruled by others until they make their move. They have a purpose for which they live and an ultimate purpose to attain and goal to achieve, similarly to communism…utter domination. They are very well organized. It is quite probable that they will be a super power of sorts during a time of such chaos. The unfortunate truth is that Christians have a tendency to veer away from violence and war. Does Jesus promote war? No, He does not, but where man is in existence war is inevitable. God desires us to live in peace and to live and walk, and talk, and act as Jesus did while here on this blue marble. But until the love of God, the One True God who Created all things (seen and unseen), we will live as the sinful, conquering, & warring species that we are.
Things will not be pleasant, to say the very least. God has called forth warriors throughout the Old Testament. However, even in the New Testament Jesus spoke of much division, which could be likened to war in a general sense. Although, these are more so concerning those who follow Jesus and the angst against (or from) those who do not.
Father will be divided against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.” ~Luke 12:53 NKJV
For I have come to ‘set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law’ ~Matthew 10:35 NKJV
Of course, Revelation 12 deals quite a bit with warfare in the last days. We will be fighting, in my humble opinion, and we will be either martyrs for Christ or we will be those who protect those who are weaker that ourselves. Of course my opinion can change, with the advent of other understanding and knowledge. We are all warriors for Christ, since our adoption into the family of God! Whether you carry a sword to do battle or a bible which is the two edged sword of the word of God…each has the ability to cut to the chase, so-to-say! (No pun intended, it just worked out that way!) Will we physically war and fight in defense of the faith and our lives, I don’t know <specifically>, but it is in the nature of man to defend and fight for what he believes in. We were told by the Apostle Paul:
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.~2 Corinthians 10:3-6 NKJV
From this, one can infer, that our primary weapons are those of prayer and faith. Do not forget the history throughout the Old Testament where men and women were called to arms to defend the faith and annihilate the perpetrators of evil and sin.
I would urge all my fellow Christians to study the Bible, learn it, understand it, study apologetics, study evangelism, and use every opportunity that God presents you to accomplish His will in your life! God has a plan for each of us and has promised and given us all the tools we need to accomplish that, or those, task(s) that He has planned and purposed you for.
After writing this blog post I came across a podcast of Ravi Zacharias entitled, “A NATION IN DECAY” (a 2 part series [Sept. 10 & 17, 2016]; 8 Parts on YouTube). In this series, at least in the beginning, he spoke of the infiltration of Communism into our society. He spoke of Aleksandr Isayevich Solzhenitsyn (who wrote GULAG ARCHIPELAGO) who gave a speech before a large audience of Harvard graduates. He told them how it would infiltrate these United States (entering into the schools, judicial branch, the laws created, etc.) and he was booed and jeered as though he were talking crazy. And now look, he was proven to be exactly right with the liberal & progressive mind hard at work in our society. The liberal belief that teaches our children, the liberal mind that progresses and becomes a professional and thereby forces itself upon our society through it’s laws and legal decisions. THIS is how Islam is forcing itself into our society. Yes, by force! Using our laws against us with those liberal minds to their advantage. These ideas are so good that they must be forced down the throats of the American people. And one day if we fail to fight back, there will be no churches to go to, nor any bibles to read. There will be no freedom to speak because there will be one thought. However, utter chaos will be the initial step and then moving on to another agenda.
The socialist thought (both progressive and Godless) has been forced upon us since the 1930s, perhaps earlier; the Gay agenda has been forced on us since about the 1950s or 1960s; and now, another agenda to send us into chaos is that of the Islamic & Shariah Law agenda. Each agenda continues on and takes another chunk out of our rights and ability to think freely for ourselves. Beware my brothers and sisters…BEWARE!
While reading the book, They Must Be Stopped: Why We Must Defeat Radical Islam and How We Can Do It by Brigitte Gabriel
it was brought to my attention of many incidents where we (America and the rights we possess kowtowed down to Islamic pressure.) The evil perpetrator of the terroristic attack in the movie the Sum of All Fears was changed to Neo-Nazis from Radical Muslims, A valued analyst was fired, as a contractor, from the State Department because he refused to change to wording of his report concerning Radical Muslims and Islamic Jihadists. (The request or demand came from a Muslim head in the department.
While this is not my normal blathering and not intended to be a bashing, but rather a call to arms that each and every one of you arm yourselves with the knowledge in this situation. Many liberal progressive believers without any knowledge of the contents of the Hadith or the Qur’an will make statements that Islam is a religion of peace…but that is just not the case.
As I spoke with a co-worker last night, I have no problem that anyone practices their religion in peace [of course, I would prefer that all believed as I believe – that is my hope that one day they will, but I do not force them to do so.] However, Islam is a quasi religious, political, and military mandate from one author. The belief is pushed from the time one can comprehend until adulthood. Women have rights – the right to be raped – the right to be honor killed for being raped – the right to be stoned in public – etc. Women are the reason and focal point for all sin in the Islamic world.
READ AND BE INFORMED MY FRIENDS!

pay later, mentality for all. By promoting such a thing throughout our society, money, jobs, positions, etc. become our gods and idols of worship. Children are being taught to desire things NOW. Just recently, I was speaking with someone about an 8 or 9 year old child with a smartphone…call me old fashioned, but kids don’t need them! Children are getting away with murder, comparatively speaking to when I was growing up. Throw a tantrum, your butt was beat red. Not in an abusive way, but a corrective way. Unfortunately, children advocates, teachers and the courts have been taking people to task on this subject. Again, unfortunately, it has gotten to such a point where if you look at your child cross-eyed you could be on the receiving end of litigation.
While we seek the Lord’s will in our lives, we tend to hear what we want to hear and sadly tend toward deceiving ourselves to believing that it is or must be the Lord’s will. Yet, it never plays out in such a way…and lo and behold…we find out we deluded ourselves and tricked ourselves into this false sense of belief. We all seem to be pro’s at this sort of thing. After all, it has been going on since the beginning of time on earth…well, almost…at least since the 6th day. By deceiving ourselves, we will blind ourselves to wisdom that God provides us through the temptation of ease and comfort. We fall into this trap all of the time, which expounds and expands upon our humanity and our human nature of sinfulness. Perhaps, one day we will all learn!
moral lawgiver of such greatness (such as the One True God & Creator) then you must believe there is a final judgement after you die. In so far as saying, your very soul which lives on for eternity will either be seen as being worthy to go to Heaven for eternal blessing or adjudicated as being unworthy and sentenced to eternal damnation in Hell. You see, God does not send you to Hell. YOU, 
choice
