Martin Luther: Repeat? #2


As this is the 500th anniversary year of the posting of Martin Luther's 95 Theses1 on the door of the Wittenberg Church, it might be enlightening to frequently review during this year what his observations were; and to review whether we are experiencing a déjà vu. Here is another of his observations recorded in the miraculously preserved2 book, now titled, Table Talk.3
CLV
... The world is nothing but a reversed Decalogue, or the ten commandments backwards, a mask and picture of the devil, all condemners of God, all blasphemers, all disobedient; harlotry, pride, theft, murder, etc., are not almost ripe for the slaughter.4
It will not be long before we, the people of these last days, will have our eyes and minds forced open to the realities of a world and a satanic agenda that we have ignored and denied for decades. Secret combinations are rampant worldwide and have infiltrated and corrupted (by money, ignorance, lies, lust, intimidation, blackmail, fear, terror, and so forth) every government, culture, and group. Networks of (both knowing and deceived) servants are doing all in their power to disrupt and destroy God's Plan and creation. And yet, for the most part, we remain asleep to the realities and responsibilities we must shoulder. We remain unbelievers.5

How long do we continue blind to the suffering of men, women, and children worldwide at the hands of many powerful secret combinations and of networks of Satanic Ritual Abuse (SRA) cults and “elite” pedophile rings? These are realities that we ignore or disbelieve at our peril. Witnesses have been trying to speak out for decades; most of them have been suppressed, mocked, slandered, threatened, or murdered in order to keep the “secret” in secret combination.

Could anyone describe any better than Martin Luther, the condition of our latter-day world?
The world is nothing but a reversed Decalogue, or the ten commandments backwards, a mask and picture of the devil, all condemners of God, all blasphemers, all disobedient; harlotry, pride, theft, murder, etc., are not almost ripe for the slaughter.
Though Old Testament Isaiah 59 is equally condemnatory.

Martin Luther: Repeat?


As this is the 500th anniversary year of the posting of Martin Luther's 95 Theses1 on the door of the Wittenberg Church, it might be enlightening to review during this year what his observations were; and to review whether we are experiencing a déjà vu. Here is one of his observations recorded in the miraculously preserved2 book, now titled, “Table Talk.”3
LXXXVIII.
The greater God's gifts and works, the less are they regarded. The highest and most precious treasure we receive of God is, that we can speak, hear, see, etc.; but how few acknowledge these as God's special gifts, much less give God thanks for them. The world highly esteems riches, honor, power, and other things of less value, which soon vanish away, but a blind man, if in his right wits, would willingly exchange all these for sight. The reason why the corporal gifts of God are so much undervalued is, that they are so common, that God bestows them also upon brute beasts, which as well as we, and better, hear and see. Nay, when Christ made the blind to see, drove out devils, raised the dead, etc., he was upbraided by the ungodly hypocrites, who gave themselves out for God's people, and was told that he was a Samaritan, and had a devil. Ah! the world is the devil's, whether it goes or stands still; how, then, can men acknowledge God's gifts and benefits? It is with us as with young children, who regard not so much their daily bread, as an apple, a pear, or other toys. Look at the cattle going into the fields to pasture, and behold in them our preachers, our milk-bearers, butter-bearers, cheese and wool bearers, which daily preach unto us faith in God, and that we should trust in him, as in our loving Father, who cares for us, and will maintain and nourish us.4
