The Pattern

 The Pattern – By Ed Wood - https://terryjamesprophecyline.com/2022/09/06/the-pattern-by-ed-wood/ “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things that you think you could not do before.” Rahm Emmanuel I’ve read “The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich” twice over the years by William L. Shirer and here’s what I see as the recipe for tyranny from that excellent book. I presentbelow the most notable past example and what I believe are current ones. 1) Use people’s fear in a tumultuous situation against them andgive them an “answer man” or entity to resolve it. For Hitler, it was the chaos of a post-World War 1 defeated Germany with its accompanying inflation, unemployment, and hopelessness. For America, it is a similar, though less pronounced, version of inflationand similar growing pessimism regarding the future. 2) Give them an object (be it an ethnic group, other country,disease, etc.) to blame for these conditions. Hitler blamed the high cost of reparations demanded by that war’s victors but, most notably, the Jews whom he said were behind this and all of Germany’s woes. For the freeworld today, it’s Covid, and monkey pox, plus anyone who does not subscribe to the current far-left agenda of some national governments, America included. 3) Manipulate the religious systems so people turn toward meninstead of toward God. For Germany it was Nazism and “Mien Kampf.” For many countries considered to be Christian, it is the turning away of much of organized religion toward the doctrines of political correctness, sexual perversion, paganism, and away fromthose doctrines of God which are clearly defined in the Bible. 4) Control disposition of information and allow no dissent. Hitlerwas a master of the media and public events where his speeches had such a mesmerizing, one might even claim “supernatural,” effect on the masses that they willingly gave away both their consciences and their freedom. No dissent was allowed. Today we see socialmedia and internet access increasingly restricting any communication considered to be “misinformation” such as the truth about Covid, suppression of information of adverse vaccine reactions, or opposition to current “woke” ideology . . . and I fear that thisis only the beginning. 5) Increase of governmental control on every aspect of life, startingwith economics and progressively add to that list. In a few short years, the Nazi government was in total control of everything in Germany. Two years of Covid mandates were the greatest ally of governmental overreach I have ever seen in the free world. Itis, in my opinion, a great psychological experiment that succeeded in stealing away freedom on a massive scale that has never been accomplished before. 6) Keep the people so distracted that they can’t see how theyare being duped. In both Germany of the first half of the 20th Century and what were the democracies of the 21st, just getting through each day for the average person has consumed their attentions to such a degree that they don’t have the time to sit backand see just how they are being led into tyranny. 7) Get to the kids via control of the educational systems anduse the legal system to supersede the authority of their parents. Hitler used the schools to indoctrinate German children into the Nazi “gospel” and created the Hitler Youth, the goal of which was to instill in them a loyalty to the part which surpassed thatof loyalty to their parents. In America, critical race theory and other leftist ideology is attempting to do the same thing. Parents who are fighting these things are now considered potential terrorists. Conclusion As I look through history, I see a common pattern and exactly the same evil being repeated over an over again. Only the faces and specifics have changed andI have no doubtthat it all is just a mild prelude and softening up process for what’s up ahead for those left behind after the Rapture. Ask yourself: If things have been and are now coming back upon us in such an extreme degree now, while God’s Holy Spirit is still acting as a restraining presence in believers,how bad will it get when this Spirit departs post-Rapture? It’s all up to you to decide if you want to go through that or not. There is a way out and this is it: John {3:16} For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. {3:17} For God sentnot his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. It’s just that simple. Now, what are you waiting for?
