Hope

It is easy to get depressed with the state of the world.  The impression given is one of confusion and danger, unstable governments, unstable individuals, and threatening forces that appear 'on the up' while common decency, care for others, and quiet stability are not seen.

It was ever thus.

Today people look back to the days of the 1950s as for them it was a period of peace and prosperity.  There is some truth in this, the Attlee government gave us the NHS, the best product of the UK ever, schools, houses and the basis of a strong economy with what was left after two world wars.  However, war still erupted around the world, criminals in government and in the locale were abounding then as now, while jobs were available money was still short.  The 'good old days' were no better than today.  Indeed, those who look back will never exchange their washing machines, hoover, flash TVs or cars and return to 1955 will they?  The problem is life never changes, what was, still is and will be again.  That's life.

Today the UK is spending much time on the Epstein files, the only major leader who is in danger of losing his job is Keir Starmer, and I doubt he would ever have taken a trip to Epstein Island, and if taken there would soon find a way out.  Trump, and all his gang remain, no matter what he does the US does not appear to care.  Was Trump involved with young women, aged under 16?  A 9 year old was mentioned, did he know?  So many questions, yet the millions of pages of files remain hidden or redacted, why?  

Mandelson has gone, again.  So many who knew him appeared shocked at what they heard, though the magazine 'Private Eye,' was writing about him many, many years ago, after the first of his three sackings.  Yet MPs are 'shocked?'

The connection between Trump, Steve Bannon and Boris in removing Theresa May from the PM job must be investigated by the correct authorities.  It will not be of course.  This is a criminal act, involving outside sources, hence 'treasonable.'  Nothing will happen.  The 'Labour Together' Israeli supported MPs will continue to fight to replace Keir, and promise to do nothing re Bannon and Boris or any Russian influence, because they may well be involved there also.  Billionaires leading coups in the UK and the US, supported by that nice Mr Putin, has been going on for years.  Many have known, yes Farage I mean you, where the money comes from and this includes the press.  It is such a shame we have np MSM willing to publish the truth about these things, even the Guardia, once a decent read, has joined the other side, if only there was a daily paper able to speak for the free world?

However, there is hope.

We see the fall of both Mandelson and Morgan McSweeney and can rejoice.  Two of the 'untouchables' have been touched.  Others can also be touched and brought to justice, no matter how corrupt a society happens to be.  Hitler's boys were untouchable once, Stalin died, Putin is running out of people to throw from the 10th floor, and all will be brought before almighty God one day.   

Is.19: 22. Who is it you have ridiculed and blasphemed? Against whom have you raised your voice and lifted your eyes in pride? Against the Holy One of Israel!

23. By your messengers you have ridiculed the Lord. And you have said, “With my many chariots I have ascended the heights of the mountains, the utmost heights of Lebanon. I have cut down its tallest cedars, the choicest of its junipers. I have reached its remotest parts, the finest of its forest

24. I have dug wells in foreign lands and drunk the water there. With the soles of my feet I have dried up all the streams of Egypt.”

25. “ ‘Have you not heard? Long ago I ordained it. In days of old I planned it; now I have brought it to pass, that you have turned fortified cities into piles of stone.

The Trumps, Xi Jinping's, the Putin's and Bannon's of this world think they are in charge.  They are not.  The world is controlled by Jesus of Nazareth, now Lord of all.  Whatever plans they make will be limited by his grace and his grace alone.  Why they are allowed their moment in the sun I cannot say, but we share the same sinful nature and we too could easily follow them if we let ourselves.  Be grateful you have not been swept up in their plans.  Hitler and Stalin are long gone, many other fearful men, and a few women, have risen and fallen, gods for a while and now experiencing their eternity.  We have a better eternity, Jesus provides it, and the short term worries brought but such people need not lead us to despair.  There is hope.
