Communism and the free world We reap as we sow. Today the world is divided into two major camps and a global struggle faces us. Why has this phenomenon occurred? History was sown in the time of Jesus. Jesus was the seed of history. His crucifixion was the sowing. There were two thieves crucified with Jesus, one on the right-hand side, and one on the left-hand side. Since Jesus went into heaven through the cross, at the time of reaping he will return through the cross. The circumstances at the time of the crucifixion of Jesus form the pattern which will be repeated on the global scale when the time of his return comes. And that time is now. Today, we are aware that communism is a strong force in this world. The communists say, There is no God. And the democratic world or free world says, God exists. Why do we call the democratic faction in politics right and the communist faction left? Where did this terminology come from? There is an ultimate reason seen from the historical perspective we have been pursuing. This was already determined at the time of Jesus crucifixion. The thief crucified on Jesus right side foreshadowed the democratic world, and the thief crucified on Jesus left side represented the communist world. The thief on the left side condemned Jesus even on the cross, saying, Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us! (Luke 23:39) He was saying: If you really were the Son of God, you would come down and save yourself and save me. Jesus was silent. He did not answer the man. There was also a defender of Jesus, the thief on the right. He said to the thief on the left, Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? And we indeed justly; for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong. (Luke 23:40-41) What faith was shown by this man on the right-hand side of the cross! He forgot his own death and defended Jesus. What a noble deed. And Jesus responded: Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise. (Luke 23:43) At this moment the seed was sown by the left-hand side thief that the God-denying world would come into being--the Communist world today. And the seed for the existence of a God-fearing world was sown by the thief on the right-hand side. The free world is in the position of the right-hand side thief. And America is the center of those God-fearing free world nations. America has been chosen as the defender of God whereas Communism says to the world, There is no God. It is Americas position to say to the Communists, What are you talking about? God exists. God dwells right here, with us. Is America taking this position? No! Todays America is quickly turning self-centered and away from God. America doesnt seem to care about the rest of the world. But you must give America to the rest of the world as a champion for God. When America helped others, sent out missionaries and more aid to starving people, she enjoyed her golden age. Confrontation with communism could be done from a position of strength at that time. But today America is retreating. It is not just an accident that great tragedy is constantly striking America and the world, such as the assassination of President Kennedy and the sudden death of Secretary General Hammarskjold of the United Nations, both in the same decade. The spirit of America has declined since then. Unless this nation, unless the leadership of this nation, lives up to the mission ordained by God, many troubles will plague you. God is beginning to leave America. This is Gods warning.
