The Global Police State

Coming to a town near you

Something was overlooked by many folks during the recent street protests that took place in Ferguson, Mo. after 18-year old Michael Brown was shot to death during a confrontation with a cop.

No, everyone saw the Marxist buffoons masquerading in their Guy Fawkes masks and Palestinian keffiyehs. 

Everyone witnessed the seething crowds of angry blacks marching behind the race-hustling preachers who showed up in Ferguson to turn the spotlight onto them and away from Brown.

And everyone saw the assorted anarchists, losers and riffraff who descended upon the Midwestern town from other venues to vandalize property, loot stores and terrorize innocent residents who just wanted peace and quiet. 

What many folks failed to notice was what the police looked like. They more resembled an infantry unit than a police force. If you didn't know that the confrontation took place on the streets of a St. Louis suburb, you might have thought the event took place in Afghanistan or Iraq.

Don't get me wrong, I support the police. Most cops are hardworking folks who have extremely difficult jobs. If you're a cop who works in a town like Chicago, Detroit or Newark, then you know what I mean. Some cops understand that when they leave home for work, they may never return. That's how bad it is.

Sadly, the increasing militarization of the police across America has become the logical response to the increasing evil and violence that permeates our modern times. We're living in a post Judeo-Christian culture, and it shows. 

The prophetic words penned by the apostle Paul 2,000 years ago concerning the last days are being fulfilled in our time. Here's what Paul wrote: "But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God--having a form of godliness but denying its power." (2 Timothy 3:1-5) 

As our society grows more wicked, it's becoming more violent. And as it becomes more violent, the police become more militarized in order to deal with the escalating violence. 

And as the violence increases, our freedoms decrease. That's evident in all those cameras looking down at you from buildings, lampposts, in hallways and in elevators. Even the automobile manufacturers are being encouraged to install devices in their vehicles that will enable governments to keep track of how people drive and where they go. 

Where are we headed? We're headed for a world government that will become the ultimate police state. That government will have the authority and technology to keep track of everyone on earth. Thus, the dreaded mark of the beast (Revelation 13:16-17) that the apostle John wrote about in 90 A.D. is close to becoming a reality.

And when the world government takes over, the police will be given unlimited power to enforce law and order by whatever means necessary. Even if that means cracking heads.

And when the police are given that kind of power, you won't be seeing the Marxists, anarchists, vandals or race-hustling preachers marching around in the streets. But you will notice the police.
