Conspiracy: A Biblical View, by Gary North - EntreWave

REPLACING EVIL WITH GOODGod did not promise Moses that the Hebrews would conquer theCanaanites overnight. On the contrary, He promised to preserve theCanaanites until their day of judgment had come, city by city, year byyear:I will send my fear before thee, and will destroy all thepeople to whom thou shalt come, and I will make allthine enemies turn their backs unto thee. And I will sendhornets before thee, which shall drive out the Hivite, theCanaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee. I will notdrive them from before thee in one year; lest the landbecome desolate, and the beast of the field multiplyagainst thee. By little and little I will drive them out frombefore thee, until thou hast increased, and inherit the land(Exodus 23:27-30).God promised them victory. He promises us victory, too. But thisvictory is a slow, continual process. It is victory through competence.It is victory through steady, long-term replacement. We need theconspirators to "mind the land" while we are preparing ourselves forfull-time, comprehensive biblical service. Never forget, we still haveessentially a free market society. The conspirators have to make aliving, just as we do. They also have to meet a market. They also haveto serve the consumers in order to make a profit. The West's marketsare only partially rigged. Government-created, government-protectedmonopolies are only marginally powerful in most cases. If theconspirators were to go on strike overnight in their capacity aseconomic producers, the whole economy would topple.. We are notyet ready to lead, any more than the Israelites were in Moses' day. It isour job to prepare ourselves for competitive free market service inevery area of life. If we do this, and do it diligently, our victory isassured. Until we do, a victory would only humiliate us.What good has a 30-year program of exposure done so far? Hundredsof anti-conspiracy books were published, 1965-85, yet hardly one ofthem can be bought at any book store today, and very few are still inprint. They were not suppressed by the conspirators; they wereignored by them. They were ignored by practically everyone else, too.My point is simple: such books are curiosities, not solutions. Theyhave led in the past to paralysis. Only a positive program ofself-conscious Christian reconstruction can counter the power andhttp://freebooks.commentary.net/freebooks/docs/html/gnco/html/8.htm (5 of 15) [5/26/2000 1:48:23 PM]
