Refusal to Obey Wicked Decrees is Commended by God Hence, when pharaoh of Egypt ordered the midwives to kill newborn Hebrew boys, “the midwives feared God and did not do as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the male children alive.” Exodus 1:17. This act of disobedience to the wicked command of Pharaoh is commended in the Hall of Faith. “By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden three months by his parents, because they saw he was a beautiful child; and they were not afraid of the king’s command.” Hebrews 11:23 When Authorities Attempt to Limit the Fulfilment of the Great Commission We read that the Sanhedrin commanded the Apostles: “…not to speak at all nor teach in the Name of Jesus.” Acts 4:18. “But Peter and John answered and said to them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you more than to God, you judge. For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.” Acts 4:19-20 Prayer for Boldness, to Disobey the Sanhedrin, Blessed by God Despite further threats, the disciples of Jesus prayed for the boldness to disobey the Sanhedrin. “Now, Lord, look on their threats and grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your Word… And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and they spoke the Word of God with boldness.” Acts 4:29, 31 We Must Obey God Rather Than Man When the Apostle Peter was arrested and brought again before the Sanhedrin, the High Priest demanded: “Did we not strictly command you not to teach in this name? And look, you have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine and intend to bring this Man’s blood on us! But Peter and the other apostles answered and said: ‘We ought to obey God rather than men.’” Acts 5:28-29 Only God is All-Knowing, All-Wise and Infallible Government is not God. They are not our Lord and Saviour! They are not all-knowing. Nor are governments all-wise. Governments are not infallible. Only God, our Creator and Eternal Judge is all-knowing, all-wise, everywhere present and infallible. God’s Law is real Law. All man-made laws must be grounded in God’s Law and must flow from the principles of the Law of God. Any Law not consistent with God’s Law is no law at all. It is invalid. “To the Law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this Word, it is because there is no light in them.” Isaiah 8:20.
Truth Does Not Fear Investigation “And you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free… Therefore, if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.” John 8:32, 36 Lockdown Lunacy Economic Suicide The Covid-19 lockdowns of 2020 have been unjustified by scientific research. Covid-19 has not proven to be anything near as deadly as the Bubonic plague, nor as devastating as the Spanish Flu. There is no proven medical justification for locking down over 3 billion people and committing what amounted to economic suicide. Although the term “suicide” suggests a voluntary act, economic murder would be more accurate. The jobs of tens of millions of people worldwide have been undermined and destroyed. Big Tech, Big Pharma and Big Government have united to crush family businesses and the small entrepreneurs. The Covid-19 Lockdowns have proven to be a cover for colossal corruption and for communist centralisation and control. “For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. For all the Law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: ‘You shall love your neighbour as yourself.’” Galatians 5:13-14 The Committee for Public Safety The French Revolution was government by a committee. The so-called “Committee for Public Safety” under the chairmanship of Maximillian Robespierre, chose who to guillotine. Over 40,000 Frenchmen lost their heads to the guillotine by order of the Committee for Public Safety. A further 300,000 were killed by firing squads and millions more died in the ruinous 25-years of Revolutionary wars that flowed from the French Revolution. Government by Committee The word Soviet means Committee. As in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). Hence, when the South African ANC government chose to sideline parliament and replace it with a committee of 6 who they assured us “consult their ancestors”! It was an ominous sign. Not only has parliament been sidelined, but the Bill of Rights has been effectively suspended by martial law-type lockdowns and curfews. Unconstitutional No law is valid if it violates the Bill of Rights. Yet, the extraordinary Covid-19 state of emergency/disaster has violated the essential freedoms of religion, belief and opinion; freedom of conscience; freedom of thought; freedom of expression; freedom of the press; freedom of association; freedom of assembly and freedom to demonstration; freedom of movement and freedom of trade, occupation, trade and profession. The lockdown was clearly unconstitutional. No politicians have the right to declare people’s livelihoods “non-essential!” Suffocating Society The lockdown has also seriously curtailed the “freedom for cultural, religious and linguistic communities to gather and practise their religion in free association with others.” 5
