Liberating Planet Earth

Introduction 13
The judgment of God can come upon a nation swiftly. When
one nation falls because of apostasy, others must be ready to step
in and “stand in the gap .“ This is also what missions are all about.
No nation gets any guarantees from God apart from covenantal
faithfulness – obedience to His law through the empowering of
the Holy Spirit.
There are those who want people to believe in another gospel,
a stolen gospel, a gospel that promises liberation but was invented
in the pits of hell, the place of eternal bondage. They are also “distributors”
of their religion. Many of these people operate in the
United States, exporting this alien religion to the Third World.
But the beneficiary of this “export” will not be the United States,
nor whatever nations might “import” it. The beneficiaries will be
the God-hating, God-denying tyrannical Marxist elite who imitate
the Pharaoh of Moses’ day, and who also imitate Belshazzar,
and Herod, who sought to bring God’s church under their bloodstained

United States-trained, it makes little difference: they work for a
supernatural being, a creature who would tear God from His
throne if he could, but since he cannot, he wages war against the
church of Jesus Christ.
The war is between heaven and hell. It has been thus from the
beginning. It will be thus until Christ returns in final judgment.
History has meaning only in terms of this battle. Your nation has
meaning, and so does mine, but only in terms of this battle. This
battle defines every event, every blade of grass, every birth and
death.
The Bible makes it clear: the person who takes his stand
against the God of the Bible, and against His eternal standards of
right and wrong, will be swept into the ash can, not just of history,
but of eternity — an eternal ash can that burns forever, gehenna
(hell), which will be dumped into the lake of fire (Revelation
20:14). (It was the Communist “Leon Trotsky”– Lev Bronstein –
who coined the phrase, “the ash can of history.” His imagery is
