IS AMERICA LOSING ITS “MANDATE FROM HEAVEN”?

IS AMERICA LOSING ITS “MANDATE FROM HEAVEN”?

(From time to time I present GUEST POSTS that I believe are worthy of sharing with my website blog readers who seek the truth about what is happening on the national and global scene. I commend the one below to your discernment. The writer is David Sparkman – Editor: [email protected]

“I read a book some time ago entitled The Confucian Cycle: China's Sage and America's Decline by William A. Taylor and Kenneth R. Taylor, available on Amazon’s Audible site. The description reads:

"2,500 years ago, the Chinese sage, Confucius, observed that all governments follow a cycle: from unity, through prosperity to stagnation, then to collapse and anarchy.

He taught that when government officials sought personal power or wealth instead of taking care of the people, society lost the “Mandate of Heaven” and fell apart.

By “Mandate of Heaven,” Confucius meant that God Himself had directed how society should work. Chinese history shows 15 or 20 collapses when the government lost virtue and the country broke apart in civil war, but whenever the Chinese followed Confucius’ rules, Chinese society worked well.

From his day to ours, civilizations all over the world have followed the same cycle Confucius observed. Today’s United States is well into the “stagnation” phase and many observers predict a collapse.

But America has an advantage Confucius never imagined. Unlike the Chinese, America’s voters have the power to replace their rulers and reform their government without armed revolution.

The Taylors’ wide-ranging tour through history, culture, and modern news shed new light on how the past both predicts the future and can be used to alter it for the better.

We have just witnessed the first 20 months of what can only be called a criminal government bent on destroying all political opposition, and bent on never again having a real two-party election. Right now, their plan doesn’t make sense. They are doing everything wrong. They have ruined our economy, helped Iran and China, armed the Taliban to the teeth, just about have us in a war in Ukraine, triggered a period of extremely high inflation, enabled censorship of social media, and are highly dependent on the news media's spin machine to keep their supporters in ignorance.

They seem to have picked a bumbling figurehead and may replace him soon, not that it would change anything. Those behind the scenes would still be making the decisions for whoever would take over.

Do not Assume they are Dumb. So here is the problem: If they lose control of the government in the coming election, they know they are in serious trouble. Many of the Senior managers in government will lose their jobs, and possibly face prison time (I am being kind). If they feel cornered, things may get nasty. In battle, you never want to surround the enemy. You attack from no more than three sides, leaving the possibility for the enemy to flee. The enemy’s retreat has won many battles with very few casualties on the victor’s side.

If we can break through the media’s lies and spin and educate the people, we may be able to retain our Republic. Violence will play into their hands, and they will do what every dictator has done, and try to declare martial law. Let’s not go down that path. Push the states to investigate voter fraud. Keep this next election from being stolen and talk to your neighbors. Go after local corruption and replace the dishonest officials and the weak officials who allow corruption.”

(Leona’s note: Read the above in tandem with many verses in the Bible like Proverbs 14:34 AMP “Righteousness [moral and spiritual integrity and virtuous character] exalts a nation, But sin is a disgrace to any people.”)

David Sparkman is right on! Our country was hijacked in 2020 by communists and traitors who are now in charge. They are not going to give up their grasp on power. We are lost unless we restore voter integrity. The communist Democrats will do everything they can to allow vote by mail and more...
