John 15:18-19, “If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.”
John Lennon (1940-1980) of The Beatles is famous for his 1971 song “Imagine,” which contain the following lyrics:
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today... Aha-ah...
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace... You...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
That is the very essence of what the New World Order (NWO) is becoming. The NWO is setting the stage for the coming Man of Sin, the Antichrist. Kindly said, John Lennon was young and foolish in his ideas. The truth of the matter is Mr. Lennon couldn't even get along with the other three members of The Beatles, let along with the whole world.
Lennon's liberal, hippie, revolutionary ideas sound good in theory, but in reality John totally ignores man's sin nature. Even if it were as Lennon envisioned, ridding the world of religious denominations and country borders, you'd still have a planet of wicked sinners:
Romans 3:10-18, “As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: Their feet are swift to shed blood: Destruction and misery are in their ways: And the way of peace have they not known: There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
The fact that The Beatles in their youth lived sinful lives of substance abuse, prostitutes, rebellion and fighting amongst themselves, testifies to the Bible's description of the inherent sinfulness of mankind. Sadly, John Lennon was shot twice in the back by a nutcase in 1980, which killed the beloved singer and musician. I admire John Lennon and his gift of music.
In this article I am simply addressing Lennon's personal philosophies, which embody the New World Order. John Lennon is idolized today by the world as a visionary of world peace. His philosophies are touted and promoted as the answer to the world's problems. It sounds great in theory, but it could never work. John Lennon's fantasy ignores the reality of the never-ending battle between evil and good.
I have been frustrated since President Joe Biden came to power in the White House. President Trump kept his promise to erect a 2,000 milelong Mexican border wall to keep out illegal immigrants. It's about time! But now President Biden is effectively undoing the good Mr. Trump accomplished, allowing 25,000 immigrants into the country this week alone. Joe Biden wants to make all the illegals legal. I am neither Republican or Democrat. If anything I'm a Libertarian, but for the most part I am a political atheist. I dread politics, because it is all so corrupt. When people ask what my political party is, I tell them “none.” Jesus never voted.
Sadly, the churches today are succumbing to John Lennon's fantasy of eliminating all absolutes from our world. That is why we literally have hundreds of English Bible versions today. I love something that Dr. Shelton Smith said recently:
“Experimenting with 'a variety of versions' (no authoritative text) in your church will sow seeds of doubt & pave the way for compromises from which you’ll likely never recover.” —Dr. Shelton Smith, editor of Sword Of The Lord
There are multiple different plans of salvation being taught today in Baptist churches all across America. Some say you must turn away from sinful bad habits to be saved. Others say you simply need to trust Christ (that's what I believe). Still others preach that you must exchange all that you are for all that Christ is, surrendering all to Jesus as “Lord” to be saved. All of these may be wrong, but they cannot all be right! Common sense dictates that fact.
By allowing poor and unskilled immigrants to continue flooding into the country, parasiting off American taxpayers who have to pay the bills, President Biden is fulfilling John Lennon's dream of a country without borders, because without borders a nation ceases to be a country! By promoting multiple Bible versions, churches and Bible colleges are helping to build the New World Order, denying that we have one absolute infallible Holy Bible today in English. By preaching various plans of salvation, people everywhere are confused in the churches. We have multiple Bible versions, multiple plans of salvation, open borders, ecumenical apostasy in thousands of Neo-evangelical churches, et cetera.
This is where John Lennon's foolish ideas actually lead, to a breakdown of law and order. The 2020 riots were a reality check, showing the moral condition of our country today. Democrats and wacky liberals pulled down historical statues across the country, even destroying a statue of Christopher Columbus. You may not like our nation's often ugly history, but it is still our history. We cannot change the past. By tearing down historical monuments in an attempt to erase our past, it only dooms us to repeat the past instead of learning from it. There is much wisdom in what I just said. We need our pain as a nation! Pain makes us think and change.
John Lennon's thinking was from a good heart. John was sincere, wanting the senseless killing to cease. Lennon was born in 1940, which means he grew up in the aftermath of World War II. He lived through the Cold War between the USA and Russia, when everyone was on nerve about impending nuclear war. John lived through the Vietnam War, seeing 58,000 U.S. soldiers come back in body bags from Asia. So you can't blame John Lennon for expressing his antiwar views through music. But what John didn't understand as a youth is that evil and good always coexist. That is why we need police. That is why we need armies. That is why we need fines, courts, prisons and probation to compel sinners to do right.
In his philosophical rants, John Lennon said he envisioned a world where there were no religious denominations, where everyone worshipped Jesus, Buddha, Zoroaster, Hare Krishna and Muhammad EQUALLY. That is the word Lennon uses, “equally.” John is saying that truth is not absolute, that it doesn't matter what you believe. But what saith the Scripture? John 14:6, “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” The Bible says salvation is found only through faith in the name of Jesus (Acts 4:10-12).
I hope you see how John Lennon's foolish ideas are the very foundation of the Devil's New World Order. To evidence what I am telling you, please read this disturbing quote from Gregory Brock Chisholm, first head of the World Health Organization (WHO):
“To achieve world government, it is necessary to remove from the minds of men their individualism, loyalty to family tradition, national patriotism, and religious dogmas.” —George Brock Chisholm, in a Speech given at the, Conference on Education, Asilomar, California, September 11, 1954
Gregory Chisholm made that statement in 1954. The Devil's NWO has been in the plans for a very long time. In fact, the conspiracy to achieve world government continues from one generation to the next, spanning millenniums, going back to Babel (Genesis 11:1-11). The Devil and those who worship and serve him (Luciferians) want illegal immigration. They want riots breaking out across the country, so they can rise up a police state. Luciferians want school shootings, workplace killings and drive-by gang shootings, so they can ban guns and render citizens helpless against government tyranny. They want chaos in society! They want abortions, immorality, perversion, homosexuality and a woeful lack of morals, because they know that the best revolutionary is a youth devoid of morals. This is the New World Order, setting the stage for the coming Antichrist (2nd Thessalonians 2:1-10).
I am so thankful that as a born-again Christian I do not think like John Lennon. As believers “we have the mind of Christ” (1st Corinthians 2:16b). I do not like war and killing, just like John Lennon didn't. It would be great if the world could all live in harmony, like the Coca-Cola commercial that I grew up hearing al the time in the 1970's. I love that commercial. But mankind is depraved by nature. Galatians 5:19-21 lists the works of the flesh, which are the carnal man's typical behavior. Galatians 5:22-23 lists the fruit of the Holy Spirit, which only the born-again believer can have, if we walk in the indwelling Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:25). This is why the Gospel is so important, because of its transforming power to convert the lost sinner into a redeemed saint, indwelt with God's Holy Spirit (Romans 1:16; 1st Corinthians 3:16-17).
The answer to the world's woes is not to eliminate national borders. The answer is not to get rid of religious denominations. Many people blame religion for history's wars and atrocities. For example, during the Catholic Spanish Inquisition, an estimated 150,000 people were persecuted between 1478 and 1834 and several thousand were cruelly tortured to death. But these crimes against humanity were not done by God's children. Much killing has been done in the name of God. During the Iraqi War, the mercenary militia group 'Black Water' brutally murdered masses of Iraqis, shooting people in the buttocks with exploding ammunition. Black Water were reported as to have quoted Old Testament Bible passages during their crimes. This was President George W. Bush's private army in Iraq, doing his dirty work to assault the Iraqis. What our nation did to the Iraqi people constitutes a volume of war crime atrocities.
Much stealing, exploitation and abuse is done today in the name of Christianity. Look at all the thieving televangelists, like Evangelist Pat Robertson and his 700 Club. They take in approximately $650,000,000 per year. That is sickening!!! The show appeals to the kind nature of viewers, and to crippled, elderly and dying people, conning them out of their money. But that is not God's fault. Men are sinful. Pat Robertson is a greedy man, who takes advantage of people to make filthy lucre. The staff of the 700 Club claim to have psychic powers of clairvoyants, seeing into TV land who is being miraculously healed. I wish the FCC was like the FDA, protecting good people from bad people!
The only hope for this world is a transformation of individual men with the Good News (Gospel) of the Lord Jesus Christ. The hope of America is in our churches, not in the White House. Politics won't rescue the country! Anarchy is certainly not the answer. Rebels overthrowing rebels will just lead to more rebels. Mankind has never been able to govern himself. ...
“It is impossible to mentally or socially enslave a Bible-reading people.” —Horace Greeley (1811-1872)
“It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible.” —George Washington (1732-1799)
The reason why America is in such a mess today is because people are no longer following the Word of God. When men disregard the Holy Bible, there is no longer an absolute moral standard; consequently, man becomes his own God. The U.S. Supreme Court flaunted itself above God in 1973, when they legalized abortion. The Supreme Court has a nasty history of overruling God! We saw this in June of 2015 when same-sex civil unions were legalized in America. Where will this evil departure from moral law and God's divine order take our nation?
