Those who believe in God know and understand that Almighty God has both the power and the right to direct the course of human history. They also know and understand that God has a plan for the human race and that His plan will be fulfilled in accordance with His will.

Democracy is a very important part of God's plan for the human race. It came about because God recognized the need to establish a counterforce to oppose social movements intent on conquering the world, such as the Nazis and the Marxist-Leninists and others. He began to assemble a counterforce when He established democracy in America.

Once it was established in America, democracy spread to many other nations and developed into a worldwide movement - the Democratic world movement. The Democratic world movement is an example of Almighty God directing the course of human history. It is the means He chose to defend and maintain His kingship of the human race against those who would attempt to take it from Him. It was never part of His plan to allow them to succeed in usurping his right to rule over all creation.

Many years after the establishment of democracy in America, the nations that had become democratic during those years joined together and defeated the Nazi and Communist attempts to take over the world. After their defeat, democracy continued moving forward in the world coming to power in country after country.

At the present time in world history, the Democratic world movement is again being challenged by an enemy that wants their anti-democratic ideology to prevail everywhere. They want to take over the world and dominate the human race just as their Nazi and Communist predecessors did. But democracy and the Democratic world movement stands in the way of their worldwide ambitions.

Al Qaeda and other anti-democratic terrorists claim they are acting in accord with the will of God when they plan and work for the destruction of the Democratic world movement. They claim they are God's instruments and that America is "the great Satan." That is how they continually refer to America. They are taught to believe that Americans are the instruments of God's enemy and that God is opposed to democratic government and the democratic way of life. They are wrong of course.

The minds of our Jihadist enemies have been clouded and they have been misled by the greatest of all false teachers. In the democratic way of life, God has a very prominent place since He is acknowledged by Americans to be the author of human rights. In fact, God originated our way of life, democracy, when He "endowed" us all with "inalienable rights" as it says in our Declaration of Independence.

The democratic principle of inalienable rights forms the basis upon which democracy is founded. All anti-democratic systems have always been based on the opposite principle, the principle that holds that there is no such thing as inalienable rights. That is the most basic principle in all anti-democratic societies. It is certainly the most basic principle of all terrorist movements.

Our present enemies put their principle fully into practice at all times just as their Nazi and Communist predecessors did. But that principle is not God's principle. That is the principle of God's enemy and those who stand on that principle stand with God's enemy, not with God.

As Lincoln said:

"These two principles are as different as God and mammon. Whoever holds to the one must despise the other."
~ October 16, 1854

The Nazi and Communist movements came to power because God's enemy had infiltrated those organizations and helped them gain power. His enemy used them and their followers to achieve his own purposes. Those movements had a common goal of world conquest as does God's enemy. Knowingly or unknowingly, they were helping God's enemy to achieve his goals. They were his minions.

God's enemy wants to rule the world. He wants to replace God as the king of all creation. He wants to be God. That has always been his goal. If his minions took over the world, then he would have succeeded in reaching his goal because when his minions rule, he rules through them.

All during the last several hundred years, the Democratic world movement has prevailed over many anti-democratic regimes in many parts of the world, and when his minions are defeated, God's enemy is defeated. That is what God's plan calls for; that is what God intended our movement to do.

God had an additional reason for establishing the Democratic world movement. He had more in mind than just defeating tyrannical social movements that were challenging His right to rule the world. He also intended that our movement would bring freedom to the entire human race, as Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln said it would. The two early leaders of our movement had predictions as to its future:

Jefferson said:

"... the flames enkindled on the Fourth of July 1776, have spread over too much of the globe to be extinguished by the feeble engines of despotism; on the contrary, they will consume those engines and all who work them."
~ September 12, 1821

Abraham Lincoln said:

"Of our political revolution of '76 we are all justly proud...in it was the germ which has agitated and still is to grow and expand into the universal liberty of mankind."
~ February 22, 1842

God's enemy continually works against the Democratic world movement because it blocks his path to the throne. He will settle for nothing less than the complete destruction of democracy and the Democratic world movement. In today's world, he has again found minions to do his work, and he attacks us through them.

After defeating the Axis powers in World War II, more of the usurpers' cohorts attacked us in Korea and Vietnam. His objective in both those countries was to establish anti-democratic regimes and to stop the advance of democracy throughout the world. Attack, destabilize, create chaos and confusion, and then conquer. Destroy all attempts to move democracy forward in the world. That is his plan, repeated over and over in various parts of the world. He is attempting to do the same today in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan.

The struggle of the Democratic movement against the various anti-democratic movements has always been a spiritual struggle, because God's right to rule over the human race is being continually challenged by His enemy. Two earthly forces are in continuing conflict with each other to determine the outcome of the spiritual struggle: democratists versus anti-democratists.

During the last century, God's enemy was able to bring his minions and cohorts together in strong military coalitions, composed of large and powerful nations, such as the Axis powers, then the Communist world movement, in his continuing attempts to take over the entire world through them. But he is no longer able to bring together strong military coalitions composed of large and powerful nations. While our present day opponents do have power, they do not have the strength to roll back the tide of democracy that has spread over so much of the globe. Consequently, God's enemy has decided to change his plan of attack. Events in England tell us what his new method of attack will be.

Recently, the people of England were warned by their government that the city of London is a likely target for a nuclear attack by terrorists. In three separate reports issued by the United Kingdom's Office for Security and Counterterrorism it is pointed out that, "al Qaeda is the first transnational organization to support the use of... nuclear weapons against civilian targets."

Lord West, the U.K.'s Security Minister, warned that a terrorist attack could be launched from a boat traveling the length of the Thames River, reaching London, then detonating a nuclear bomb in the heart of London. Lord West told reporters, "I think the public would be surprised to discover that we do not know about every single contact with a vessel." Lord West, in effect, has told the people of England that their government's ability to completely prevent a nuclear attack in their country is very much in doubt. ^[1]

The possibility of a nuclear attack is the same for America as it is for England, probably greater. We have no fully effective defense against such an attack. Washington, D.C., just as London, is a prime target. One atomic bomb on Washington would obliterate the White House, both Houses of Congress, the Supreme Court, the Pentagon, and the headquarters of numerous governmental agencies needed to run the country. Large population centers, New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, and others will doubtless be terrorist targets. But Washington, D.C. will likely be the first target.

During the Cold War, it was never certain that Communist Russia would attack us with nuclear weapons. But al Qaeda and other terrorists will not hesitate to do so. What chance is there that terrorist groups or rogue nations will soon come into possession of deliverable atomic bombs? It is a certainty.

The world is already full of atomic weapons numbering in the thousands. Nuclear material to make the bombs can be purchased over the internet according to the British report, and between 1993 and 2008, there have been 1,562 incidents where nuclear material was lost or stolen according to the International Atomic Energy Authority, and sixty-five percent of those losses were never recovered.

While our enemies do not have the power to take over the world, they do have the potential power to destroy it - or soon will have. They know how to penetrate our defenses and we cannot entirely prevent them from doing so.

If nuclear warfare begins and becomes widespread then the world is on the path to complete destruction. But if widespread atomic warfare occurred, that would mean that God's enemy has won the spiritual struggle because then it is not God's plan for the human race that is working - it is His enemy's plan that is working. Two plans in conflict with one another and only one is to predominate. Whose plan will that be? All those who believe in God know the answer to that question. Destruction of the world is not part of God's plan.

The spiritual struggle is coming to an end. It is almost over because any struggle is over when one of the contestants no longer has the power to overcome his opponent. That is the present predicament in which our enemy finds himself. He realizes that he and his minions and cohorts no longer have the ability to conquer the world, and that is why he is altering his plan of attack. What he cannot conquer he intends to destroy. That is his present plan.

God can put an end to our enemy's plan anytime He chooses to do so. All believers know that. God never intended that His enemy would be among us for all eternity. That was never part of God's plan for the human race.

The banishment of our enemy is imminent because the Democratic world movement has created the historical condition which now makes that possible. He has been defeated in his attempts to conquer the world, and that is the necessary precondition for his banishment. We are now at that point in history.

We are not able to completely protect our own country from a nuclear attack nor do we have the ability to prevent worldwide nuclear warfare. Only God has the power to do that. Under these circumstances only His direct intervention can prevent His enemy from carrying out his plan for worldwide destruction.

The spiritual struggle ends when Almighty God banishes His enemy from our world, back from whence he came. When He sends His enemy into eternal exile, all evil goes with him because His enemy is the sole source of temptation to commit evil and when the temptation to commit evil is gone, evil is gone. There has never been a more necessary time for that to happen than now. It will occur soon.

If freedom is to come to the entire human race, as Jefferson and Lincoln have both said, what kind of freedom can we expect? Freedom from evil - freedom from the source of all evil - freedom from our ages old enemy, of course. The founder of the Democratic world movement had that intention when He initiated and gave ongoing and continuing impetus to our movement.

A world without evil in it? That has always been a very important part of God's plan for the human race.
