Someone has said that, "if you are not paranoid, you don't know much," or something to that effect. If knowing is synonymous with paranoia, then there are a great number of people who are not paranoid and who view some few others as such. No, I don't see an 'evil' behind every door, but I don't discount that it is possible that there is. Does that make me paranoid? If behind that door is a darkness difficult to penetrate, and if the unknown that might be hidden there could be a formidable force, finding my entrance unacceptable, would I want to enter without a light? Would I have the courage, even then? Should I ignore the door and ignore my thoughts about what may lurk therein? Why not just go on about living the life I have available and hope that whatever is hidden there will not be a future threat, at least not to me? After all, as all Christians know, or should know, our God will not be found behind a door that hides darkness, thus, it most likely hides an evil. Should we open that door? I suspect that many would say, no. Should I warn others if I suspect there to be an evil influence lurking behind that door? However, if I don't know for sure what is behind that door, and am warning others without that knowledge, won't I be seen as paranoid, especially if someone discovers that there was nothing to be concerned about behind that door? Probably, and probably rightly so. But, what if I take a light and investigate behind that door and learn the terrible truth that something very ugly and threatening exists there that is a menace to all? If no one believes me, does that make me paranoid? That begs the same question as, if a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it, is there still noise made from its' fall? When people refuse to believe the truth, the truth bearer is made no less truthful. Every Believer should be opening doors and warning others, regardless of whether or not they are believed, provided that is, that they are prepared for what they may find there.
History offers more than a recounting of past times as seen by those who portray it as they deem appropriate. History presents many unopened doors which are protected by sinister forces who don't want you to go there, especially if you go with Light, God's Light. These forces have their own idea of light, and it only thrives in darkness. Found there, behind these many doors throughout history, are the secrets of the occult and all their evil shenanigans. These sinister evil forces do not want their works in darkness exposed to light. Yet, does the serious Christian Believer have a choice in whether or not to open these doors and expose them? God instructs that we are to expose them and reprove them. However, He warns us to be prepared and He provides the light and the armor, without which we tread at our own risk, and may be swayed in the wrong direction.
As a small child, I never feared the dark; never feared walking into a darkened room. Thanks to my parents, I knew there was nothing there of which to be frightened. I had faith in what my parents had told me and I would prove it to other playmates who did fear the dark. I saw other parents actually tell their children not to go in there, because there were ghosts, or bogeymen, or monsters, there. Where other kids feared to tread, I felt brave and courageous and liked to demonstrate it. Such is our faith and belief in God; we can depend upon what He Says and be confident that, even when there does lurk an evil behind that door and in that dark room, He is with us and will protect us. We should dare to go where the fearful dare not, and let them know that even though their fears may seem justified, there is a Way that sayeth, "Fear not!" Those who cannot accept those words and summon forth the courage and faith that believes God when He says, "for I am with you," {they} have no business opening these doors. However, that {fear} may not be an acceptable excuse to a God who says his people are destroyed by a lack of knowledge. Neither may there be any excuse for those who have the faith and courage, but who do not open doors and warn others. Being slothful is not acceptable, but most Christians seem to have become slothful.
History has been recorded in a manner to hide as much as possible the truth that exposes evil. Events are recorded, but the 'behind the scenes' works of darkness are not deeply noted. To do so would shed too much light on what each generation would come to recognize as the sinister evil that it is. Like many of the youth of my time, I grew up in a small town where everyone knew most everyone else, and where children were taught in school to idolize our military heroes, our nation, our history, our flag, our constitution, and God. Being patriotic was just how we were, to the core. Life given in defense of one's country was, well, Godly. We were taught that the enemy were Communists and hating that enemy was encouraged and expected. They wanted to kill us. We should kill them first. Our political leaders were always right. If we failed to understand their actions, then they must know something we did not, and they knew best. That brainwashing or indoctrination was additionally confirmed at home. I loved learning history. I didn't realize that there was a second history, a hidden history, and even still another layer more deeply hidden in the occult. I never challenged history during the first many years. I accepted it, embraced it, and was enthralled by it. It had to be true. America was perfect; America was always right; America was God's nation. America was a Christian nation. I believed it, almost fanatically. I was ill-prepared for what I would eventually learn. I'm not sure when was the turning point, but it took a long time; a process. I fought the truth behind the doors with disbelief and denial, then skepticism, then questioning and more questioning, seeking and learning along the way. So much seemed as separates, much as we compartmentalize things in our mind without seeing a relationship between them. Coincidences were just that, coincidences. Connections between them seemed rather absurd. Blemishes in our country were just isolated incidents the results of a particularly evil or immoral person, who was weeded out. Government was still good, made up of good people. Just that one bad apple, occasionally.
Me, believe that our government involved a sinister thread of evil from its' very inception? When donkey's fly! But, I was living history now. I was seeing the aspects of a government that seemed very contradictory to all that I had been taught in youth. I attended college with Vietnam vets going on the GI Bill. I planned to attend OCS upon graduation and expected to drop bombs on those terrible Communists in Nam. Without getting into all the reasons, I did not go into the Navy Officer's Candidate School upon graduation, but shortly thereafter came Kent State. I sided with the military then, but I came to see it much differently some few years later, just as I saw Nam differently much later. I started opening some doors. I didn't like what I found there. It was beginning to shatter all that I had ever believed from history, about our country, about our political system, about government. History was not changed actually; just my perceptions of history began to change. I was learning what went on behind the events I had studied. I was learning that all was not as I had largely taken for granted. There was some serious dirt behind some of those doors. It took several more years to connect some dots and see the connections and see how wide spread was this dirt, a dirt that began to take on an evil significance. It was toxic and rampant and I was filled with disappointment. Me, whose breast swelled and chills went down my back saluting the flag to the strains of the National Anthem came to know that donkey's do fly, after all. And to think, for so long, I did not know.
Somewhere along the way, I connected God's Word more appropriately to my own life. There followed a long period of accepting what was taught from the pulpit as truth, just as I had accepted all that idolization of America in the history taught in school. Once again, I started opening doors, but this time it was the doors to God's Holy Word. These doors were there begging to be opened and were filled with light, when opened. Now came a time I was becoming disillusioned with church and what religion really was about. More doors, more study, and once again a change in perceptions of what I had previously learned in school and church. Now, I was finding some connecting doors and learned that God's Word exposes all else in this world. And this brings us to a second set of doors that I discovered in history and existing today, those opening to the most sinister evil imaginable, the occult; satanic influences rampant in God's Creation. These doors are often well hidden and filled with things to deceive. They open to a world little suspected by most Christians. They open to a government with a history of hideousness and evil beyond imagination. They open to a government that is today existing just as it always has, influenced by the occult and becoming more transparent as these sinister forces become more aware that Christian opposition is practically nil and most are compromised beyond a threat to them. Yes, even becoming an advantage to them with their false prophets and false doctrines. When donkeys fly, elephants will, too, and you can well believe that they are both demons plain and simple.
