I’m working on several great new items. I have been busy lately thus the delay. Several of the upcoming articles will be of the legal and governance variety. These are based on some particular, current newsworthy cases and on my own experiences.
Here at the blog things have never been better – week after week and month after month I continue to see new levels of readership. Thank you all.
Recently, I have written about the American police state. Today John Whitehead of the Rutherford Institute posted an excellent piece – far better than anything I’ve done. His is an analysis of the similarities of the First Century Roman Empire (and the death of Jesus Christ) and the modern American state: Jesus Died in a Police State. It’s definitely worth a read:
Jesus’ arrest account testifies to the fact that the Romans perceived Him as a revolutionary. Eerily similar to today’s SWAT team raids, Jesus was arrested in the middle of the night, in secret, by a large, heavily armed fleet of soldiers. Rather than merely asking for Jesus when they came to arrest him, his pursuers collaborated beforehand with Judas. Acting as a government informant, Judas concocted a kiss as a secret identification marker, hinting that a level of deception and trickery must be used to obtain this seemingly “dangerous revolutionist’s” cooperation.
This analysis presents a philosophical problem for the Sword of God crowd, not that they’re into philosophy.
More to come, stay tuned.
