All Are Victims

My Eve, the woman for whom your man would stand by always,

An Austrian holocaust survivor looking back in sorrow and bitterness tearfully said, “They were never victims!” She was referring to the thousands of Austrians who cheerfully welcomed the Nazi soldiers parading through the streets of Vienna after Hitler annexed Austria into the German Fatherland. On the pretext that a minority German speaking population justified enslaving a free nation, the people lost their Austrian citizenship and became at best second class slaves to Nazi Germany (including the German speaking minority). Every weak leader proclaims restoring the glory of past kingdoms to hoodwink the populace and blind them to the atrocities required to enslave a free nation and systematically steal the wealth and creativity from the new vassals. Dictators, tyrants and evil governments attack free people who live in the benefits of creative free societies offering freedom and equality. They can only give equality by making everyone poor and restricting freedom to redistribute wealth. In the promise to equally distribute wealth, the central power recreates a feudal state where citizens are allowed tenure on condition of homage and allegiance. The once free country and its people are now in a subordinate position to their captors who proclaim themselves as liberators. Photos of the liberating/conquering dignitaries replace those pictures held dear by the newly enslaved. Wealth is transferred to more worthy supporters of the new government and rights to assemble and disapprove of government policy are rescinded. In the ensuing weeks, months and years, all are victims. The most victimized of victims are those who never become aware that they are victims. They are the most pitiful of all. They are self deceived by aligning their wills to false promises and temporary riches. They cannot answer the simple question that God asked Adam, “Where are you?” God knew where Adam was. Adam was lost. He had taken one step away from Creator God but he required the redeeming hand of God to return to his lost glory. All was lost and Adam was separated from his God. He was not a conquerer, he was the ultimate victim because he did not recognize his enslavement as what it was. He had lost all his freedoms of innocence and holiness. The Austrians and the Czechoslovakians who welcomed the Nazi conquerers as liberators would pay the ultimate price when mothers who celebrated at parades in tears of happiness would weep in grief when they lost sons, daughters, family and friends in the ravages of the judgment that was certain to follow. Ultimately, the devils who they welcomed with open arms had to be forcefully cast out of the nation and their personal lives. All enlightened humans have learned that the devil entreats us with false promises which he cannot deliver and has no intention to perform. However he will never leave until he is forcefully evicted. Adam and Eve did not leave the Garden of Eden willingly. They were forcefully evicted. We also were victims my Kochana. But we have a Savior and Redeemer, Jesus Christ our Lord. We are not victims in Christ. We are restored to the grace, peace and love of our Father God and renewed in spirit and eternal Life. Jesus Christ came to save man from the tyranny of wickedness and evil which runs rampant in the unsaved, disobedient, deceitful  soul of man. All men are victims and Jesus Christ came to redeem us and set us free. It is written, “I have come that they might have life and that they might have it more abundantly.” It is also written, “You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.” Again it is written (John 16:6), “I am the way, the truth and the life. None comes to the father except through me. If you know me, you will know my father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him.” Praise the Lord God Most High! This means that we are not nor can we ever be victims again. We are the redeemed of the Lord. “Let the redeemed of the Lord say so!”

All the blessings of freedom are ours in Christ Jesus, Kochany
