PURE EVIL
Tucker Carlson: pure evil. Netanyahu: pure evil. Putin: pure evil. Trump: pure evil.
Tucker Carlson
He was the most popular TV host on American cable news. No longer. Now he is at the center of a firestorm threatening to engulf Fox News and especially downgrade Donald Trump’s image.
Why his sudden demise?
He privately admitted that echoing Trump’s claim that Biden’s election was gained by fraud, while Trump was the real winner, was not based on facts. He actually confessed that he passionately hated the former president.
Why then did he do it? He fed these lies to a public, mostly conservative Christians, because it would enhance the ratings, draw more advertisers, and boost earnings, affirming once again that “The lust for money is the root of all evil.” A pure evil man, promoting a pure evil plot.
Russia’s President, Putin.
If anybody personifies Satan, it is this man. He willingly sacrifices hundreds of thousands of Russians, to conquer Ukraine because it was part of the Russian Empire in ages past. In the process he also is killing thousands of Ukrainians, destroying their habitat, depriving millions of the grains that feed the world, and enhancing inflation everywhere. Pure evil, yet the Russian Orthodox Church backs him fully.
Netanyahu.
Israel’s Prime Minister gained his powerful position by courting the most conservative Jewish political parties, who claim all of Palestine as Israel’s legitimate possession, robbing Palestinians of their legitimacy. Why? If Netanyahu loses his premiership, he would face jail, because he currently is on trial on multiple corruption charges. Pure Evil, backed by Old Testament Religion. A man, rotten to the core.
Trump.
“Stop the steal”. A clever slogan, but a pure lie, referring to the supposedly fraudulent Biden election. Trump and lies are synonymous, feeding a fertile feast of falsehoods into a gullible mass, which, the late Dr. Harold Bloom called, ‘the know-nothing Christians’, clutching their Bibles, whose contents are a total mystery to them, using the Scriptures as if it were a talisman paving the road to heaven.
These evil men can only function because an evil society allows them.
Enter Pastor Cahn, a Messianic Jew.
Thank you, Dr. Naomi Wolf, who brought the following to my attention.
In The Return of the Gods, Cahn’s improbable, and yet somehow hauntingly plausible thesis is that ancient dark and metaphysically organized forces, “the idol Gods” of antiquity, have “returned” to our presumably advanced, secular post-Christian civilization.
Pastor Cahn’s theme is that, because we have turned away from our covenant with YHWH — particularly we in the West, and especially since the 1960s — therefore, the ancient “idol Gods”, or rather, ancient pagan energies, that had been vanquished by monotheism and exiled to the margins of civilization and human activity — have seen an “open door”, and thus a ready home to re-occupy, in us.
Pastor Cahn makes use of a parable in the New Testament to make this case. He cites Matthew 12: 43-45, in which Jesus tells a story about evil spirits that leave and then return and take seven more wicked ones with them. Verse 45 concludes, “And the final condition is worse than the first. That’s how it will be with this wicked generation”, pointing to today.
Pastor Cahn then writes how the old adversaries in the Hebrew Bible — YHWH’s blatant enemies: Baal, Moloch, and Astarta are re-emerging.
Who are they?
Those are “the idol Gods” that lured, hounded, bedeviled, and seduced Yahweh’s people — again and again.
Those are “the idol Gods” about whom the monotheistic God/Creator of all, continually and specifically warns us today, and the Children of Israel in the Older Testament.
Those are “the idol Gods”, the pure evil deities, to whom the Children of Israel constantly stray, disappointing and enraging our Creator.
Those are “the idol Gods,” with their child sacrifice and their graven images, against whom our father Abraham rebelled and taught his descendants to rebel.
Those are “the idol Gods” whose acceptance of child sacrifice – a real thing, a barbaric, culture-wide practice that continued for centuries in the tribes and civilizations surrounding the Children of Israel — was supplanted by animal sacrifice; this was an evolution in human civilization that is represented by the story of Abraham’s near-sacrifice of his son Isaac, when the child on the altar is replaced miraculously by a ram provided, at the last moment, by the Lord God.
The ‘Pure Evil’ is us.
Today everything we do, leads to greater evil: turning on a light, starting a car engine, these simple, seemingly innocent actions, have brought us the Satan-inspired evil of Climate Change of which we now face the calamitous consequences. We breathe evil, so not surprisingly, we also breed evil, pure evil, now, everywhere.
Christ’s return, will end this Satan’s rule. Pray for Christ’s coming.
