We are in all out spiritual warfare. The following statement dates back to 1938. I got it from my mentor, the late Bishop John R. Sheets, SJ in 1978. I published it and most of the rest of his paper in two books I wrote in 2007 and 2010. Since then, it has been posted numerous times on various blogs – and ignored.

“At the present time, the hatred of the Islamic countries toward the West has become hatred against Christianity itself. Statesmen are now taking it into account that there is a grave danger that the temporal power of Islam may return on a broad scale, and with it, the menace that it may shake off a West which has ceased to be Christian, and affirm itself as a great anti-Christian world power. Muslim writers say, "When the locust swarms darken vast countries, they bear on their wings these Arabic words, "We are God's host, each of us has 99 eggs, and if we had 100, we should lay waste to the world and all that is in it."

I put the onus on globalists because they have goals counter to life that parallel those of radical Islam in terms of outcome. For the globalist, it is to rule a world with an 80% reduced human population – “to save the planet” while enriching the greedy with climate change mandates.

For the jihadi, it is to rule the world under Islam and Sharia. The two may cooperate in a strange way today just as bankers finance both sides of wars, but they cannot co-exist.

Sadly, the evidence is now overwhelming – the United States of America is Islam’s “100th egg!” Aren’t we supporting jihadi’s here and everywhere with impunity, weapons, and money?

Haven’t we thrown the whole Middle East into chaos by eliminating inconvenient Muslim dictators (they’re all dictators) that once respected history, antiquities, Christians and traded with Israel?

Didn’t we replace them with the well-funded anarchy of radical Islam, Al Qaeda, the Muslim Brotherhood, ISIS, ISIL, Dash or whatever new militant group with parallel goals of world dominance? Are we not enriching our enemies with insane energy and fiscal policies?

Hasn’t our education system been taken over at a level of governance and propaganda that cannot succeed because it is working to expunge every element of our founding Judeo-Christian principles and patriotism? Haven’t we worked tirelessly to destroy our free enterprise system with regulations and harassment that destroys initiative and private enterprise while driving people into poverty and dependence?

Haven’t we ignored the principles of personal responsibility and e pluribus unum that made our nation and its health care system the greatest the world has ever seen?

Haven’t we disarmed and allowed the outdating of our military – even on its own bases where a single insane terrorist can wreak havoc on its personnel?

Aren’t we ignoring the slaughter of Christians by Muslim terrorists from beheadings to people gunned down, burned, stoned to death or kidnapped to become slaves and “wives” to Islamic perverts? Are we tolerating a culture where 75% of marriages are to first cousins – ignoring the genetic necessity of third degree of kindred to avoid genetic and mental disorders?

Are we the once freest nation in the world now the 100th Egg to “lay waste to the world and all that is in it?”  Praise God, we will overcome –

Sanctity and eternal reward are arenas of spiritual warfare – the bloodiest kind as history has proven time and again. Call it “spiritual warfare in the political arena” if it makes you feel better. After all, that’s the only way it’s reported - politically.

Now, if we’re in spiritual warfare, maybe it would help to get it defined. In the Old Testament there are three verses that lay it out for us – one, verse 14, is familiar to most believers. 2 Chronicles 7:13-15 New International Version (NIV) – but start with 13: 13 “When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts (see above) to devour the land or send a plague among my people, 14 if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 15 Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place.”

We have to admit, we have allowed the steady roll of “globalist” philosophy to undermine everything that is beautiful, meaningful and lovely for the sake of “rights,” lust and power. We’ve forgotten how privileged we are. We have let it happen as we basked in our prosperity. It is a real condemnation of several generations that failed to maintain a moral and spiritual balance to the joy of living. We can change as every generation that has honestly met its shortcomings has done.

(3rd Verse – US National Anthem)

Oh thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand

Between their loved homes and the war's desolation!

Blest with victory and peace; may the heav'n rescued land

Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a Nation.

Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,

And this be our motto: In God is our trust.

And the Star Spangled Banner in triumph shall wave

O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
