Psalm 9:8–9 (KJV 1900)
8 And he shall judge the world in righteousness, He shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness. 9 The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, A refuge in times of trouble.
Oppression is the corruption of the dominion mandate. Man was meant to rule
the creation as the viceregent of the Most High [Gen 1.26-28]. When Adam sided with Lucifer
in opposition to God, his soul was distorted and the drive to lead, protect and nurture
degenerated into the urge to conquer, oppress and exploit his fellow man [Rom 1.21-22, 26-31]. The reflected glory of God for which man was created and by which he was to be fulfilled, became inaccessible and man has had to settle for the temporary gratification of insatiable physical and psychological lusts. Oppression is the mechanism by which many human beings are consumed for the sake of the lusts of the few.
Satan uses this evil predisposition to devise strategies of social control based upon various categories of oppression. Racially based oppression is one of the devil’s most effective means of world control because of its flexibility in uniting and dividing populations. Racial manipulation has proven an effective means of getting large groups of people to work against their own self-interest to advance Satan’s short- and long-term agendas.
The Scriptures abundantly testify that God is inalterably opposed to oppression and oppressors, and He is solicitous to the oppressed [1]. God is a refuge to the oppressed because He is love and because He is holy, but also because He is the source of every right concept of human dynamics. Christ came to set free the oppressed of every classification [Luke 4.18-19]. In steadfast opposition to Christ, the human race opposed, opposes and will oppose the righteous administration of God until the very last moment of
human history. Consequently, this resistance is directed against every effort of the true Church, the Body of Christ, to demonstrate and proclaim just human relations.
1 John 3:10 (KJV 1900): 10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
There is no form of true Christianity that is compatible with oppression. Any form of so-called Christianity which seeks to intimidate, incarcerate, enslave or kill on the basis of one’s failure to concede to a set of beliefs, is not Christianity, but a satanic counterfeit, and a poor one at that. Genuine Christianity proclaims eternal life on the basis of faith in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ for the sins of mankind [John 3.16]. False Christianity is immediately identified by its aversion to this message. False Christianity, if it mentions Christ at all, does so without reference to the blood, to faith, or to the new birth. False Christianity retains all the prejudices, violence and oppression of Satan’s systems of world control. False Christianity, whether it originates from Christian Nationalists, the Baptists, the Apostolic Reformation, the Heritage Foundation or the Vatican, is an operation of Mystery Babylon, Satan’s system of world administration.
