Defiance in the Face of Judgment

The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel. And all the people shall know, even Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, that say in the pride and stoutness of heart, The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones: the sycomores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars. Therefore the LORD shall set up the adversaries of Rezin against him, and join his enemies together; (Isa 9:8-11)

I do not endorse everything in the video below, but I think it makes some valid points. We are under the hand of God's judgment for our national sins, but we act pridefully as though we are somehow righteous & just before Him.

As you watch the video below take special note of how Tom Daschle and John Edwards both quoted from the passage, but entirely out of the context of God's judgment.

Oklahoma City Bombing

Yesterday was the 15th anniversary of the Oklahoma City Bombing. Here's the official version, according to Wikipedia:

On April 19, 1995, McVeigh drove the truck to the front of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building just as its offices and day care center opened for the day. Prosecutors said McVeigh ran away from the truck after he ignited two time fuses; one was a two-minute fuse and another was a backup of five minutes. At 9:02 a.m., a large explosion destroyed the north half of the building. The explosion was so powerful that McVeigh, who was jogging away from the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building was lifted off the ground. The explosion killed 168 people and 450 were injured. Nineteen of the victims were small children in the day care center on the ground floor of the building.

Below is you will see a video that contains local news footage broadcast in the aftermath of the explosion. It disappeared down the memory hole after the Establishment's official story was promulgated by the national media.


The official story does not at all sound like the on-the-scene report, does it?
