See how they love one another

This is not a quick take from a boxing club in Queens, New York City. This is inside the Parliament in Kiev in Ukraine in May 2010.

April 27th 2010. Elected members of the Parliament in Ukraine struggling to find good solutions. Power politics at its best.

The World is fast erupting into merciless violence. Few of us gets surprised about riots in the streets. Every minute, somewhere on Earth “peace activists” and Police battling it out. Some still pay attention when the media reports on fresh mass murders or slaughter of innocent children.

There is no end of wars. Not a single second of peace all over the Earth.

The pictures you are about to see, are not taken among the goons in a downtown nightclub. Neither from a boxing match. These are the ugly images of elected politicians fighting tooth and nails inside of National Parliaments.

You might be surprised what kind of Republics and Kingdom, that have fallen into the club of failed nations.

John 13:35
By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

First: Ukraine

To jump the fence just got a new meaning.
Politicians have always been good in creating a smoke screen around their dealings.
Not an under cover agent. But the speaker in a Parliament.
To be a politician in former communist Russia, has always been a neck breaking experience.
Politicians have always been cleaver in bending the rules.

Genesis 6:5-7
The LORD saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time.

The LORD regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. So the LORD said,

“I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created—and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground—for I regret that I have made them.”

(end of scripture)

Could it be, that we are exactly in the same situation today, just as it was before the flood?

Matthew 24:37
As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.

We have been told is is bad on North Korea. But how healthy are the leaders, inside one of the major allied countries of America in Asia?

Second: South Korea

The man who lost the wig, was not able to understand the direction of the political winds in East Asia.
The budget session has always been crowded in South Korea.
Women in politics are not always a guaranty for a peaceful settlement.
This kind of jump would have made a Norwegian ski jumper envious.
Corridor politics in Seoul, might sometimes get a little bit to messy.

To be an expert in Judo, seems to be no disadvantage for a Koran man with political ambitions.

The Korean elite are really the great doers of politics.
To be a good politician in Seoul, you need to come on top of your problems.

Is there still anyone who remember what excuse Hitler needed, to grab power in Germany?

27th of February 1933. Hitler sent his goons and put the Parliament in Berlin on fire.

After World War II, we have been told that Japan is a peaceful corner of the Globe. With a noble culture, where elders respect each others.

Third: Japan.

In Tokyo you have to act quickly, to get all the political benefits that suddenly becomes available.
Even in Japan, there is a rush for the top positions.

Proverbs 6:18
a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil.

We have been told that Taiwan is one of the nations in Asia, that secure freedom and democracy. Another major ally of America, stand tough against communist China.

Forth: Taiwan:

Where were they all, during the release of the movie “Titanic”?

Jeremiah 17:9
“ The heart is deceitful above all things,And desperately wicked; Who can know it”.

Fifth: Russia

The Latino politicians are suppose to be good Catholics. Still there seems to be no peace in their heart, even after they have been elected to serve the people.

Sixth: Mexico

Seventh: Bolivia:

Matthew 24:21
For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again.

Turkey is a member of NATO, and is proposed to become a member of the European Union. But are we sure the Turks are able to get into any Gentlemen agreements?

Eight: Turkey:

Even from a different angle, they seems unable to get a breakthrough.

1 Corinthians 1:25
For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.

Italy is in the heart of the European Union, and claim to be the cradle of modern civilization. But could it be that the Italians are just as wicked as the rest of mankind?

Ninth: Italy:

The voice of the people are not always heard inside the Parliament in Rome.
The political climate is not always the coolest. In Rome, be like the Romans.

Knesset in Israel is normally a place ruled by ladies and gentlemen. But the Jews and Israeli Arabs do not always limit their actions during disagreements.

Ten: Israel

A hot tempered Russian lady wants to beat up a Arab “Christian” lady, who support Radical Islam, and has been branded as a traitor of the Jewish state.

India has the World record in adjournments in parliament business, due to brawls and screaming politicians. Sometimes they even hit each other with chapels .

Eleven: India.

Not because of shoe bites, but as an expression of disagreement.

Twelve: Malaysia.

Malaysia truly Asia. Even in this local assembly there seems to be a need to push for a quick solution.

There is no longer business as usual in Somalia. But the last picture is an example of hard core political disagreement.

Finale: Somalia

It you cant join them, beat them black and blue….

Even inside the Parliament in the Green Zone in Baghdad, no one seems to be safe from political disputes.

W. Bush during a narrow escape. Lucky for him. He was not even elected by the majority of the voters in the US.

In many “parliaments” there has never been a brawl. There is simply no freedom, not even to fight. Like in China, Saudi Arabia, Damascus, and Sudan.

There can never be peace on Earth, without the Price of Peace, Jesus the Messiah present. Behold. He will soon be back. Till than. Learn from the wisdom of Jewish King David:

Psalm 1:

Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the LORD, and who meditates on his law day and night.

That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither— whatever they do prospers.

Second dictator Mubarak takes over in Egypt

The head of Egypt’s army has given a TV address, announcing that President Mohammed Morsi is no longer in office.

The masses in Cairo would rather have Military dictatorship than an Islamic republic.
The masses in Cairo would rather have Military dictatorship and Abdul al-Sisi than an Islamic republic ran by the Muslim Brotherhood. .

Gen Abdul Fattah al-Sisi said the constitution had been suspended and the chief justice of the constitutional court would take on Mr Morsi’s powers.

He said Mr Morsi had “failed to meet the demands of the Egyptian people”.

Mr Morsi and at least two leaders of his Muslim Brotherhood’s political wing are being held in detention, Brotherhood officials say.

My comment:

All people with warm hearts must thank Jesus the Messiah, that the Muslim Brotherhood is out of the Governmental offices in Egypt.

I believed this to be impossible. But all powers in Heaven and on Earth is with the King of Kings. No one can rule in any kingdom, without silent or active permission from the Messiah.  He removes rulers, he bless rulers, or simply keep quiet.

This is one of the most challenging parts of the New Testament:

Romans 13: 1-5

Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established.

The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. 

For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and you will be commended. For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good.

But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God’s servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer.

Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also as a matter of conscience.

Hitler was removed from office in Berlin. Now, we must all learn a lesson from last night in Cairo, and keep Islamic forces out of office.

No longer so important, or will he come back?
No longer so important, or will he come back?

But: There is a but. The Muslim Brotherhood won two elections, both quite free and fear according to Western standards.

If a popular uprising can decide who shall govern a nation, than anarchy or totalitarian rule will surly follow.  The military must be loyal to elected leaders.

Or what might take place even in Washington D.C one blue day?

General Abdul Fattah al-Sisi is the new military dictator in Egypt. Last night the Egyptians got a new Hosni Mubarak. What goes around, comes around. We are back to the starting point of public anger in Cairo.

In many ways, Abdul Fattah al-Sisi in Cairo is not so different from Basher Al- Assad in Syria. Both are wiling to use military power to curb the Islamist forces.

When the Egyptians was brought to the edge of starvation, they demanded food, electric power and gasoline. The men obedient to “allah“was not able to deliver.  “allah” failed them.

I pray, all Egyptians are able to see this. 

Now US President Barack Hussein Obama will be in a fix.  He support the rebels in Syria, but not the “rebel Brotherhood” in Egypt.

Why?

Is it better to have a military dictatorship in Egypt than in Syria?

How do military dictatorship’s fit into the American and Europeans ideals of freedom and democracy?

Lets wait and watch.
