Drug Cartels? Amateurs! Here’s the Real Thing…

World Events and the Bible – by Steve Barwik

According to this article by the Huffington Post, 7 out of every 10 Americans are now on prescription drugs, and more than half of the country are on at least two, mostly antidepressants and pain relievers.  Nearly one-quarter of women over the age of 50 take antidepressants.  4.02 BILLION prescriptions per year are written.  That’s 13 prescriptions per year for every man, woman and child.

In Revelation 18:23 the Scripture says, “And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.“

The word “sorceries” in the above verse is translated from the Greek word pharmakeia (see Strong’s G-5331), from which we derive our English word pharmacy, or pharmaceutical.  It means medication.  And it’s often used in conjunction with magic — not the kind of magic we think of like pulling a rabbit out of a hat, or casting a witch’s spell, but instead, casting a pall over the eyes of the populace by means of the drugs themselves.

In other words, by loading us down with drugs (both legal, and illegal), the deception being pulled off by the “great men of the earth” and the “merchants” of the earth is easily advanced.  Drugged, we become unable to engage in critical thought.  Mindless.  Passive.  Accepting. The drugs help with the acceptance.  They smooth over the ruffles between what you’re being told is true, and what you can see with your own eyes is true.

For example, the great men of the earth appear on TV and say, “We’re in the middle of a wonderful financial recovery.”  Then five other authority figures on a panel of experts somberly agree with this assessment, and they all show numbers that back it up.

But you think to yourself, “Economic recovery?  One-quarter of my friends are out of work, and everyone else is struggling to make ends meet…I haven’t had a raise in two years…my paycheck is buying less and less at the grocery store…my utility bills are sky high…my medical insurance now costs nearly as much as my rent.”

Or the great men of the earth tell you homosexuality and perversion are good things, and only “haters” disagree.  They tell you guns are evil, and only by disarming law-abiding citizens can crime be controlled, even though the cities with the most gun control have the highest crime rates.  They claim that by taking God out of the public arena the greater good will be served, even while the schools and neighborhoods become an ongoing battle ground.  

That’s when the cognitive dissonance — i.e., the difference between that which you’re being told, and that which you can see with your own eyes — begins to set in, and becomes emotionally painful.  It begins to hurt to think about it.  You begin to question your own sanity.  Feelings of anxiety, anger, frustration, confusion and even rage begin to well up inside.

So when your doctor asks, “How have you been FEELING lately?” you tell him the truth.  You feel lousy.  Full of anxiety.  You’re frustrated and confused.  And angry.  And he says “Boy, have I got just the solution for you.  Take new Paxitril.  You’ll FEEL better.  Your life will never be the same.”  And out comes the prescription pad.  It’s okay.  After all, it’s from the doctor.  He’s licensed by the system.  But pushing the pills is what he HAS to do to be part of the system.  And he’s amply financially rewarded for it.

So the drugs are prescribed.  Ah…I FEEL better now.  Things aren’t so bad, after all.  What was all of the commotion about, anyway?  There’s nothing I can do about it.  So why not just accept it.

Pall cast.  Eyes wide shut.  Yes, that’s what they want.  They want you to focus onmanagement of your feelings.  Because feelings can be managed with drugs.  Critical thinking can’t.  But it can be artificially suppressed in favor of a focus on passive feelings.

Passive feeling is safe.  There’s no conflict involved.  No corrective action need be taken.  Passive feeling doesn’t get your dander up like that critical thinking does.  After awhile, you don’t even notice the difference between what you’re being told by the great men of the earth, and the reality of what’s happening right before your very eyes.

After all, you’ve got new Paxitril.  And as a result, you’ve lost your salt.  And that’s what they want.

Luk 14:34  Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned?

Luk 14:35  It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Don’t lose your salt, dear ones.  The salty inherit the Kingdom.  Don’t let the great men of the earth rob you of that with their sorceries.  Stay in God’s Word.  Notice how God’s Wordis the reality, and everything that contradicts it is just a staged play.  And don’t be afraid to point out the difference.  When pointing out the truth becomes your job, the cognitive dissonance fails.  Truth prevails. 

2Ti 3:13  But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

2Ti 3:14  But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;

2Ti 3:15  And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

2Ti 3:16  All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

2Ti 3:17  That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

Stick with God’s Word.  Watch carefully how the great men of the earth stage the deceptive play that’s operating around you.  Watch how the great masses of people now simply accept it.  In many cases, mindlessly. 

Plant seeds of truth when God opens up the opportunity.  You never know when one seed of truth can end up pulling someone from the fire of Satanic deception, and drawing them into God’s Word through which they can regain their strength and understanding and even find the will to “Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.” 

[Note:  None of the above negates the fact that a person might need a course of prescription drugs for a specific health or medical issue.  Sometimes, a prescription drug is the only way to deal with a particular condition. And there’s nothing wrong with that.  If I have uncontrolled epilepsy, for example, I’m going to take the epilepsy drugs my doctor prescribes.  If I have a dangerous heart arrhythmia, and the only way to control it is to take a prescription drug, I’m going to follow my doctor’s orders and take the drug.  It’s important to have a knowledgeable doctor you can trust, who’s not just a pill pusher, so that in those instances in which prescription drugs are actually necessary, you get the right prescription drug for the right reason, and understand all of the potential ramifications.  Such a thing has nothing to do with half the country being on antidepressants and pain relievers, and the other half self-medicating with street drugs.  That’s largely a product of marketing — i.e., the work of the great men of the earth, who have convinced the population that every feeling can, and should be, be managed with a drug.  Use wisdom and common sense, and stick with your Father’s Word in all things, including your health.  And above all, value your ability to think critically.  Don’t give in to the base desire to just sit back and passively accept everything you’re told.  Do your due diligence.]
