Conspiracies

We must be very careful when it comes to speculation about conspiracies, particularly if they lead us away from the Word of God. Consequently, we do not keep much information concerning the various conspiracies such as the Illuminati, Club of Rome, Trilateral Commission, etc. It is instructive to consider the historical example of Nazism. Pre-war Germany had any number of conspiratorial groups, but only one got the lucky breaks which enabled it and its leader to dominate an entire nation for more than a decade. In the 1920s, who could have singled out Hitler and the Nazis as the ones who would succeed?

Peter tells us that we have been “given all things that pertain unto life and godliness” (2 Peter:1:3-9 [3] According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: [4] Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. [5] And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; [6] And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; [7] And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. [8] For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. [9] But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.

We need to “keep reading.” In order to access what has already been given to us, we must do as the scripture instructs, “through the knowledge of Him that hath called us to glory and virtue.” In other words, if we want to know the will of the Lord, walk in the way the Lord wants us to walk, and do the things that are both pleasing to Him as well as most edifying to us - learn more about the Lord. The scriptures are the door to this knowledge. By continued immersion in His Word, we learn about Him and learn to follow Him (From The Berean Call correspondence file).
