All Power Belongs to the Lord

I am going to give you some information about one of the most beloved Christmas songs by Christians world wide. The song is O Holy Night!

I have heard this song sung by devout Christians who embrace the song with strong emotion. I have heard the song sung on Stormfront Radio and I know many White Nationalist who love the song - O Holy Night!

The first verse is especially inspiring.

Oh holy night! The stars are brightly shining,
It is the night of our dear Saviour's birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
Till He appear'd and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angels' voices!
Oh night divine, Oh night when Christ was born;
Oh night divine, Oh night, Oh night Divine

I know I always get a chill as the words, "Faaaaaaall on your Kneeeeeees" are sung and I think that same chill invades the heart and soul of most people.

The words of the song were written in 1847 by Placide Cappeau de Roquemaure who was the commissionaire of wines in a small French town and was locally well known for this ability to write poetry. A local priest, knowing of his poetic genius approached him to write a poem for the upcoming Christmas celebration. Placide was somewhat surprised at the request because he seldom attended church. But he did feel honored at the request and it is said that he composed the poem while traveling, by coach, down a dusty bumpy road to Paris.

Placide Cappeau took with him the gospel of Luke and read it thoroughly and imagined himself as a witness to the birth of Christ and the feelings that would have traveled through those who were there as the angels sang out their praise. By the time he arrived in Paris, the inspired words "Cantique de Noel" (O Holy Night) were complete.

Cappeau immediately knew that his poem was more than a poem that it wasn’t complete until it was put to music. But he was not a music composer and could not give this song the justice that it needed. He immediately contacted his friend, Adolphe Charles Adams, for help. Adams was a well-known classical musician, Adams had studied in the Paris conservatoire. His talent and fame brought requests to write works for orchestras and ballets all over the world - from London to St. Petersburg.

Adams quickly went to work to unite an original score to Cappeau’s beautiful words into a single inspired expression of faith and hope. Adams’ finished work pleased both poet and priest. The song was performed just three weeks later at a Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve.

So today we have a song loved throughout the Christian world. A song that lifts high the glorious name of Jesus Christ as the song says, the birth of Christ brought forth a "new and glorious morn."

Now here is what you may not know about this beloved Christmas song. The author of O Holy Night was a socialist revolutionary that personally rejected the atonement we as Christian discover in the blood of Jesus Christ. He was a free thinking radial that was active in the revolutionary activities of France.

And the famous music composer, Adolphe Charles Adams, was Jewish who did not accept the Christian claim that Jesus was the long awaited Messiah.

And so one of the most beloved Christmas songs was a joint composition of an non-Christian revolutionary and a Christ rejecting music composer of Jewish ancestry.

Now some of you are going to be disappointed and perhaps even a little depressed. You may never again listen to the song in quite the same manner.

But before you allow depression over the matter to get the best of you I want you to consider Isa 45:23 and Romans 14:11.

Isaiah 45:21-24 - ". . . there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me. 22 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. 23 I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear. 24 Surely, shall one say, in the LORD have I righteousness and strength:

Rom 14:11 - "For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God."

God’s power is total and complete. There is a word that can be associated with the power of God and the word is "trenchant." The word trenchant means powerful, cutting, and among other definitions - vigorously effective. God’s power is effective. It will accomplish its purpose. We are told in scripture, "God’s word shall not return void." In other words it will accomplish its purpose. A trenchant command from God cannot be denied - it cannot be disobeyed!

Isaiah and Paul in Romans tells us that unto Christ "Every knee shall bow and every tongue will confess." That my friend is power - that is a trenchant command. Even those that hate the Lord - even those who fight against his power, authority and glory must praise his name.

When you hear that beautiful Christmas song - O Holy Night, don’t dwell on its non-Christian author and its Jewish composer. But instead think about the power of God who is able to go into the depths of man and bring forth praise.

Today the Jewish composer and the non-Christian author are known for nothing else. God can, at his will, cause even the rocks of the earth to burst forth in praise, Luke 19:38-40. So don’t marvel that a non-believing Jew and a non-believing revolutionary socialist produced one of the greatest and most loved Christmas songs. It should actually give the song greater depth and meaning. It demonstrates the power of God, for he will bring forth praise from what ever and who ever he chooses. All creation is subject to his will.

More than a song written by a Christian - this song both praises the Lord and at the same time is a living demonstration of his power over the lives and souls of man.

Yes, it was a holy night for . . .

It is the night of our dear Saviour's birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
Till He appear'd and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angels' voices!
Oh night divine, Oh night when Christ was born;
Oh night divine, Oh night, Oh night Divine

God can bring forth praise from any who he chooses and they cannot refuse his power. Philippians 2:9 - "That at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord."

If anyone should attempt to taunt you about your most beloved Christmas song being written by an atheist and a Jew just remind them of the power of your God - everyone must praise his name - everyone!

MERRY

CHRISTMAS!

Continental Navy Organized

The Continental Navy was organized on this day, December 22 in 1775

The main goal of the navy was to intercept shipments of British war materiél and generally disrupt British maritime commercial operations. Because of the lack of funding, manpower and resources, the initial fleet consisted of converted merchantmen, with exclusively-designed warships being built later in the conflict. Of the vessels that successfully made it to sea, their success was rare and the effort contributed little to the overall outcome of the rebellion. The fleet did serve to highlight a few examples of Continental resolve, notably launching Captain John Paul Jones into the limelight.

Jones (pictured) is considered the father of the American Navy.

The early Continental Navy provided needed experience for a generation of officers who would later go on to command future conflicts which involved the early American navy.
With the war over and the Federal government in high demand of all available capital, the final vessel of the Continental Navy was auctioned off in 1785 to a private bidder, thus ending the duration of the Continental Navy.

Robert Barnwell Born on This Day

Robert Barnwell was born on this day, December 21, 1761, in Beaufort, South Carolina. Barnwell was a South Carolina revolutionary and statesman who was a delegate to the Continental Congress and a United States Congressman.

His education was by a private tutor after he had exhausted the resources of the Beauffort common school. But he interrupted this and entered the revolutionary war at the age of 16 as a private in the militia. In the maneuvering after the Battle of Stono Ferry, his company was camped on Johns Island in late June of 1779. A British surprise attack at night cut them up badly in an action known as the Battle of Mathews' Plantation. The sixteen year old Barnwell was wounded so badly that they stripped his gear and left him for dead. He was found in the field by a slave and taken to his aunt. She and her daughter nursed him back to health.

He returned to duty, rejoining the militia the next spring as a Lieutenant, and by the end of the war had risen to Lieutenant Colonel.

Barnwell was elected to the South Carolina house of representatives for 1787-1788. He was a delegate representing South Carolina in the Continental Congress in 1788 and 1789. He was returned to the state house for terms in 1790-1791, and 1794-1801, and in 1795 he served as speaker of that house.

In the spring of 1788 Robert was a delegate to South Carolina convention that ratified the United States Constitution. He was elected to one term in the U.S. House (1791-1793) for an at-large seat, but declined to run again. Beginning in 1795 he was the chair of the board of trustees for the new Beaufort College, and held that position for many years. He was elected to the state senate for 1805-1806, and was President of that body in 1805.

He died in Beaufort, North Carolina on October 24, 1814, and is buried there in the churchyard of the St. Helena Episcopol Church. His son, Robert Woodward Barnwell, was a Senator in both the United States Senate and the Confederate Senate and was signer of the Confederate Constitution.

Edison Privately Demonstrates Incandescent Light Bulb

It was on this day in 1879 that Edison demonstrated his incandescent light bulb.

The incandescent light bulb is a source of artificial light that works by incandescence. An electrical current passes through a thin filament, heating it until it produces light. The enclosing glass bulb prevents the oxygen in air from reaching the hot filament, which otherwise would be destroyed rapidly by oxidation.

Most people would immediately claim that Thomas Edison invited the light bulb or what is called the incandescent light. The fact is Thomas Edison invented the first practical incandescent light. Prior to Edison’s contribution, the incandescent light was of little value outside of being a novelty. Edison perfected the research and produced a light that could enjoy everyday use.
In 1802 Humphry Davy had what was then the most powerful battery in the world at the Royal Institution of Great Britain. In that year, he created the first incandescent light by passing the current through a thin strip of platinum, chosen because the metal had an extremely high melting point. It was not bright enough nor did it last long enough to be practical,
Others continued making improvements over the years. In 1809, Davy created the first arc lamp by making a small but blinding electrical connection between two charcoal rods connected to a 2000 cell battery. Demonstrated to the Royal Institution in 1810, the invention came to be known as the Arc lamp.

In 1835, James Bowman Lindsay demonstrated a constant electric light at a public meeting in Dundee, Scotland. He stated that he could "read a book at a distance of one and a half feet".
In 1840, British scientist Warren de la Rue enclosed a platinum coil in a vacuum tube and passed an electric current through it.

In 1841 Frederick de Moleyns of England was granted the first patent for an incandescent lamp.
In 1845 American John Wellington Starr acquired a patent for his incandescent light bulb involving the use of carbon filaments.

In 1851 Jean Eugène Robert-Houdin publicly demonstrated incandescent light bulbs on his estate in Blois, France. His light bulbs are on permanent display in the museum of the Chateau of Blois.

In 1872 Alexander Nikolayevich Lodygin invented an incandescent light bulb. In 1874 he obtained a patent for his invention.

However, there are claims that Lewis Latimer, a black inventor was the actual inventor of the light bulb and received a patent for his "invention" in 1882.

However, 2 years before Latimer’s patent, there were already countless patents for incandescent light bulbs, of which over 50 were submitted by Thomas Edison.

Latimer’s inventions were never used except within the Hiram Maxim's company where Latimer worked at the time. Later (1884) he would work for Thomas Edison, primarily as a draftsman and an expert witness in patent litigations.

Thomas Paine Publish First Essay of The American Crisis Series

The first of the American crisis essays was printed in the Pennsylvania Journal on this day, December 19, 1776 and begins a call for Americans to serve the cause of American independence.

"These are the times that try men's souls: The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value."

Thomas Paine (January 29, 1737 – June 8, 1809, New York City, U.S.) was born in Thetford, England and immigrated to the American colonies just in time to take part in the American Revolution. He had met Benjamin Franklin in London on June 4, 1774 and the two soon became friends. In September Franklin advised Paine to emigrate to the British colonies in America, and wrote him letters of recommendation. Paine left England in October, arriving in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on November 30, 1774.

In 1776 while working for the Pennsylvania Journal, Paine published Common Sense which spread quickly among the colonists. Within three months, 120,000 had been distributed. Its total sales in both America and Europe reached 500,000 copies. It convinced many colonists, to seek independence from Great Britain.

As the burden of war began to grow, Paine published a series of important pamphlets, The American Crisis, which inspired the colonists to endure the ordeals in their struggle with the British. To inspire the troops, George Washington ordered it to be read out loud to his men. Evidently, this was done, not because they were illiterate, but because Washington felt it was important enough that he wanted to insure each of his men would hear the words of The American Crisis. Also it would have been too difficult for each of his men to purchase their own copy.

From the moment Thomas Paine wrote his first words of political thought be became a controversial figure. He was hunted down by the British, fled to Paris, serve in the French government, imprisoned, miraculously escaped execution, returned to America and died alone. Only 6 people attended his funeral.

There are things he wrote which I would strongly disagree with, but he spoke his mind freely and without reservation. He is credited with giving our nation its name - The United States of America.
-------------------------------------
The hysterical state of American Jewry toward anyone which claims the mantel of Christianity seems to have no limits.

Even the most liberal advocate for the globalist agenda cannot escape the barrage of Jewish anti-Christian attacks if they dare identify themselves too strongly as Christian.

For example, Mike Huckabee & John McCain are running for president and are certainly not a friend of those who want to secure our borders and maintain American sovereignty. However, if they state the obvious they can get in serious trouble. There is no doubt that America was founded as a Christian nation. The claim of separation of church and state never entered the minds of our founding fathers. Their concern was the establishment of a state church such as exist in England. There is to be no special recognition of denominational preference. But that we were a Christian nation was undeniable and incontestable.

Mike Huckabee stated in 1998, "I hope we answer the alarm clock and take this nation back for Christ. I got into politics because I knew government didn’t have the real answers. The real answers lie in accepting Jesus Christ into our lives."

The head of the National Jewish Council has sent out an alert urging Jews to keep an eye on Huckabee. But even John McCain has not escaped the anti-Christian hate of organized Jewry. Recently, McCain was asked in an interview with Dan Gilgoff at Beliefnet.com about whether or not the Constitution established us as a "Christian nation," McCain said, "I would probably have to say yes, that the Constitution established the United States of America as a Christian nation."

If you would like to see the complete interview go to. beliefnet.com. With that simple statement, Abe Foxman of the anti-Christian Anti-Defamation League immediately demanded an apology from McCain. To his credit, McCain has not yet apologized.

The question we must ask is, if the efforts of groups like the Anti-Defamation League or the National Jewish Council succeed will Christians eventually be denied to hold public office?
Now don’t be mistaken into thinking that I am endorsing either of these men. In my opinion they are wrong on most of the issues which are facing this nation.

I am supporting Ron Paul. Is Ron Paul a White Nationalist? Not that I know of and this is not to say that I might not disagree with some of his policies or comments. But I am a constitutionalist - that’s right - I said it. I am a constitutionalist and believe our government officials should follow the constitution. As a White Nationalist I don’t believe I or we need any special favors or programs. Unlike minorities who demand entitlements based upon the color of their skin, I and other white nationalists I know, simply want the faithful adherence to the Constitution. In other words, we want the federal government out of our lives. In the words of Thomas Paine, "Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one."

A Constitutional Republic under the principles of our Christian faith established America as a world power and will be a blessing to all who live here.

Bill of Rights Approved

The Bill of Rights are the first ten amendments to the United States Constitution. They were introduced as a series of amendments in 1789 in the 1st Congress by James Madison. Ten of the amendments were ratified and became the Bill of Rights in 1791. Among the enumerated rights these amendments guarantee are: the freedoms of speech, press, and religion; the people's right to keep and bear arms; the freedom of assembly; the freedom to petition; and the rights to be free of unreasonable search and seizure; cruel and unusual punishment; and compelled self-incrimination.

Shown above is James Madison, the "Father" of Constitution and first author of the Bill of Rights.

Bill of Rights also restricts Congress' power by prohibiting it from making any law respecting establishment of religion and by prohibiting the federal government from depriving any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law. In criminal cases, it requires indictment by grand jury for any capital or "infamous crime," guarantees a speedy public trial with an impartial and local jury, and prohibits double jeopardy. In addition, the Bill of Rights states that "the enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people," and reserves all powers not granted to the Federal government to the citizenry or States.

It is interesting that some of the founding fathers objected to the ratification of the Bill of Rights. The most notable example is Alexander Hamilton. Hamilton’s concern was that the establishment of the Bill of Rights was not only unnecessary but would be dangerous to the liberties of the people.

According to Hamilton and others, the ratification of the Constitution did not deprive the citizen of any rights which were looked upon as natural or God-given rights. In as much as the constitution did not deprive rights then it was understood that these rights were retained by the people.

Writing in Federalist 84, Hamilton claimed that by enumerating certain rights which the people retained, it would imply that other rights were not protected. It would be like making a list of all the people which has helped you over the years - you would most likely overlook some and forget to name them.

Hamilton and others were contending, "Look if you make of list of the rights retained by the people it would be an invitation to deprive people of certain rights not listed."

It was for this reason that the 9th amendment was included which state, "the enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people," In other words, "Just because we didn’t list them doesn’t mean the people don’t have them."

Yesterday we recording our weekly internet TV show and it is up on the internet now.

George Washington Dies 1799

It was on this day that George Washington, the first president of the United States at age 67 died (1789-97), at Mount Vernon VA.

George Washington (February 22, 1732 – December 14, 1799) was a central and critical figure in the founding of the United States, as well as the nation's first president. Before becoming one of the major founding fathers of the nation, as well as president, Washington led the Continental Army to victory over Great Britain in the American Revolutionary War.

Washington was seen as symbolizing the new nation and republicanism in practice. His devotion to civic virtue made him an exemplary figure among early American politicians. During Washington's funeral oration, Henry Lee (father of Robert E. Lee) said that of all Americans, he was "first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen."

----------------------------

Occasionally we hear non-Christian White Nationalists make the claim that Christianity and subsequent religious wars in Europe have been responsible for the deaths of millions of our white brothers and sisters. While there may be some validity to the claim, the fact is that wars have often been fought for other reasons too. And religion is just used as an excuse. For example, wars have been waged over oil, water, business interests, land, lust, adultery, assassinations, navigation rights, drugs, border disputes, taxes, the desire to get slaves, money or for a king to maintain his power.

The fact is that it is sin and not Christianity which has been the cause of war. But in every war there is an aggressor and there is the defender. So we can't get to self-righteous in our condemnation of war. If some one breaks into your home and starts a war against you and your family, your defense and protection of your family is justified. It makes your cause Holy and righteous.

To blame Christianity for spilling the blood of our White brothers and sisters in Europe is presented as an implication that if it wasn't for Christianity all white people would live in peace and harmony.

But there was war between white people long before Christianity. For example: The Trojan wars between Troy and Sparta, the Punic Wars between Carthage and Rome, the Peloponnesian War between Athens and the Peloponnesian League lead by Sparta, the Gallic Wars between Rome and the Gauls and the war against Greece by the Gauls.

The Gallic Wars were especially devastating to Europe as the Romans killed 1 out of every 4 Gauls.

All this occurred before Christianity. No wonder as Christ came to deliver his message to the sons and daughters of Israel (Europeans, the white race) he told them to love each other.

Christianity did not divide the children of Europe, but united them under a common faith and a common cause.
