“The Bible is for the Government of the People, by the People, and for the People.”
- John Wycliffe
Americans are familiar with the closing words of Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, “that the government of the people, by the people, and for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”
What many Americans don’t know is that these words are not Lincoln’s own, but he was quoting John Wycliffe from the prologue of his English translation of the Bible.
Wycliffe, often called the Morningstar of the Reformation, lived and wrote at a time when the Roman Catholic Church and the nobility allied with Rome considered it subversive to translate the Scriptures into the common language of the people. Rome and its royalist supporters believed in a government of the elite, by the elite, and for the elite and ruthlessly enforced this teaching. One of the ways of enforcing their tyranny was to keep the people ignorant of the Bible, feeding them instead on a diet of doctrinal fables dispensed by the Church of Rome.
But keeping up the ruse took a lot of effort. Access to the Word of God had to be forbidden. For if people learned what the Bible actually taught and compared it to what Rome said the Bible taught, Rome’s lies would be exposed and her government of the elite, by the elite, and for the elite would be in danger of overthrow.

Hi Steve, don’t forget it was Donald Trump who signed three executive orders in March 2020 which started all of the covid tyranny. He is not for liberty, in our opinion, but is just another globalist. He was a life-long Democrat until he decided to run for president. He is pro-abortion, pro-LBGT and called all of us non-elites, non-essential. He also did the “warp-speed” travesty with the shots. We see him in a very different light and do not consider him to be for freedom, our Constitution, nor for biblical Christianity. He is not a godly or wise man by any means.
Trump’s not a perfect guy, and it isn’t my aim to defend everything he has said or done. But he is right about some very important issues and he’s the one guy who terrifies the globalists who are destroying this nation. IMO, he’s the one candidate who may be able to bring them to justice.
But Steve, do you remember what he said he’d do with H. Clinton if he were elected? The globalists aren’t afraid of him, his is one of their puppets. He and Biden are two bookends, playing each ‘side’ to get to the same totalitarian middle. He may say some right things, like he did before he was elected, but he doesn’t honor his word. He is a very ungodly man and has proven himself to be an enemy of our Constitution, not a defender of it. He issued the first unconstitutional executive order against the 2nd amendment. One of his attorneys when he was president said of him that he is a “deeply wounded narcissist” and “incapable of acting other than in his perceived self-interest or for revenge”. I do not understand why Christian people wish to defend and promote this wicked man. His character is no better than Joe Biden. Trump’s wife is out there openly promoting sexual deviancy to help him get elected, And she is Roman Catholic.
I don’t agree that Biden and Trump are both equally dupes of the globalists. If they were, they why would they be trying to throw Trump in jail forever on more bogus charges while the obvious corruption of Joe Biden is swept under the rug? if Trump and Biden are working for the same team, why was the election rigged for Biden and against Trump in 2020? Trump is a flawed individual, and his flaws are not hard to find. But he has gotten some very important big picture items right. He’s against endless foreign wars and was successful in not starting any new ones during his term in office. I suspect the main reason he was removed from office by the deep state was his desire to normalize relations with Russia. He is against flooding our nation with millions of illegal aliens and had some substantial success in stopping the influx despite massive opposition. Donald Trump is against liberty destroying agreements such as the Paris Climate Accord. Donald Trump pushed back on the Pope when Antichrist tried to lecture him about immigration. Yes, his wife is a Catholic, but I’ve never seen any American politician tell the Pope to get lost. That’s not a small thing.
And he’s also a serial-adulterer.
They’re doing all of this with Trump to get his base worked up, and because they’re all like the mob, in the same business but at each others’ throats. It’s the age-old game of pitting one group against another. Anything he did that may have appeared “good” regarding immigration was a smoke screen. The wall he was supposed to build was a joke. He does a little here and there, always with loopholes so that things can be changed at a later date. Yes, he started no new wars, but he didn’t end the ones we were/are in. Why didn’t he pull out of Afghanistan when he was president? Telling Antichrist to get lost is because he’s such a narcissist that he cannot tolerate anyone telling him what to do (publicly). Regarding his present legal issues, what’s going on now is legitimate. He did commit crimes according to Andrew Napolitano and other legal minds who have read the indictment; even those who are his supporters. We know God’s judgment is on this wicked nation and he’s giving us the leaders we deserve, including Trump. I’m sorry to have to disagree with you so strenuously on this, because you are a brother in Christ, but for you to defend a man such as this is surprising to me. I won’t comment about this any more. 🙂
Fair enough. We’ll have to disagree. I do not agree that Trump’s record on immigration was a smokescreen. His administration had some tremendous wins in spite of nonstop opposition from every quarter. On the other hand, the Biden Regime is actively committing immigration treason by standing down and inviting millions of welfare migrants into this nation. But most importantly, Trump is the only candidate who is in a position to hold the election fraudsters from 2020 accountable. The rest of the GOP candidates would have us go on as if there nothing at all suspicious went on in 2020 and 2022. If the Democrats stole those elections and get away with it, they will steal every subsequent election as well, and that is the end of our republic. Trump, IMO, is the only one with the incentive to rooting these people out, both the Dems and the corrupt Republicans.
