On this date, February 21, 1965, Malcolm X
is assassinated while giving a talk at the Audubon
Ballroom in Harlem. In memory of him, let us post one of his quotes
when he warned people to be careful of what the mainstream media says, as they lie
most of the time.
“The media’s the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that’s power. Because they control the minds of the masses. The press is so powerful in its image-making role, it can make the criminal look like he’s the victim and make the victim look like he’s the criminal. This is the press, an irresponsible press. It will make the criminal look like he’s the victim and make the victim look like he’s the criminal. If you aren’t careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”
Speculation
about the assassination and whether it was conceived or aided by leading or
additional members of the Nation, or by law enforcement agencies, has persisted
for decades after the shooting. The assassination was one of four major
assassinations of the 1960s in the United States, coming two
years after the assassination of John F. Kennedy
in 1963, and three years before the assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy in 1968.

For in this case a prince and lord must remember that according to
Romans 13 [:4] he is God’s minister and the servant of his wrath and that the sword
has been given him to use against such people. If he does not fulfil the duties
of his office by punishing some and protecting others, he commits as great a
sin before God as when someone who has not been given the sword commits
murder. If he is able to punish and does not do it—even though he would have
had to kill someone or shed blood—he becomes guilty of all the murder and evil
that these people commit. For by deliberately disregarding God’s command he
permits such rascals to go about their wicked business, even though he was able
to prevent it and it was his duty to do so. This is not a time to sleep. And
there is no place for patience or mercy. This is the time of the sword, not the
day of grace.

13. We will put the Chapter of Romans 13 on the KJV and ESV Bible.
But Samuel said, “As your sword has made women childless, so shall your
mother be childless among women.” And Samuel
13 Let
every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God:
the powers that be are ordained of God.
2 Whosoever therefore
resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall
receive to themselves damnation.
3 For rulers are not a
terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the
power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:
4 For he is the minister
of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he
beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to
execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.
5 Wherefore ye must needs
be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.
6 For for this cause pay
ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this
very thing.
7 Render therefore to all
their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom
fear; honour to whom honour.
8 Owe no man any thing,
but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
9 For this, Thou shalt
not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not
bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other
commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love
thy neighbour as thyself.
10 Love worketh no ill to
his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
11 And that, knowing the
time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation
nearer than when we believed.
12 The night is far spent,
the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us
put on the armour of light.
13 Let us walk honestly,
as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and
wantonness, not in strife and envying.
14 But put ye on the Lord
Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
John
Calvin commentary on Romans 13 verse 4:For he is
God’s minister for good, etc. Magistrates
may hence learn what their vocation is, for they are not to rule for their own
interest, but for the public good; nor are they endued with unbridled power,
but what is restricted to the wellbeing of their subjects; in short, they are
responsible to God and to men in the exercise of their power. For as they are
deputed by God and do his business, they must give an account to him: and then
the ministration which God has committed to them has a regard to the subjects,
they are therefore debtors also to them. And private men are reminded, that it
is through the divine goodness that they are defended by the sword of princes
against injuries done by the wicked.
For
they bear not the sword in vain, etc. It is another
part of the office of magistrates, that they ought forcibly to repress the
waywardness of evil men, who do not willingly suffer themselves to be governed
by laws, and to inflict such punishment on their offenses as God’s judgment
requires; for he expressly declares, that they are armed with the sword, not
for an empty show, but that they may smite evil-doers.
And
then he says, An avenger, to execute wrath, “a revenger to execute wrath,”
Com. Ver., Doddridge; “a revenger for wrath,” Hammond. Wrath is here taken to
mean punishment, by Luther, Beza, Grotius, Mede, etc. see Romans 2:5; Romans 3:5; Romans 4:15. The phrase then might be rendered,
“condemning to punishment the doer of evil.” There is a contrast between “for
wrath” and “for good” at the beginning of the verse. — This is the same as if
it had been said, that he is an executioner of God’s wrath; and this he shows
himself to be by having the sword, which the Lord has delivered into his hand.
This is a remarkable passage for the purpose of proving the right of the sword;
for if the Lord, by arming the magistrate, has also committed to him the use of
the sword, whenever he visits the guilty with death, by executing God’s
vengeance, he obeys his commands. Contend then do they with God who think it
unlawful to shed the blood of wicked men.
13 Let every person be
subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from
God, and those that exist have been instituted by God.2 Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists
what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment.3 For rulers are not a
terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in
authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval,4 for he is God's
servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the
sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's
wrath on the wrongdoer.5 Therefore one must be in subjection, not only to
avoid God's wrath but also for the sake of conscience.6 For because of this you also
pay taxes, for the authorities are ministers of God, attending to this very
thing.7 Pay
to all what is owed to them: taxes to whom taxes are owed, revenue to whom
revenue is owed, respect to whom respect is owed, honor to whom honor is owed.
Fulfilling the Law Through Love
8 Owe no
one anything, except to love each other, for the one who loves another has
fulfilled the law.9 For the commandments,
“You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You
shall not covet,” and any other commandment, are summed up in this word: “You
shall love your neighbor as yourself.”10 Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love
is the fulfilling of the law.
11 Besides this you know
the time, that the hour has come for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is
nearer to us now than when we first believed.12 The night is far gone; the day is at hand. So
then let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light.13 Let us walk properly
as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and
sensuality, not in quarreling and jealousy.14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no
provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.
What does Paul
say in Romans 13 about government, really? How does that apply to American politics
and emergencies. The lie that all government is ordained by God is answered
plainly and directly. God is righteous and ordained righteous government to
enforce His justice by defending the people and their divinely established
unalienable rights. Don't fall for the lies of paid off, sold out FEMA

Christianity produces a system of laws and justice that puts a high
premium on both personal moral responsibility and the sanctity of human life.
For this reason, the punishment of murderers has been taken with great
seriousness. Those who take a human life with premeditation were understood to
forfeit their own. - R. Albert Mohler Jr.
