THERE CAN BE NO QUESTION IN THE MIND OF THE STUDENT OR OBSERVER THAT THE TREND OUR NATION IS TAKING, that the policies being endorsed and ratified by the administrative power, the policies being pursued by advisors in many areas of portfolio of authority, some which have never been created by the people, that the trend is not the path our forefathers have taken in the past. It is not the course which made this nation great. In fact, we are at the crossroads tonight, in many areas of decision.

We find ourselves not unlike the declaration of the prophet Joel, who talks about multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision. Unfortunately, we have the parity of prophecy and of time. In fact, we are told that the road the great masses travel upon is not the route to security and development, or the attainment of God’s Kingdom. The road into which we find Christ referring to in the book of Matthew, states unto us very clearly. That broad is the gate, wide is this route to destruction. And he tells us that not many enter into the right gate. It says, ‘Enter ye in at the right (straight) gate; for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be who go in thereat. But straight (right) is the gate, and narrow is the way which leadeth unto life and few there be that find it.’ (Matthew 7:13-14)

WE TURN TO THE SUBJECT ‘WITH VIOLENCE SHALL BABYLON BE CAST DOWN. ‘REVELATION, CHAPTER 17 AND 18, contains so much in the content of God’s word concerning Great Babylon. We understand that great Babylon was at one time a great city. And we understand that Mystery Babylon the Great, was the enemy of Israel, this Kingdom of God. Babylon had a powerful and highly organized system of administration. It was a city that worshipped Baal, for the priesthood was involved in all the politics of Babylon, and had ruled over all the ancient world at one time in its history. And in the areas of its trade it gained control over the nations of the world. It established its vital power of usury and extended its authority into the ends of the earth. In fact, in all history, God looked upon Babylon as the most evil of all the most vital powers. So God declared its destruction, and Daniel, when a captive in that land, described how Medo-Persia would be the power to break down Great Babylon.

You can turn to the book of Jeremiah, and read: ‘the portion of Jacob is not like unto these brutish nations in their vanity and their work of error. HE is before all things, and Israel is the rod of HIS inheritance, the LORD of Hosts is HIS name.’

WE ARE TURNING IN OUR SUBJECT TO A DISCUSSION THAT IN OUR SOCIETY WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED YEARS AGO. And if suggested twenty years ago, would have made those listening, so say, ‘surely this must be madness.’ But now here in 1962, one week after Easter, we are discussing with you this fact. Will the Christian church here in these United States accept a government Czar over religion? You will say to me, ‘surely this is not possible. This could not have happened in these United States? There is no department of government with any authority over the church. Does not the Constitution of the United States say that the Congress of the United States not make any laws concerning the establishment of religion?’

There is nothing they can do concerning the freedom of the processes of religions activities to carry out their own design. All of these things may be true. And the freedom guaranteed by the Bill of Rights and by the Constitution that no authority is given to the Congress, in this area, to make laws concerning religion. But the Congress has not made any new laws concerning the establishment of Religion. Nor have they sought to stop the right of religions bodies to carry out their vision and to worship God after their own heart. No attempt has been made by Congress to do these things.

THERE IS NO DOUBT BUT THAT WE AS A PEOPLE ARE IN TROUBLE IN AMERICA TODAY. There is also no doubt that the areas we get into trouble as a people, and a race, are those areas where we have violated directly the laws of God. These are the laws which are the foundation of the establishment of laws of the Kingdom for Israel. These laws said that Israel was to be a separate people, they were not to dwell with strangers in their midst, for their own security. In fact the laws of God were very strict on this area, and when Israel observed these laws they were well off. Then when the great nations which descended out of the people of this Book violate these laws; then they are in trouble.

We are told that in the Latter Days many will depart from the Faith. We are told in Timothy that many not only will depart from the faith but that they will give heed to evil spirits and doctrines of devils. Thus the laws of God which have followed our people thru thousands of years are all set aside, and people believe in the doctrines of devils. I tell you that instead of trying to make one family out of all races, and instead of trying to make one world government over all people we should be strictly the strategy of Satanic design, against the great white nations of the western world. Against your culture, your civilization, and your background from whence you came. This white civilization is in great danger today only because of the attitude of leaders who have been seduced by a lie, and are seeking to spread the program of the world order, and have seduced people who are spreading this lie, and calling it the program of God. It is more important for you to be on the side of God, even though they call you a bigot as you stand for the Word of God than for you to accept the world order which is headed for destruction.

WE TURN THIS AFTERNOON TO THIS SUBJECT AS TO WHY WE ARE HERE. That may seem to be a strange subject, but those who are seeking to influence the minds of our youth and the college youth of our nation with the very objective, started a symposium a little over a year ago which has gone through a great number of Eastern Colleges. And they made it available to practically all of the students on the campus to participate in this symposium. And the physiologists and philosophers who were supposedly leading the staff, set this symposium into action both in New York and in Harvard University and other Eastern States. They said this is most essential for a proper foundation of philosophy and for social science and for an understanding of political philosophy. Thus they started this symposium as to ‘why we are here.’

Shortly after that several denominations of Christendom who had heard of this symposium, thought that they would add to this, the subject ‘Why we are here.’ And I heard about the content of the first symposium which was taught to bring about a social revolution which is being used today to rape your nation and your faith. I was equally disturbed by the fact that the churches had decided to put out a pamphlet to answer this ‘Why we were here.’ And then seemed to have such a little understanding of why they were here as well. In fact, while one was built with agnosticism, the other was built with the frustration of not knowing what it was all about anyhow. And it seemed to be the purpose of being here, was to keep everyone from being caught up in some terrible torture when they die. And that seems to be a rather silly objective anyhow. So one is almost as superstitiously sad as one was agnostically evil.

TONIGHT WE ARE CONSIDERING WHY THIS DISARMAMENT PROGRAM WILL NOT TAKE PLACE AND WHAT CIRCUMSTANCES PRESENT EVIDENCE THAT THIS CANNOT HAPPEN. We are well aware that the most important source of information for today is the revealed word of God. We are also aware that all the word of God is not altogether found in the one book which we possess. But the word of God is in this Book. We have in these compiled volumes, the word of the Prophets. And these men were men like you and I, but specially selected by God. And unveiled to their consciousness were these purposes. With each revelation and with each demonstration of personal manifestation, their knowledge increased. And they were told these things as to what to write in these records. They participated in the panorama of history which effected your race and their experiences. The things which the prophets recorded were the voices and revelations and experiences which God gave them, as well as the pictures which He passed before their consciousness. And they recorded these things.

I have often been asked by Clergy who have apparently been effected by the pseudo-theology that is taught in many places of today and these Clergy say: ‘Dr. Swift, do you really believe that the prophecies of the scriptures are true? Don’t you just believe this is something someone wrote and people accepted them?’

They seem quite amazed when I tell them I believe the prophecies of the scriptures. They say: ‘But how can you believe with your study of archaeology and anthropology and these other factors of modern science, in the supernatural pattern of the prophets?’
