ANTI-SMOKING: It Was About Control

cigarette smoking

“…and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.”
–Revelation 13:5,7

As the climax of human history approaches, one will notice one’s decisions will increasingly be made for him.

The mystery of iniquity works ceaselessly to control every facet of life.

It has to: lacking omniscience, it depends on control, human spying, electronic spying, onerous laws and regulations and, increasingly, the Internet.

But it ESPECIALLY depends on control.

Has the reader noticed this tightening?

Why walking within 30ft of a lit cigarette puts you at risk of dangerous passive smoking  – It was fairly obvious early on to some observers that smoking bans and such were–to most, not all–more about the control than it was about the smoking.

From reading the assorted comments of the non-elected leaders of the anti-smoking movement, one was never comforted that here was a group which would fold their tents and go home after their triumph over tobacco.

It was always about control: it was only incidentally about smoking.

Which is why the hotbed of the anti-smoking movement was first located in Nazi Germany.

It will only get worse.

DOES the reader feel like he has little control over his life?

There is still time to change direction (repent) and place one’s trust in Almighty God.

THE GOSPEL

“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
1 Corinthians 15:1-8

“But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:”
2 Corinthians 4:3
