THE IDENTITY OF “THEY“?
Almost everyone talks about “they.”
“THEY are feeding us poisons and laughing at us!”
“THEY are turning the children against the parents!”
“THEY aren’t fixing the roads anymore!”
HOWEVER, seldom does anyone specify who “they” are.
In fact, a question which supposedly invalidates the complaints of those who refer to “they” is the question, “Who is they?”
While this question does cause most to stop and think, a few have taken a stab at who “they” are.
Some offer the government as “they.”
Others insist that “big companies” or “big business” is “they.”
Still others claim that this or that group (Muslims, Freemasons, liberal politicians, etc.) constitute “they.”
THEY are the people who fabricated the pretexts to the Vietnam War and the Iraq War.
THEY are the people who spy on us illegally and call the whistleblowers who expose their crimes traitors.
THEY denied they were spying on us for years despite evidence to the contrary and at the same time they were building a vast, illegal technological prison around us.
THEY are the ones who commit war crimes with impunity and jail those who reveal their murders.
While the author of the linked piece is specific, he doesn’t identify who “they” are so much as he identifies policies and activities with which he disagrees.
SO, is “they” to remain unspecified and unidentified?
Here’s a thought: whenever the reader hears someone use the unspecified “they,” substitute the phrase “the world” and the complaint will make more sense.
Identifying “they” will NOT make the various complaints attributed to “they” go away.
IF the reader is one of the few who believes the Bible, it will explain WHY that activity is taking place and WHY the activity will likely get worse, not better.
IF the reader is a non-believer, then he will still be at a loss for, not only who “they” are but, why those things he is complaining about are happening.
“THEY” is the the world–and the world is one third of mankind’s enemies (along with Satan and the flesh).
TEAM EVIL: The Devil, The Flesh and The World
“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.”
–1JOHN 2:15-16
“Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.”
–James 4:4
DOES the reader ever refer to OR hear of “they“?
HAS the reader ever wondered about the identity of “they“?
It is not YET too late: there is still time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST
“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
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
