Because they LOSE FAITH in existing governments -- existing
SOCIETY -- existing SYSTEMS OF ECONOMICS AND BUSINESS.
Chambers explains how today's WORLD CRISIS resulted from
"the impact of science and technology upon mankind." Science and
technology came into the world representing themselves as a god --
to solve the world's ills. What Chambers does not mention is that
science and technology DROVE OUT GOD and THE BIBLE from education,
introduced godless evolution, started even the churches doubting
God -- doubting Christ was God's Son -- doubting God's TRUTH. But,
science and technology FAILED to solve the world's troubles.
Problems multiplied -- troubles escalated. This brought on WORLD
CRISIS.
WORLD WARS are the military expression of the crisis, says
Chambers. Worldwide depressions are its economic expression.
Universal desperation -- college students losing all hope for the
future -- is its spiritual expression. And This, he says, is the
climate of Communism.
Educated men see these conditions. They see we live in a
SICK WORLD! So, Chambers explains, "Philosophers have EXPLAINED
the world: it is necessary to CHANGE the world!" Communism is a
NEW FAITH! Many people have lost faith in this western world's
sick society. So they feel they must have a faith to LIVE BY.
They have a conviction, WE MUST CHANGE THE WORLD.
These people are blinded to any FAITH IN GOD. They are cut
off from God. God just doesn't exist IN THEIR THINKING. They see
no faith in "democracy," -- they see no NATIONAL PURPOSE in the
United States, they WANT TO HAVE A PART in CHANGING THE WORLD!
Actually, Communism is like plunging from the frying pan
into the fire. It is going from BAD to WORSE! But they see only
that the present state of things is BAD. Communism CLAIMS to be
able to CHANGE THE WORLD. They ASSUME the change will be GOOD. It
is a straw which they grasp!
Since Chambers wrote his book, 1952 -- 16 years ago --
world conditions have grown progressively WORSE! Now we have the
RACE hatreds, riots, and VIOLENCE; now morals have plummeted all
the way down into the cesspool; now, crime has increased
alarmingly, become rampant even in residence neighborhoods and
open country; college and university campuses in revolt, student
riots and VIOLENCE, education in CHAOS! Now it is unsafe to walk
on sidewalks in cities or in towns. Now if you are away overnight
your house or flat may be broken into -- MINE WAS RECENTLY! Now
SPACE exploration has progressed to where Russia may be able to
set up SPACE PLATFORMS, from which they could DESTROY ALL AMERICA
-- including YOUR HOME -- unless the United States would surrender.
Now, five or more means exist that could BLAST ALL LIFE --
including YOUR life -- out of existence!
Now what does this mean to US -- to YOU and me?
It means WE have been privileged by the Almighty God to
HAVE A PART IN NOT ONLY CHANGING -- BUT IN SAVING THE WORLD!
