Does God favor the anglo-saxon whites as defenders of Christendom, reason, civilization, the scientific method, “motherhood and apple pie”?

As stated elsewhere, as a young man I spent some considerable time in an “Old Testament” Christian church. Some of their literature and ideas had been adopted from the British-Israel Society (BIS) which preached that the anglo-saxons were a “covenant people” destined to enjoy special protection from God.

One booklet from the BIS was entitled “We Have A Guardian.” Therein, various claims were made concerning miraculous intervention during recent wars allowing the “covenant” armies to defeat enemies. One of these accounts, as I recall, spoke of a luminescent angelic being, on a horse, brandishing flaming sword, as it rescued British troops during a WWI fire-fight. (We hesitate to ask, however, where was the "flaming angel," the guardian, for the other nearly one million British soldiers killed during the war?)

This intrigued me. Could this really have happened? What might the evidence be? Almost 50 years ago, I sent a letter to the headquarters of the BIS, requesting confirmation concerning the alleged angel-on-a-horse. While quite aged, there would still be many survivors of “The Great War,” I thought, and, surely, given the prominence of this story in BIS literature, there must be those, still with us, who either experienced this spectacular event or, at very least, knew of those who had.

Some time later, I received an official reply. Those at the BIS hq had made enquiries, but no one knew anything about this; neither eye-witnesses nor second-hand accounts could be garnered. I thought this to be very strange given the salient billing in BIS literature of this purportedly “miraculous” account.

Editor’s note: In other words, it’s very likely that none this angel-on-a-horse affair ever happened. There’s no corroboration anywhere, even among those who claim the story as their own.

But, getting back to the original question: Does God favor the anglo-saxon whites as defenders of civilization, Christendom, and all the rest?

For a long time, I believed this had to be the case. Most people believe their own culture and society to be “the best” and next-to-God in importance. We create God in our own image, as discussed in other writings.

Is the “will and plan” of God furthered by the policies, governments, and way of life of the anglo-saxons? As a younger man, I entertained this prejudice. Was it inevitable that “the West” should surmount Nazi Germany? Were we destined to win that mega-conflict because of pivotal role of anglo-saxon civilization in the furtherance of godly principles? Is that what we do today?

Could we slip into another time, hundreds of years, of totalitarian Dark Age? - it's not as if this hasn't happened before to the West. Not only have we, ourselves, today, become a force in the world for totalitarian oppression, as we support and elect the Orwellian big sloppy grins who rule over us at the Ministry Of Truth, but we have killed millions of innocent babies in our pursuit of wanton hedonism. Shall God invariably elevate and protect a society such as this?

Editor's note: see the reports from the other side concerning what happens to those who kill their own babies. 

Can we expect, or deserve, the long-shot fortuitous outcome presenting itself in the Battle Of Midway? or the sudden favorable clement weather for the Channel crossing on D-Day? Will God rescue us in another ninth-inning “miraculous” intervention? – because we’re so important, so vital now, to God's work, because we live so close to his ways, he just can't do without our moral influence in the world, we're so far above that of other peoples? I have my severe doubts.

I look at history and, indeed, all the evidence offered on the Word Gems site, and what I see is this: God does not swoop in like Superman to save us from our own stupidity and evil. How could we learn to eschew evil if that were done? Every civilization of history eventually falls. God deals with humankind on a laissez-faire basis: we write our own tests and we grade them ourselves. 

There are no free-passes to any nation, race, or culture. There are no free get-out-of-jail cards for those of any religion, political party, belief-system, or corporate cabal. Every individual will pay, must give an accounting, in strict justice, as Jesus used the phrase, for “every last penny’s worth” of malfeasance committed.

And who keeps track of the infractions? We ourselves do; it's all indelibly written -- every thought, word, motive, and deed -- upon our spirits like a video tape-recording.

We must "make good on the debt" - but, to whom? not to some vengeful mythical "sky-god" who, as Father Benson instructs, has no mercy to offer - because God, the real God, has never been offended by what we do. Then, to whom must the "debt" be paid? - to ourselves, our higher "made in the image" selves, which we've defrauded by denying manifestation of all that we ought to have become.

There are many oppressed and downtrodden minorities in the world; many have been brutalized. However, strange to note, none of them are so heavily or noticeably represented in Summerland's "ruling class" of Spirit Guides. Why is that?

While some of the Reds tormented and enslaved their own brethren, all this acknowledged, if God allowed the many peaceful Red tribes, the spiritually-minded, those in communion with the afterlife, those who lived their lives in the reality of the Great Spirit and with a knowledge of the meaning of death – if God allowed these “innocent lambs” to be slaughtered upon the altar of this world's dire lessons to be learned; slaughtered, some of the tribes, to near-extermination by "civilized" ones; slaughtered, despite their spirituality, their emulation of the Divine nature, far more closely than those of us in "the West"; then – it can happen to any society. Yes, there is good reason why so many of the college of Spirit Guides draw from the ranks of our Red brothers and sisters. And so it came to be, as their prayer (above) foretold, they entered the afterlife with "straight eyes" and "without shame."

In time, we will witness the reality of this assessment, the honor known to our Red brothers and sisters; each of us is but one missed heartbeat away, ready or not, from the "real world".

Editor’s note: When I was seven years old, I found a perfectly-chiseled flint arrowhead near the old chicken-coop on our farm. So shrewdly, I sold this valuable indigenous artifact, I still vividly recall, sold it to a school chum, Gerald, for fifty cents. I suspect my Spirit Guide, “Big Water,” as I’ve been informed of his name, smiled indulgently at his puerile charge during this fatuous transaction. In the poetic justice of life, I wouldn’t be surprised if his people, long ago, crafted that arrowhead.
