Catholics know: since The Tower of Babel, the same tyrants do the same things to stay in power.
~
Question 1: “Does History repeat itself?”
Answer: “History records thousands of peoples who invented ways to overpower their neighbors. Those who invented weapons of stone overpowered neighbors who did not have them. Then, Stone Age people were killed or controlled by those with Bronze ‘Weapons of Control’. Then, those with iron weapons took over.”
~
Question 2: “How did rulers maintain power over their own people.”
Answer: “The first recorded ‘Internal Weapon of Control’ were ‘ mountains of dirt and stone’. The Tower of Babel was the first named ‘mountain’ of dirt and stone.”
Leaders had to keep people busy after they overpowered their neighbors. Making people build huge ‘mountains of dirt and stone’ kept people busy all over the world.
~
Question 3: “What ‘Internal Weapons of Control’ were used during and after simple ‘mounds of dirt’?
Answer: “More complicated stone pyramids, walls, and buildings kept millions of people enslaved by tyrants from China to Egypt to Mexico.”
~
Question 4: “Is that all there is to History, leaders and ‘man-made mountains’ of dirt and stone?”
Answer: “God got tired of watching people do the same things over and over and over. He took Human Form and came to earth in Fulfillment of Prophecies.”
~
Question 5: “What was His ‘Weapon of Control’?”
Answer: “He provided this Simple Truth: ‘If you obey Me, I will let your soul into Heaven.’”
~
Question 6: “Did that ‘Weapon of Control’ work?”
Answer: “It worked on those who wanted their immortal souls to spend eternity in Heaven.”
~
Question 7: “What did He say to get people under control?”
Answer: “He gave this simple command: ‘Love God and love your neighbor as yourself.’”
~
Question 8: “How does that method of ‘self-control’ work?”
Answer: “It guides all who obey Teachings of The Church He Spoke Into Being with His Word: ‘And I say unto you thou art Peter and on this rock I build My Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.’”
~
Question 9: “Why does that lead people to keep themselves ‘under control’?”
Answer: “The next sentence tells everyone what He only gives to obedient followers: ‘I give you the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven.’”
