Ode of Broken Promises A generation fades from the scene, and the English-speaking nations repeat the mistakes of the past -- in a nuclear age! By: Robert Morley / The Trumpet.com / November 12, 2013 "Does this mostly forgotten verse evoke any memories? 'They went with songs to the battle, they were young. Straight of limb, true of eyes, steady and aglow. They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted; They fell with their faces to the foe. They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them.' "There was a time when most English-speaking people, especially in the British Commonwealth, would recognize this in a heartbeat. But today, few do; even fewer people are aware of the outpouring of national emotion that accompanied the poem's first publication in September as tens of thousands of Allied soldiers died defending Paris during the Battle of the Marne. "In, Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Canada and other parts of the Commonwealth, the poem is read on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month 1

2 each year. Oftentimes, 'lest we forget' is added to the last verse, followed by repeating 'we will remember them.' Throughout the Commonwealth, November 11 is known as Remembrance Day. In the United States, November 11 is called Veterans Day. "The poem 'Ode of Remembrance' was used to commemorate the first 'war to end all wars.' Then came the second, greater war. It is still read today in many national ceremonies, but its oft-unrecognized prose is testament to the fact that we as a people are forgetting again. "Three years ago, Charles Donald Albury, copilot of the plane that ended World War II by dropping the atomic bomb on Nagasaki, died. He was 88. Those who knew why we dropped the bomb are also fading from the scene. "Time has now taken more witnesses than the bullets and bombs. Who in the Anglo-American nations now gives testament to the horror of war and the evil that mankind are capable of inflicting on each other? "Who will stand down politically correct revisionists and radical historians who are mutilating our national sense of history and identity? "And who, then, will there be to stand to remind us that evil must always be confronted? "Sadly, historical ignorance is reflected at the highest levels. "The English-speaking people's disregard for history will come back to bite them -- just like it always has. "Herein lies the great lesson we must draw from the example of ancient Israel. If we neglect our history and turn from God, then we will never prosper." "History -- and biblical prophecy -- says world war is coming again. The difference this time is that it will be nuclear."

Think about it: here in our Western World there was once a time when our schools and colleges taught our children and youth the true origin of our earthly home, the Nature and Fall of Man, the Sacrifice of Christ to restore us, and of a Heavenly world to come.

6 Ode of Broken Promises - thetrumpet.com 1 of 3 11/16/2015 6:03 PM thetrumpet.com Does this mostly forgotten verse evoke any memories? They went with songs to the battle, they were young. Straight of limb, true of eyes, steady and aglow. They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted; They fell with their faces to the foe. They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them. There was a time when most English-speaking people, especially in the British Commonwealth, would recognize this in a heartbeat. But today, few do; even fewer people are aware of the outpouring of national emotion that accompanied the poem s first publication in September 1914 as tens of thousands of Allied soldiers died defending Paris during the Battle of the Marne. In, Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Canada and other parts of the Commonwealth, the poem is read on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month each year. Oftentimes, lest we forget is added to the last verse, followed by repeating we will remember them. Throughout the Commonwealth, November 11 is known as Remembrance Day. In the United States, November 11 is called Veterans Day. The poem Ode of Remembrance was used to commemorate the first war to end all wars. Then came the second, greater war. It is still read today in many national ceremonies, but its oft-unrecognized prose is testament to the fact that we as a people are forgetting again. On Feb. 4, 2012, Florence Green, Great Britain s last soldier witness to that great and unnecessary war, died. He was 110. Australia s last World War i veteran died in Canada s in New Zealand s last survivor died in South Africa s have all died. The United States last soldier, Frank Woodruff Buckles, died last year at 108. Of the 65 million who fought, all now are dead. That whole generation has almost completely vanished. Only memories are left or are they? Those of the World War ii generation are fast disappearing too. Three years ago, Charles Donald Albury, copilot of the plane that ended World War ii by dropping the atomic bomb on Nagasaki, died. He was 88. The pilot, Maj. Charles Sweeney, died in Brig. Gen. Paul Tibbets Jr., commander and pilot of the Enola Gay, died in 2007, his copilot in Those who knew why we dropped the bomb are also fading from the scene. Time has now taken more witnesses than the bullets and bombs. Who in the Anglo-American nations now gives testament to the horror of war and the evil that mankind are capable of inflicting on each other? Who is left to tell of the many acts of providence small and large that protected and sustained our nations during that time of great need? Who will stand down politically correct revisionists and radical historians who are mutilating our national sense of history and identity? And who, then, will there be to stand to remind us that evil must always be confronted? On April 5 of 2009, President Barack Obama essentially apologized to Japan for using atomic bombs. The Wall Street Journal said that Obama s Prague speech came close to a mea culpa for America s use of atomic bombs against Japan. Yes, it was terrible that 200,000 Japanese died from the explosion and subsequent radiation exposure. But Mr. Obama evidently doesn t know that at the time the bombs were dropped, the U.S. Army was preparing for 500,000 U.S. casualties in a land invasion that would have cost literally millions of lives, including Japanese soldiers and Japanese civilians, many of whom were prepared to fight to the death.

7 Ode of Broken Promises - thetrumpet.com 2 of 3 11/16/2015 6:03 PM Mr. Obama has evidently forgotten the Bataan death march, the rape of Nanking, and the Japanese death camps. Mr. Albury knew why the bomb was dropped. And he pulled no punches. In 1982, he told the Miami Herald that he deplored war, but he would readily do what he did again. He said dropping the bomb prevented what was certain to be a vastly greater loss of life on both sides in an Allied invasion of Japan. But Japan isn t the only World War ii theater to grow foggy in the mists of time. Exactly two months later, the highest office-holder in the U.S. visited Dresden, Germany, on June 5. By visiting the city of Dresden immediately after making a pilgrimage to the Buchenwald concentration camp, President Obama essentially apologized to Germany for America s supposed sins during the war. Dresden was the German manufacturing center that Allied bombers leveled during World War ii. Today the bombing is a rallying point for neo-nazis and revisionist historians who claim that the U.S. and Britain should be prosecuted for war crimes for unnecessary deaths that occurred there. By choosing to visit Dresden of all German cities on the same day as he visited the starvation stockades where tens of thousands of people were systematically exterminated, Mr. Obama specifically equated two entirely disparate events as if they were somehow on the same level. The Wall Street Journal called the visit an unfortunate gesture that suggested a sort of moral equivalence between industrialized genocide and the bombings of German cities bombings, remember, that were designed to bring an end to the genocidal regime (emphasis added). In truth, America and Britain bombing an industrial center in time of war and Germany ethnically cleansing a defenseless population have nothing in common. A big reason these presidential apologies are so dangerous is that they destroy the rationale necessary to condemn what these nations have done in the past, and it limits our ability to warn them about repeating those things again in the future. Sadly, historical ignorance is reflected at the highest levels. Three years ago on June 6, the leaders of France, Canada, the UK and the U.S. descended on Normandy to commemorate the 65th anniversary of D-Day, the Allied invasion of Hitler s Europe. Gordon Brown, Stephen Harper, Nicolas Sarkozy and Barack Obama were not even born during World War ii, yet somehow they were the stars of the show. Meanwhile, Queen Elizabeth ii, the one head of state who was actually a survivor and veteran of World War ii, was not even invited! What does that say about our leaders today? (Read Brad Macdonald s column Britain s Forgotten Veteran for the full significance of this event.) Back in the States, the National D-Day Memorial, located in Bedford, Virginia, is on the brink of financial ruin. Not enough visitors go there, and administrators do not have enough money to keep it up. America doesn t even have a national World War i monument. But who cares about history these days? Little value is placed upon teaching it to our children. A whopping 71 percent of high school and university students failed a recent general test of history and political and economic institutions conducted by the Intercollegiate Studies Institute. College graduates scored an average of 57 percent. The English-speaking people s disregard for history will come back to bite them just like it always has. In ancient Israel, God warned the people to not forget their history (Deuteronomy 4:9), but they did with disastrous consequences. The record of history was to be a continuous reminder of their heritage, that God was the source of all their national blessings. That God was their provider and protector. And that God was to be their leader. Thus, armed with the knowledge of their history, and stirred with the vision of prophecy as outlined by the prophets, Israel could have been perpetually secure in the knowledge of where it fit into unfolding events over time. But ancient Israel did not remember the past, and consequently could not foresee the future. Once the elders died,

8 Ode of Broken Promises - thetrumpet.com 3 of 3 11/16/2015 6:03 PM the people of Israel would forget their history and turn away from God and to the traditions of the peoples around them. Consequently, God would remove His blessings and send the nation into captivity until its people cried out to Him in repentance. Herein lies the great lesson we must draw from the example of ancient Israel. If we neglect our history and turn from God, then we will never prosper. As in the days of ancient Israel, war will result. The American empire, like its aging veterans, is losing its strength fast. Britain is already a third-rate power. Other nations are rising. New powers are on the scene and are increasingly asserting their power. Nuclear proliferation is rampant. The English-speaking peoples have forgotten their history. We are forgetting the reason so many soldiers gave their lives. But more importantly, we are forgetting why those soldiers were forced to give their lives in the first place. We have forgotten where our blessings came from. And we have forgotten who really saved us during World Wars i and ii. Ode to Remembrance is but a broken promise. History and biblical prophecy says world war is coming again. The difference this time is that it will be nuclear.

9 IBE Communicator PO Box 352 Jemison AL USA ThePerfectStormIsComing.org (205) October - (A) Down, Down, Down... Gravity s working so well, things are grave... Slowly, slowly, slowly, the world changed; so slowly, in fact, that Western society has almost completely sunk back into the kind of behavior that was more common in Greek and early Roman culture with few people noticing. Think about it: here in our Western World there was once a time when our schools and colleges taught our children and youth the true origin of our earthly home, the Nature and Fall of Man, the Sacrifice of Christ to restore us, and of a Heavenly world to come. Marriage was taught to be a Holy Communion between one man and one woman. Our public educational institutions are now required by law to teach Evolution Theory to our children. County clerks, in a growing list of counties, are required by law to provide marriage licenses to same-sex couples wishing to be married. Initially it may seem to be a step up the intellectual ladder to embrace, or to at least consider, other ideas of origins, and other ideas of matrimony. But for the honest Christian, these are steps down the ladder of morality.

Name Address City State Zip Phone q Cell q Home q Work that will strengthen the resolve to stand for what is right, we will offer you, in a few short sentences from just one of our books Health and Happiness, a handful of thoughts designed to elevate the humanity of man. First: Creation The things of nature that we now behold give us a faint conception of Eden s glory Nature testifies that One infinite in power, great in goodness, mercy, and love, created the earth, and filled it with life and gladness. Even in their blighted state all things reveal the handiwork of the great Master Artist. Wherever we turn, we may hear the voice of God, and see evidences of His goodness. Pages God s handiwork in nature is not God Himself in nature while nature is an expression of God s thought, it is not nature, but the God of nature, that is to be exalted. Page 289 Through perverted educational processes he [Satan] is doing his utmost to obscure heaven s light. Philosophical speculation and scientific research in which God is not acknowledged are making skeptics of thousands [in our schools today]. Page 313 The work which the church might have done in a time of ease and prosperity, she will be forced to do under the most forbidding circumstances.

Second: Marriage No work entrusted to human beings involves greater or more farreaching results than does the work of fathers and mothers. Page 243 He Who gave Eve to Adam as a helpmeet, performed His first miracle at a marriage festival. In the festal hall where friends and kindred rejoiced together, Christ began His public ministry. Thus He sanctioned marriage, recognizing it as an institution that He Himself had established. He ordained that men and women should be united in Holy wedlock, to rear families whose members, crowned with honor, should be recognized as members of the family above. Page 247 Let a young woman accept as a life companion only one who possesses pure, manly traits of character, one who is diligent, aspiring, and honest, one who loves and fears God. Let a young man seek one to stand by his side who is fitted to bear her share of life s burdens, one whose influence will ennoble and refine him, and who will make him happy in her love. Page 249 In this series of steps down the entire Creation Week of events comes the next institution in line: that of the seventh-day Sabbath ordained at the end of the Creation week. Make no mistake, the enemy of souls has not forgotten that our Creator has a Day in the week acknowledging His right to create and to marry.
