The Deep State in the Time of Jesus Dr Rick Barr

The Civil War of 1860 was about race. Today's Civil War is about gender: the battle between Mother Chaos and God the Father. Long before Darwin, Marx, Freud, Machiavelli, and Saul Alinsky, Jesus figured out how to keep power. All people born of a mother are born in fear. No one needs to teach a baby how to cry and protest. In the "Deep State in the Time of Jesus" we see Jesus as a resistance fighter quietly dropped into enemy territory, driven by fear. He quickly chooses his leader Peter the Rock not only for his courage, but even more for his fear. Peter is so ordinary and common that if Peter understands Jesus, everyone will understand Jesus. At Pentecost, the Holy Spirit anoints Peter and his evil twin Simon the Coward. With perfect love that drives out fear, Peter is aware of Simon the Coward without being beholden to Simon the Coward. Peter finds access to God the Father through Jesus as the Lamb of God (for no one is afraid of a lamb). Unlike the Deep State that must manipulate people's fear, Jesus as Lamb of God absorbs people's fear. In Peter's first sermon, 3000 members of the Deep State entered the Father's Kingdom of Gratitude and "were cut to the heart." Acts 2:37
