IF I WERE THE DEVIL

In Paul Harvey’s famous broadcast, “IF I WERE THE DEVIL,” the hypothetical strategy of the Devil is discussed. In this updated script, the Devil would exploit political divisions, create a false savior figure, and ultimately deceive and dominate the world. This figure would be revered by Republicans, Christians, Jews, and the Right, leading to a global reign marked by deception, destruction, and the usurpation of power. If the Devil were to have a plan, this would be it.

“IF I WERE THE DEVIL”

This is Paul Harvey’s famous broadcast, “IF I WERE THE DEVIL”. I think the Devil paid attention… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnPE8u5ONls


Today, If I were the Devil, I would look back and learn from the Jesus Christ Story… I would raise up evil to a fevered pitch and blame it on Democrats, Leftists, Liberals, Communists, Jews, Arabs and Mohammad.

At the same time, I would lift up a savior on the Right… a man who would be seen as a hero by Republicans, Christians, Jews and the Rightwing arm of the American Eagle. I would see that while unlike Jesus, he would be fabulously wealthy, he would, like Jesus, be seen as a victim, a suffering servant. I would have him wrongly tried and convicted. Unable to raise the dead, I could not have him crucified, but shot in the ear… that, I could arrange.

This Messiah would be seen as a messiah by Israel… They would name towns, and railroad stations for this messiah. Their authors would call him “The King of Israel” and “The second coming of God”. They would hold elaborate ceremonies, crown him “King of Jerusalem” and give him a bejeweled crown worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. I would have Israel present him with a solid silver Menorah, and place a life-sized, gold-plated copy of the Ark of the Covenant in his house. I would have them identify him as “Messiah Ben Yosef”.

I would have him promise to protect the church, save Christians, save their nation, and maintain their cushy Babylonian lifestyle. I would surround him with Christian Patriots, and have artists produce hundreds of paintings of him as if he were Jesus Christ or God Almighty…

Soon, Christians and Jews, around the world, even the prime Minister of Hungary, would be speaking of him as “The Only Hope for the world”.

He would be opposed, violently, all the way to the election and the election itself would be a “cliff hanger”. He would win, and having won, with the help of both Jews and Christians, he would take absolute power over his nation, and then the world. He would cause the Temple to be built in Jerusalem, then he would sit in it and call himself God. He would deceive and destroy the Jews, and he would then make war against the saints and overcome them. He would be given authority to rule over every tribe, tongue, and nation….

If I were the Devil, that would be my plan…

David…
