Jack Hibbs : The Secret Deal with Satan That Changed America Forever
Welcome, dear readers. Today, we dive deep into the profound intersection where worldview, ideology, and spiritual reality collide. Our focus is on Karl Marx his legacy, his dark inspirations, and the spiritual consequences that have unfolded in nations that embraced his ideology. In contrast, we will also look at the lives of Christian leaders, such as D.L. Moody, and reflect on the differing fruits born from each worldview. As the social and political winds in America blow more fiercely, it’s never been more urgent for Christians to discern the roots and repercussions of the ideas shaping our world. Let’s lift the veil behind Marxism and expose the spiritual truth that has been hidden for far too long.
Karl Marx’s Dark Fascination: Origins and Influences
As we examine Marx, it becomes clear he was deeply preoccupied with themes far darker than mere economics or sociology. Born in Germany’s Rhineland to Jewish parents, Marx was baptized in a Lutheran church at a young age due to his father’s conversion, likely for social and professional reasons. For a short time in his youth, his writings reflected admiration for Jesus, expressing hope in Christ’s salvation. Tragically, those early glimpses of spiritual light soon faded.
By late adolescence, Marx’s father warned him in a haunting letter: “Your heart is obviously animated and governed by a demon not granted to all men. Is that demon heavenly or Faustian?” This reference is no accident; Faust, especially in the version by Goethe, represented a man who made a pact with the devil to gain pleasure, power, and knowledge. Unlike traditional tales, in Goethe’s story Faust is ultimately saved but in Marx’s world, dark fascination became an obsession. His poetry from this period expressed not only rebellion against God but a chilling embrace of hell and the demonic:
“Thus, heaven have I forfeited. I know full well my soul once true to God is chosen for hell.”
If you’ve read Scripture, these words echo Lucifer’s boast in Ezekiel 28 and Isaiah 14 the rising up against the Creator, the proud rebellion, and the self-imposed exile from God’s presence. Marx’s other poetry is loaded with references that conjure the abyss: “See the sword, the prince of darkness sold it to me.” The spirit behind these words cannot be mistaken by discerning Christians.
From Theory to Reality: Marxism’s Core Doctrines
Before he ever wrote the Communist Manifesto, Marx poured his soul not only into economic treatises but into poetry steeped in spiritual darkness. His declaration, in partnership with Engels, was blunt: “The entire sum of Marxism and socialism is that there should be no private property. All property belongs to the state.” In contradiction to God’s command “You shall not steal” Marxism celebrates the forceful taking and redistribution of property as its central organizing principle.
This is not merely the reshuffling of assets; it is the spiritual undermining of God-ordained order and personal accountability. In order to achieve this “brave new world,” Marx and Engels declared that wealth and property had to be seized by any means necessary. The revolution they championed was explicitly violent: the destruction of all prior structures on which a new, godless, and materialistic society would be built.
While Marx exploited real abuses of his time industrial mistreatment, poverty, and exploitation he never advocated reform. He called for utter devastation: abolish all freedoms, all family, all faith.
The Assault on Faith, Family, and Truth
For Marx and his followers, Christianity is not merely an outdated superstition, but an active enemy. Marx condemned religion as the “opium of the people,” a drug that lulled the oppressed into accepting their chains. Therefore, it had to be eradicated. Faith in God had to be replaced by faith in the state. Instead of praying to our Father for daily bread, people must look to the government.
But Marx did not stop there. The family, too, was an obstacle. Parents, especially religious ones, were labeled as oppressors. Children, once formed by the faith and love of their parents, should be taken by the state at the first opportunity. This principle remains alive in modern socialist thought the collective, not the parental family, becomes the primary unit.
And what of truth itself? In Marxist doctrine, objective, God-given truth does not exist. There are no eternal laws, no natural rights. Truth is whatever those in power declare it to be. “Truth” is socially constructed, molded to fit the needs of the revolution, not the timeless standards of God. This rejection of natural law is a direct attack on the biblical worldview, which sees God’s truth as written on the human heart.
The Practical Consequences: Albania and the Fruits of Communism
It’s one thing to discuss theory, but let’s look at real history. In Albania, Marxism was implemented with brutal thoroughness. Religious names were banned, Bibles confiscated, and believers persecuted. Churches and mosques were destroyed. Even funerals and weddings were stripped of spiritual meaning. The stated, official doctrine? “Our fight is constantly against God.”
The people of Albania lived under generations of spiritual and material poverty. To own a Bible was to risk death. Pastors, priests, and common believers alike were chained together and executed. Even after communism fell in 1991, the scars remain. The church has only recently begun to recover, but the devastation lingers in the nation’s soul and economy.
This is the real-world fruit of Marx’s philosophy. Under Marxist rule, poverty becomes equal, misery is distributed universally, and spiritual darkness prevails. The so-called “liberation” from God results in a state that claims to care for its people but ultimately only strips them of their freedom and hope.
