Between 1939-1945 about 175 thousand church bells were confiscated across Europe by the Socialist Nazi Germany! They were confiscated and collected at a point in Hamburg Germany known as the Glockenfriedhofe or the bell cemetery. Some 150 thousand were delivered to foundries and melted down to make shell casings and armaments. Benito Mussolini dictator of Italy part of the Axis WWII powers forged an agreement with the Pope to provide church bells for him in the war effort which most were shipped to Germany for processing. Socialism will always turn the instruments of God into instruments of war! Socialism in history as of today has about a casualty rate of about 100 million people! Now America is going to try it? Today a Protestant Reverend living in Cologne Germany recently told the German Broadcasting Service, Deutsche Welle, “the silence of the bells makes it clear something has fallen apart.” Did you know there is a Bible verse on our Liberty Bell located in Philadelphia Pennsylvania? It is Leviticus 25:10; “Proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof.” As a child growing up in Nebraska on a farm back in the 1950’s on Sunday morning I used to hear those church bells ring across the communities of Nebraska! Some would ring at nine some ten and some at eleven o’clock! Grandma! Grandma do you hear the bells? Yes Jimmy we have to get ready for Sunday school! Jimmy why do the bells ring? Time for church grandma! Yes Jimmy but there is another reason? We all have clocks so why ring a bell? Grandma because some people cannot afford a clock they are too poor! Jimmy the ringing of the bells is proclaiming liberty across America! What is liberty grandma? Jimmy it means the sacrifice God has provided for us through his Son is acceptable to God for us on the Cross for our sin! Jesus paid our price for our wrongs or sin! That is what liberty is all about Jimmy! Forgiveness for our wrongs or sins against God and man! Bells are first mentioned in your Bible in Exodus 28:31-35. Aaron the High Priest had them on his robe and as he walked in the presence of God offering the sacrifice for the sins of the people the people knew if they continued to hear the bells ring they knew the sacrifice was acceptable! If not Arron had a rope tied around his ankle where the people could drag his dead body out of the Holy of Holies if the sacrifice was not enough to atone for the sins of the people! Remember Cain and Abel? When the sacrifice of Cain was not enough he murdered Abel his brother! So I said all that to say this! What has happened to the ringing sounds of liberty across America with ringing bells proclaiming liberty for all? Why have the bells gone silent? When a culture any culture rejects the sacrifice of Christ that culture is doomed for destruction! The bells are made into bullets with violence and death throughout our major cities! Not safe to walk down the streets in America anymore! Plagues upon our land! Drought! Civil war with riots, burning and looting! Perhaps we need to hang up the church bells back up into those towers? Our American Revolution started in a church tower at Concord and the first shots were fired on the church grounds that began the Revolution! Does the church need to get revolutionary and take back America or do we let it slip away with our liberties into the abyss of Marxist Socialism stealing our liberty away and our nation?
