The Remnant vs. Leviathan
I always wondered why India 🇮🇳 and China 🇨🇳 hesitate to accept Christ.
I wondered why Mahatma Gandhi famously said, "I would follow the teachings of Christ, but not the Christians."
The answer lies in a history where the name of God and the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ were profoundly misrepresented and weaponized by imperial powers for global exploitation.
God's heart aches 💔 and so is mine for India, China, and Africa—regions that together represent over half of the world's population. My heart aches deeply because imperial greed brought the holy name of Jesus Christ into ill repute, trading the immense value of human souls for gold, silver, and diamonds.
History shows us a devastating gap between true faith and the brutal realities of empire.
When corporate monopolies like the East India Company and figures like Cecil Rhodes conquered, pillaged, and subjugated millions across India, China, and Africa—extracting wealth, forcing the o***m trade, and destroying lives under the banner of a "civilizing and Christian mission"—it wasn't the spreading of Christ's love. It was the hijacking of His Name for material gain.
If God judged Israel for its sin in the old testament, how much more will God judge the British Empire who in the Name of Christ destroyed millions?
Yet, amid the darkness of the Leviathan, there is a profound consolation: the faithful missionaries who did not just preach, but truly lived the Gospel of Christ at the grassroots, loving their neighbors and standing with the oppressed. I praise God for this faithful remnant.
Here are a few horrible things the British Empire did:
1. The O***m Wars (1839–1860): The British Crown and East India Company forced millions of Chinese citizens into o***m addiction to fix a trade imbalance, launching two wars that dismantled Chinese sovereignty.
2. The Great Bengal Famine of 1770: East India Company extraction policies and taxation caused a catastrophic famine that killed an estimated 10 million people, wiping out one-third of Bengal's population.
3. South African Concentration Camps (1899–1902): British forces imprisoned roughly 116,000 Boer civilians and 120,000 Black Africans in scorched-earth camps, resulting in over 27,000 Boer deaths (mostly children) and at least 20,000 Black African deaths from disease and starvation.
4. The Amritsar Massacre (April 13, 1919): British troops fired 1,650 rounds of ammunition into a peaceful, unarmed crowd of 15,000 to 20,000 people in Punjab, officially killing 379 (independent estimates exceed 1,000) and wounding over 1,200 without medical assistance.
5. Glen Grey Act and Colonial Dispossession (1894): Spearheaded by Cecil Rhodes, this legislation systematically stripped indigenous Africans of land ownership and imposed punitive taxes to force labor into diamond and gold mines, laying the structural groundwork for apartheid.
