The previous generations have surrendered rights, property and privacy to the Beast. But the Beast only became hungrier and is close to stripping us of everything else that is rightfully ours. Most inhabitants of this country are going to bend over and take it, assuming that they will be treated benevolently if only they allow themselves to be rendered absolutely helpless and encourage others to bend over with them. I will not be one of these. When my line is crossed, someone is going to pay dearly for what is mine.
War is hell, but a life without freedom is living death.
One simple illustration of this is a comparison of the New and Old Testaments. Even a cursory reading of the Bible shows that the former describes an age of Grace while the latter describes an age of Law. You could also say that the Old Testament documents the history of Israel while the New Testament documents the early history of the Church. God's grace was exclusive to Israel before but all-inclusive now. In Old Testament times, God would speak directly to individuals.
