"I was wrong about communism and so are all those who deny God's Power in History"
Communism in our time was the culmination of the notion that man could direct his own affairs without recourse to God.

Whittaker Chambers in 1953 wrote a book entitled "Witness" concluded that the struggle on earth was between those who accepted God and those who did not. For those who did not, Communism was not the only path, but it was the most effective means of making it clear that man can rule without God, and without God the challenge to communism is sterile. Chambers rejected communism and accepted Christianity with the conscious conclusion that he was switching from the winning to the losing side in the present world.

The wall has come down
Where there was darkness
now there is light.
