End-Times War Intensifying - Terry James - https://www.raptureready.com/category/nearing-midnight/
A man stood up the other day at one Democrat Party function or the other. He was a fellow Democrat with those gathered, as I recall.
The man with the microphone for that moment said something like, "Our nation is in serious trouble, and the only one who can make it right again is the Lord Jesus Christ." That's not his exact quote, but it was just as strong as I've paraphrased here.
There was immediate and loud reaction to his words. They were not in support of the speaker's sentiment. Far from it; there were shouts for him to shut up and even stronger invective, as I heard the reaction.
They gave him the proverbial hook in no uncertain terms.
He was exactly right, of course, and what he was doing on that Democrat stage, I must admit, baffled me. Having heard all such references to God in a positive way shouted down by Democrat Party gatherings since well before the 2016 presidential election-shouted down with boos and hisses of serpent-like virulence-I was surprised that even one among them still held to the view he tried to express.
Now I am aware that there are many true Christians even among the Democrat Party as it is currently constituted. However, it is getting more and more difficult to come to that conclusion based upon the God-opposing madness that-again, in my view- has become manifest since the time immediately following John F. Kennedy's presidency.
It is as if that political element within America is waging war on God. I'm not thinking here in terms of symbolically or allegorically or metaphorically, or any other way than literally. It seems the Democrat Party, with the full-blown assistance of the mainstream media and every other humanistic element of culture and society, is at war with God-specifically with Jesus Christ.
Lest critics brand me as a falsehood-spreading, right-wing deplorable, I offer a couple of pieces of evidence of recent vintage to support my case.
While the anti-God forces seek in every way, and on a daily basis, to push Christian beliefs from the public square, the champions of this force incessantly seek to claim that Christians are doing what they, themselves, are doing to remove all godly governance.
The Democratic National Committee (DNC) passed a resolution at its summer meeting championing "religiously unaffiliated" voters, who the resolution noted are the "largest religious group" within the party.
The DNC's "Resolution Regarding the Religiously Unaffiliated Demographic" stated that "religiously unaffiliated Americans overwhelmingly share the Democratic Party's values," and "have often been subjected to unfair bias and exclusion in American society."
The resolution also takes a shot at deeply religious voters, who are accused of using their religious beliefs to oppress other groups.
It said "those most loudly claiming that morals, values, and patriotism must be defined by their particular religious views have used those religious views, with misplaced claims of 'religious liberty,' to justify public policy that has threatened the civil rights and liberties of many Americans, including but not limited to the LGBT community, women, and ethnic and religious/nonreligious minorities...
DNC chair Tom Perez has been openly critical of church-going Americans in the past.
Perez said in December 2018 that Republicans have an advantage because "people buy" what they hear at church.
"It should come as a surprise to no-one that that person has elevated the issue of courts to the top because that person on the pulpit is saying 'ignore everything else that this person has done and is doing, we have to focus on one issue of Roe vs. Wade.' And people buy it. Because that's their only source," Perez said. ("DNC Resolution Celebrates Democrats' 'Largest Religious Group' - And It's Not Christians," Daily Caller, Peter Hasson, senior reporter, 8/30/19)
The "religiously unaffiliated" designation is used to avoid "we are against any governance by any deity" label. America is still a nation that has a significant remnant of God's people, and the Democrat elite know it. They are masters, it seems, of luciferically inspired language.
Nowhere is the growing war against true believers in Jesus Christ more pronounced than within the so-called higher education institutions of America. We can read or hear news reports almost hourly of professors ranting against the way America was founded. They always bring the slavery issue into the mix of their vitriolic condemnation of the Founding Fathers. They ignore the goodness within the Founders' intention to, ultimately, bring about realization and acceptance that all men are created equal and that God is that Creator who favors no human being over another.
One example in American academia today of the hatred for all that is Christian is Jeff Klinzman, an adjunct English professor at Kirkwood Community College in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. He claims to be in sympathy with the domestic terrorists called antifa, and posted the following on Facebook. "I know who I'd clock with a bat."
He was referring to President Trump, who had said previously: "Antipas are Radical Left Wack Jobs who go around hitting...people over the heads with baseball bats."
The professor also wrote that he wanted to "stop evangelical Christians" and posted a poem that said, "Kill them all and bury them deep in the ground."
Klinzman explained why he shared the poem, "It's not pretty, and I'm not proud, but seeing what evangelical Christians are doing to this [country] and its people fills me with rage, and a desire to exact revenge."
When contacted by Cedar Rapids ABC affiliate KCRG, Klinzman said he was part of the group, "I affirm that I am antifa."
Antifa is a far-left group that often goes to rallies to fight white supremacists or groups they perceive to be racist. They also have a history of attacking journalists covering the protests. ("'Kill them all': Iowa professor resigns after his comments about evangelicals revealed," Washington Examiner, Julio Rosas, August 27, 2019)
Jesus' own words immediately came to mind when observing the treatment of that aberrant member of the Democrat Party's most active membership, the man who stood with the microphone claiming Jesus as the answer to all problems.
They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service. And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me. (John 16:2-3)
Just as the pious Jews sought to kill those who believed Jesus was Messiah, the elite of that Democrat Party gathering seem to be of the mindset reflected by the words of the professor as given above.
But it is not just those within the Democrat Party who are waging war against Christ. The whole world is going mad with the reprobate mind that has infected mankind because of collective resistance to Heaven's governance. They are primed, sad to say, to accept their false Christ, who will soon appear on the world scene. Antichrist will wage the ultimate war against Christ. He-and all who follow him-will meet their devastating end upon the killing field called Armageddon.
Don't be part of that end-times war-making. Accept Christ as prescribed in God's Word.
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. (Romans 10:9-10)
Profanity based campaigning - Bill Wilson -
NOTE: Remember what I wrote yesterday: "Thank God, we now have a president that is reversing this foreign policy and trying to address the problems created by the nearly two decades of wrongmindedness."
**********
There is a very interesting article on Thewrap.com by J. Clara Chan about how politicians, especially in the Democratic Party, are using profanity more and more often. She writes, "Politicians have been caught swearing since the days of George Washington. But according to an analysis by the government research company GovPredict, the number of swear words used by lawmakers on Twitter noticeably jumped after 2016. Counting words like s---,f---,a-hole, and b----, among others, lawmakers have sworn on Twitter almost 1,900 times this year; in 2016, that number was at 193." According to a cognitive science professor, the Democrat candidates may be "censoring themselves less" to appeal to younger voters.
Of course, a good part of Chan's story is about how Donald Trump used Twitter and social media to speak directly to his constituency, and that he often did so using profanity and hurling insults-which he still does as President. Chan's point is that "Trump lowered the bar, and now some Democratic presidential candidates are cursing with unusual abandon." Now, I say that this story is interesting because I have been saying repeatedly that the hate rhetoric needs to calm itself-coming from both the President and his opponents, including the news media-which are supposed to be unbiased, but probably use profanity on Twitter as much as the trash-mouthed politicians. We are all responsible for how we speak.
Notwithstanding, every time I bring up something President Trump should refrain from doing in order to be more effective and "presidential" and yet still get his point across, I get tons of emails from Christians taking me to task for "criticizing" the man God has selected for leading America. OK, I get that. But you see, what does scripture say about profanity? The word "profane" often is used in the Bible. One example that seems to fit what I'm discussing here is 2 Timothy 2:16, "But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness." According to this study by GovPredict, that is exactly what has happened since the 2016 election where profanity by politicians made its debut on Twitter and has become exponentially worse.
There was a watermark moment at the inauguration of President Trump in 2017 when all the protesters wearing their stocking vagina hats were threatening revolution. Celebrities used the most foul and abusive language to describe the President and those who voted for him. Since, the Democratic Party has adopted a resolution embracing the nonreligious as sharing the party's values. This has further opened the barn door to let out the animals of profanity. This is all an indicator where things are headed in this country. It's also an indicator of what happens when good people do nothing. The church has a role in all this, and it's not a role of winking at such, and giving in. This atmosphere of profanity and public bullying is bad for us as humans. Christians have the light of the world, we need to see that it is lit.
Of Church and Congress - Bill Wilson -
Recent polling data by Gallup, Reuters, Monmouth, the Economist, and Statista.com indicates that 79% of Americans disapprove of the job Congress is doing, with only 17% approving. These numbers have been consistent within about three percentage points over the last 10 years. Rasmussen polling analysis indicates "Voters are more critical of the job Congress is doing, and most continue to believe the legislators should work more with President Trump. They also think the president, not Democratic congressional leader Nancy Pelosi, should set the agenda...Most Republicans (57%) and unaffiliated voters (52%) say Congress is doing a poor job, but only 34% of Democrats agree."
With such a dismal approval rating haunting Congress, it doesn't show up at the ballot box. According to the Congressional Research Service, in every election since 1950, 90-to-98% of Congress has been reelected, except for 1964 (87%), 1966 (88%), 1974 (88%), 1992 (88%), and 2010 (85%). Over 69 years, Congress has been reelected at least 85% of the time despite Americans believing Congress is doing a terrible job. When I was in politics, we knew that it was an uphill battle to unseat an incumbent congressman. We knew the answer instinctively from talking to the voters as we went door to door. You could ask how they felt Congress was doing and receive a bunch of cuss words. But they sure liked their Congressman.
In 2013, Gallup explained, "Although Americans overwhelmingly disapprove of the job Congress in general is doing, voters re-elect most members of Congress in every election. This phenomenon is partly explained by the finding that Americans have significantly more positive views of their own representative than they do of Congress overall. About half (46%) of Americans say they approve of the job the representative from their own congressional district is doing. This is on the low end of what Gallup has found historically, although it hasn't asked this question often and not since 1992. From 1990-1992, Gallup asked Americans this question eight times, with approval ratings ranging from 49% to 66% and averaging 58%. In a lone 1977 reading, 55% of Americans approved of their congressional representative."
How does all this relate to the Church? The moral and spiritual fabric of American society is falling apart. Young people are leaving the Church in droves because they say it is irrelevant. Many of these issues can point specifically to the Church as a whole-being a club, teaching bad or extra-biblical doctrine, being judgmental, legalism, money grubbing, accepting anti-biblical precepts to attract pew sitters, and the list goes on. When this is pointed out that the "Church" is far from what the Lord would have it be, people will agree wholeheartedly, but at the same time say that their church is not part of the problem. So we have the same phenomena as with Congress. Christ said in Matthew 24:4, "Take heed that no man deceive you." Sometimes self-deception is even worse. Things need to change.
