We Are in the Lion's Den

We Are in the Lion's Den - Todd Strandberg - https://www.raptureready.com/category/nearing-midnight/ "Dilbert" creator Scott Adams recently made an ominous prediction about the 2020 presidential election on Twitter, telling his followers that if Joe Biden is elected tothe White House, "there's a good chance you will be dead within the year." "Republicans will be hunted," he wrote in a follow-up tweet, later adding, "Police will stand down." Over the past four years, the left has become totally fixated on the subject of Donald J. Trump. They monitor everything our president says, and they are constantly seekingways to destroy him. It is very bizarre to reflect back on all the people who have written books that claim to have a new revelation of sins by Trump. The newly released books are always duds.The promise of the real dirt is in the next one. If Joe Biden wins on the 3rd of November, I don't foresee a wave of goodwill sweeping over our nation. First, it will take several hours to convince the senile Biden thathe is actually the newly elected president of the United States. Secondly, this giant apparatus of hate will need some new target. They may go after Trump, but that will quickly become a pointless cause. Once Trump leaves office, he has no power. They can find some criminal offense in his past, andforce him under the threat of many years in jail to renounce his entire four-year presidency. In their mind, he was wrong the whole time. Forcing Trump to admit that they were right would be a hollow victory. The only way forward for these people is to go after the people who put Trump into office. Several liberal voices have already promised a payback once they regain controlof the White House. It certainly feels like we are already in Daniel's lion's den. Many states and cities are controlled by fascist Democrats that openly roar about their hatred for Christians,but strangely, they don't bite. Like with Daniel, God has sent his angels to shut their mouths. "My God sent his angel, and he shut the mouths of the lions. They have not hurt me, because I was found innocent in his sight..." (Daniel 6:22). The Board of Health for the city of Chicago has declared churches to be "public nuisances" because of COVID-19. In one meeting, "summary abatement," which is legalese forthe destruction of the facility without any judicial process or further notice, was proposed as a logical step. If those crazy Christians want to meet and spread disease, rule of law in the state allows them to simply bulldoze the building. I am very alarmed by the rapid rise in anti-Semitic talk from the left. The same people who complain about America being racist against them have a growing blind spot whenit comes to hatred against Jews. DeSean William Jackson is a wide receiver for the Philadelphia Eagles football team, and I don't understand why he still has a job. Jackson recently shared a quote attributedto Adolf Hitler saying that the Jews will "extort America" in their "plan for world domination." "Hitler said, 'Because the white Jews know that the Negroes are the real Children of Israel; and to keep America's secret, the Jews will blackmail America,'" the quote reads.It comes from a fringe book titled The Hidden Treasure That Lies in Plain Sight, written by Jeremy Shorter, a self-described member of the Black Hebrew Israelites. Jackson initially defended his post, saying, "Anyone who feels I have hate towards the Jewish community took my post the wrong way." He then reposted the quote, highlightingthe portion in which Jews are accused of seeking "world domination." Jackson has also praised radical anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan, who has compared Jews to "termites" and called Hitler a "great man." There is no middle ground in dealing with people on the left. Since they have a monopoly on truth, there is no reason for debate. We are expected to bow down to their pagangod. Here is a refresher of liberals' crazy beliefs that show their absolute conflict with reality: Speech equals violence, but silence equals violence as well. Some lives matter more than other lives, despite our common shared humanity. The highest form of "patriotism" is not simply "dissent" anymore, it's overt treason. Defunding the police is the best path towards a civil society. The United States was built on a foundation of slavery, and is therefore illegitimate. Men can be women, and women can be men, at will. A "national conversation" means everyone agreeing 100% with the Leftist agenda. Some people think that all is well as long as the Dow Jones stays at high levels. The United States is still the richest, the most powerful, the most advanced country inthe world, but it is sitting on a foundation of sand. The true measure of a nation is its dedication to freedom and Biblical values. My blood just boils when I see this mob of idiots destroying our nation. To prevent myself from suffering from a stroke or a heart attack, I've decided to turn everythingover to God. All these smug reporters, corrupt politicians, and brainless protestors are going to get their comeuppance from the Lord Almighty Himself. God is a very stern Judge, but He acts with pure righteousness. "At the command of the king, the men who had falsely accused Daniel were brought and thrown into the den of lions-they and their children and wives. And before they hadreached the bottom of the den, the lions overpowered them and crushed all their bones" (Daniel 6:24). "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom..." (Proverbs 9:10).
