The first words out of mouths of the talking heads on the media and our government leaders is that there is never any excuse for resorting to violence. Are you kidding me? In the Declaration of Independence the founders of our nation implied that resorting to violence becomes necessary when governments become totalitarian authoritarian oppressors of the people.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
“when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security..”
The Bill of Rights added to the Constitution was enacted to prevent the kind of government tyranny that was prevalent under King George from ever happening in our newly created nation. Obviously then, if the government is no longer abiding by the Constitution, and inalienable rights for the citizens, the citizens then have the right and the duty to resort to force to try to return it to constitutional government. The Second Amendment to the Constitution was put there, so people had the means to overthrow a government that became totalitarian.
So, to say there is never any excuse for resorting to violence might be politically correct speech these days, but it is rather silly in reality. Are we also to believe our war for independence and our civil war was inexcusable because people resorted to violence? Changes of government throughout the world have historical almost always come about through resorting to violence. Do those claiming there is no excuse, really think the world has now evolved past ever restoring to violence? What fantasy world do they live in?
They also say we are a democracy as if we actually lived in one. The nation was created to be a democratic republic. However, those now running to be representatives of the people have to raise huge amounts of money to get elected. Politicians get most of their money from corporations, tax-free civil organizations, foundations and very wealthy people. The politicians then become more beholding to those paying for their campaigns, than to the citizens they are supposed to represent. Nearly a billion dollars was spent on just the two recent senate races in Georgia. Most of that money came from special interests outside Georgia to fund candidates that are supposed to represent Georgia. That is how our “democracy” really works, or should I say does not work. We really are now much more of an Oligarchy than the republic put in place by our founders.
Ben Franklin suggested we only would have a Republic as long as we could keep it. Are we keeping it? I think not. An Oligarchy is not a representative republic of we the people. And John Adams said that our system of government is only adequate for a moral and religious people. How are we doing in the moral department with all the godlessness, lawlessness, postmodern ethics, race baiting and the debauchery?
Having said that, using violence to change our government should always be a last resort because the consequences are deadly. The Trump supporters in Washington on Jan 6th had no intentions of resorting to violence. Communists and anarchists agitators were in place at the capital building before the Trump supporters even got there. There were also some Q followers among them that actually believed Trump would support spontaneous violent reactions against the deep state.
It really was a perfect storm. Threats were ignored. There was low police presence. Antifa and BLM agitators were in place pretending to be Trump supporters. Then Mike Pence did not do what Trump asked him to do to stop the steal. The leftists there had a preconceived plan to try to start an insurrection to demonize Trump and the movement he leads. It worked, because there was plenty of anger and disinformation to exploit in the crowd. The leftists started the violence. Antifa planted the pipe bombs, they also broke the windows, and they encouraged the Trump supporters to enter the building.
As I wrote almost 3 years ago, Q’s version of Trump’s take down of the deep state was a myth. Those thinking Trump was playing 4D chess to take down the deep state were delusional. Trump was under check before he even took office, and he was on the defensive and barely alluded being checkmated until this false flag operation. Q believers are living in some fantasy-land. Some of them still think this is a Trump plan to expose them all, and then Trump will still call in the military and round them all up. Anyway, I digress, most of Trump’s supporters wanted nothing to do with the violence, and they did not take part in it.
This was not a right wing insurrection by Trump supporters that was put down by the police as the democrats and their mouthpiece medias are claiming. Had Trump supporters in Washington really wanted to overthrow the government, they still would be dictating terms from the capitol building. The overwhelming majority never had any role in the violence.
Instead of the left demonizing all Trump supporters, and calling them terrorists and traitors they should be walking softly. Otherwise, American patriots down the line may come to the conclusion that they have no other choice but to come to Washington in force. Instead of hundreds of thousands there could be many millions, and instead of coming peacefully they could come mostly unarmed. The left ought to be careful, because if they start persecuting everyone on the right, those on the right will have no other choice than to adequately deal with the threat against them. That would be the makings of a civil war that the left cannot win. The leftists living in the big cities would be least likely to survive such a war, because they are totally dependent on electricity.
The leftists pushing the Amerika they have in mind, are not telling you they also plan to round up and get rid of tens of millions of conservative people who cannot be reeducated (brainwashed). They think they can first round up the guns and then the people, as was done in previous socialist revolutions. They will be in for a rude awaking when many rural American’s do not comply. Instead, they will form armed militias to resist the leftist neo-fascist threat. Those living in the big leftist cities would soon be fighting each other for water and food when the resistance takes down the power grid and supply chains. Believe me, you don’t want your leftist leaders to take you down that self-destructive path. People living in the leftist controlled cities better tell their leaders to walk softly until they have much more control over the heartland.
People in the heartland are quite aware that the elections were rigged. and know they will remain rigged as long as the Democrat machine controls the big cities. The left now controls political and corporate America. They also control media, schools, foundations and even many religious institutions. When there is no other recourse other than using force to survive, people will resort to using force. You cannot just deprive 75 million people and their children of liberty, free speech, means of self-defense, jobs and essential services and expect them to just sit there pacifically and take it. Civil wars were fought for far less reasons all over the world. We may have to break up into two or more nations because there seems to be no reconciliation possible while these godless leftist reprobates control federal government.
Politicians in Washington might reconsider becoming enemies of half the people in this nation. If there is a next time, instead of cowering in fear after a hundred or so people illegally enter the capital building, you may have to deal with millions coming in an armed insurrection against a tyrannical government that no longer represents them. The Washington police and your tunnels and bunkers will not protect you. It will be much better for those now taking power to walk softly, so they do not stir up the already considerable anger of heartland America.
Even so, You know the leftist leaders will keep pushing because that is what deranged control freaks do. They are wicked despicable people that just keep pushing. They keep blaming others for their own sorry life. Hate is all they know. If they keep blowing wind from the leftist establishment in Washington, they may reap the whirlwind coming out of the heartland plains.
There is a wee bit of good news because the communist puppets take over.
- Had Trump stayed in office the left would already be burning down the cities. That now may be put on hold for a number of months.
- China will be less likely to put out our lights while their very own puppets control America.
- For their own survival, conservatives will now become more organized and new leaders identified.
- The enemies of the MAGA movement have been exposed. They need to be primaried or a new party formed that excludes politicians not standing with the liberty movement.
- The Democrat Party collusion with media, high tech and multinational corporations has been exposed for all to see. It could not be any more obvious that they all conspired to rig the election.
- Corporate leftist media will have to talk about something other than Trump. On Fox News, Sean Hannity may even have to change his monologue more than once a year. New media will emerge, if they are not all taken down.
Telling you the bad news about having a one party state really is too long a list to include here. It really is not necessary anyway, because all of us will soon personally get to live through the Biden/Harris puppet show and the resultant fiasco. How bad it gets, is directly related to how insane the leftist agenda is, and how totalitarian and authoritarian they become. I think their model will be China. However, the CCP leaders of China have learned far more self-discipline, and have more common-sense then do our homegrown Mao loving antichrists and reprobates.
As the idioms go, keep your powder dry, because we live in interesting times. Needless to say, resorting to violence in the future may not even be optional.
Don, you remind me of Theudas and Judas in Acts 5:36f. God’s Word says that Socialism WILL prevail in the last days. Stop fighting in the flesh and submit to what Jesus said in Matthew 24:6, “these things MUST come to pass”.
Thank you Don. A very brave article. If/when your site is taken down, please remember that we will be praying for you and your family’s personal safety.
Is there a way of getting your articles and Bible studies in printed form to leave behind for those that might read them after the rapture?
God bless you for all you do to bring us the truth…
https://endtimeheadlines.org/2021/01/qanon-supporters-claim-trump-spoke-to-them-in-secret-code/
Just recently found this news app, not sure it is a good one yet. I would say, obviously most Trump supporters have been and are peaceful good people. Not sure for how much more or longer we are suppose to get pushed by the left before pushing back. I know if they start their gun grabbing games that will not happen without a war. Let them give up their guns and fight a war with those who will not, hmm I wonder who would win.
Toby
I would be careful with them, their statement of faith requires speaking in tongues as proof of salvation.
If you want my articles in printed form just print them out. I am not concerned about people after the Rapture. Everyone will be told the truth and the way of salvation by the two prophets and the 144,000 before the end comes.
Greg Alston,
Very much agreed. Keep to the Mission.
Hi Don,
Haven’t commented much, but I’ve been lurking here just the same. Unfortunately, I think you are spot on with your assessment. I really don’t think we will see another fair election in this country again if Trump and his “200 generals” don’t pull a couple aces from their sleeves very soon. The only recourse for patriots will be separation and maybe civil war — the first civil war, by the way. What happened in 1861 was not a civil war in spite of what the “victor’s” history books claim. I do fear for what’s coming, including and especially if that involves forced jabs of this unproven mRNA operating system. As per the comment above about not fighting…I can’t accept that. Matt 24 was written to the Jews for a time after the Rapture and doesn’t apply to the Body of Christ.
Take care of yourself and yours. You’re fortunate to be located in one of the more survivable parts of the country.
Doug,
Agreed. While it is true we may have to accept that certain things will happen, we still have to fight and stand up for what is right. If it is God’s will we perish then so be it. Because if it is God’s will it will happen even if we fight for our freedom. But at least then you fought for what was right and did what was right until the end.
And if we overturn what’s coming, then it wasn’t God’s will for it to happen in the first place. Because who can stand against God?
Greg,
And you remind me of someone that never understood the scriptures. You might stop using scripture taken out of context. Jesus in Matthew 24:6 was not preaching fatalism. He was talking about what would happen to Israel. Nor, is it really implied in scripture that socialism will prevail in the last days. It might, but that can only be implied from scripture about the Antichrist system and he only rules for 3.5 years. So, until that time we can try to influence others toward our own good.
By the very definition of our declaration of independence we have every right to throw off a corrupted oppressive government. I mean they really threw out every rule on the books to get Biden in office. Every single system of checks and balances failed us.
I think they overplayed their hands. They did indeed show the world that big tech and the MSM are thoroughly corrupt and colluded to oust Trump. Like you said Don, they have to keep pushing the envelope cause their nature as control freaks demand it. The new talking point is that Trump is akin to a terrorist leader and all those who support his ideals are terrorist extremists as well. That’s how they will justify banning us all from modern society.
My concern is that men with rifles are no match for a modern military. A single drone could lay waste as no civilian weapon could touch it. Not to mention the dozens of other tools the military has. We would need armed forces to step up and fulfill their oaths to the constitution. That said at least half the military would likely defect and the US is far too big and populated to ever really control. A tax revolt could starve the beast. A bigger concern would be China or the EU stepping in to assist Biden imo.
We desperately need red states to toughen up and start building their own power grids and manufacturing hubs. We know what’s coming. Red states need to stand up and say no unconstitutional federal law will be enacted here. Let them send federal troops to Texas and other similar places and see what happens.
Don,
I have been a reader for years (usually never comment.) I have always tried to remain optimistic, but with the events of 2020 and the “election”, I can only see the mass acceleration of freedom as we know it, stripped from us people who love America. I weep for my children. I suppose the option forward is to prepare, prep and prepare more. Unless our Lord and Savior intervenes, I honestly do not see hope for our nations future. It pains me to write that, but reality is in fact reality.
Thank you,
Steve from Ohio
I did a little deep dive last week on state militia’s on Wikipedia’s info was mostly from 2016. In 2016, the SPLC identified a total of 165 armed militia groups inside the United States. I will only mention one, Oath Keepers is an American far-right antigovernmental militia organization. The group describes itself as a non-partisan association of current and former military, police, and first responders, who pledge to fulfill the oath that all military and police take in order to “defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic”.It encourages its members to not obey orders which they believe would violate the United States Constitution. The organization claims a membership of 35,000 as of 2016. Don, I find it hard to believe these groups will not act soon after the inauguration and this would line up with the next birth pangs that have not relented since the pandemic began. You listed a number of positives that would result from Biden being INSTALLED but this would push against what I expect to be things getting much worse much quicker until we are snatched out of the world. These militia’s will begin gorilla warfare type strikes soon and might take down the power grids in certain areas which would explain the test run performed on a California power station in 2014: Don, do you really think it would take any further actions by the left to cause these groups to start reacting? Happy New Year to all my Brothers & Sisters here along with you Don!
Hi Stephen,
The leftists call Oath Keepers a far right antigovermental organization, but actually it just is patriotic people who took an oath to uphold the Constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic. In other words, they are just doing what their oath told them to do.
It just so happens that we now have a lot of domestic enemies to the Constitution within our government and one enemy of our country is these groups that label patriots as being hate groups. Just as Proud Boys is not a hate group or most of the other groups that the left labels as hate groups.
The Oath keepers will not act first, but they may act in defense of Americans under the attack of a tyrannical government.
What happens in America has nothing to do with biblical birth pains. All that is about Israel. Nor, is any of this any sign for the soon Rapture of the Church.
The taking down of the substation (not a power station) in Calif was probably carried out by Iranian islamists, not groups who want a Constitutional government to prevail.
But what about Romans 13? Does it not apply to the Church in every age? This is not fatalism, it is submission to governing authority that God put in place. Governments then answer to God for their abuses. We can and should do all we can legally to influence for good, not just sit on our hands. But don’t forget whose Kingdom we are truly fighting for. Not America.
Government was established by God to maintain order and protect peoples rights. When government requires disobedience to God disobedience to government is required. Our government now tells us to avoid church, avoid fellowship, do not work, do not proselytize, kill your babies, dont have babies, give up your right to self defense. We must obey God when Gods word disagrees with mans decrees. Our founding fathers sought every possible form of redress before using violence. If civil war comes to our country before the rapture there will be no neutral territory. God judges nations and the government of this one has chosen corruption over justice, now plainly revealed for all to see it if they are willing. If the Godless of this country pick a fight with the Godly we have no choice but to resist, the law of the land says as much.
Diana,
I suppose some claiming this also think people should submit to the Beast government and take the Mark.
The answer is that God never put in place lawless government promoting evil. Governments are under natural law just as are all in this fallen world. They are to enforce natural law discerning good and punishing evil.
We submit to government authority if those governments abide by the natural laws of God. They are to deal with evil doers not to enable them. If good men do nothing in this fallen world, evil people take over.
Our founders knew the Bible better than most Christians today, and they understood that tyrannical government could take away inalienable rights given by God. That is why the Constitution and Bill of Rights is written as it is.
The Bible tells us that we are supposed to occupy this world until He comes and be salt and light while we are here. Occupying means more than expecting God to do everything for us, and we cannot be salt and light if we allow ourselves to be trampled under by evil reprobates.
We also need to keep in mind that we have a representative democracy elected by we the people. Trump was overthrown by leftist reprobates in four years of an ongoing coup against him. He won the last election, it was stolen from him by a leftist conspiracy to take power.
Trump actually won the last election and he is the lawful President of the United States. Biden is an illegal puppet imposter. So do we obey the lawfully elected President, or the puppet President put in place by godless communists when trying to comply with Romans 13?
Hi Don, sadly, this post, though depressing, is a warning that should seriously concern people. I studied a lot of history, I think that it was because being born in the old Cherokee nation, my dad was half, made me wonder why they fought for the South in the US Civil War. There were very good reasons, completely unrelated to the slavery issue, but one was that the party of Lincoln, the Republicans, were discussing removing them from Indian Territory to New Mexico to create another anti Slave state of whites where Eastern OK is today. Roughly 1/3 of the nation died during the Trails of Tears 25 years prior to the CW. During the Yankee invasion another 1/3 died. The kind of fights that we are looking at is bad. No sane person should default to that. There may be no choice though. In 1776 the government called them “traitors” as the government today seems to be doing. Personally, I hope the Rapture comes first.
I think regardless of what happens, while we shouldn’t be paranoid and neurotic, we should still be cautious. Everyone should have an emergency plan with loved ones and your support network I think on the 20th, just in case or thereafter. Have food and water on hand to boot in storage.
Don, what do you think the odds are of an assassination/attempt as a false flag BY the Dems on Biden in order to give them an excuse for martial law?
Or if a civil war does pop, the odds of them using a “voluntary recruitment” drive to keep people busy, with struggle sessions for those who don’t join, in order to remove as many people from being in a position where they could otherwise rebel?
Don,
Times like these make me even more grateful for your site. Thank you. As for the topic, it is quite sobering. The entire nation is on edge, waiting and watching to see what transpires in the days ahead. While I tend to believe that something quite significant is coming, I think it is also possible that nothing much happens in the near term.
Sure, we may have violent insurrection, but I have a hard time believing any group or militia will strike in DC while it is so heavily guarded. Now that’s not to say there won’t be some false flag type things going on, in an attempt to further isolate Trump supporters. No, I think most people will try to go on with their lives in the short term.
Long term will depend on Biden’s actions. Like was mentioned, if and when they come for the guns, which will likely be in the form of taxation, people will revolt. At least I think they will. I’m not totally sold on some grand coordinated effort. I also think that if there are stricter and more draconian laws passed in the name of Covid, people will start to snap. This may come in the form of the passports, or quarantine camps, etc.
In any case, we are headed for rough times. If by no other reason, our economic situation alone cannot continue unabated. We are already in much more dire a situation than is being reported, but we haven’t seen the worst yet.
Hey Don, I am not sure how the following scripture that in verse 8 states birth pains is only for Israel? King James uses sorrows but the original is birth pains.
Matthew 24:1-8
New American Standard Bible
Signs of Christ’s Return
24 Jesus left the temple area and was going on His way [a]when His disciples came up to point out the temple buildings to Him. 2 But He responded and said to them, “Do you not see all these things? Truly I say to you, not one stone here will be left upon another, which will not be torn down.”
3 And as He was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the [b]end of the age?”
4 And Jesus answered and said to them, “See to it that no one [c]misleads you. 5 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the [d]Christ,’ and they will [e]mislead many people. 6 And you will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pains.
The FBI never divulged information on who they thought carried out the attack on the substation as they tried to bury this attack to prevent copy cats or provide targets for terrorist (foreign & domestic).
Derp,
I am not going to speculate on such stuff.
Steve,
I am not aware of any sane Americans who are planning any military strike on D.C. It would not even be something anyone talks about if the left did not hype everything as if that were about to happen. Why put 20,000 military in D.C when the city is is not even under threat? It is all hype to demonize the right so Trump supporters cannot peacefully assemble or have political rallies anywhere in America.
Don, Ive already been censored and placed in FB jail several times, and several sites Ive followed have already been hit by this version of The Ministry of Truth. My question is, how long do you think they’ll allow sites like yours, Rapture Ready, Brannon House’s site, and others to remain until they consider them too adversarial to the parties goals? I’m almost in disbelief that at 65 I am faced with the possibility of choosing sides in an actual physical conflict but it sure looks like thats a very real possibility. If I’ve said it before, please excuse an old man, but America had Patrick Henry/Give me Liberty or Give Me Death; the Serbs had an unnamed hero who said the same; Se Verum u Bogu, Sloboda ilie Smrt…I believe in God, Freedom or Death. Looks like that if The Rapture dont happen soon, thats gonna be the future, because Ill be damned if I wont die standing up…screw dying on my knees begging these bastards for my life.
Stephen,
The whole Olivett discourse in Matt 24 25 was given for Israel to know about the destruction of their temple and their end time future before the kingdom is restored to them. The birth pains occur in the time of Jacob’s trouble (the tribulation). We are not now experiencing the birth pains of the coming Kingdom. That is a fallacy taught by people that do not know if they believe in dispensationalism or newspaper driven eschatology. The birth pains do not happen while the Church age remains. The birth pains spoken by Jesus, are the same as those events revealed under the Revelation seals.
Hi Michael,
I have no idea how far they will push the Internet take down. We still do have courts until they try to pack them all. Anyway, all is not lost yet. Don’t rule out a big backlash because the leftists are insane and they will overreach. Getting in a foreign war also could rapidly change the course of events in America. The democrats are good at doing that.
Hi Don,
Thank you for clarifying that the Olivet discourse in Matt. 24-25
relates to Israel and not to the church. It is amazing how many
Christians believe it relates to the church. Del
Hi,
On the eschatalogytoday website, there’s some interesting stuff posted. As for insurrection act etc (mentioned), who knows (doubtful). I do like how the author is stating he is going to turn attention back to prophetic matters versus stewing about the situation in the USA.
On the raptureready website, I read a couple articles, one of which tied lying / cheating / theft / deception to end-of-the-church-age prophecy — I don’t like the phrase “end times”, as we’re at the end of the church age, and there is no such thing as the end of time – noting God is outside the envelope of time / space / matter.
I hadn’t really tied prophecy to theft and deception in such a direct matter (I’ve been deep into Leviticus, Numbers, Esther, genealogies for the past couple months).
I also was unaware that birth pains were inside the period from horsemen to great tribulation. Which leads me to my next paragraphs.
I dread hearing the phrase “God is in control”, since it’s been abused by evil-doers (Obama used the phrase “God is in control” often; of course Obama used the phrase to justify his evil-doing — Obama is very crafty at channeling his hatred of Jesus and His saints – Obama is a pre-cursor to the anti-Christ). And then we have the most despicable – those that identify with Christ and yet are biblical illiterates.
In any case, current events sure seem to me like it is all orchestrated by God. For the past twenty years, the only thing that surprised me was just how long the surreal calm-before-the-storm slowly dragged out. Now the fast track is engaging and it’s so fast-track that it’s hard for me to fathom it could go so quickly unless it truly is the removal of the hand of God (flax seed parable).
From another post, Don made a statement about — under the presumption of 2030’s return of Christ — that world wars do not precede the rider on the white horse — I feel like it really is going to come down to the rapture. Then we’ll see the flax seed parable (although, like John and revelation, we’ll be watching those events in Heaven).
It feels like the rapture is immanent and I (we) have only a short time left to be salt and earn rewards. Figuratively, it’s time for the sack-cloth.
Blessings.
Most of the Bible is for Israel. The letters of the Apostle Paul is for us, the gentiles, the Church, are they not? That is not to say we ignore the whole Bible, obviously not.
Hi Craig,
Actually I said another world war before the 4 horsemen ride is growing unlikely if the second coming is in the early 2030’s. In that case much of what is described there would be the next world war. However, if the tribulation is later than I think, we still have time for another world war before the four horsemen ride.
Those that stay out of politics might survive longer on certain platforms. Blogspot hosts the Eschatology Today blog, I believe that is a free Google hosting site, so it might be wise for Sean to stay out of politics unless he wants to move his site somewhere where it would not be so easily taken down. Hosting with private companies can be expensive and having a private web host also takes much more time for site administration. It is not for everyone.
Don, I read your reply to Steve above. The hype part is really worrisome to me. I have studied and read a lot of history, concentrated on the US Civil War, WW2 and somewhat on the Russian Revolution. What today resembles to me is the socialist take over of Germany in 1933/34. Adolf was elected with a small majority or even just a plurality in 1932 (I think). I suspect that there was even some real question of election integrity, but the questioners went to some camps (much like some American socialists have stated they want to sent Trump supporters to). When in power, with a bare minority, in their Reichstag (their version of Congress), they started passing laws ensuring that there would never be another open free election and make the camps. To justify such laws they staged a Reichstag Fire, which they blamed on a commie attempt to take over. The way the American socialist press is pushing the recent protest in DC, sounds much like the Reichstag Fire event the German socialists used to justify taking over, nullifying their constitution, and installing a dictatorship. I know that it sounds really paranoid, but that method worked for Satan and his minions once in a powerful nation. 2020 looks very similar in method to me.
I do have to remind myself that God has everything under control. I am to old and in ill health to go be a solder again, so I guess that prayer is my response. I also have to remind myself that the early Christians martyrs had prayers too. They did now want to be lion food either, but God also had his reasons and we serve him, not the reverse. But I do not believe that the US is a super factor in the end times Bible prophecies. We were used to help Israel in its development, but at some point we must step or be pushed aside as Israel’s protector so that the world knows that God is Israel’s protector (as in the Ezekiel War). The other thing is that I think (I cannot remember the verse to cite it) that God said that he would bring the Jewish people back from ALL nations and still wonder how he will pry them out of the USA to return. Sadly, 2021 promises to be worse than 2020 for the USA.
Hi Phil,
I agree, there is nothing new under the sun.
Don,
Regarding your comment. The four horsemen detail the rise of the 7th world empire and it’s world leader. It apparently has control over a quarter of the earth by the 4th seal. I wonder if the Antichrist coalition and Death and Hell are one in the same? It appears they may be.
Anyways, if the US is taken out by civil conflict and the rapture (highest % of Christians), and Russia is taken out by the Ezekiel war (if it’s actually pre trib) then that leaves a massive power vacuum. Only China remains a superpower. We may see this huge battle between the western AC Empire and the Kings of the East during the 6th trumpet judgement. Im assuming the AC must be victorious and He takes control of these remaining eastern troops to bring to Armageddon. Interesting times we live in.
I finally found a good pastor from a small church in California and have been listening to sermons online via YouTube. Well that ended as his channel was given a strike and suspension as he has a conservative worldview on current events. I guess your not even allowed to have your own thoughts in church now too.
The one overwhelming thought I keep having in the background over this entire scenario is patience. Does the leftist takeover of our country mean our worries are gone and the rapture will now happen immediately? No more than it did yesterday though today we are a day closer. Does it mean we stop doing whats right? No. Do we stop praying for our country and leaders as Paul exhorts in 1st Timothy 2:1-4? No, in fact even more so now if anything. How do we resist such evil? Well…they are lovers of money- deny them yours where possible, support the smaller businesses who are more likely to support you and share in good works. Stop giving the corporate media ratings, turn them off. Turn off professional sports, stop supporting those that work towards evil. Remember big donors to corrupt politicians still need money, dont give it to them, vote with your purse and feet if they dont want to count your ballot. If you arent homeschooling your kids start if you can, deny the leftist education system the minds of your children as long as thats allowed-by the way that gets at the leftist pocket book too, schools are paid based on attendance. Vote your local elections, stay in contact with local leaders, support them and encourage the good ones. Do not lose site of the chances to do good in the small ways. Try to maintain some form of in person fellowship with other believers, even if its just a few, we need eachother now more than ever. Just some of my thoughts.
It seems the wicked outnumber the good in America, as wicked people are winning (or stealing) these elections. We can say, wait it out and vote in 2022,2024, and that is our hope, but can we make it that far?
Gun confiscation could be the spark that ignites civil war, but confiscation of CHILDREN is another possibility. Four days ago, WND published an article about a PBS lawyer who was caught on camera advocating that children of Republican voters should be removed from their homes and sent to re-education camps.
This evil plan may or may not come to fruition, but if it does, I just cannot envision God saying, “Well done, good and faithful servant” to Christians who use Romans 13 as a rationale for submissively…and knowingly…handing their children over to monsters.
Mr. Koenig,
I agree with your assessments as to where we stand. It is fully within the right of all Americans to slough off a degenerate government that no longer represents the people. The government now represents the baser elements in our nation such as the LGBTQ+ people, but not Christians.
It is interesting how the left calls what happened in the Capitol terrorism and violence, but defend the numerous cities being burned to the ground as defending one’s freedom of speech. One image that is etched in my memory was of a reporter saying the protests in Minneapolis was mostly peaceful as a building burned out of control behind him and thugs looted businesses in the streets.
In order to accept the leftist message, one has to ignore reality. For example, the rage seen in Minneapolis was caused by George Floyd dying of strangulation by a police officer; however, that was not the case, you and the readership surely know Floyd died from fentanyl poisoning.
I tried to get corroborating evidence that the FBI knew about antifa and BLM attacking the Capitol with mostly peaceful MAGA people looking on, but there is too much disinformation to know. I would say antifa planned ahead of time to attack the Capitol. Even one of the pictures seen on the internet is of a leftist supporter whose father is a judge in New Jersey (I believe). Places like the Gateway Pundit are putting out that kind of information.
The republic we once had died when the republican party gave us to the ravenous wolves. They might actually be in bed with the left, so there really isn’t much difference between the two parties now.
I have my own theories as to where this will lead, but since this is your blog and you wish us to stay on topic, I will refrain from any speculation; however, I find that your views and that of your readers are interesting and could happen.
Good luck to you and all the readership!
Toby,
I don’t know why there would be less stealing in 2022 or 2024. The leftists will control what people get to hear and they will remain busy perfecting election fraud. The socialists do that everywhere where they are allowed to gain power. Besides, many millions of illegals will soon be made legal and given the right to vote.
Hi Tara,
They do not have to do that because leftist brainwashing camps already exist. They are called public schools. Christian parents willingly send their kids there. By the way, does anyone think the leftists will not stop home schooling now that they have absolute power? And even with home schooling you still have to teach the approved reprobate evolutionary Marxist worldview.
Don
No I guess really I expect them to try to end homeschool. It seems on one hand you point out all is not lost and on the other indicate that it is. If they mandate a curriculum and dont outright ban homeschool that does still leave the option to tell the kids its a load of crap and then teach them the Biblical version. I know things are bad and they just got worse. Until homeschool is outright banned I think it still wise to make use of it while its available, even with a mandatory curriculum. There isnt one in Texas right now. I guess my comment was more in the thinking of todays problem today and if they ban homeschool which they shortly may deal with that then?
As expected, Iran and North Korea are rattling their swords and showing off their weapons as it appears Trump is done. I guess they think Joe will be another Obama. And with all we have to deal with in our country now, who is going to deal with them?
Joe says he will now mandate masks everywhere he can. He flipped already and he not even in office.
Jim,
Since they’re going to force masks, I bought one of those $13 plague doctor masks on Amazon (didn’t know where else to order from) a few weeks ago. I will not wear the face diaper.
So I wear that long beaked creepy mask and they actually can’t say anything because it covers my face, while mocking their fearful submission to such bs. I thought about getting some red paint and writing “1984” on each side of the beak…
Funny thing is, I actually get a lot of compliments on it. It opens up a chance for me to talk to them. I’ll often comment “If it was good enough for an actual plague, it’s good enough for this plandemic.”
Maybe it’s time we all get halloween/party masks or something. Give them what they want, in a way that breaks their brain and might even get people questioning just how ridiculous it is.
Just some food for thought. I still need to adjust a wire structure inside it though… got it to stop pulsing when I breath but the eye holes kinda collapse inward. But hey it WAS cheap.
Perhaps we should all buy Donald Trump masks and wear those? When they complain go “Hey it covers my mouth and nose, and it’s a mask.” and then just go about your business?
I would just buy a mask and write OBEY on the outside with sharpie. It’s already a popular anti government slogan you see some hipster kids wear lol.
Tara,
Romans 13 is God’s Word. No need to justify anything – His Word is TRUE. If He commands it, He commends it. Now Romans 13 does NOT EVER mean disobeying any of God’s other commands. Romans 13 is instruction for submission to government unless and until said government asks for action contrary to obedience to God. Obey God, rather than man. But UNTIL direct commands are given AGAINST God’s direct commands, then you are to obey your government. Yes, it gets dicey – just ask believers in N. Korea, China, Iran, Turkey, India, etc. But you don’t get to strip Romans 13 out because your government is exceedingly unwise, cheats, lies, steals, murders, covets, blasphemes, and overall corrupt. Paul wrote it when it applied to the early Christians under Nero’s rule. We do not sin against God in order to appease governments. America has not had it at all bad yet compared to others. Prepare for persecution.
Dawson,
For years I have been saying that Christian parents should be home schooling, but with the left now getting total control of our government that may no longer become an option. The left will attempt to shut down all threats to their evolutionary humanistic Marxist worldview. They will keep pushing as long as they are in positions of authority.
The future depends upon perspective. Everything is not dependent on what America does or does not do in the next few years. We could even have a major war (civil or otherwise) that changes everything here for everyone. Just imagine America without many of her major cities.
And Americans can get buyers remorse rather quickly when they get a taste of what the left is selling them. All is never lost if enough good men do something. Even so, we both know that staying on the present course can only lead to destruction.
The left never thought that Trump would beat Hillary and give Christian conservatives a few years reprieve. Yet He did. Fourth turnings produce upheavals, but historically new leaders do emerge. Occupying until He comes, means not be fatalistic.
Diane,
Israel was under occupation by Rome because most forgot God so God gave them over to be ruled under the Gentiles. We are suppose to be a Democratic Republic where the people rule. We also basically have what amounts to a two party system. When one of the two parties conspires with media, corporations and billionaires to steal the election from the other it is not a lawful government according to even our own Constitution. Trump really got reelected, not the socialists that took over the Democrats and committed all the fraud to steal the election. Obey Romans 13 and submit to the lawfully elected president, not the leftist illegitimate puppet.
Diane
One thing however. Our Bill of Rights permits overthrow.
The Constitution and Bill of Rights are the government and structure, not the people running it.
So should our government become corrupt, it is not violation of Romans to disobey and abolish it and re-set it up. Because the Bill of Rights is the foundation of our government as is the Constitution.
That is the government instituted for America.
Don
I got you now. I can still be kind of squirrely but im getting lined out slowly…although more nuts keep falling from the tree.
For sure we have to see how bad it gets…I imagine the U.S. without the big cities going through some tough times and falling off as the world leader, but being better positioned to finish spreading the gospel to the rest of the world if there is still time for that. Most of the evil done in this country is spread like cancer from a few big cities. Its really easy to see on an electoral map from last year. How interesting Fraud Biden only “won” where he absolutely had too. After reading Peter Navarre’s 3rd report Trump probably won the popular vote too. I like the point you made earlier about Trump and Romans 13, let some folks stew on that for a while. I agree also about a few good men, historically God has not needed many faithful to affect large changes though it is sometimes costly. Mayflower, signers of declaration, Daniel and his companions, etc.
We will see what happens. I hope your site stays up.
One brite spot I saw yesterday. There are now no operating abortion providers in your state. May it last.
Hi Don,
I really appreciate your reply AND your ministry. You rightly stated that “…leftist brainwashing camps already exist. They are called public schools.” Thankfully, I have been blessed to homeschool all my kids from day one and to live in a state that doesn’t require parents to teach anything that violates their sincerely held religious beliefs…for now. Homeschooling laws vary greatly from one state to another.
Hi Diane,
You made some excellent points: “Romans 13 is instruction for submission to government unless and until said government asks for action contrary to obedience to God. Obey God, rather than man.” Very well said. One of God’s commands that my husband and I hold near and dear is 1 Timothy 5:8: “But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.” We are in the camp that believes God’s command to “provide for his own” includes the spiritual and physical protection of our children. As you said, Christians around the world are facing “dicey” situations. There aren’t always easy, cookie-cutter answers for every situation, and sometimes, difficult, split-second decisions have to be made. I am thankful for the comparatively easy lives we’ve had, but it does appear those days are rapidly drawing to a close. Persecution is already here, but just how bad it will get before the Rapture remains to be seen.
May God bless and protect you both. I hope we meet in the clouds SOON.
Tara

Lou Dobbs reporting. Theres still a few good ones left at FOX news. I still see many people saying Trump is going to remain President. I am praying and hoping this is true.
The more i think about it the more I don’t believe secession is an option. No matter what state seceeds there will be thousands or millions of citizens in that state that disagree. The Democrat media complex would say that these people are hostages of Confederate style traitors and must be liberated by any means necessary.
Next is revolution which I dont really see being successful at least at this point. I don’t see many moderates joining the patriot cause and fighting with them to overthrow the existing regime. Too many people are brainwashed and complacent.
That leaves civil war. I could see maybe a third to half the state governments eventually refuse to enforce radical leftist demands. They would stay in the union but have more in common with each other than Washington. Eventually if the radicals stay in power long enough they may decide to create their own defense force of sorts and bring manufacturing and power supply grids in state. From there I could see a civil war break out.
The war could go many ways but I don’t see the radicals winning unless they used nuclear weapons or foreign troops to assist them. Like i said before half the military would defect to our side anyways. The aftermath would be very interesting. The US would drop from superpower status and would likely break up into independent nations but retain mutual trade pacts.
This all depends on how fast the democrats push their agenda and if Republicans are allowed to win control in 2022 and 2024. I think if the democrats sweep again in 2024 that’s when we will see these happen.
So over the next four years I see the division widening. I could see small firefights pop up here and there and violence and distrust increasing. All it takes is one event to spiral things out of control. Obviously with the inevitable inflation and tyranny coming I would suggest buying any big purchases sooner than later and consider moving out of blue states.
Im stuck in NY until the fall but will be looking to relocate if it works out. Looking at a few states. TX, FL, TN, OH, and the Carolinas. I know Dawson will suggest TX lol.
It aint perfect, but call me biased lol.
National election may become irrelevant. With the open borders policy of the left and leftists already running Canada and Mexico a North American Union (NAU) may come sooner rather than later.
Can the states ignore Executive Orders from the president without penalty? Surely most states will comply with such orders if the risk of losing Federal money is possible. Do the States have any real power left?
Don,
So what do you think the smartest move by the remaining sane people in the US should be? Obviously you have to relocate to red states. That grants you short term reprieve. Becoming as independent as possible is another must. After that things get murky. I think at some point the option of choice will be taken from us and you will be forced to pick a side.
Steve,
The state’s have some power left but it will come at a cost. Like i said earlier a radical govt will hold federal dollars, cut off trade, and sue them, and send antifa in to harass them to compliance. That’s why I said red states need to quickly build their power grids and manufacturing up.
I hadnt thought about that Don. They could probably push that as an option to avoid civil war and the globalist would love that. It would also seem to move us toward a ten region setup as well.
Hi Jim,
The smartest move for God’s people is to learn to discern good from evil and try to oppose evil and promote what is good. For example, our Constitution is pretty darn good. On the other hand the communist manifesto that the leftist promote is very evil.
God moved us from CA to 35 undeveloped acres in Southeast WY, a couple of hours from what WY calls cities, almost ten years ago. Although we were living a “prodigal children relationship” at the time, the Lord still laid it on our hearts that we needed to make our home self-sustaining. Therefore, we have solar & wind generation, a garden, greenhouse, tractor with backhoe and other attachments. Also, chickens, turkeys and honey bees. Eventually, we got right with the Lord, and found a gospel preaching church 45 minutes from our “farm”.
We tried to pay cash for everything as we went along but ended-up with a small mortgage. We have an “emergency” stash of a few thousand dollars that would NOT pay off the mortgage. So, when we read your article “Huge changes coming no matter who wins 2020 presidential election” Posted on November 13, 2020, we made a list of the “things” we might need under a Biden/Harris socialist (communist) government. Our present intention is to prioritize the list and spend the “stash” because it will not be of any value to have cash when the dollar and economy fail.
Are any of you also preparing in this way? I would be very interested in your thoughts and how God is working in your hearts and minds to do common-sense preparation for the up-coming changes to our lives in our country prior to the rapture. Thank you and Don for your response(s).
Love, prayers and blessings to all of you – my brothers & sisters in the Lord …
Hi Wy Farmer’s wife
Believe it or not, this is not a chat site. Lately people seem to have forgotten that. You all need to read my comment policy if you have not already done that.
I will just say we probably will not be putting off paying cash for the big ticket items that are needed much longer, like drilling a well and upgrading a vehicle. We may also buy some land with most of anything left over.
Holding stocks, bonds, and cash long term is probably not wise when government is increasingly spending money like drunken sailors.
Good morning:
Thank you 🙂
Well. It looks like CNN is still pushing the false narrative about the Trump supporters attacking the capitol (surprise surprise) and is now trying to blame some of it on Newsmax and get them shut down. Meanwhile a Harvard student is trying to get the degree revoked for the law professor who helped with Trump’s case regarding the election fraud.
Boy Don, you weren’t kidding about how far they’d try to push it.
Derp
I told you that the tactic is to paint Trump as a terrorist leader and all his followers who resist tyranny as domestic terrorists. It’s really up to red state leaders now. Will they comply with orders that destroy liberty or will they stand firm and refuse. I think they should all flat out refuse and let Washington make the first move. It will rally all red states together. From there washington relents or civil war breaks out.
Jim,
Yeah I know. At this point despite the fact that I know the truth, it’s still so disgusting and slimy it shocks me. But with the globalists and the machievellians they are, I should know not to put anything past them. They’re utilitarian to the core. A lie if it’s necessary to achieve their goals.
Even with having forewarning five years back of the kind of people doing this it still makes me shake my head at how unreal things feel right now. May the Lord come soon… we need Him.
Looks like Biden said who needs 100 days, watch what I can do in 7. Good grief.
I have a thought. Could this current Marxist cancellation of people lead to the requirement of having the “mark of the beast” in order to financially transact? Surely we are close to the rapture and His wrapping up this age, so the timing is correct. Good is bad and bad is good, matriarchy in lieu of patriarchy, young informing the culture in lieu of the biblically based model of the older teaching the younger, the detestment of everything male, white, Christian, Jewish; while irrationally elevating to religious status gender dysphoria, Muslims, illegal immigrants while we have a debt over 27 trillion, and so on and on…
What I’m thinking is perhaps soon people will somehow be required to verbally pledge “fealty” to this progressive, Marxist, evil religion by agreeing to their religious destructive precepts, which would result in the mark. We might be getting close, which outta be good news to us if our belief that the rapture will occur previous to the secular mark requirement. (I’m glad I did not name my son Mark).
Hi Robert,
Evil is likely to continue to increase on earth, but I do not think we are there yet for the Antichrist system. Remember the four horsemen ride before there is any kind of globalization with the Mark.
In fact, I think the globalization comes about as the result of the four horsemen riding. So watch for the riding of the white horse coming out of Europe, but keep in mind that it likely occurs after the Rapture.
All I know is that it is very improbable that all astute Christians believe time is getting short if it actually wasn’t. I don’t think we are all deceived in this manner.
Don,
I think you’re right about the Four Horsemen riding first. Recent history is evidence that new orders are formed from the ashes of the old, WWI and the League of Nations, WWII and the U.N., Club of Rome, European Community, EU, etc. So yes, I think it’s clear that another world war is coming: China, Russia, US, Iran, etc. And if that is so clear, then the Antichrist should be near the stage steps by now. And if he’s that close, the Rapture is, well, at any time.
I really wish the Christian right would come together under common goals and successfully start organizing.
One group says we should never disobey government. One group says we need to start planning for civil war. Most in the middle don’t know what’s even going on. Many just want to sit back in rural America and hope it never comes to them. This won’t end well for us.
Hi Jim,
I don’t know why any true Christian would say we should never disobey government when the government is clearly enacting laws and giving orders that oppose many things taught in the scriptures. Are Christians to obey men or God?
I would not say we should plan civil war, but we should be realistic that it just may come to that.
Don,
You would be surprised the number of Christians who quote Matthew 22:21 and 1st Peter 2:13-14 as evidence we should simply submit to government.
True, if you or i were living in the late 1930’s Germany should we just blindly obey the NAZI laws ? Did Joseph and Mary abide by Herod’s demonic law, no they ran to Egypt
Hi Jim,
I am not surprised, I know many naive Christian claim those scriptures mean we should submit to all kinds of evils of government. However, government has crossed over its authority when it tells people to do evil. The Ten Commandments are things of God, and they are still not to be broken in spite of what government decrees. Submitting to lawful authority is not the same as submitting to unlawful directives of reprobate minds running unlawful governments.
If people would just use a little common sense, they could discern such things. God is not telling his people to follow the directives of the criminally insane decrees from Washington.
Don,
Maybe your next article should focus on using scriptures and building the case of when it is lawful for Christians to rebel or not follow authority over us.
So here is where the Bible says we should follow authority but here is where in the scriptures it says we should not follow authority and build the case of how to balance when to act and when and how to submit.
This would be a much needed article.
Use scripture to support both rebel and submit
Aritical: Balancing Rebeling and Submission to Authority from God’s Perspective
Hi Jeremy,
I think I already covered it in my comments. We submit to government when government is not causing people to disobey God. Nobody should claim that the guidelines given by Peter and Paul are in any way telling Christians to break God’s commandments. The leftist regime in Washington instructs Christians to disobey God’s words in many ways.
Paul says we will judge angels and nations in the Kingdom Age, but in the present Church age some think we should put on blinders to evil and just enable it? I should not have to tell any Christian having the Spirit of God the difference between right and wrong.
Yes I suppose Christians in America are unsure of what to do. Many seem to think we just let the wicked run us over without fighting back. Others apparently have their heads in the sand, wanting to keep hearing the feel good prosperity messages, and ignore everything else, including the last days perils that are happening everywhere like never before. Looking at what these wicked people are doing so far, they are just getting started. They have taken this country over and want to shut up all who oppose them. I want no violence but what will it take to make a stand against this wicked takeover? Pray and hold out until 2022, 2024? Yes continue to pray but the only way is we have to fight back somehow and it seems now or never.
We now have the most evil wicked bunch of clowns leading our country and it is very upsetting, saddening and embarrassing. As I said I pray for these people but they appear to be reprobates beyond any hope.
We pray. We spread the Gospel, and we hold the line. That’s all we can do until our Lord returns.
Derp,
What line do you have in mind? I think the line of Christians in this nation only still holds in certain Christian ghettos and remote areas. Therefore, you might also prepare for the hard times that are coming to this nation.
We don’t know, and we never will, how exactly things will play before the rapture. What we know for SURE is that a mob of far left socialists rule the Presidency, the Senate and the House of the USA and the European parliament. They are proud of being far left socialists.
They have announced their plan for one world government in 2030. They talk about it openly every hour of the day and are pushing with all they can to establish it. They just rigged the elections in USA and you will most likely never ever have fair elections again.
They love murdering babies (they even think that this way they are doing the world a favor), are extremely sexually perverted, hate God, hate you, hate the church, hate the Bible and are planning to ban it, are talking about it, are writing laws to reform your christian children and separate them from you because you disagree with them. They are stupid as hell atheists – the only group of people ever that the Bible calls stupid. Imagine how really stupid they are. They are corrupt, they have committed abominable things.
They came up with a virus to lock the whole world down and to kill the economy. A virus that is easily killed with soap, but they say it’s the most dangerous thing that this world has ever seen.
They want to take your guns away, all your rights away, to tell you what to think, what to do, where to go, whom you can and can’t talk to, what to say. You are banned from literally all the internet, or will be in case you say what you really think. You can be even sent to prison for this.
American Christians seem to wonder what could possibly go wrong in such an environment…
“The party is all-embracing. It rules our lives in all their breadth and depth. There will be no license, no free space, in which the individual belongs to himself. This is Socialism. Let them then own land or factories as much as they please. The decisive factor is that the State, through the party, is supreme over them, regardless whether they are owners or workers.” – Adolf Hitler
I think if Germans in 1945 could turn back the time, they would’ve slain Hitler and his mob by 1928 on the streets. The guy was thinking he was doing the world a favor back then.
We’ve already been labeled as Domestic Terrorists, enemies of the state. We need to be deprogrammed.
The propaganda machine is pumping it out non stop. Just because they can’t round us up today doesn’t mean they will give up on it.
I read history. What Martin wrote is the way it works. It’s working here and now. While we wait for the Rapture to rescue us and do nothing the communist are busy planning our lives and demise. I don’t know what to do either. Sure, the rapture would be great. It would have been great for the Believers in China, Russia, Romania, etc. but it didn’t happen. We need action.
Caitlin, an American guy just got sentenced to 10 years in prison over memes on twitter.
Martin,
Your facts are wrong. He has not been sentenced to 10 years, that is the maximum sentence possible for what he is being charged. He is still a long way from being convicted or sentenced.
The feds say he conspired with others to mislead thousands of people to believe they were voting for Hillary by text. Here is a link to the story.
https://tatumreport.com/unity-conservative-journo-arrested-memes-faces-10-years-prison-video/
Yes, Don. My bad. I only checked one source. It’s the second time today people are telling me I was wrong 😀
Don,
By hold the line I mean we must not waver in our place to share the Gospel or hold our values. To stand for Christ.
As for the temporal aspect… dealing with our country…
I don’t know.
This is far beyond any situation I’ve ever seen in my lifetime and not one I know how to combat other than voting for encouraging others to vote for candidates who will help fix things.
But we saw how Trump worked out.
