I normally don’t like to wander into the realm of politics in my articles, as I believe the Spirit has assigned me to be a witness for the Gospel instead. There is no shortage of people covering the swirling world of political mayhem that has become the norm.
I want to make clear that I don’t assign any divine importance to Donald Trump. He is just a man. A man that God has “apparently” chosen to serve Him at this time.
I remember thinking, after the 2020 election was engineered, that perhaps the hand of God had finally been lifted from America.
America was being given over to a political ideology that publicly renounced Him.
“Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness” (1 John 3:4).
I thought it could be because there were so many safeguards built into our political system to ensure that elections were conducted according to ethics and law, yet there was so much evidence that these laws were being blatantly ignored and/or disregarded, and worse, there were so few “officials” that were willing or able to stop this travesty.
I am not so naive as to think everything previously was all sunshine and lollipops, but it was a bit discouraging to see the total lack of accountability under the Constitution and the failure to consider that, if left unchecked, this can’t end well for anyone. Not the sheep. Not the wolves.
I also realized that avoiding political discussions in the long haul was not going to be completely possible because politics was going to continue to force itself upon “religion” whether it has a right to or not. Throughout history, the “state” has always tried to become a self-appointed, secular-human god.
As we have witnessed in the last (almost) 4 years, government began a program of antichrist-like persecution against Christianity in particular; it was not going to be a gentle process, and there would be no effort to disguise it.
I am not going to provide a list of examples of these persecutions of both the church and of secular patriotic American citizens. There are far too many of them, and many people have already become aware of them due to their level of viciousness.
