@TCC you wouldn't have happened to have dabbled in qanon?
Hi brother. I am not sure if 100%FedUp.com is qanon. And although i post some of their articles because they appear on freespoke as conservative, I did not feel comfortable posting the above mentioned article. Because frankly, yeah, i noticed it sounded a bit qanon like to me. At least in the totality of its expression. I am aware of qanon. In those days of assessment, my understanding was how people can make too much sense of something telling us they use disinfo? I mean, you can make some things to mean anything. And which part of what anyone believes might be true be disinfo?
The way I look at Q is like it seems to be a psyop. Could it be the left wanting the right to look ridiculous? Maybe. Or could it be Trump's alter ego? lol. Maybe. But "qanon" is a group of people that see varying different things. Of course there is a common thread. But I never really shared in the consensus. There were too many variations. But as for Q itself, it does seem to have been some form of psyop to me. In its worst case scenario, it would be something E511 news and some pastors like JD Farag believe. That its some twisted form of Christian nationalism bringing on the harlot church (forming it) for the coming tribulation period. To me, I would see it generally as a psyop to taunt and gaslight the left. Like some kind of Trump security blanket of sorts.
My views in many places would overlap. But the kinds of research i do, even though largely based on political science theory, is more biblically thematic. At least from my perspective. So, my views are more so based upon the character of God in the closing of the age of grace. Leaning on biblical themes of God like Hosea 11:9, Ezekiel 33:11, and Numbers 20:12. Eschatologically I would see the Abraham Accords and affirming for Israel both the Golan Heights and Jerusalem under Trump to be hugely prophetic in value as it relates to Ez 38. Israel would need to get to a real place of peace and safety. We will have to see, but Trump looks like a pretty good chance of getting them there.
During 45, Trump waited until the congress was controlled by democrats to start building the wall. Ann Coulter supported him until he was taking t0o long to build the wall. To me that indicated he may not have wanted it finished. At least then. If the wall was built by the time Biden came into office, we would lose the incredible optic of the border being wide open. Something America had to see in order to want the wall as a country built ourselves. Whether Q has potential value is yet to be seen. But is God using Trump in prophetic ways? I believe that is pretty loud in the cases mentioned above.
My eschatology on this is simple. America becomes much stronger. Globalism fails. Israel rises to the level of peace and safety. Q nor Qanon are looking at things through eschatological eyes. Q has no sense of biblical prophesy proper. Therefore, in my estimation, MAGA will succeed greatly. And the Abraham Accords strengthened. And Israel comes to her peace and safety moment. In this i don't mean or intend to omit the book of Revelation. I would see Revelation for the tribulation. And Ez 38 as our age of grace pillar of cloud by day for children of the day. In that sense, Q is pretty insignificant. But while most in the watcher community see the beast system forming (and no doubt in real ways it is) I tend to see the eschatological ending of the age of grace as something in care from the Lord to demonstrate His goodness one last time in a likely very great way. If this is so, it would cause a lot of confusion in the watcher community. But it would not confuse me. Not because of Q. But because of Hosea, Ezekiel, and Numbers. You may not see it that way. And that is ok. But I hope it makes sense in at least where I am coming from to a degree. Blessings.
. . . . .
Just wanted to add something I hope might be helpful since it tends to be the case that my views resemble too closely perhaps to qanon. The way I treat my own views is with serious and extreme prejudice. Because if I went with Q i would feel pretty ripped off...lol. One of the main overarching social conditions that seems to be a significant challenge to our day and age is how is the massaging of bias. From what i have seen we can tend to dismiss or approve of ideologies based largely on somewhat limited spectrum of potential point of view consideration. From what i have seen over the past 10 years with media, the watcher community, and politics of course as well is that we are an age that is extremely susceptible to factions of ideology--or another way to say that is: tribalism. Our niche factor is super high off the charts typically in our day and age. And because of that which is somewhat of a norm for our generation we can tend to factionize. I've seen this at some pretty horrifying levels. Having come out of the American Reformed tradition where factionism is daily bread and butter. And kind of forced me into having to work extremely hard of seeing outside the box even an inch...lol.
However, at the same time, one thing i did appreciate about the American Reformed tradition is its ability to hold tensions with those outside their immediate circle. There was a sense of inclusion even within the organic tribalism that occurs in the network. Which is kind of ironic, actually...lol. But in general I will tend to seem to align as some may think even with NAR because of my views. The difference (besides my being a cessessionist) is I believe there is a tribulation coming. And although Trump may be used in ways by God, he will come with the sinful disease of our age. For some it might be difficult to see a Trump that God may use combined with an extremely fallen man.
So I solve for Israel in regards to Trump even as a solve for Israel in eschatology. I believe if we solve for Israel in our end time days of the age of grace, we would potentially see a lot more than what is typically viewed in watcher circles: the beast system or things related to Revelation. We would see a different story emerging. A story where Israel is primed as the bellwether, rather than our ideas about Revelation in our contemporary moment. In all the watcher trajectories, yes I have seen Israel mentioned and considerations apply. But in no wise have i ever seen a "solving" for Israel approach to eschatology. It always goes back to the beast system from what i have seen. So to me what solving for Israel means is that we look at things in relation to God's providence over Israel. And see that as the metanarrative. That which leads all other narratives. Instead what seems to more likely occur is a tendency to shoehorn Israel into the metanarrative the watcher community senses to be more so in the know regarding in respect to our understanding of how Revelation relates to us. And using that as foundational insight where Israel is a footnote in that. Things look pretty different if we flip that narrative. But i use this as an example of what i mean by a bias oriented generation, in part.
So to me, there might be views on Trump from qanon. And there might be views against that and NAR, amen. But i would see that level of argument too close to our sociological moment. I don't really think being pro or con on Q is where discernment flourishes most. I believe where it flourishes most is seeing how Israel aligns with Ez 38 for our day and age. And then, what that story informs upon everything else. Being able to view things this way, to me, it is irrelevant what the pro and con on qanon is. To me, that is more like an argument in the back room. What we do see is America becoming stronger in light of Israel. And the Abraham Accords aligning them with peace and safety. And all that as Ez 38 comes more and more into focus. While the watcher world has been interested in the idea that America must collapse for bible prophesy to occur, I would more encourage a view where America is likely part of prophecy unawares. Not because of MAGA, qanon, or hopes even in Trump. What we could say is that it might be a shocker that Trump is reelected after all we have been through. But to me, not a shocker because of what we saw of 45 and Israel. To me providence transcends Q, Trump, and watcher community views and associated theology of America needing to tank in order for prophecy to move forward. It would seem quite the opposite. Which would not surprise me at all if the majesty of God might imply that though. Just saying. Blessings.
