WILL WE BE THE GENERATION?
When I remember the year of our Lord 2020 I am drawn back to consider the radical difference of responsive conduct between our political parties. After the home of the 45th President of the United States of America was subjected to a nighttime raid by a CNN news team and the full furor of the Federal Bureau of Investigation none of his followers took to the streets. There was no pillaging nor burning in retaliation even when many were lured into the capitol to be accused of insurrection. Quite a few were jailed for lengthy terms, some of them without even a court appearance. Still, the adherents Of Donald J Trump protested peacefully.
As the past President of these United States was subjected to trials where the sentence was announced even before the prosecutor was elected to office or the criminal charges determined we remained peaceful. Looking back at those times one might consider what the liberally biased news media called peaceful protesters and their different conduct.
They destroyed streets and buildings, automobiles, and people’s lives. What makes the difference? One group violently hates America and the principles for which we stand. Those of us that love our country and its record of achievements don’t have to break or destroy anything to express pleasure or displeasure. We recognize that there is an even higher authority than government in this world and HE is our ultimate judge.
We have come to realize that the eight years of pacifist capitulation, 2008-2016, and the four years of ‘Bidenomics’ and persecution, 2020-2024, were sent to us as a wakeup call. Now, a prudent voter can readily observe just the beginnings of how bad things can really get. The “one generation” of the predictions of about how easily democracy can be destroyed is alive today.
We are the generation that has to decide whether the world will be ruled either by ‘sharia law’ or atheistic communism or not. The decision hangs in the balance. Will our American republican form of government with its democratic principles survive another election or will it be democratically destroyed.
THE AUTHOR OF HATRED When Jesus of Nazareth walked upon earth men showered upon Him the hatred of hell itself. Probably not since the days when Jesus lived among men have men observed that kind of vitriolic hatred spewed toward any man until today.
Americans, as a whole know this malady or disorder as TDS or Trump Derangement Syndrome. When quizzed about it those under affliction deny it under the excuse, “No, I just hate Trump.” Never given-any reason-just, “I hate Trump.”
One fellow fibbed to me as a reason yesterday morning, “I know Trump.” The lie most people use is: “I know somebody who knows Trump and (he, she, they) say???” The real reason that people hate other people is because Satan works full time inspiring them to do so.
Since the day that Adam bequeathed his God given dominion over Creation at the Garden in Eden to Satan, the devil has been busy. One of his principal objectives is to try to separate mankind from their Creator. Hatred in the hearts of people gives him success in this regard.
How does all of this affect those of us unafflicted by the syndrome? It gives real time worry about any of our families or friends that have been overcome by it. Caught unaware they face spiritual consequences if the weakness is left untreated. The Holy Bible mentions hatred in this way: 1John 2:9-11 He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now. He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him. But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.
1John 3:15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
1John 4:20-21 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also. ( KJV) Our American brethren are entitled to our prayers and they will do more good than our arguments with minds closed by hatred. Pray for their enlightenment. Pray for their awakening. Pray for President Trump and the United States of America. Pray especially for an American Revival. That would awaken all of us!!
