Theory of Violence and it’s practical necessity for Christianity.
The call of the Judges to deliver Israel. The impossibility of peaceful coexistence. The necessity of battle. The cowardice and shame of those who ignore the call. The honor of those who despise even their own lives in the face of monumental risk.
“For the nation or kingdom that will not serve you will perish;
it will be utterly ruined.” Isaiah 60:12
“But those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them—bring them here and kill them in front of me.” Luke 19:27
“The Lord will send on you curses, confusion and rebuke in everything you put your hand to, until you are destroyed and come to sudden ruin because of the evil you have done in forsaking him.” Luke 28:20
(Once a year I’ll share with extended family and close friends about things I’ve talked about since 2016. War, and domestic war. This year I’ll share with you, too:)
Happy 2023 family and friends (but I’m repeating myself . . .)
I thought I’d take a moment to share my thoughts on themes I’ve been talking about since 2016. Time to see if I am just another lunatic (and I won’t argue that I’m not!), or maybe got a thing or two sort-of close.
One year ago there was no war in Europe. Today there is war in Europe.
NATO (the West) has sided with Ukraine; this is no longer a “special military operation” to recapture some lost Russian provinces and protecting ethnic Russians from oppressive Ukrainians. NATO (the U.S.) shipped missile systems, and all manner of ammunition to Ukraine. And $100 Billion in cash, some of which has filter back to D and R politicians in the U.S. In the news today, Germany, Poland, and the U.S. are trending toward sending battle tanks to Poland. Patriot missile donations are old news. YouTube shows soldiers with strangely American or British accents fighting Russians in the Ukraine. U.S. Embassy acknowledged one recently deceased American in the fighting. The 101st Airborne and the 82nd Airborne deploy to Poland and Romania. Secretary of Defense Austin admitted that there are troops in the Ukraine to “monitor” the weapons we sent. And this is just what is in the Press.
The point: War in Europe was not reality twelve months ago, but it is today. It is not just gun fights, it is full economic warfare. Somebody blew up the Nord Stream pipeline— it didn’t blow up itself. U.S. sanctions on Russia remind me of the U.S. sanctions against Japan just prior to their attack on Pearl Harbor. American politicians (R and D) by a large margin support this war against Russia/for Ukraine. …
War with Russia and war at home. The church is not ready for what is coming.
Russia’s Relationship with Western Europe — Two Centuries of War
What Is Coming Is Inevitable – Regardless Of What You Want Or Think
War is the theme. A very brutal and bloody war. Never forget that the ”Lord,” in the book of Joshua is the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the same forever. Hebrews 13:8 and Malachi 3:6. Violence is a theme throughout the Holy Scriptures from the Law to the Prophets and the Gospels and the Revelation,
The sons of Israel invade and kill the evil blood lines in the land taken by Canaan’s descendants. No apologies given.
Starting the book of Joshua. Moses is dead, Joshua takes command. Rahab the harlot. Circumcision. Replacing the people of Canaan. The Captain of the Lord’s Host.
What does the world hold when I drop my rosy view of life and adopt a more biblical (and pessimistic) view of the nature of mankind?
Thirteen thousand US Army Troops invaded Russia in a century ago and engaged 
Bolshevik forces in Russia’s civil war — regime change before it was a thing.
This is not fake news. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allied_intervention_in_the_Russian_Civil_War
Russia has not forgotten; a Russian may reasonably suspect that NATO is looking for a repeat.
NATO leaders have called for regime change, crimes against humanity tribunals, seized Russian finances, voted to for $40 Billion in arms for the Ukraine. Mr Biden has called Putin ‘a “killer,” a “murderous dictator,” a “pure thug,” a “butcher,” a “war criminal,” guilty of “genocide,” who “for God’s sake … cannot remain in power.”
What is a Russian to think of this?
Here’s another thought about War: soldiers do not accept mass mobilization in order to advance the communist revolution, nor to “save the world for democracy.” The Russians could not motivate their countrymen to die for the “workers of the world” in WW2. So, they resurrected the Russian nationalism and re-branded the conflict as the “Great Patriotic War.” It worked.
The Chinese have not made this mistake — they are rabid nationalists inspiring loyalty to race and blood. Only fools are seduced into the delusion that “we are all one people.” The Chinese bypassed Russia’s short-lived illusion while Americans wallow in it.
The Left demonizes Whites, and legacy Christianity, as “threats to democracy.” Traditional Americans are enemies, “domestic violent extremists,” as they labor to “fundamentally remake” America.
Who’s going to fight in the next World War? Fight for what?
These are tenets of the Left’s religion, not ours. It will be too late to make a call to traditional Americans to defend a regime that hates them.
Democrat governors like Newsom and Mayors like Lightfoot will call for United Nations intervention inside the United States to suppress “Nazis.”
Mark my words, this will happen.
Hell on earth is coming to America.
