People are too quick to give the Devil credit he does not deserve. That was the nature of his rebellion in the first place: taking credit he did not deserve. He was trying to absorb some of the glory meant for God. How much of a punishment do you think it is for him to be assigned a task of hindering the glory in which he once basked?
Satan is not all powerful and does not own this world. He is tightly constrained, restricted in what he is allowed to do. He remains hungry for divine blessings, but only gets to take them second hand from the people he deceives. Since they aren’t his, it never satisfies. All he can really do is work to ensure that he is not alone in his punishment.
Once again: We are seeing the hand of God’s wrath on the world. Since my mission and calling are to the US specifically, that’s where I’ll focus, but you have to know that the deceptions of Satan are global. What we are seeing in terms of disaster is not going according to some great and super-intelligent master plan. There have always been some grand conspiracies in place, and we can easily characterize the general outline of what they have been, and are, and will be, because it never changes by much. It’s always the same human folly based on the restricted temptations of Satan.
Some people, like Brandon Smith, are convinced that government officials and agencies are uniform in seeking to carry out the will of certain conspirators. It seems we can’t shake the mythical image of super-intelligent masters ruling in the shadows. Therefore, Smith counsels that people in all places should prepare for an armed revolt against what he sees as inevitable uniform oppression. It’s not like that. The US is not that tightly welded together in the first place, though it appears to be so at times. The ferment of secession has always bubbled below the surface. National unity has been quite strong during times of national prosperity, but that’s about used up. Prosperity has flagged, and once it falls below some invisible line in the mass consciousness, all bets are off. Unity is very fragile at the best of times.
Some very large parts of America will never join in the tyranny hovering over us. This is part of what will destroy the system that has been the US government. Instead of treating the population like an enemy, some parts of the US have long regarded the federal monstrosity as the real threat. Indeed, you probably don’t need to be heart-led to sense where those places are. Just look at the record of resistance to federal mandates already.
We stand on the threshold of national martial law. There’s a very good chance it will be declared. Once done, it will open up a potent boiling brew of disunity. The very thing many official hope will bring forced unity is exactly what will destroy it forever. This is built into reality itself.
So the servants of Satan in high places among humanity are not all-knowing, and most certainly not that powerful. Satan is leading them to destruction; that’s his job. He deceives them about the nature of God’s Creation and what is possible. They will fail in the end. Yes, they have created the setting for something like a pandemic to bring down the system, but it will not grant them rich opportunities to plunder the world. It will appear to do so, but it won’t work out that way. It cannot work that way.
And because the deception is uneven across the US, so any resistance should adapt to the context. On the coasts and in large metropolitan areas, it’s a good time to get out, or to hunker down and plan to fight an overwhelming evil tyranny. How much wisdom does it take to recognize tyrants in local government? In other places, government officials will be more sensible, and restrictions will be relatively light. When handed more power, they will tend to use it more to pull away than to make policies uniform.
I can’t tell you what to expect where you reside. I am pretty certain that where I live things will be far more sensible. I sense no need at all to prepare resistance. What you do where you live is between you and God. Your heart knows already. But that shocking changes are in store for all of us is not in doubt.
I have no prophetic word on the timing, nor could I hope to estimate at this point when the US will be dissolved. I have only a dim notion of the sequence of some events, and those are subject to change because of too many unknown factors, such as this COVID-19 itself was before it hit our awareness. The one thing I’ve long been certain of was that there would be some big surprises. This virus is one of them. And at this point, I can’t imagine how this can pass without changing just about everything we’ve known on the human level.
This is it; now we know the shape of our tribulation.
Should the current situation deteriorate further; inner city blacks, even though they have been disarmed, will riot, burn and loot their “hoods”, attack asians and jews who will shoot back. They will be put down harshly and most will stay put, waiting for their hand outs. The independent ones will leave which leads to my next point. I’ve said this often in other places online, urban people bugging out to rural areas will not be welcomed when they get there and not because of race. Country folks, especially in the South are not racists, in fact, they are the least racist people of all. The fact is, we barely have the space to grow sufficient food for the people already here, like everywhere else, we are dependent on truckers bringing in the necessities of life. The urbanites(I include suburbanites) may be able to overwhelm rural areas close the cities but, the further out they go the greater and more organized the resistance will become. If we go into another great depression (I wouldn’t have said so 6 months ago) which appears likely the longer this shut down idiocy lasts, it won’t be like the last one. From the 1890’s until it began to fracture in the 60’s there was a uniform “American Identity” brought about by the government school system, national fraternal organizations, the draft, the pledge of allegiance, the flag, national patriotic songs, national sports, holidays etc etc etc. It was useful in assimilating large numbers of European immigrants, even if it was not based on any historical facts. That kept America from breaking up during the 1930’s. It’s not like that now; white people still hold to that peculiar notion of national identity but, other groups do not. White people will be the last ones desperately holding to that myth and will be forced by events to see the wisdom of devolution. Then again coronavirus could just fizzle out during the spring and the economy bounce back and the whole putrid mess could keep limping along. I’m prepared for the absolute worst.
“How much wisdom does it take to recognize tyrants in local government?”
Oh man, I know a few of those, and I know people who have had run ins with them. They’re the worst because you can experience them first hand.
