Yeah, what he said.
If you consider yourself a patriot, loyal to the people of America, then you are a fool for believing the government can be restored to the people. Lincoln lied when he suggested the federal government was “of the people, by the people, for the people”. Furthermore, he knew it was a lie; he remains one of the worst traitors in the history of the US. As it was, the US Constitution was a usurpation of the mandate from the states. It was a lie from Hell and represents a refusal to serve the interests of the people.
But the states were only slightly better. Building upon Enlightenment ideals was a rejection of the gospel and the Covenant of Christ. The entire North American colonization has been pagan and idolatrous from the start. Western Civilization is inherently pagan. So trying to restore anything from American history is a fool’s errand. The American people were pagan in the first place; they didn’t really know the God of the Bible.
It was the colonial philosophical foundation that made it so imminently easy to hijack the US government later. Look up the word “Haskalah” — whatever else it means, it points out that Jews were behind some portion of the Enlightenment in the first place. The Church had excluded Jews from participation in western society. The Enlightenment was a rejection of the Church, and was the result of Jewish agitation for being accepted into western mainstream society without actually having to assimilate to western social expectations, except perhaps superficially.
By no means do I defend the Medieval Church to which Jews objected so much. That creature was simply another result along the extended path of conquest by deception that Jews have followed since Christ. The compromise of organized Christian religion with pagan government in the Fourth Century was a result of the Judaizer influence staring back in the First Century. Jews have never let up. If you bother to look into the subject of who in European history were Jews or crypto-Jews working in government, academia and banking, you’ll find their fingerprints on vast trends.
Before that, the history of Israel is a long, sad tale of a people adopted by God as His own household, but who seldom managed to actually embrace the Covenant that gave them their identity. Few and brief were the periods when someone with true faith drove them to a simulacrum of faithfulness so that God could show His powerful miracles in that nation. His prophets warned that He had been far too indulgent with them.
At some point their rejection of the Covenant resulted in God disowning them. It should be clear to anyone that much of what Jesus taught points out how Judaism was inherently a rejection of Moses. It hijacked Moses’ words and authority, but rejected the Hebrew mystical ways. The leadership had worked hard to enslave the Judean peasants to their hedonistic brand of religion. Jesus said they worshiped Mammon, a reference to fleshly comforts, turning away from the otherworldly orientation of Moses.
At the Last Supper, Jesus declared the Old Covenant translated into a New Covenant in His blood sacrifice. All the ancient Hebrew ways were brought forward into the new path of the Cross. There is a very strong continuity between the Old and New Covenants. What was thrown away completely was the human national identity. There can be no earthly nation of Israel; that name now belongs to a spiritual nation of hearts. Just as the Pharisees had turned the Covenant identity into an ethnic identity, so Jesus reasserted that ethnicity is meaningless in the Holy Spirit. “God can raise up from these stones children to Abraham!”
We reject Judaism and rightly call it the Synagogue of Satan. They are quite the opposite from what it meant to be Hebrew and the meaning of the name Israel. All the promises of the Old Testament came to fulfillment in Jesus. But you must know that following Him means we must become what the Jews refused to be: We must be a spiritual nation of hearts walking in Hebrew mysticism. We must fulfill the Covenant teaching of Christ, because that is our only identity. We must make Jesus our feudal Master and be His tribe. We have no other loyalty.
You cannot really be an American patriot unless you reject the Kingdom of Heaven.
What is the Kingdom of Heaven to you? Is it a fruitopia millenial reign? Going to heaven? A certain denomination? A meditative state?
The term is inherently mystical; it refers to a spiritual entity. I’m not a Dispensationalist, so it has nothing to do with a literal millennial reign. However, the Kingdom of Heaven can be manifested here in human space. That would kind of the point Jesus was making in His teaching. He used parables because the whole issue was that it’s not an intellectual question, but a moral one. It requires you be led by your heart, not your head.
Do I have to explain the Hebrew symbolism of the heart, versus the western nonsense?
“We must make Jesus our feudal Master and be His tribe. We have no other loyalty.”
True words. There is only ONE Lord and Master. All else is foolishness and of the enemy.
