This is a matter of convictions, not a Word from God. The only way you should take it as a Word is if it rings a bell in your convictions, too. Obey your convictions, not my ruminations. This is a prophetic time, and God is choosing mostly to work through the subtle means of convictions that bring us together. I’m doing my best to make sense of those convictions in concrete terms. I’m driven by a desire to protect the covenant community.
I’m convinced the time has come for the US to be destroyed. As far as I can tell, my convictions indicate that it will be this calendar year. Not that it will be finished this year, but the final breakdown will become obvious to most people starting this year, most likely in conjunction with the national elections.
My flesh is not eager for the turmoil, but my heart knows it has to come. My heart is eager to see God glorified, whether by His wrath or blessings. This stuff is going to hurt.
The federal government will come apart and everyone like me who receives federal benefits will lose all them. Some state governments will make an effort to replace parts of that system, but a lot of seniors and other federal dependents will be cast adrift to survive on their own in various ways. Meanwhile, interstate commerce will become very confused. Internet business will suddenly face a plethora of new government policies from the states, or more likely, regional coalitions of state governments.
It will be one whale of rough ride, a real adventure. If you don’t like that kind of thing, it’s best you make all kinds of prepper moves to avoid the effects. I trust the hand of my God to provide what I really need. I’m already near the bottom of the economic system, so there’s not much prepping I could do, but I’m doing what I can. I’ll just have to take what comes and let my Father choose what I must endure.
We must have a destroyer, someone who will provoke a massive social and political conflict, someone who is reckless and willing to disrupt. Trump is a very good candidate for that mission. If not Trump, then someone else who will rise up, a proverbial bomb-thrower, someone who doesn’t hesitate to push the boundaries. This system cannot be saved; it is rigged for detonation. We need someone to push the button, to cross that final boundary that will trigger the conflict that will divide the nation.
This must come.
Do you understand that when God comes to visit, it’s a two-edged sword? Whatever He does is always in our best interest. The issue is getting ourselves into the flow of His work, and to learn to love His ways for the sake of shalom. His wrath is just one of His Sword; blessings for His children are the other edge. What destroys sin blesses us. Learn to identify His wrath on sin a blessing for yourself. His power and presence is a mark of favor on us, no matter what it does to those who refuse His covering.
Yes, every human action at large is a reflection of conflict in the Spirit Realm. The political shifts you see are the work of beings in the Spirit Realm; humans are merely the tools. There is a great evil afoot, but that doesn’t mean it’s opposed by good. What we see is more often two evil forces manipulating humans against each other because those spiritual forces are trying to destroy us. In that sense, the Trump Machine is indeed being used by dark forces against humanity. But so is the opposition. It’s just two flavors of evil offering a false dichotomy.
God’s aim is not to win through the election process of fallen humans who ignore His Word. Nothing from either side glorifies His name. The glory of the Lord points human attention to the Spirit Realm, not to the mess here in a world slated for destruction. Our fight is not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces.
If you have a mind for it, you will see that the turmoil of tribulation and apocalypse will be a rich opportunity for us to glorify His name by pointing more clearly to that Spirit Realm. We have work to do, and the only valid “prep” is for this mission.
On a practical note: I’ve long said that the biggest threat to this blog and the Radix Fidem ministry is Zionism. When the globalists are slapped aside, the slapping will be performed by Zionists. There are precious few in government who are not sold out totally to one agenda or the other. Most of those resisting both are being held back, kept at the lower levels of political activity.
I’ve already mentioned that the one saving grace of Christian Reconstruction is their anti-Dispie position. They constitute a large portion of Christian Nationalists, who are divided on this question. Keep in mind that the globalists do not distinguish Radix Fidem from Christian Nationalism. They will handle us the same. The issue is that our ability to associate online is likely to be taken away because the globalist want to shut us up on one principle, while the rising Zionists will do it for another reason.
I’m convinced the Zionists will have one last hurrah in politics before Israel is destroyed. That last hurrah will include kicking Radix Fidem off the Net. Not all of us individually; too much of what governments large and small do relies on the Internet. Rather, the community will have great difficulty using the Net to communicate. Unless something arises that allows networking without exposure on the Internet (as currently defined), we will all be spun off on our own. But it will affect a lot of other people. I suspect that another form of networking will arise, but I have no firm image of what that would be. It will come from outsiders in the technology community who are unwilling to be silenced that way. If they do, it won’t likely be consumer friendly.
Be ready to lose a significant amount of freedom of communication; it’s coming.

One last thing: God’s sense of timing is nothing like ours. He’s aware of ours, but the timing of things from our perspective has seldom been a significant element in His agenda. Our insatiable demand for knowing when is frankly childish compared to biblical maturity.
It’s an adventure, isn’t it? We know how it will all end up, too, but how we get there is something else.
