So Should You

Human politics is not a driving force, not a cause; it is a consequence.

There may be more elections in the US. They won’t change anything that matters. No one is riding to the rescue; no human agent is appointed by God to restore some vision of peace and prosperity. There is no great revival of truth coming from human political affairs. All that you see is coming down from a far higher level of power, and it is designed to deceive. The thesis of the Unseen Realm should have locked that down for you already. The only way to understand what is happening in politics, economics, social movements, etc., is to have some way of sensing what God and the powers of Heaven are doing.

If God does not grant you some spiritual gift for seeing what is happening in His courts, then you are left to extrapolate from your convictions. Be very careful in doing so. What God requires of you is for His glory, not for your information, not to satisfy your curiosity about things. You should not imagine He won’t lead you into conflict with others He has called. Such conflict would be the context in which you demonstrate how God wants you to do things. The Scripture is loaded with instruction on handling conflicts because they are part of our human existence. His ways are inscrutable; you know only what He reveals to you. The issue with convictions is clarity for your choices in the context, not necessarily as guidance for anyone else.

I profess to you that my spiritual gifts are limited; they fit my mission. Today my mission is to remind you that what we are seeing is much more than simply a matter of cyclical human behavior at large. The cycles of human politics are in there, but there’s more to it. God has decreed destruction for Western Civilization as a whole. What happens in the US is just a small part of that.

The Enemy of Faith offers everything that’s got a name in order to keep the Elect in slavery. Don’t be a fool.

Reminder: Not a single government on this earth is under any covenant with God. There is no human political, economic or social activity that reflects His will for us. He does not interact with human events at large as Father, but as Judge. Any protection or anointing on public figures is wholly conditional based on the temporary usefulness of the person or thing. They are just tools, not His family. Your allegiance and support should be only provisional.

Yes, I will assert that this is true of Israel, as well. That government is already fracturing, and the mess is only beginning. Eschatological hopes for modern Israel are sheer folly; there is nothing covenantal about what’s going on there. Whatever vision of redemption you might be looking for is not there. It’s just a giant lie of Satan. Stay out of the way; we have no authority to change the situation.

I’m not saying, “Don’t get involved.” That would be silly. Rather, I’m saying don’t invest yourself into any of this. It is nothing more than a mixture of opportunities to testify. Otherwise, it is all meaningless chaos. Turmoil, tribulation and chaos is the only meaningful prediction anyone can make. Human wisdom can probably detect certain trends and outcomes, but the core meaning of what is happening is rooted in Heaven.

In Heaven, God has loosed the Watcher spirits, the Nephilim and their allies to deceive and destroy. Events at large will remain unpredictable to humans unless/until God commissions a prophet to warn about specifics. This would be someone who has been stood before the Council in Heaven as His anointed spokesman. I’m quite convinced there is no such person right now. There are only servants of the Lord with a very limited grasp of what is happening, and I’m the least of them.

I’m not going to tell you, “Thus saith the Lord.” All I can tell is what my convictions say to me. They are informed by my best effort to understand His Word in its own context. I stand on my commission to warn the Elect that an apocalypse is here. The Spirit should make that obvious to anyone who pays attention.

Basic principle: Our Lord is not working with large human structures. From the Cross onward, He works primarily in small communities. That’s where you’ll see His face. He will be absent from large crowds. So should you.
