Kings and Elections

One year ago in my May newsletter article I wrote, “This year (2024) has been widely proclaimed to be the year of elections, with national elections expected in at least 64 countries. This means that half of the world’s population will have the opportunity to change their government” That was written in early 2024.

As we know now a year later, what actually happened nobody could have predicted. Not to be political, but our elections brought complete shock and awe around the world. The USA would take center stage when all was said and done, and the dust settled on 2024.

Based on recent history of the globalist elite, it was anticipated around the world that the political Marxist left would continue it’s gains as election after election occurred. But that’s not what happened in one significant election--ours.

(Relax, this is not going to be partisan. As a pastor, I realize that we all may not agree on traditional politics. We pastors are prodded from all directions to be more vocal on issues. I don’t take a political stand, but I do take a stand on biblical issues.) So my statement is this, it’s not inaccurate or an overstatement to acknowledge that leftists and even Marxists have taken over one side of the political spectrum in the west—that includes Europe and the North America.

What is behind all this? We call this movement worldwide Globalism. It is also known as the new world order, or the great reset. Going back about ten years ago, we can document a more aggressive turn in their agenda. Major components were a whole vocabulary of new terms and acronyms. Terms and abreviations we did not make up, nor are familiar with. Probably the most common now is “woke”. But there are many others that have been thrown around to intimidate as they communicate their new vocabulary.

The motivation and incentive behind this radical agenda is the threat of imminent crises such as pandemics, climate catastrophe. Another motivation is so called justice and human rights, immigration, the flow of people, an anti-nationalism spirit, (hence globalism), and equality.

Note these are all noble and legitimate challenges, though we may not agree on their threat level. With justice and human rights they can bandwagon with the liberal church, and they have.

But these things are all excuses that these warriors use to exercise control over what other people think and say. They use “virtues” such as justice and even love to justify dramatic overreaches of control. They use disease and pandemics, along with the fear which goes along with it to justify strict limitations over behavior—remember the lockdowns? The “D” in Diversity Equity and Inclusion standing primarily for unrestricted (illegal) immigration, and the removal of borders. And there are dozens serious public and private policy issues awaiting in line.

One last example is their willingness to sacrifice freedoms, like freedom of speech to preserve their narrative. Remember the “C” words, conspiracy or consensus. Both are argued over in a tug of war over information. In spite of all this, it is however no new revelation to serious Bible readers and people of faith, that God is in control—another “C” word. But prior to that another will attempt complete control—the anti-christ or beast of Revelation 13.

This is serious folks. We cannot take this lightly. Other examples that were derailed because of the November election results: the fateful year 2030 Climate change deadlines”, the WHO Pandemic treaty signed by many world leaders, giving away our sovereignty in another “health emergency”.

We need to observe what is happening in France, Germany and the UK. I don’t think this is an overstatement, had things gone differently here in the US back in November, that we would have led the world into complete and total globalism.

We are seeing very graphically the power and influence of one world leader. Trump is already hailed as the anti-christ by some. No one denies his questionable past. But as long as he supports the Bible, Israel, and biblical truths that accusation doesn’t stand. Bill Maher, comedian, and political commentator is calling for a Democratic Donald Trump. Many will heed that call.

There is always a pendulum swing, and if a Democratic, i.e. a leftist/Marxist “Trump” arises, and he will, watch out. The Bible predicts just that eventually. The question is when. Having studied and written about these things over the last 10 years, I suggest that what is taking place now is a pause between the birth pains. The enemy will come roaring back, and things will be much worse. That is certainly prophecied in the long term, but what if we are there right now? I believe we are in those days.

We need to do two things, we need to take advantage of the opportunity before us, for the spreading of the Gospel. Second, we need to look at our allies like those in the UK who are under the heel of globalists and take note. We are under a reprieve. So we need to prepare the ship during the sunny weather for the inevitable storms ahead.

Will America be great again? That depends upon the pulpits. It depends upon the churches. This is a spiritual battle. We live in a world where change can happen overnight, and the enemy is held in check by God.

Psalm 45:6- “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; a Scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom.” (see also Heb 1:8), and another, Psalm 47:8- “God reigns over the nations; God sits on His holy throne.”

“And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them;” (Rev 20:4)

Rev 22:1,3 “And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb...And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him.”

This was my closing paragraph one year ago and it is still true…

“And no matter what leaders are elected this year, or any other, this is still the ultimate truth.”

“Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” (Phil 2:9-11)

That’s my view two cents
