If the Rapture occurs? THAT blink of an eye?
No, in that case almost all hope is gone here on the earth. We could go a while on that topic, but no. I mean that the culture can easily turn on a dime, back to what is the American norm. It can happen.
I will hilariously offer 'Bud Light' as an example toward hope. No, seriously. it is both incredibly funny and somehow apropos that it took 'messin with our beer' to move the spirit of Men to simultaneously reject the culture being imposed... And women followed suit - There's a thing there, that it takes men to lead - But the women followed suit with Target.
The impact of that, with no 'movement' leading it, is still rippling through the halls of power. That was no leader... In fact your boy is on the wrong side of all that.. That was The People, plain as day.
Meanwhile, the real solution is for Americans to reject the SOVIET UNION'S definition of "Separation of Church and State", which JFK and his commie Warren SCotUS forced onto us from 1960-1962.
Return to the pre-1962 AMERICAN definition of "Separation"; as so clearly defined by Jefferson, in which the People are vigiliant to keep the STATE from over-riding, censoring, and lording it over The Church.
Accepted, heartily, with emphasis. But that is written. I am speaking to soul. It don't matter what is written if the law is ignored. And we are a lawful people. We WANT law and order (myself somewhat excepted as a product of the holler). But it is long past time to stop listening to the letter of the law and start listening to the prophets.
People have a Gandalf-ian view of what a prophet is. That ain't altogether right. They come with miracles to show they come with the authority of Yah, but that ain't the point. They come to stand in the breach. they come to tell the people the difference between the law of Yah and the traditions of Men, when the written 'law' of men has transgressed the Law of Yah.
But first, stumbling America would have to understand and quit listening to the laws of the churches and see the prophet... Because the churches have long ago written the prophet off.
Old Ezekiel is laying naked in the streets, building his sand castles and cooking his dinner on shit, and the churches of America will lift their skirts so as not to dirty themselves as they sidle around him.
And that right there is where the rubber is hitting the road.
"I sought for the key to the greatness of America in her harbors...; in her fertile fields and boundless forests; in her rich mines and vast world commerce; in her public school system and institutions of learning. I sought for it in her democratic Congress and in her matchless Constitution. Not until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits aflame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power. America is great because America is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great." -Alexis de Tocqueville Prime example: Government classifying all churches as 501(c)3 non-profits, right alongside Planned Parenthood and every other far-left loon organization you can imagine.
MORE than that, the CONTROL the government exercises AGAINST 503c churches... Speech is curtailed at the pulpit. THAT's the money shot.
Also LBJ's 1953-era legislation mandating that Christian pastors cannot discuss anything "political" from the pulpit without losing their 501(c)3 status....why is THAT monstrosity still on the books and being (selectively) enforced over 70 years later?
There it is. Big-ass YUP.
We could go on and on.
Yes in fact we could. Simpatico. This is a sweet tea on the porch discussion, and it would take gallons.
The OLD Soviet Union died in 1991.
The NEW Soviet Union--which we in what was once called "America" have long lived in---is still alive and....well, NOT doing so fine.
It's dying, also.
Like the Old Soviet Union, we are running out of other people's money to spend...
You ain't wrong, but it goes so much deeper than that, dude. But remember the wheat and the tare. They grow together in the same field. This ain't a new Communist Soviet Union. This ain't the fourth Reich rising (though it is both). This is Babylon, all over again, again.
If you want to see the truth of it, read the testimony of Ray Ray LaVey, and the church pastor that helped her get away from her father into the saving grace of Yeshua.
That battle, by that one horse little church, all alone in the desert will show you a battle that most churches are not ready to even recognize. But it's surely coming. To us all.
Meanwhile, get back to me if you can ever unbrainwash Americans into rejecting all the Communist propaganda concerning "Separation of church and state" they were force-fed inside their government-run schools from k-12...
Like I said... It can turn on a dime. And in that I hold out hope. Not in the like of any political messiah.
We need revival. That comes of the Spirit, not from politics. And oddly, Bud Light, the bellwether.
