Don't be deceived; nothing that humans build outside the Covenant can bless anyone.
I get a lot of private chatter about the alleged "good news" we see of lawsuits, legislative actions, court rulings, and executive pronouncements that indicate our political situation isn't completely screwed up. We also hear about private or corporate moves that indicate that society isn't completely lost in wokism. If your hope is in such things, you are doomed.
The only good news is the gospel of Jesus Christ and His covenant. Everything else is a lie of Satan. Anything that claims to change this world is his infernal handiwork, deceiving the Elect about what really matters.
Look folks, globalism is going to dominate right up to the moment it is about to win, and then it will fall apart. It's already pretty shaky. What will we lose on the way to that moment? An Anglo-American culture from pagan roots that uses Jesus as a paint-job to cover up how evil it is. I realize you probably happen to like the so-called American liberty mythology, but it was fake from the beginning. It's based on the Enlightenment, which was an attack on the Church. But the Church was a political entity that grew from a disastrous moral and spiritual compromise that began just one generation after the last Apostle died.
It's not that I promote hatred for the US flag and all it supposedly represents. It's pity -- I pity the futility of thinking something man made can compare to Christ. If the best you know about Christ is through the organized religious system, you don't know Him at all. So, be respectful toward the flag and the agents of government, regardless whether they are "good" or "bad" by any human definition. But don't make the mistake of thinking that there is something good here that warrants salvaging.
We don't rise up to crush anything. Human action against perceived evils is a waste of energy. The weapons for our warfare are spiritual, and we march against dark powers, not their human lackeys. If something big and powerful hinders our divine calling and mission, we trust in the Lord and move the mountains in faith and prayer. Do you understand that when Jesus cracked that whip, it was under the Covenant? It fell into His domain as granted by the Father. That's the model. He didn't take political action, but prophetic action. It wasn't intended to change the situation by force, but to register with them the Father's condemnation. What He did wasn't inherently illegal but certainly risky. (It was actually a recognized form of protest; Jesus was not the first to do something like that.) But it was under the Covenant.
Within the Covenant boundaries, you and I possess a valid political authority over human behavior. When you are in the role of head of household (elder, chief, king, or other covering authority), you hold valid human authority based on Covenant covering over those who submit. In the case of Jesus, He was asserting Messianic authority as King, something that should have been recognized based on the Covenant. That it was not recognized by those in authority before Him was a separate matter. In theory, they were all under the authority of the Covenant kingdom, and He was acting within that authority. Today, we don't have anything resembling that, except in the tiny contexts here and there of men ruling over a covenant household.
The US is not a Covenant nation by any definition. Nothing done under the American flag is covered by the Covenant. Instead, it's all under Satan's dominion. If you've gotten comfortable with any part of our national history, you need to reevaluate. You should feel like an alien visitor. Some things may be salutary, but none of this is "home" for us. Our Home is in Heaven. If you don't feel alienated, you aren't a Covenant believer.
Yes, the current ruling regime here is awful. They hate us and want us dead. I mean that quite literally. But they are not your enemy in the sense of coming after you for your faith. In their reckoning, we are just flakes of weirdness mixed in with what they consider their real problem. They are attacking a weaker political and cultural enemy, not Covenant faith. Yes, all of this is based on the plotting and planning of Jewish leadership, who themselves are deceived about what really matters in the first place. It's just one ethnic group against others, seeking a dominance that Satan promised they could have. And it's a lie. But in pursuit of that, they are destroying something that should not hold our loyalty, because it's not from Christ.
They are all forces caught up in a false war for human dominance in a fallen world. It's not our concern. There will come a day when some evil will rise that deserves the label Antichrist. It will be a genuine global government, something we don't have right now. That entity will have a laser focus on genuine Covenant faith. That day is still far away. The current ruling regimes could not build a single government; they lack the means. This kind of thing will almost certainly wait for another round of civilization to arise after the coming solar catastrophes.
Thus, a major element in our Covenant mission is to build up a lore of faith that recognizes and keeps track of the real threat. It's not as if there is no one out there that hates genuine faith, but that they do not rule human government. The Bible hints that the greatest threat to genuine heart-ruled faith is something very close but fake. We need to be able to recognize that threat when it starts to show itself. And the best way to recognize a counterfeit is to know the genuine article so well that any deviation stands out clearly. It's a big job, because we've got way too many Elect folk all entangled in something that isn't a solid and clear faith; they don't walk in the Covenant.
I don't promote the pagan silliness of New Year's resolutions, but I do promote a resolve to walk in Covenant faith any time of the year that it starts to drive you. In that sense, now is as good a time as any. Ditch the false hopes of political and social betterment.
