If you are worried about eavesdropping and privacy, you are living on the wrong planet. At this time in human history, communications have never been more free, nor so easily snooped. It's a blessing and a curse.
Let me share a vision: This blog represents the research effort for restoring the Covenant of Christ to human awareness. Our community does not claim to be the only one doing this, but that we are definitely on that track. I'll be the first to say that the details aren't the point; our brand is not the only one God sponsors. Rather, it is taking the question seriously that really matters, because that question was set aside centuries ago.
The full meaning of the Covenant for our time and place should be a primary concern. The Covenant is living and active, cutting like a two-edged sword. It discerns the truth in any context. We can discuss the manifestations, but the nature of the Covenant is ineffable. Your brain cannot grasp it; only your heart can truly understand. Our community exists to explore what it means and come up with a core of teaching that fits our context.
As it currently exists, our community and our allies out there have been tasked with digging up the ruins and restoring the structure. Somewhere ahead of us remains a servant of God called to publicize this thing. We are not that good at publicity; it is not our calling to engage whatever mechanism it takes to get the wider public attention. We aren't hiding anything, but we also are not called to do the publicity. God will appoint someone else to carry that load. Whether that servant is near or far, we have been told to wait for them to appear. Right now, our efforts will remain rather obscure. God is going to raise up another Paul, as it were, someone God has prepared to carry the Word across the world.
Meanwhile, we endure the early stages of persecution. It's not only censorship of this blog; we have noticed the signatures of eavesdropping on our community communications. The other day, we discovered quite by accident that our Sunday Skype fellowship was being tapped. At first, it sounded like clumsy wiretapping (don't ask me how I know), but upon reflection, that isn't necessary. It turns out that Skype isn't very secure in the first place, and it's not that hard to simply join the conversation without any of us knowing it. In this case, the eavesdropper suffered a device malfunction that made a scratching noise we could all hear, but that could not be explained by anyone's actions on their own device.
On top of that, we have one member with the gift of discerning spirits, and during that brief moment, they had a vision of a demon deeply frustrated that it was not allowed to get involved. Apparently this creature was working with the human doing the eavesdropping, and we are pretty sure the human was not aware of that. What appeared a mere technological glitch for them was actually the hand of God exposing the efforts of both.
We have Covenant covering, and the gifts of the Spirit are ours. Scoff if you will, but we believe this. We would hardly promote this as proof that we are doing God's work. We see no need to prove it to anyone else. Rather, we see it as taking flak because we are over the target. Further, we see it as the futility of flak against our God's protection. It gives us confidence to keep moving forward.
The human enemies we face have changed tactics with the new administration. In times past our blogs faced a bunch of sock-puppets pretending to be sympathetic to the message, but trying to disrupt the message and steer us into expressing things that would justify actions by law enforcement. It was rather like Judaizers infiltrating the early churches in the Mediterranean Basin. That seems to have faded now in favor of changing the definition of what is illegal. Not that we are so significant, but this is what we face from a far bigger project of oppression.
Maybe you've heard reports that Trump is talking about sending US troops to occupy Gaza and expel the Palestinians into other lands. Naturally, we see a lot wrong with that. Not because we care much about Palestinians, but we see such close cooperation with Israel to be a demonic trap writ large. We aren't concerned with the question of political legitimacy for Zionism; we say it's theologically wicked. By no means do we advocate any form of activism against the US involvement in Zionism. We simply present the biblical truth that there is no earthly Israel in God's eternal plans. The Cross ended the Covenant of Moses. Dispensationalism is a lie from Hell.
How the Zionists intend to come after us is not yet clear, but that they will is not in doubt. They will keep snooping via various agents, both public and private, and will run into a Covenant hedge. It will take time. It's a bureaucratic program that will seize the low-hanging fruit first. They'll get to us eventually, and we intend to see it through, whatever the outcomes. That we must continue is also not in doubt.
