Bruce Jenner. Bill Clinton. Donald Trump. America.
Rebels come and rebels go.
Wannabe empires rise and fall.
The Kingdom of God advances over and through ’em all, building on the smoldering ruins they leave behind after breaking themselves upon the unbreakable Law of the Christ that they will not have to rule over them.
So don’t let the decidedly Twilight Zone-ish American culture get you down in any inappropriate way, and by “inappropriate” here I mean skipping over the “Twilight” part of our (temporarily) Twilight Zone reality.
The rebellion of men and women who will not have Christ to rule over them as Lord is in its twilight.
The craziness of a culture gone mad with self-centered, emotion-driven feelings over thought is in its twilight.
The suicidal stupidity of pursuing law, art, economics, education and everything else as though these things are not the God-defined, God-sustained, God-owned things that they are is an approach to reality that is in its twilight.
This Twilight Zone is ending, and soon…but not before God uses its each and every shift and action to perfectly accomplish His purposes on His schedule.
The bad guys (and crazy guys) may seem to be winning for a season, and that season may go on, as it has in history, for hundreds of years before the gig is up and the whole lawless cultural construct they craft comes crashing down, but, make no mistake: It is coming crashing down.
The LGBTQ movement will ultimately be crushed and dispensed within time and space right here on God’s green earth.
The massive welfare dependence and perpetual warfare machines funded by the evil of fiat currency so that the Corporate/State can dominate the masses is a system that will be driven down into the dust over time right here on God’s earth.
Christ-ignoring approaches to government, law, education, economics and art will each be ground under the heel of His judgment over the course of His creation of time and within His creation of space.
These things will happen as the Twilight Zone inevitably gives way to the undeniable, unstoppable march of the Kingdom of God.
Here’s how we elaborated on this important (and inspiring) truth back in January of 2016 in an article entitled The Kingdom of God vs. The (Collapsing) Empire of America:
For those of us who truly love America and love Americans, this is a very challenging and critical time. It has never been more vital that we lovingly confront and correct the State-as-messiah counterfeit gospel that has come to define our culture through generations of State-run “education” and Corporate-directed pop-culture programming. It has never been more important to torch the curtains hiding the little men who would be gods that are operating the fictional political and economic constructs that are being used to perpetuate our bondage by keeping us focused on anything but Christ as the solution to all that ails us.
The American State is being held high as our savior.
The American State is being embraced as the educator of our children.
The American State is being promoted as the author and sustainer of our freedom, liberty, law, and security.
The American State is being championed as a “shining city on a hill” example for the world to follow in embracing the “right” to openly worship false gods, the “right” to porn, the “right” to “gay marriage”, the “right” to adultery-centered businesses, and the “right” to child sacrifice for convenience.
The American State has perverted and corrupted the concepts of law, liberty, freedom, and life itself as no other people before…all while claiming the status of “Christian nation” and stamping “in God we trust” on the fake money it manufactures out of thin air to control and enslave people and cultures not only at home, but across the globe.
The American State is being exalted as our god in practice if not in title…though the title will inevitably follow once the practice runs its course.
The good news is this: The Author, Definer, and Sustainer of law, family, gender, marriage, economics, civil government, and life itself will not have it.
He will not tolerate its evil indefinitely.
He will not allow its prideful march to continue for much longer.
He will not allow it to continue its use of black magic fiat economics to enslave the masses and empower an anti-Christian elite (many of whom claim to be Christians, of course).
He will not allow the temples (some call them “schools”) of the American State to continue “educating” children in accordance with a philosophy of the pursuit of knowledge lifted directly from the serpent’s tongue in Eden (and subsequently found in the tenth plank of The Communist Manifesto).
He will not allow the beast of the American State to pillage the institutions of family and marriage indefinitely.
He will not allow the mass murder of baby boys and girls in openly operating, “legally” protected child-butchering facilities to go on for much longer.
He will not allow America to continue.
He will bring it to an end; an end that will demonstrate once again the unbreakable nature of His Law in, over, and throughout every part and aspect of His creation.
The Republican Party, Pagan Conservatism, and Donald Trump cannot “Make America Great Again”, regardless of what Rush Limbaugh or Fox News might tell you.
Apart from repentance and submission to Christ as King in practice and in detail in every realm of life, the American Empire is coming down hard…and we as Christians shouldn’t want it any other way. (For more on this critical and beautiful truth, please read Roaring into Post-America Christianity.)
The land under each and every American’s feet belongs to Him.
The air above that land and the oceans that surround it belong to Him.
The law, economics, arts, and education that Americans pervert so arrogantly and routinely belong to Him.
Even now, the wrath of God is pouring out upon a proud an unrepentant “We the People” of America. Even now, the great opportunity to repent, believe, and be saved is being extended. But that extension of grace will not go on forever.
America came and America will go, perhaps quite soon by the look of things at this particular moment.
But the Kingdom of God will endure forever, conquering and reconciling every corner of creation, taking every thought and practice captive to Christ.
The Gospel-fueled Great Commission will triumph in the land presently known as America…and everywhere else.
Every knee will bow to King Jesus.
Every tongue will confess the majesty and beauty of the Lord.
So get with the unstoppable, inevitable, and unavoidable program, America…while you have the chance.
Yeah, it’s crazy now and seems to be getting crazier by the minute. But this insanity won’t go on forever…or even for much longer in the grand scheme of things.
The end is definitely near where our Twilight Zone culture is concerned. As the Kingdom of God advances, it will inevitably fade into its twilight.
So let’s do what we can to help push it over that cliff, okay?
All by God’s grace, all for His glory, and all to the eternal benefit of His people.
