Today's conservative, optimistic ideal cannot support the excessive weight of the current crises and realities at hand. This fact must be recognized and accepted by the conservative right in this country. The current crises are reaching gigantic proportions - both nationally and globally. The good intentions and well wishes of this flawed ideology (Conservative optimism) has had its place in the past, but now in light of the global climate affected by ever-increasing human depravity, it is but a “spider’s web” of hope and a delusional lie and refuge in which many are holding on to (Job 8:14). For harnessing the unbridled passions of fallen humanity (i.e., the opening of “Pandora’s Box"), there is nothing to do to bring them back again. Pandora’s Box was cracked open at the Fall of Man in Eden’s Garden (Genesis 3), but since the 60’s the lid has been completely removed. In this outworking of lawlessness, this movement has corrupted and contaminated the United States and the whole earth (Matt 24:12; 1 Tim. 4:1-2; 2 Tim. 3:1-7).
It is a delusional lie and refuge in which many are holding on to!
As Conservatives and patriotic Americans, we must “face the music” and look to a more sound and sure foundation than an optimistic philosophy filled with good intentions and false hopes. We must ABANDON these false hopes and expectations and, as our Founding Fathers once did, place our firm reliance upon Almighty God in Spirit and Truth (John 4:24)
The good intentions and well wishes of this flawed ideology (Conservative optimism) has had its place in the past, but now in light of the global climate affected by ever-increasing human depravity, it is but a “spider’s web” of hope.
Conservative optimism - or any other false appraisal of a crisis situation - can never replace the sound, sure foundation of reality. Almighty God and His Word are indeed reality (Matt. 7:24-27).
Almighty God states: "Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: Who hath declared this from ancient time? Who hath told it from that time? Have not I the LORD? And there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me. Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else" (Isaiah 45:21-22).
If Conservatives were only as objective and fact-finding about Almighty God and His Word as they are about all other subjects, they would see the big picture and would comprehend what has been transpiring, the current trends, and where these will lead us.
The Bible states: "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places" (Eph. 6:12).
The current events and political and social trends at hand are far greater than we could ever imagine. Prophetically speaking, we are now positioned in the time leading up to the great climactic outworking of history: the War of all the Ages with Lucifer and his demonic horde pitted against the Eternal Sovereignty and Reign of Almighty God (Isaiah 14:12-17, Ezekiel 28:12-19).
We are globally positioned at the very door of the Global Catastrophes of the last days (Isaiah 24:1-20; Joel 2:10; Matt. 24; Rev. 8 & 16); Anti-Christ’s 3½-year reign of global tyranny (Dan. 7:8, 24-26; 2 Thess. 2:3-12; Rev. 13); the Battle of Armageddon (Zech. 14:1-3; Rev. 16:13-16); and Jesus Christ’s Glorious Second Coming to reign and rule on earth for 1000 years (Dan. 2:44-45; 7:13-14, 22; Matt. 24:30; Rev.11:15-16; 19:11-16).
True Optimism
Conservative ideologies and all other human ideologies will have to yield to the absolute righteousness and perfection demanded by Almighty God. No human ideology or philosophy can ever produce or bring about this required righteousness and righteous environment. All will be required to know and worship Almighty God in Spirit and Truth (Reality) - Isaiah 65:16, John: 4:24. The delusional imaginations of man will be forever removed, and all will worship and honor Almighty God for who He Is (Exodus 3:13-15), whether in Heaven above or in Hell below. (Romans 14:11; Philip. 2:10-11). Link
Have Faith in Almighty God!
Having faith in Almighty God (Mark 11:22) and a healthy, Biblical optimism based on reality is the only sure hope for the Conservative today. The only true optimist is a Biblical realist.
In these ever-trying and exponentially-changing times, may you put aside your optimistic ideals for this present world to place your Faith and Trust in the only SURE FOUNDATION and SOUND HOPE there is, namely, the REALITY of Almighty God and His Word (Psalm 119:89, 160; Isaiah 40:8; Matt. 24:35, 1 Peter 1:25).
The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!!
My dear friend....
Lol… Blah, Blah Blah... You sound like Charlie Brown’s teacher or parents when they would speak. My dear friend you cannot be this clueless and delusional? You must have just gotten on board the political band wagon of late. The fight is as a fight until there is no more… but again if you read the full post and put down the “optimistic kool aid and took a swig from reality and the overwhelming EXPONENTIAL evidence of our hour you would have understood the “objective” point of view of the post.
There are no more magic ponies, cotton candy clouds, gum drop mountains, good luck fairies and fruit punch rivers my friend in America no matter who is preaching it in the New Media. La-La land optimism has had its curtain pulled back and the jig is up son.
Reality and objective assessment is not quitting and conceding but getting ready for the end. Remember Arthur Neville Chamberlain claims then… 50 million deaths later. We are at the end my friend and the sooner you open your eye the better
My dear friend, I hope you get your head out of your la-la land delusion and join the realists of America then when we fall as a nation you will not be surprised and in full panic. (Prov. 1:21-33). May it be so!
The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
My friend, Darkness is a safe place to live in is it not? (John 3:19-21)
In the Word’s of Peter and Paul..
1 Thess. 5:3, 2 Peter 3:3-4
Stay thirsty my friend... (optimistic Kool aid) with no reality chaser.
Caesar is due an ass kicking, and it’s our job to see he gets what he’s owed.
I have faith in a lot of things, but no more than my God and Father and his Son.
You might be in the clouds my friend, but my feet are firmly planted as is my faith and optimism.
“Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.”(Romans 5:1)
Psm 23:1 The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
yef, am sorry I missed your post the other day, it was right on point, dead on.
IgFisherman, take note. You choose to look at things negatively. You can also choose to look at life in a more postive way. Your choice my FRiend.
No Siree I don’t remember doodly squat from 1938.
I know lots of realists and you are no realist, just a pessimist. A realist would know that America has had lots of ups and downs and this down does not compare to a few other down times I could point out.
Now that’s the last I was have to say. Have you a bright optimistic day.
Thanks my friend for your reply. In light of our day... I think I do look at things from a positive perspective from God’s Word. That is the most objective and positive way I truly believe.
I.F.
