In fact... my somewhat wry mind (but that does help my creativity a bit, and in fact I find God Himself has a wry sense of humor) says... hmmm... standards... what are they originally... flags... yeah let’s flag um down....
Or, when the power of darkness comes in like a flood, the Lord will raise up a “standard” (again in the sense of a flag, to rally around in this case).
Tell our dear liberals to revere the Prince of Peace, and use their great liberal advertising powers to try to persuade everyone else to do the same, and sure ‘nuff, we’ll then get lots of peace!
Well, there is a case in the Bible for exile to Babylon encouraged by the prophets themselves because it was the only way to teach Israel its errors, sending it back to Egypt.
I definitely think that the liberal parts of America should be seceded or treated differently. They clearly have lost their rights and due process would show that. However to make it PC or satisfy political greed, those new slave states are at it again, claiming “Southern Independence” when in fact they want hegemony.
