American’t: From Midterms to End Times
American Thinker ^ | 11/19/2018 | Selwyn Duke

Truly great disasters come like a thief in the night. How many foresaw Rome’s sacking in 410 A.D., her collapse 66 years later, WWI or WWII? As for today, how many see that the United States is at what some call a tipping point, what others may call a Fourth Turning? Whatever you call it, the American republic is in its last days. This is too scary for many to contemplate, but there’s something far scarier: playing ostrich and not being prepared for things to come.

The so-called Left, ever violent since its French Revolution birth and as power hungry as ever, wholly controls the culture: the media, mainstream and social; academia; and entertainment. This means it controls long-term politics, since the latter is downstream of culture. So is big business, mind you, which is why the Left controls most of it as well; this, of course, translates into funding.

Trump’s 2016 victory will not MAGA; it was merely a stay of execution, a prolonging of the inevitable. This should have been obvious in a country that could elect Barack Obama and then, like the Titanic having backed up to hit the iceberg again, re-elect him. If it wasn’t, it should be obvious now that the Democrats have seized the House in a Watergate-level rout.

The notion that this was a standard result for a president’s first midterm is only comforting when viewing matters in relative terms; that is, the “‘political spectrum’ always has a right and left side no matter how far ‘left’ that spectrum moves.”

We are in a cold civil war between the World of Man vs. the World of God, between the Blue half of tyranny and the Red half of ordered liberty, between the half that puts nerve endings paramount vs. the half that puts truth first, between the half that uses hate to enslave vs. the half that loves and has constraints, between the half of horror with utopia vs. the half that knows human nature and the Creator, between the Borg vs. those who will not submit.

We should assume this civil war goes hot because in the end, it is far better to courageously fight and destroy our enemy and secure ordered liberty for half of the USA than to settle for the 1000 years of darkness for all of the USA as Reagan warned.

Trust me. This war cannot be avoided. You can see it like a tsunami way out coming in and we can’t avoid it.

Great empires/civilizations eventually break up and fall and the USA is no different because those empires were humans.

I’d rather we started preparing now for when this goes hot, because the alternative is to wait and let the Blue Left absorb what is left into the collective so to speak.

There is still roughly half this country that would be excited to keep to our Declaration of Independence and Constitution. Why not commence early steps towards what could be a peaceful divorce, but prepare for the worst?

It’s coming and ignoring it would be like Jews in Germany ignoring Hitler and not getting out in time before the darkness fell.

It’s time to seriously get the discussion going all over the country to split the country in a peaceful fashion but fight relentlessly for freedom if it can’t be peaceful.

So are there ways to organize and coordinate people who know we're very close to sliding into the abyss so that they work better toward election victories at both local and national levels or is the left now so much better organized than those resisting them that it's too late that sort of response?

People saying, "whew, we only lost a few seats in the House" seem like folks who have been down so long it looks like up to them or something.

Good points you make.

We should be very concerned with our financial situation when they take over again. I believe they will attack Conservative and Christian finances. They will freeze bank accounts, cut off SS and pensions and nothing will be able to stop it.

I hope and pray to God I am wrong.

The “kingdoms of men” will cease in 6 very short years, as Yehova pours out his 10 days of bowl judgements on a very deserving populice [populace].

So, you've cancelled your life insurance policy?

Regards,

P.S.: What is a "bowl" judgement?

None of us could sleep during these times if we didn’t have our Lord.

In 1963, the Society for Human Abortion was established in San Francisco.

Ten years later, the United States Supreme Court legalized abortion and in turn the termination of pregnancy had become the most frequently performed operation on adults in the United States.

Soon, 1 out of every 3 American women were ending the life of their unborn babies. America led the world, but the world soon followed to the tune of hundreds of millions of innocent lives ended in their mother’s womb, worldwide.

If this practice doesn’t anger the Almighty into bringing judgment upon this land, and this world, and restoring rightousnes, then evil has won and we are living in hell.

I hear ya'. God is not mocked, no doubt about it.

The thing is, do we work like it all depends on us to turn it around or just lay back and say, "Otto's got it" like it's all on autopilot and pray like it all depends on Christ?

Isn't relying on Christ to turn it all around while we keep our heads down burying what talents we have right along with firearms, ammo, and rations any different than the what Christ warned about in the parable of the servant who buried his single talent?

The Hebrew words Elohim and Adonai are applied to something other than the true and living God. There is, however, one name that is unique to the God of the Bible. This name is Yahweh-an alternative transliteration is Jehovah. Yahweh refers to "the self-existent, eternal God" the name God revealed to Moses:

The tetragrammaton, יהוה‬ in Hebrew and YHWH in Latin script, is the four-letter biblical name of the God of Israel. The books of the Torah and the rest of the Hebrew Bible contain this Hebrew name. Religiously observant Jews and those who follow Talmudic Jewish traditions do not pronounce ;, nor do they read aloud transliterated forms such as Yahweh; instead the word is substituted with a different term, whether used to address or to refer to the God of Israel. Common substitutions for Hebrew forms are hakadosh baruch hu, Adonai, or HaShem.

Elohim in the Hebrew Bible refers to deities, and is one of the many names or titles for God in the Hebrew Bible.

The name of God most often used in the Hebrew Bible is the Tetragrammaton. It is frequently anglicized as Jehovah and Yahweh and written in most English editions of the Bible as "the Lord" owing to the Jewish tradition viewing the divine name as increasingly too sacred to be uttered. It was thus replaced vocally in the synagogue ritual by the Hebrew word Adonai, which was translated as Kyrios (“Lord”) in the Septuagint, the Greek version of the Hebrew scriptures.

Psalm 23 is the 23rd psalm of the Book of Psalms, generally known in English by its first verse, in the King James Version, "The Lord is my Shepherd". The Book of Psalms is the third section of the Hebrew Bible, and a book of the Christian Old Testament. In the Greek Septuagint version of the Bible, and in its Latin translation the Vulgate, this psalm is Psalm 22 in a slightly different numbering system. In Latin, it is known as "Dominus reget me et nihil mihi deerit".

Seven Names of God in Christianity
YHWH-Yireh — "The Lord will provide" (Genesis 22:13-14)
YHWH-Rapha — "The Lord that healeth" (Exodus 15:26)
YHWH-Niss"i — "The Lord our Banner" (Exodus 17:8-15)
YHWH-Shalom — "The Lord our Peace" (Judges 6:24)
YHWH-Ra-ah — "The Lord is the Way, my Shepherd" (Psalm 23:1)
YHWH-Tsidkenu — "The Lord our Righteousness" (Jeremiah 23:6)
YHWH-Shammah — "The Lord is the Light, ever present" (Ezekiel 48:35)
