Living in the Americas cerca 74 B.C. were a people known as Nephites, a
nation of mostly fair-skinned immigrants from across the Atlantic, who practiced written law, monarchal (followed by republican) rule,
and religion, worshipping the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob
in the name of Jesus Christ.
“And
now the design of the Nephites was to support their lands, and their
houses, and their wives, and their children, that they might preserve
them from the hands of their enemies; and also that they might
preserve their rights and their privileges, yea, and also their
liberty, that they might worship God according to their desires.”
(Alma 43:9.)
Another group of immigrants, called Lamanites,
rose up in opposition to the Nephites. They were darker skinned, having mixed their seed with the indigenous population. These Lamanites sought to "take back" Nephite lands and overthrow the Nephite's religion, government and way of life.
The
Lamanites hated the Nephites,
for sure, but they more hated any Lamanite who sided with
the Nephites. Anyone who practiced the religion or politics of
the Nephites, or who even called
themselves Nephite, was targeted for destruction (or
subjugation).
The
Nephites, wary of being attacked and enslaved by radicalized
militant "foreigners", nonetheless had compassion on Lamanites who renounced all violence and their murderous designs. The Nephites welcomed professing Christian Lamanite
refugees to immigrate to Nephite lands. These former Lamanites
pledged to contribute their toil and treasure to upholding Nephite
values and support Nephite armies in defense of their countrymen.
These immigrants became a great blessing, rather than a curse, to the
Nephites. (See Alma 43:12-13.)
(Do you
see parallels with our day?)
Ironically,
there were many dissenters among the Nephites – formerly a
God-fearing, religious, and law-abiding people – who crossed over
and sided with the Lamanites! Like the Lamanites, these
dissenters lusted for power and privilege (both political and
economic) and became almost as numerous as the Nephites themselves! When coupled with the Lamanites, these dissenters became even more
numerous, in fact.
Thus the Nephites were rendered a minority in their own
country and were thereafter compelled to fight for their lives, even
their very existence. Self-loathing, idolatrous and anti-Christian
Nephites renounced their former national identity, even the color of their fair skins, marking themselves with dye
to pledge allegiance to the Nephite's enemies. (See Alma 3:13-18.)
Americans
today have joined the Taliban and support ISIS, even as “domestic” terrorists and enemies of our republic have “transformed” and subverted
our culture, demographics, and institutions over time.
It is no coincidence that those who champion this “transformation" almost universally support the murder of innocent, unwanted,
pre-born children...while importing new ones! They have embraced the
spirit of the devil, who is a liar and a murderer from the beginning.
He is anti-Christ and so are they.
The
unrighteous Nephites became hardened in their iniquity, stirring up
“little dissensions and disturbances” here and there (see Alma
45:21), to the point that “...they grew proud, being lifted up in
their hearts, because of their exceedingly great riches; therefore
they grew rich in their own eyes, and would not give heed...to walk
uprightly before God.” (Alma 45:24.)
Among
those who no longer controlled Nephite government (and were as
mad as hell about it!) arose “a large and a strong man”
whom the dissenters wanted to make their king. The “greater part”
of those who supported him were
“...the
lower judges of the land, and they were seeking for power.
5
And they had been led by the flatteries of [this man], that if they
would support him and establish him to be their king that he would
make them rulers over the people.
6
Thus they were led away by [this man] to dissensions...
7
And there were many...who believed in the flattering words of [this
man], therefore they dissented...and thus were the affairs of the
people of Nephi exceedingly precarious and dangerous, notwithstanding
their great victory which they had had over the Lamanites, and their
great rejoicings which they had had because of their deliverance by
the hand of the Lord.” (Alma 46:4-7.)
(If you
do not see the parallels between these events and our day, you are
blinded, ignorant or asleep.)
An
historian of that time commented:
8
Thus we see how quick the children of men do forget the Lord their
God, yea, how quick to do iniquity, and to be led away by the evil
one.
9
Yea, and we also see the great wickedness one very wicked man can
cause to take place among the children of men.
10
Yea, we see that [this man], because he was a man of cunning device
and a man of many flattering words, that he led away the hearts of
many people to do wickedly; yea, and to seek to destroy the church of
God, and to destroy the foundation of liberty which God had granted
unto them, or which blessing God had sent upon the face of the land
for the righteous’ sake. (Alma 46:8-10.)
In
response to this wicked, loquacious, and flattering man who sought to
“transform” and overthrow the Nephite nation, another courageous
patriot arose. He rallied his people to defend their country and
their culture against all enemies, foreign and domestic, hoisting a sort-of flag “[i]n memory of our God, our religion, and freedom, and our
peace, our wives, and our children.” (See Alma 46:12-16.) This
champion appealed to those religious Christians who cherished their
freedoms and loved peace, but who were also willing to fight, if
necessary, to protect and defend their wives and children from
destruction.
Now it
came to pass, in the course of not many years, that the people who
were not in power – and who were still mad as hell
about it – wanted to overthrow the free government of the
people and to establish a king over the land. They called
themselves “kingmen” while those who sided with the
elected government were called “freemen”. When
the elected leader of the Nephites refused to relinquish his authority to the kingmen (a group lead by lower judges, mind you), the kingmen rebelled! They were so angry with the duly elected
leader of the government “and also with the people of liberty, that
they", the kingmen, "would not take up arms to defend their country.” (Alma 46:13.)
In fact, these kingmen threw open their country's borders and welcomed
the Nephite's enemies to invade! (These quislings naively presumed
that their enemies would suffer being “ruled over” by elitist
kingmen!)
(Surely
you see more parallels here!)
The
ensuing conflict between kingmen and freemen led to a Nephite civil
war...precisely at a time when the Nephites came under attack by a
foreign army.
(Is
that, too, our fate?)
Because
of these dissensions and lust for power and control by unruly
kingmen, and incursions by foreign invaders, the Nephites were
plunged into 15 years of war, losing many cities, much ground and
many people before peace and the rule of law were restored.
Nevertheless,
within 500 years, the Nephites were all but exterminated. They were hunted down and killed – or bred out of existence – by
their enemies.
We
are not there yet. But
we do have “kingmen” and "dissenters" in our midst: those who
oppose our Christian faith and values, our constitutional republican government, and our way of life.
David
Brock used
to be a vocal Republican. He has since become a Democrat. After
losing the last election, Mr. Brock and his allies marshalled their
forces to oppose all
things Trump.
They now seek to overthrow the duly elected government. This is their
battle plan:
We
have the mandate.
Together,
we won the popular vote and Democrats picked up seats in the Senate
and the House.
Trump
is the least popular incoming president in modern history1
and the outgoing present and popular vote winner are again the most
admired man and woman in the nation.
The
country did not vote for Trump-style change.2
Trump
has the legal authority, but we have the moral authority – and the
moral responsibility – to oppose him.
We
will fight, every day.
We are going to fight for the things
in which we believe, and we are going to fight against any attempt to
erode the cornerstone work and values of the progressive movement and
this pluralistic nation.3
We are going to resist the
normalization of Donald Trump. His every conflict of interest, his
every bit of cronyism, his every move toward authoritarianism, his
every subversion of our democratic systems and principles, his every
radical departure from foreign and domestic policy norms.4
You
would do well to fully study their
new “playbook”.
The
strategy of the Left is “to resist the normalization of Donald
Trump.” To oppose everything
he does and stands for. Even if what he does is exactly
what
his predecessor – the champion of the Left, Barack Obama – did!
Practiced hypocrisy is no
deterrent
to them. Nor is lying by the entrenched Republican
establishment in Washington! These parties rely
on lying – and the gullibility of “useful idiots” on either
side of the aisle – to gain political control and economic power. They use the courts when the people cannot be persuaded to
do as they please.
These narcissists cannot subsist
on their own; they must
have a parasitic host to feed upon and control. Consequently they
gravitate toward cities and government employment, singlehood,
sex-without-consequences, and the welfare state. Their “host” is
the American Christian (primarily white) middle class. They will not
stop draining their host of vitality until either they or America's
white middle class Christians are subjugated and destroyed.

1 Emphasis
on “incoming”. As
Vox Day reported on January 26, 2017: “from July 20,
2009 to January 17, 2017, Barack Obama never enjoyed as high a
Presidential Approval Rating, at 59 percent, that Donald Trump
presently has. Obama peaked at 67 percent on January 25, 2009, and
it was literally all downhill from there.” As Vox is fond of
saying: “SWJs (Social Justice Warriors) ALWAYS lie.” They do!
And that is how you can detect (and expose) them. They will NEVER
fully admit the truth.
2 Another
lie. The Left lives in
denial. And they project!
3 Socialism and fascism are, indeed, the "cornerstone" of the Left's movement. The Left abhors E pluribus unum, embracing, rather, Ex
uno multa: “from one, many”.
4 In
other words, the Left is going to continue to pretend to oppose everything they incessantly do.

I think you make an apt comparison to the left, but I think you've under-represented the sorry state of so-called "Christian America".
ReplyDeleteWe are a divided, godless bunch, too.
Jesus Christ is the only one who can save this sorry country and most "Christians" have instead put all their faith in a wicked man named Donald J Trump who promises to do something only the Son of God is capable of doing. He can't and he won't. He'll at least attempt to fix things for the sake of the Christians who elected him, but it will be an attempt where we see just how powerful of a strangle-hold the adversary has on us — even when we didn't elect his little puppet whore.
I hate to say it, and I hope I'm wrong, but I have a feeling this whole country's going down.
I wish Mr. Trump well, but, like you, I hold out little hope for ANY secular "resurrection" of American "greatness" or virtue.
ReplyDeleteAs Alexis de Tocqueville observed: "America is great because America is good. And if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great."
I think we are PAST that point now. (MAYBE we can get it back...by ONLY by a SPIRITUAL reformation.)
You are SPOT ON: American "Christendom" is in a state of apostasy and moral relativism. "Christians" are practically indistinguishable from "unbelievers" in terms of lifestyle, devotions and comportment. (People often complain we find no "Nephite" artifacts in Central America. But I would wonder if archeologists 2000 years from now will be able to differentiate between "Christian" households and "non-Christian" households of the 21st century. I doubt it!)
