IS CIVIL WAR BREWING IN THE UNITED STATES?

 

Recently President Trump’s White House Press representative, Sarah Huckabee Sanders was asked to leave a restaurant because she worked for President Trump. The divide between the right and left was the reason this happened. This divide is becoming more vocal and dangerous each day.

Congressional Representative Maxine Watters is calling for people to harass those who represent the conservative view. Her actions are disturbing and potentially harmful to a person’s life. Civility in politics and the nation in general is less and less the normal way of life in America.

At this point obviously the left are the most vocal and demonstrative in their actions. They cannot accept the fact that half the country voted for President Trump and since his election have been doing everything in their power to disrupt his term in office. This behavior will have long lasting ramifications—it most likely will continue to worsen. Once something like this gets moving the other side will up the ante. This will result in a civil war and blood in the streets.

This blog tries to interpret these events from a Biblical standpoint. What we are really seeing is a nation turning away from the laws of God and towards anarchy. The nation is acting like spoiled brats. If we don’t get our way we are going to take issue. We have become an “in your face” people. No one cares about law and civility because corruption is rampant.

In fact, most politicians are not making the effort to truly address the problems that need correction. They are our representatives. We elected them and they are a reflection of us.

Demagoguery is the plan of action. Anyone with a good idea or solution is demonized and attacked. There is no serious discussion or solutions proposed. I must give President Trump credit for boldly addressing many issues that have long been festering in our nation. You all see how he has been demonized, but whether you like him or not, he has been facing many of these issues head on. Very few politicians are willing to stick out their necks like he does.

The recent issue of illegal immigrants being separated from their children has been around since Bill Clinton was President. It festered under President Obama as he refused to address it—but it now is all President Trump’s fault. Congress is supposed to create and write laws that address these problems. When is the last time they worked at their jobs? They are more interested in pandering to their constituents than fixing problems.

Lawlessness reigns. Even in many Christian churches you hear, “We are not under the law anymore.” Most of these believers have no idea what the law is or means. Yeshua said:

“Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.  For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.  For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven. Matt 5.17-20

Read those verses above very carefully. They have much more meaning then we have been taught in church. These issues have all been featured on this blog. If we allow the Bible to interpret it self, and take Yeshua at His word, there is much more to obeying God’s law than we have been taught. We are living in very lawless times.

A great example is our immigration problem. From a Biblical standpoint we are disobeying the Biblical laws on immigration and treating our own citizens poorly as well. https://www.thetrumpet.com/17433-illegal-immigration-fuels-inequality

God established the borders of countries (Deuteronomy 32.7-9) and divided unto the nations their inheritance. Nations are responsible to be good stewards of their national inheritance. We don’t see this law being carried out in many nations.

Those who immigrate are supposed to come to the new country because they love the country and are willing to serve the foster country. In the book of Ruth we see an example of a Moabitess who accepts Israel’s God and customs. She is an example of how an immigrant should embrace their new country.

We allow people in who want to cause unrest and trouble. They are not coming to help us. We allow so many poor immigrants to flood in that we are doing a disservice to our home born poor. They have less financial opportunities because the poor immigrants will work for less and under the table.

Since God established borders He also frowns upon changing or moving borders. Borders are supposed to be secure and protected. If every country in the world was just and righteous with their inheritance there would not be floods of immigrants trying to come in. Deuteronomy 19.14, 27.17, Job 24.42, Hosea 5.10

Once an immigrant enters a country legally, and has a heart to love their new country, they are to be recognized as if they were born in their new home country. Leviticus 18.26; 20.2; 22.18; 24.16; and note Numbers 19.14

It is clear in God’s word that immigration is OK. It is also clear that an immigrant is supposed to embrace the county he or she is entering—then they qualify to be treated as equals.

The nations of the world refuse to rightly divide and interpret Elohim’s commands in His law on the immigration issue. His commands are simple and clear. These laws are just one example of how the world refuses to rightly and justly interpret and implement God’s law as written in His WORD.

Civil war is brewing because there are many conflicting agendas in the hearts of humankind. We are entering the period that Yeshua and the Apostle Paul called the “great apostasy.” Matt .9-11; 2 Thessalonians 2.1-12; 1 Timothy 4.1; 2 Timothy 4.3-4; 2 Peter 2.1-3

Today we see the churches straying far from the written word and allowing most anything in their assemblies. I don’t really have to go into detail—you all know. If you have grandchildren you should be very concerned about the direction the nation and the church is headed. The true believers will not be represented by those sitting in the pews of mega churches—they will be hard pressed as Yeshua prophesied.

If our country continues to turn from God then He will allow us to suffer the results. We are moving into dangerous territory. He who has ears to hear will be seeking the Father and preparing themselves for the conflict ahead. God will have His remnant bring glory to His Name.

He has to chastise us. If He didn’t what kind of Father would He be?
