MAGA Evangelicals Beware

Posted on by

Political campaigns in the United States of America often are founded on principles that comply with the nation’s constitution. But when biblical principles are drawn into the realm of political considerations, then those persons who claim to be evangelical (Christian or Bible believing) should be reading the words of the Messiah and adhering to what the four gospels reflect. If an evangelical is not reading the Bible then they are NOT evangelical and possibly not moral, not just, and not godly.

Be Aware of What is True Evangelicals

Here is what a recent email from a Messianic organization included about Righteousness and Justice … which by the way the main MAGA candidate is not adhering to! That person speaks in anger and vengefulness and causes one to ask why support such a self centered and self righteous and non-biblical person? Also he is not abiding in the Constitution! And what if that person never repents of sin, disregards the government, and defames and demotes other persons?

MAGA seems unrighteous, injustice, and simply power centric AND here is what a religious organization has shared:

  • “Righteousness – Deuteronomy 16:18-20 calls for judges to be set in place that will judge in RIGHTEOUSNESS. Judges have to be trained in righteousness in order to judge effectively without political or selfish motives. Righteousness must be pursued and is the opposite of sin and corruption. Righteousness is the key to the motivation and the moral quality of how people are being judged.”
  • “Justice – When judging, Deuteronomy 25:1 explains justice in the simplest of terms: pardon the innocent and punish the wicked. Mistakes can be made by either punishing those who are innocent or by not holding accountable those who are doing evil. Justice also requires equality before the law. No favoritism is to be shown toward the rich or the poor. True justice forbids any bias based on political, racial, religious or socio-economic affiliations.”

The MAGA people claim the Department of Justice (DOJ) is weaponizing the political candidate … but what of God’s judgment based on righteousness and true God’s justice. What if the DOJ is doing the correct thing? MAGA doesn’t mean being godly—even inside of churches. So, what is the real meaning to the MAGA slogan used by the political side of reality today?

MAGA1 – Make Americans Grieve Again 

(undercutting of the nation for personal goals and not US citizens)

MAGA2 – Make America Grossly Atrocious 

(cut off allies and isolate the US)

MAGA3 – Make Autocracy Greatly Audacious 

(elect a dictator)

If you say you are evangelical … you had better be going back to what Messiah tells you and not some self-centered errant politician! Click on the following images … for a DVD that is wonderful to view and relive the Gospel of John, or another DVD pack with all four Gospels with one on its own separate DVD (and by the way these can be streamed on Prime).

MAGA and Prophet Jeremiah – A Nation in Crisis

Posted on by

The Book of Jeremiah tells us about false idols, bad rulers, and what the prophet was to tell Judah back in his day. Ray Stedman wrote a book about Jeremiah, but that includes a text that applies to politics of this day in the USA! Today many people who say they are evangelical are actually idol worshippers just like in ancient Judah! YES this is reality!

READ this blog entry and note the person posting this text reads Scripture, is not affiliated with any particular political party, but looks deeper in multiple news sources to get at what is real, complete, and truthful today!

Make America Great Again is one version of ‘MAGA’ that a candidate uses. But chaos and lawlessness associated with any candidate should be a concern.

If evangelicals are really Bible abiding believers, then what in the Bible leads them to understand what is right or wrong? And what about any candidate … even a candidate that seems to have (idol worshipping) evangelical followers—but are they truly evangelical? 

Perhaps the word ‘evangelical’ is misused these days and that comes with survey results indicating only 25% of those persons actually read the Bible. If the other 75% looked at Scripture they would realize what characteristics need be assigned to any candidate and to those who do not abide in the Lord’s will. What behaviors are exhibited, how power was used in the past, and what comes out of the mouth of the candidate need be compared to words in Mark 7 and in failing to keep with the principles described in Colossians 3. 

If a former president is truly not Godly, not loving, not embracing, and not running for office for the nation but more so for himself … that brings us to the experience what the book of Jeremiah reflects. Bottom line, Kings of old and idol worship characterized Judah in ages past. Idol worship of a US presidential candidate today is very much in parallel with what Jeremiah has to tell us even about today!

If you think you believe what Scripture has to say and how the past reveals concerns for what you see today … then here is a recommendation for you to explore before making a final vote … and this applies to all candidates (regardless of party, affiliation, religion, etc.).

This blog post strongly recommends you read Ray C. Stedman’s book “A Nation in Crisis.” This was written some decades ago, but appears to have incredible relevance and application to what is happening today. 

You read. You learn. You decide … but do explore and do think about what is truth—God’s truth and common application of justice and truth in the nation.

The improper candidate may actually be campaigning with another meaning to ‘MAGA:’ Make America Gross Again … or Grieve Again … and then only in hind sight once power is abused (yes, actually and truly as it was before) the nation will recognize the real crisis.

Are End Times Arriving Soon

Posted on by

STOP, READ, THINK, EXPLORE MORE

If you are political, material and wealth-centric, focused on current day events and do not think a religious perspective has any relevance, then you need to read this blog post. Or, if you are religious but bent on politics, nationalism, and not so focused on core biblical principles, then then you need to step back and look at the big picture and what you supposedly (superficially)  think you believe is biblical. 

RELEVANT INFORMATION

The concept of End Times comes through mainly in two books of Scripture. One is written in Hebrew and Aramaic, that is the writings of Daniel. The second is the writings of John and the title in Greek is ‘apocalypsis’ which in English is translated revelation. What is revealed in both of these writings needs your attention today. If you wish to read a comprehensive writing that ties together these two author’s writings, we suggest Arnold Fruchtenbaum’s book (Footsteps of the Messiah).   

One focal point of what Daniel and John write is a series of events that do give a chronology of events that characterize the biblical end of an era. Some keys words would be ‘false religion,’ ‘political nationalism,’ ‘lawless leadership,’ and a lack of loving your neighbor and a lack of truly lifting one’s heart to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

LAWLESS LEADER(S)

What does that timeline reveal? One theme is a lawless leader who takes a primary role that is ungodly and worldly—that would be a leader who opposes what is Messianic and biblical. But not just one leader would be lawless and if you see any politicians today who disregard what is law abiding and common sense—yet autocratic, dictatorial, and disrespects citizens of a nation and the entire world—then you are looking straight into the eyes of one or more leading us all into the end of the era called the End Times.

TURNING AGAINST ISRAEL

The chronology of end events comes with a multiple facets. One is a seven year treaty that will come and seemingly solves the dilemma in Israel—might that be a two state solution or anything that promises peace in the Middle East. Second, the traditional Jewish support of a temple in Jerusalem will lead to building a third temple and suggests the revitalization of animal sacrifices even though the Jewish Messiah has already satisfied this need of a sacrificial system. Third, another worldly religious system (possibly based on a current ‘other religion’ or some materialistic based belief system) will arise. Might this come about because the world shifts and the experience is more than religion, but may also be pushed by stress on a planet undergoing environmental and ecological change. Global, including climate, change causes stress today and only seems to be worse in time to come.

NATIONS FALTER EACH AND EVERY DAY 

One thing to be aware of is the totality of humanity is not focused on love or true solutions to planet-wide problems. Fossil fuel loving promotion (for example) counters the factors that lead to climate temperature change—but climate change is much more than just temperature and includes loss of species globally. Scientific data regarding change is not political and demonstrates real change. Yet politicians and power seeking leaders today work against global unity to solve problems. Wars and rumors of wars, earthquakes, famines are all noted in Scripture as to what leads into signs for the coming of the End Times. The United Nations meets in New York, and yet nations work against one another, regionally or singularly due to their nationalistic philosophy, self centered goals, and political motives.

TIME TO STUDY AND LOOK AHEAD

For persons alive today, regardless of your politics, economics, religious, or other beliefs, there is a need to look at the biblical chronology and then take a look at what you see in the news today. Social media can be helpful or misleading, but one thing is certain, during the end of this era everyone will be able to stream video of live events and witness exactly what the End Times chronology of events as have already been described by Daniel and John. Regardless of what you have thought to this point in time … YOU have the opportunity to explore the writings and see how relevant the revelation truly is and then YOU can wake up to what is coming.
