Mark Rushdoony: 'The Divided States of America' – Lee Duigon

Sometimes covering the nooze is like struggling through dense jungle where the only path available is the one you hack out with your machete.

But we have to keep our eyes on the prize, Mark Rushdoony reminds us.

The message of all of Scripture, Mark writes is “Jesus Christ victorious with all sin and evil put down.”

And who, in 70 A.D., would have given two cents for the new Christian Church’s chances of survival? Who would have bet against the might and power of Rome?

It’s not easy to do, since today in many ways we are like those early Christians trying to live out their faith surrounded by the Roman Empire; nevertheless, that’s God’s word to us and we have a duty to believe Him. Death and evil loses, Christ wins. That’s where the story’s going, no matter how many twists and turns it takes to get there.

[B]ehold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his [Elisha’s] servant said unto him, Alas, my master! How shall we do? And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them. And Elisha prayed, and said, Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see.

And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha. –2 Kings 6:17-18

If I could trade places with anyone in the Bible, and then come back here to tell about it, I would trade with Elisha’s servant–when God permitted him to see the heavenly host that surrounded the army of the enemy, to destroy it. What I wouldn’t give to have seen that!

God’s people today are surrounded by enemies–the Far Left, Hollywood, the nooze media, atheism, Islam, the teachers’ unions: enemies who would gleefully destroy us. We can see them everywhere.

What we can’t see, because it’s spiritual, is God’s army. If Elisha were were to show it to us, would we even be able to believe our eyes? Would we?

Believe the Bible: because our eyes and ears are not enough. Believe God’s word.
