In 2 Kings 6: `17-20, the prophet Elisha and his servant are about to be mown down by the bad guys and the servant is losing heart. So Elisha asks God to show the servant the army of angels that’s protecting them.

When Elisha Saw God’s Army

Today the wicked and ungodly run rampant, unrestrained, gobbling up our countries and our institutions, working overtime to destroy our families… How are we to stand against them?

But God is not as far away as we might think.

We don’t really think the Lord will let the bad guys win, do we?

And meanwhile, in case the End Of The World isn’t quite yet, there’s plenty of work for all of us to do in the service of Christ’s Kingdom. Don’t let a bunch of smarmy globalists wipe out “Occupy until I come.”

And **I’m** a Pessimist?

Bill O'Reilly gets new show on radio station owned by Trump ally

I heard Bill O’Reilly on the radio this morning. They should’ve played “Taps.”

According to O’Reilly, America’s pretty much going to suck from now on, it’ll never get its mojo back. It’s broken and can’t be repaired. Libs and their playmates broke it. So the only thing you can do is just try to save up as much money as you can, as a hedge against whatever fiascos the government chooses to indulge in.

I object. Oh, more than a few people call me a pessimist. Nevertheless, I object.

At a time of His choosing, our sovereign, righteous God will establish the throne of Jesus Christ on earth. The tares will be gathered up and thrown into the fire. All Creation will be regenerated.

And then the history of humanity will really begin.

In the meantime, “Occupy until I come.” Jesus said it. We’ll do it.

R.J. Rushdoony: “This Is The Victory”

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

The Chalcedon website (www.chalcedon.edu/) has a raft of new audiobook inserts for you to listen to. But I want to share with you a 1993 essay by R.J. Rushdoony, “This Is the Victory.”

https://chalcedon.edu/resources/articles/this-is-the-victory

Rushdoony was concerned, 30 years ago, with what he saw as the Church’s drift into irrelevance; and this, he said, was not the world’s fault but the Church’s–“the church did it to itself.”

Our faith, he said, must rest on Jesus Christ the King of kings: “To believe anything less is not to believe in Him.”

The key, for the Church–which is all of us, not just any denomination but all of us, all God’s people–is not to be waiting passively for the rapture, but to be working for Christ’s Kingdom: “Occupy until I come” (Luke 19:13). To this message he devoted his long and productive ministry.

But it’s hard to sell people on work–isn’t it?
