Because the Left controls the media, it is very adept at misusing words to attack its enemies. Thus it came up with ‘alt-right’ to label extreme fringe white supremacists and separatists and the like – whose numbers are extremely small – and then proceeded to apply it as a very effective smear to anyone on the right that didn’t go along with their narrative.
Now it’s Christian Nationalism’s turn. This is the Left’s response to the populist movement led by President Trump, a movement that is supremely dangerous in their eyes. Nationalism has been in disfavor since the European nations with their alliances failed to exercise self-restraint and fell into what became World War I. Christianity joined in the disfavor when it failed to keep those same nations from repeating their mistakes, in WWII. Desperate, the European intelligentsia looked elsewhere for salvation. Thus the rise of globalism and Marxism and the decline of nationalism and Christianity. It was quite consciously planned and done.
What’s sad today is to see the number of Christians in America who have been deceived by this strategy. I was around years back to see Beth Moore when she first started out on James Robison’s TV show. She was a talented Bible teacher with a close relationship with God; a breath of fresh air. Now she seems to have lost her mind. And similar is true of many once-respected Christian thought leaders.
The core question all need to be asking is: what is God doing? Is He still behind the nation-state? If so, we should be too. Scripture is quite clear that a one-world system is coming, which will persecute the Church mercilessly, and that “He that restrains” is the only thing holding it back at this time. But “He that restrains” – the Holy Spirit – works within the church, and as God’s ambassadors we ought to be aware of what’s going on and we ought to work to oppose the coming godless new world order.
Yet many Christians have in effect aligned themselves with that order, against the very purposes of God. Instead of being beacons of truth they lead many astray.
Why? Because some of Trump’s tweets are unseemly? Because he doesn’t fit the choir boy mold and has had a carnal past? Get a grip. God has always chosen unlikely instruments, and we need to get some perspective as to what’s important. Were Trump not as bold as he is, he never would have gotten as far as he has, nor achieved what he has for the nation.
