The 2024 US Elections are over, the dust is settling and now it’s time to reflect. What just happened in living color before our eyes? Why is there so much hatred? Why has the United States of America become the Divided States of America? What are the spiritual root causes of the vitriol and division where one side wants to murder (verbally or sometimes eve literally) the other side? One side is all about kill, steal and destroy—about death and destruction. What’s going on here? As Bible believers, who is our REAL enemy? It is not people, but a spirit. To confront and then defeat one’s enemy, one must first know who they are, and second know their tactics. This three-part video series explores and answers these questions decisively from the Bible and then reveals the solution to the problem, and how we as followers of Yeshua the Messiah can be part of the solution.
Secular Humanism (Pt 1)—Exploring the Root Causes of America’s Current Civil War
Post Election Analysis
The once United States of America has just emerged from a presidential election where we are anything but united. We are united in name only, but, in reality, it is now the Divided States of America. How did we get here and who are the main players in this giant kabuki theatrical act? What is the source and origin of this division where the two sides are squared off against each other in pitched formation with muskets and cannon perpetually ready to fire? Who is to blame? Even though the more traditionalist, conservative and patriotic side has won the current battle, the culture war still rages on. What can we learn from this and where do we go from here?
America may not be in a literal or hot civil war where one side is firing muskets and cannons at each other, but, to be sure we are in a cold, cultural and spiritual civil war. The one side that calls itself democratic is using every possible means—after all, don’t you that the ends justify the means—to destroy its opponents. Their weapons du jour? Censure free speech and attack one’s opponents in every possible with shoot to kill orders. This involves viciously attacking their enemies politically and judicially, the use of lawfare to destroy one’s reputation and finances, Stalinist-like show trials where one imprison one’s opponents for little or no reason, the destruction of the businesses and economic opportunities of one’s enemies, the use the governmental security and intelligence agencies to spy on and persecute one’s opponents, the use the media to vilify one’s opponents through unverified accusations and by stating lies as facts and by accusing one’s opponent of what one is guilty of oneself (in psychological terms called projectionism). Other means employed to vilify one’s enemies included ad hominem or character assassination tactics. Names were used such as deplorables, garbage, stupid, fascist, Nazis, Hittlers, white supremicists, racists, misogynists and much more. A generation ago, who would have remotely guessed that the terms “American” or “patriot” would become pejorative bywords in America itself?
The America haters even attacked the populace through so-called pandemics. What could have been more telling than the imposition of face masks to symbolically and suggestively gagged the public thus curtailing the freedom to speak out against such anti-U.S. Constitution tyranny? If that was not enough, many more constitutionally guaranteed civil liberties were either abridged or outright suspended such as the right to gather, to speak freely, to move about freely, and to publish freely one’s opinions. Generally speaking, the right of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness including the freedom of operate one’s business and occupational pursuits in order to support oneself and one’s family were limited or made illegal. Since when are illegal mandates suddenly legal? Another Amerika has emerged out of the confusion and dystopic disorder. Can we come out of this? Only time will tell.
Currently the New America is not America anymore. Gone are the days when the two political parties were both overtly patriotic and loved their country, and even though they may have had different visions of how to make America better, they still respected each other enough to agree to disagree without being disagreeable. They worked things out through respectful discourse leading to compromise. Now for the leftist, so-called progressive side, it is my way or the highway. If you disagree with me, you are scum and deserve to die figuratively if not literally. If they fail to get their way, the are the first either to murder you with their words, destroy your reputation and business, declare you to be an enemy of the state, label as mentally ill, imprison you on trumped up charges, or even try to assassinate you. Does the former Soviet Union, communist China or Castro’s Cuba ring anyone’s bell? To this point, more and more people who fled those tyrannical, totalitarian regimes for freedom in America are now sounding the alarm that the land of the free and the home of the brave is heading in the same direction as these failed experiments in secular humanistic idealism that promised a utopia for the masses but instead delivered a hell on earth dystopia, which is why they fled those countries often at great personal risk for America. Do we humans never learn from the lessons of history?
Thankfully, a majority of Americans resoundingly said, “NO!” to the demonic agendas of the “progressive leftists” by voting out the current regime. Enough Americans searched their soul and realized that something was amiss with the status quo, normative narrative. There is a glimmer of hope for us. So what will we do now with what heaven has given us?
Now that the U.S. presidential election is history, and Providence has mercifully given America another reprieve from the severe judgments that we deserve for largely turning away from the Almighty Creator Elohim, it is time to reflect on a few things. In this epic battle, who is the real enemy? Is it the “progressive, leftist Democratic Party” and their acolytes, or is it something greater and way beyond that? As always and as truth seekers, we must attempt to dig deeply into the soil from which movements ideologies spring up to discover the real source and origin of such things. The noxious weed above the ground is merely the surface manifestations of its roots that go deep. Nature and common sense teaches us that first there is a seed, then the roots, then a sprout, then the plant and then more seeds and the cycle repeats itself again and again down through the cyclical course of human history. History repeats itself again and again. There is nothing new under the sun. The world is a giant and ongoing theatrical play. The story line and plot are always the same; only the actors and costumes change.
So what are the roots of the current spiritual, sociological and cultural hell on earth in which we currently find ourselves? To find a solution to a problem, one must identify the causes. There is never a political or economic solution to a spiritual problem.
Secular Humanism: The Devil’s Original Lie and the Religion of the New World Order
We are presently watching unfolding before us an epic and cosmic struggle between the forces of evil and good. The world system or cosmos of the devil is pitted against the unalterable and immutable plans, purposes and Word of the sovereign Creator of the universe, YHVH Elohim. Ultimately, it boils down to the epic and perennial battle between the spirit of antichrist versus YHVH-Yeshua the Messiah (Jesus Christ).
