The thread of history is never broken. Merely woven into an ever deceitful, deluded, and destructive garment worn by those foolishly imagining themselves removed from the loom of the past, of sin and evil weaving the threads, their personal tailor, Satan, rather than seeking and having a personal Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ.

It’s been said and written more times than is known, but those who do not pay attention to history, and learn from it are doomed to repeat not the best of it — but the worst of it — and the worst for this world is now unfolding and yet to come, but, oh, it is coming my friends, it is coming…

…for the present time and days that lie immediately ahead are and will be more dangerous than any other time in world history.

“For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be. And if those days had not been cut short, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short.”

Matthew 24:21-22 — English Standard Version

And if you’re counting on the Lord making more than a Second return to earth as it is written? And having no real evidence in Scripture of being swept up in the sky to avoid persecution [which the Bible clearly and in many places states will occur to believers] or suffer for the faith [see the previous reference only 18 words earlier] PRIOR TO this Great Tribulation looming? Contrary to the words of men and not found in the Word of God. Well, would it not be wiser to prepare for this than to remain ill-equipped and unprepared for what is coming?

Yes, those true believers that have endured, fought the good fight to the end, that have remained faithful and true to the Lord will be swept up in the clouds to meet Him — but nowhere in the Bible — NOWHERE in the Bible is this written with the timelines stating this occurs prior to the Great Tribulation. A theory born and put forward by men and not contained anywhere within the Word of God. A theory emanating from a weak faith, being deceived, a faith not wanting to embrace reality or prepare people in the truth. Much easier to tell folks they won’t need to stand firm, to have to declare that Christ is their Lord and face being turned in by family members, tortured, beheaded, death and suffering — as legions of past believers had known. But today’s professed believer? Somehow has transformed the Word to suit their softness, their comfort, their fear of pain, and of having to defend the faith, perhaps even by dying for it as many in the past have.

Don’t believe this? Perhaps it’s time to search the Scriptures rather than just taking the word of men and passing along those unfounded words that may soothe the soul but do nothing to equip and prepare a person for the times in which we live, and the time swiftly coming unlike any other in world history.

“But for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short.”

Whoops, better read the CONTEXT of what came before the Lord saying this to His disciples. The when. Kind of important. Not to be missed.

The words of the Lord, the words within the Word are much better to go to, know, listen to, believe, and abide in than any words from any man or woman.

A refresher — those that do not learn from history — and I’m going to add a most important addendum — and do so by weaving the words of the Bible into the threads of history they weave for themselves they make a thin, weak fabric that will not last and they are doomed to keep sewing such a garment for themselves, never learning while imagining themselves so wise. Until they die. Tragically.

The early Middle Ages were a very dangerous time, as were many periods in history, but none of them have anything on what is, and what is coming…

From constitutional republic to socialism to globalism to feudalism

July 10, 2022

By Linda Goudsmit

Reprinted from Renew America

Globalism is a replacement ideology that seeks to reorder the world into one planetary Unistate, ruled by the globalist elite themselves, of course. Globalism has declared war on the nation state, and cannot succeed without collapsing the United States of America. The tactical strategy is the incremental movement of America from constitutional republic > socialism > globalism > feudalism. The target is your children. This is how it works.

Every natural force on Earth from fire to nuclear energy has the potential for construction or destruction. This inherent duality presents man with moral choices between construction and destruction. Traditional Judeo-Christian morality deems construction good and destruction bad. What happens when the accepted foundational morality of society is challenged by a competing narrative that insists construction is bad and destruction is good? Let’s find out.

Societies as small as families and as large as nation-states are organized by accepted principles codified into written or unwritten laws accepted by member units. When societies abide by the accepted rules, they are considered to be at homeostasis—they are at peace and in balance. When a competing narrative intrudes, the society becomes destabilized and must either accept or reject the competing ideology to regain balance, peace, and homeostasis.

Traditionally, American culture derives its stability and moral authority from its Judeo-Christian tradition, constitutional law, and parental authority in the family unit. God, government, and family are the triptych of American culture and the foundations for America’s extraordinary ordered liberty. America’s triptych is the artwork of American greatness and portrays the triad that supports our unparalleled freedom and prosperity.

The globalist leadership understands that social change happens slowly, and then all at once. They have recruited the Leftist and Islamist enemies of America to wage war in America, on America. Today’s radical leftist Democrat party is challenging the foundational American triptych and is attempting to repaint its panels with socialism.

In politics, it is essential that policies be analyzed and evaluated with rational objectivity—when they are not, the consequence is belief in the unbelievable. I call this political mysticism—the belief in the politically impossible. “Democratic” socialism is the 21st century’s political mysticism, seducing Americans with promises of heaven on Earth. Millennials disenchanted with the religious teachings of their Judeo-Christian heritage are searching for answers to man’s moral dilemmas elsewhere. Some find it in supremacist Islamic sharia law. Others are duped by leftist radical Democrats advocating the political mysticism of secular democratic socialism.

No successful humanitarian huckster sells socialism by promising enslavement—hucksters promise utopian social justice and income equality, instead. They promise “free stuff” to the hopeful masses and con them into voting for “deliverance” at the voting booth. Let’s be clear—FREE STUFF IS NEVER FREE—people pay with their freedom.

Collectivism, whether it is marketed directly as globalism, indirectly as socialism, or deceitfully as democratic socialism, is a structure of centralized government control. Together, America’s radical leftist Democrat party, and its allied Islamists and globalist funding partners, are selling the upside-down notions and inverted logic of “democratic” socialism to shatter America from within.

Collectivism is slavery marketed as freedom. George Orwell described collectivism’s upside-down notions and inverted logic in his 1949 dystopian novel, 1984. “War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.” Orwell was a political analyst who understood that “[a]ll tyrannies rule through fraud and force, but once the fraud is exposed, they must rely exclusively on force.”

There is no private property in collectivism—individual citizens do not reap what they sow—the government does. So, first comes the fraud—the promise of social justice and income equality. Then comes the force—a centralized government that owns and/or controls all production and its distribution. In the case of globalism, it is centralized government on a planetary scale.

Winston Churchill described the reality of socialism: “Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.” Churchill understood that socialism is a return to feudalism where the ruling elite benefit at the expense of the shared misery of the masses. Yes, you read that correctly: socialism is the stepping stone for globalism’s one-world government. Let me explain.

Failed cultural Marxism has been repackaged with the magic word “democratic” to overcome reflexive American resistance to socialism, and to disguise collectivism’s tyrannical core. It is a fraudulent marketing technique designed to sell political mysticism. The word democratic is being used to paint lipstick on this particular political pig. Democratic socialism is presented with mystical reverence as deliverance of social justice and income equality—millennial salvation.

Barack Obama sold socialism to America by disguising it as “hope and change.” Today’s emboldened radical leftist Democrats and their “resistance” movement have repackaged their product, reverently relabeling it “democratic” socialism.

In theater as in religion, there is the concept of suspension of disbelief. The audience does not examine the plot or characters with the same rational analysis that is required of objective scientific study. When political theory is presented as religion, the same suspension of disbelief is accepted. Why does this matter?

It matters because suspension of disbelief is the core of political mysticism. Duped millennials argue that old attempts at socialism were not the “real” socialism—democratic socialism is the real deal. Oh my!

The aspiration for world domination simply will not go away, and make no mistake, socialism is the stepping stone to one-world governance. A sovereign United States of America is the existential enemy of any aspirational movement for one-world government, whether secular or religious. After WWII, it was clear to anyone and everyone that if the United States of America was ever to be defeated, it would have to be shattered from the inside out—culturally—military defeat was out of the question.

It was with this mindset that the enemies of America resolved to destroy America from within. The Culture War against America took aim at the foundational structures of the triptych—God, government, and family. The hearts and minds of patriotic Americans would have to be turned against themselves to defeat America. America would have to implode.

The Leftist/Islamist/Globalist axis is targeting the triptych of American greatness to destroy her from within. The Leftists are selling the political mysticism of secular democratic socialism, the Islamists are selling the political mysticism of religious Islamic sharia law, and the globalists are financing and fomenting both anti-American campaigns.

Winston Churchill remarked, “Islam is an ideology wrapped in religion.” He understood that peace on earth to an Islamist means when all the world is Muslim. Churchill recognized the theocratic foundation of Islam and its socio-political requirement that no separation exist between mosque and state. In Islam, religion is the centralized controlling government. Winston Churchill spoke the inconvenient truth about Islamist aspirations for world domination in his time. He was, after all, a globalist who believed in English hegemony.

History is repeating itself. Today, Islamism and democratic socialism are domestic enemies of American sovereignty, but their provisional alliance will remain only until they can destabilize America and make the country ungovernable. Social chaos is the prerequisite for seismic social change. Anarchy is the goal.

Anarchy will launch globalism’s final takeover, and it will become manifest that the globalists have been financing and fomenting the Leftist/Islamist alliance in the United States for decades. Leftists and Islamists are globalism’s useful idiots, exploited to usher in the New World Order ruled by the globalist elite themselves—of course.

The globalist elite have been playing chess while the Leftists and Islamists have been playing checkers. Globalism’s opening moves begin at the beginning.

Our Founding Fathers established a constitutional republic with distinct separation of powers designed to protect the nation from the centralization of power required for any binary system of rulers and ruled. Barack Obama’s “hope and change” attacked the separation of powers and made socialism mainstream in America. Joe Biden’s globalist “build back better” went further, and made globalism mainstream in America. Socialism was always the stepping stone to globalism, and globalism was always the stepping stone to 21st century feudalism—the Great Reset.

The United States of America is at the tipping point. We are teetering on economic and social collapse, precisely the conditions globalism requires to impose its planetary New [Old] World Order. The globalist elite’s New World Order is a regression back to the socio-political infrastructure of feudalism, a variation on the binary monarchical system of rulers and ruled rejected by our forefathers.

Globalism’s war on America is a long-range war of attrition. The older generation of American patriots is dying. Their children’s generation of woke indoctrinated millennials is transitional. It is the grandchildren’s generation that is the primary target of globalism’s war on America, and war on humanity. Young children are being indoctrinated, groomed, and socially engineered to become submissive, dependent wards of the planetary globalist managerial Unistate.

They will be the first generation of completely propagandized, eternally dependent, genderless, submissive slaves in globalism’s New World Order. These children will never know true freedom. It is absolutely essential for Americans to recognize that we are a nation at war. We simply must adopt a wartime mentality to make sense of the nonsensical social policies at play in the world, and understand that the globalist Biden regime’s domestic and foreign policies are intentionally designed to collapse America from within.

Change happens slowly, and then all at once. The nation is teetering at the tipping point of all at once. If Americans insist on a peacetime mentality during a time of war, they will surrender America’s national sovereignty to the grasping managerial state, and surrender our nation’s children to the globalist elite who will consign them to a life of indentured servitude. Denial is not a survival strategy—it endangers the children and empowers the enemies of freedom. Parents and grandparents must fight the globalists for the children, or they will lose the war for the children. There is nothing in between—and the globalist enemy knows it.
