Let me ask you a question, which you can answer silently to yourself. Or, you can leave a comment if moved to dso so.
When searching the Scriptures, now this question is addressed to those claiming to know the LORD, to be His, to be Christ followers — when searching the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation is there any place, any time, any words used that mention, describe, report when rebellion, rioting, mayhem, protesting, the tearing down and violence erupting — at any mention, at any time was a political reason attributed to the actions? Ever? Or is it always, only defined as rebellion, sin, the revealing of evil in the hearts and minds of men and women consumed in and by evil, and allowing it to pour out of them and into open exhibition?
Why is it that no speaker, writer, commentator, or so-called chronicler of the times, who writes or speaks of being a Christian, even using Bible references, must always, always, ALWAYS settle in the defining and labeling of these very same lawless, rebellious acts as something leftist, liberal, progressive, Democrat, and on and on defining everything that occurs in this manner in a strictly political sense.
Omitting the spiritual warfare.
Why?
The only explanations possible are: they are not really Christ followers, or they are more concerned with readership, ad revenue, money, pleasing people, losing subscribers, losing “likes,” losing attention rather than every time shining light and truth, giving attention to what is truly at work in every occasion?
Speak, write, and think clearly. Spiritually, wisely, intelligently, fearlessly, if professing to be one of faith in Jesus Christ as LORD and Savior. Not hanging a political definition on the evil present and growing, and not hesitating or fearing to call these things what they are.
I believe, if bothering to look deeper, further, it would be learned that the agitators, the rebellious individuals and groups, don’t align themselves with a political party. They aren’t registered Democrats. They don’t regard themselves as leftists, and if Jesus, the apostles Paul or Peter were in front of them that the demons within the agitators would recognize the LORD, recognize the Holy Spirit, and address, speak to Jesus, the apostles in kind. Not identifying themselves as leftists, Democrats, liberals, or the like.
For anyone who is truly a person born from above, in pursuit of God, walking with the LORD Jesus Christ to always, only categorize, label, define, and place in a box individuals, organizations, actions, efforts, events as political and everything is leftist, and so on is in truth serving Satan and the darkness, the delusion present.
Because they refuse to openly acknowledge it has nothing to do with Democrats, liberals, leftist political ideologies, and so on, it’s just that the majority of those used by evil tend to appear to belong to such identification, when they ought to be defined exactly, clearly, plainly for what they are — lawless, rebellious servants of Satan and evil. Period.
Anything else deflects, distracts, and actually serves Satan and his efforts, his cause, his lies. Because if a person speaks, writes, thinks and can only see the rebellion, the breakdown within society, the lawlessness as something political, leftist, from a political party they are playing right into Satan’s, evils hands as they refuse to acknowledge and define these matters clearly for what they are — signs of the very last of the last days as evil increases. Not as political unrest, a political ideology increases or carries out lawlessness.
Think, if truly born from above, and speak and write with accuracy of evil, sin, Satan, his instruments used to carry out his mayhem, not the mayhem and destruction of a political ideology, unless that ideology is known and called the evil party of lawlessness serving their elected master, the devil.
You know what? Until and unless every individual professing to know Christ, to serve the LORD, to be His, can see, hear, speak, and write what things are the lawlessness, destruction, rioting, and rebellion, will continue on mislabeled, allowing many to believe it’s all just political.
Want to be a help to others? Begin speaking, writing, calling things what they are rather than the worldly label, the worldly definition, the worldly distracting given to them to keep people from understanding, seeing, and giving consideration to the LORD, to the Word of God, to the times.
Keep just labeling and calling things leftist, liberal, political, and attributing certain acts to one political party, and see if a message of truth and enlightenment occurs, or if what takes place is just a bunch of people pointing fingers, talking, screaming, and babbling on.
Seriously, if expecting understanding and the truth to occur, how is that ever going to be possible until and unless individuals begin to see, hear, speak, and write with understanding and truth as to what is what and why they are as they are?
How’s it moving along, advancing, in the perpetual spin, no different than tiny furry creatures in a cage running in place on a wheel, with regard to getting folks to understand what is happening and why? Because this constant American political ideology approach that everything ends at the liberal altar or the conservative altar, the Democrat or Republican altar, is well, idolatry. Because everything is not cleansed and seen clearly at the altar of Christ, of the Word of God. It’s in truth part of the great falling away, the great apostasy.
Stop fearing calling, seeing, acknowledging, speaking about things as to what they truly are — spiritual warfare revealed. Nothing at all to do with a political ideology.
One last question — what prevails, what goes on eternally? A political ideology, a political party, or the outcome of righteousness versus evil?
Why then, muddy, confuse, and continue to ignore, continue to serve Satan and be part of the rebellion, all the noise rather than clearly speaking, writing what all of this is, what its origins are, who is behind it, and what it is?
End times spiritual warfare revealed. If not seeing or hearing this and only seeing or hearing political ideologies in all of this it’s time to get schooled in reality, in the truth, in God’s Word and not be ashamed to speak and write plainly, openly, putting forth a clear and different message than the one the world can only speak or write.
The Great Apostasy
Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.
Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming. The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
2 Thessalonians 2:1-12
Is it antifa that is revealed? The Democratic party increases and is at work? Or is it the spirit of evil? Satan at work and the revealing of the end times? Which occurs not due to a political ideology or movement, but due to the darkness, the evil, the rebellion against God, against Jesus, against the Holy Spirit, against the Word of God in such times.
EVIL agitators, lawless agitators serving Satan. Not leftist agitators.
According to the LORD and His Word, which is where we ought to go for our definitions, awareness, and understanding, right?

Leftist Protest Culture and the Rise of Lawlessness
June 28, 2025
Reprinted from The Washington Stand & Prophecy News Watch
Federal law enforcement officers in Portland, Oregon, are once again under constant attack. Since earlier this month, left-wing activists have held almost daily demonstrations outside the building that houses the local Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) branch. Two weeks ago, demonstrations on Wednesday and Thursday led to arrests, but both proved to be dress rehearsals for the greater violence on Saturday which was declared a riot. Again this week, agitators were arrested for launching fireworks and knives at law enforcement.
The clashes evoke the Portland riots from the long, hot summer of 2020, where hundreds of agitators gathered nightly to assault officers guarding the federal courthouse, and where the term “Antifa” entered the popular lexicon.
The cause is slightly different — protesting immigration enforcement instead of police brutality — but the storyline appears to be the same.
In fact, every left-wing protest looks remarkably similar. Always an element seeks confrontation with police — throwing bottles, spraying graffiti, and other minor mayhem. Often the protestors are clad in black with their faces concealed. Often they are united in their object, supplied with identical gear, and organized into platoons.
The left-wing agitators contingent almost looks like an army. Thus, a local news outlet, Oregon Live, described the June 14 riot, “an impromptu shield wall was formed around 5 p.m. near the main gates to the ICE facility. … Later, several people could be seen using a stop sign as a makeshift battering ram.”
The locations change, the tactics vary, but the character of these left-wing disturbances remain the same regardless of the ostensible cause. It could be about immigration, or police, or Palestine, or the environment, or abortion, or the LGBT agenda — whatever meets the controversy of the moment. The protests all have the same character — enough to make one suspect they are carried out by all the same characters — to the point of creating an independent phenomenon some have called “Omnicause Leftism.”
Because these protests adapt to the controversy of the moment, and because there is more or less always a political controversy, these protests are more or less constant. One might even call it one perpetual protest, one which tours from city to city, exchanging causes like soiled t-shirts at every stop. In fact, the perpetual nature of the protest seems to be an essential feature of the phenomenon because many of the participants have adopted street agitation as a lifestyle.
Have you ever stopped to wonder how protests can run on for days and days? Normal people with jobs, families, and other responsibilities cannot afford to simply camp out by a government building for a week. For the left-wing protestors who gather day after day, such protests are at best an intensive hobby and at worst their whole life — perhaps even their livelihood, if someone sponsors their activities.
Recognizing that the protest events are perpetual helps to explain other facets. For example, the protests are well-organized, with innovative and constantly evolving tactics, because the participants are well-practiced.
The perpetual nature of the protests also explains the violent confrontations that occur. News media often report individual protests gathering as discrete events, which they try to contextualize by connecting their rhetoric to the related political cause. But only the most dramatic protests — those which involve arrest and confrontation — catch such attention. Thus, the protestors must engineer ever-increasing drama to gain attention.
As to what gave rise to the leftist protest culture, that question can be answered on multiple levels. On the surface, this is a strategy of Marxist ideologues to achieve political and social change. Above all else, Marxists desire power and revere oppressed categories of people. They therefore admire the civil rights activism of the 1950s and 60s, which brought an end to segregation, but they also eschew the standard democratic methods of seeking political change — persuasion, elections, and legislation — that made that movement successful.
Left-wing agitators are LARPing (“live action role playing”) their own civil rights movement — or, at least, the way they fantasize it in their heads. The civil rights movement succeeded in drawing attention to unjust, legal segregation by mass protest and peaceful civil disobedience. It took an issue of deep, abiding injustice to draw out so many mothers, fathers, and children — most of them poor, blue-collar workers — for extended protest. This, along with the brutal repression they faced, caught the nation’s attention.
But left-wing agitators try to cheapen the civil rights movement into a set of political tactics they can cut-and-paste onto any political issue. And their insincerity is the reason they won’t succeed. First and foremost, left-wing agitators lack a cause of sufficient rightness to justify the tactics they employ. They also don’t have to face the same level of personal sacrifice that made the civil rights movement so remarkable. Nor do they commit themselves to the same degree of non-violence.
This points to another essential point: while the civil rights movement was largely produced by black Christians appealing to Christian values and the fundamental moral law, today’s left-wing agitators fundamentally reject all authority. They participate in “the mystery of lawlessness” that “is already at work” (2 Thessalonians 2:7), which seeks to “cast off restraint” (Proverbs 29:18).
Left-wing agitators oppose not only God but every institution he has established, from the family to the church to the state. This is not only for a single day or single issue, but it has become a pattern, a habit, a lifestyle, a culture.
