Our Response to Secular Overthrow-Oath Keepers
First, I need to establish what I mean by "secular overthrow". It is obvious to many of us that the US Constitution is not being followed by those who swore to defend it. If you haven't read it for a while, you may follow a link in the left column to read it afresh. (It might make you mad to realize how far we've strayed.)
There are many foreign troops on American soil, based in American camps. Many think they may be here to do the enforcing of anti-gun laws that US citizen troops would be reluctant to enforce, when "they" come to "get our guns". When American citizens are rounded up into concentration camps for being "domestic terrorists" (search FEMA &/or REX 48 in the search box in the upper right hand corner for more info), US citizen forces may not be trustworthy to be emotionally detached. Apparently, carrying a bible, or having a copy of the Constitution is enough to qualify as "domestic terrorists" for some folks.
Israel was repeatedly set upon by foreign powers -under God's oversight- for her lack of repentance...until she repented, then God would deliver her again. And Israel is God's chosen nation. When Jesus comes back to establish the millennial kingdom, it will be in Israel! He will turn yet again to His chosen people. How can God not judge America when He has always judged the nations.
It isn't beyond the realm of feasibility to believe horrors are in store for those opposed to, and resistant to domination by forces against freedom. Count on it. Where ever communism has conquered a country, bloodshed has been horrendous. Many in the world salivate at the thought of the US coming under subjugation of her enemies, and it seems as though we have true "domestic terrorist' in control of our country. Research Council on Foreign Relations.
What the church needs to think about, if these things should come to pass, is NOT armed resistance as some right wing "Christian" groups would teach. Rather the church needs to think about the word of God! What did Jesus and the apostles teach? How does the old testament teach us victory was obtained?
The first thing the church needs to re-read is the sermon on the mount, starting in Matthew 5.
There is a bible reader in the left hand column if you need to read it. Go ahead, I'll wait. Come back and we'll keep going.
39. But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
43. Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
44. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
45. That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
46. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
47. And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
48. Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
Remember, when Jesus spoke these things, Jerusalem was filled with Roman soldiers. Israel was again a conquered nation.
How much did Jesus teach about overthrowing the evil interlopers? How many sermons did he use to rile the masses up against Rome? NEVER.
Paul was in and out of Roman prisons, appearing before Roman potentates, and appealing to Roman authority for the rest of a his life, until Rome finally took his head! How many sermons do you read from Paul about armed resistance against Rome? Not once.
Joseph was the kind of man we need to be, and Daniel, and Job, and Noah.
Ezek. 14:
12. The word of the Lord came again to me, saying,
13. Son of man, when the land sinneth against me by trespassing grievously, then will I stretch out mine hand upon it, and will break the staff of the bread thereof, and will send famine upon it, and will cut off man and beast from it:
14. Though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they should deliver but their own souls by their righteousness, saith the Lord God.
15. If I cause noisome beasts to pass through the land, and they spoil it, so that it be desolate, that no man may pass through because of the beasts:
16. Though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord God, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters; they only shall be delivered, but the land shall be desolate.
17. Or if I bring a sword upon that land, and say, Sword, go through the land; so that I cut off man and beast from it:
18. Though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord God, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they only shall be delivered themselves.
19. Or if I send a pestilence into that land, and pour out my fury upon it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast:
20. Though Noah, Daniel, and Job were in it, as I live, saith the Lord God, they shall deliver neither son nor daughter; they shall but deliver their own souls by their righteousness.
Noah was considered a nut case by everyone, until it started to rain. But he just kept being faithful, doing what God had called him to do. Live out your faith, Noah, and it will be alright! He worked by faith a long time waiting for that rain.
Job was apparently a true story. At least God thought it was the truth, or He wouldn't have told Ezekiel Job was righteous in his generation. Job lost everything, but retained his integrity! God blessed Job with twice as much as before his trials, when all was said and done. All is soon to be over for this generation too, and the faithful will receive our reward when He comes.
Joseph was faithful, even when it appeared God had forgotten him. God never forgot anyone, or anything except our sin when it went under the blood, and waters of repentance.
What evil befell Joseph was always in God's hands. It was designed by God for GOOD!
Daniel, like Joseph, was taken as a child into a foreign land, conquered physically, but never spiritually! Daniel, like Joseph, because he remained true to his faith, was blessed, and became a blessing to God's people. It didn't matter externally what was transpiring. Internally God was at the helm! We can do that too! Remain faithful to Jesus, the word of God made flesh. You may physically become a prisoner, but 2 Cor.3: 17 says... Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
Don't let your heart and mind be ruled by what your physical eyes see. Look with the eyes of the Spirit, see the world through the lens of God's word. If you are born again...a true child of faith in the word of God, in Jesus, the only redeemer...you can't lose. You can't be beaten, except externally. Paul was beaten externally, but was a real winner. All the apostles, save John, were martyred. Jesus, our example, was beated and murdered physically, but rose again. So shall we rise again, if we keep the faith.
Paul wrote...
Phil. 3
7. But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
8. Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
9. And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
10. That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
11. If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.
The Oath Keepers organization, as far as I can tell by their web site (attainable by clicking the title of this post) does NOT advocate violence. Their oath is to NOT obey orders to countermand the constitution. I agree with their oath. I do NOT countenance violence, not do I believe the scriptures give us liberty to do violence for any cause.

To the nightmare of Haiti, the Americans are coming
To the nightmare of Haiti, the Americans are coming
Follow the link to the article telling about how Americans rush to the rescue, amidst their own trials and tribulations.
But consider the possibility that the bible already told that we are a different kind of nation...
Daniel 7
1. In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream, and told the sum of the matters.
2. Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea.
3. And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another.
vs. 17 and 23 explain that these kings or kingdoms are nations that will arise in the world. Vs 9 shows these are all on the earth at the same time, at the tmeof the end!
4. The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it.
What nation has historically been represented in the press as a lion, cartoon lions to represent this country? England!
Daniel noted this lion had eagles wings that were plucked off, and the eagle was made to stand on its feet like a man, and a man's heart was given to it. What country is normally represented as an eagle? Really?! The USA! We are the only one it is said of that a man's heart was given to it. The USA is not just beast hearted, but has the heart of a man! Daniel witnessed the signing of the Declaration of Independence, symbolically!
5. And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh.
Russia! In 1945 there was one communist nation. Now the whole world is basically socialistic. What is the difference between a Communist and a Socialist? The time they are willing to bring about the same result. Communists use guns to enforce their revolution. Socialists use lawers and courts, and secret deals. Both are equally Red.
6. After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it.
Leopard=Panther. Think Panzer tanks. OK maybe a little stretch, BUT, these nations/kingdoms are represented as beasts. There is one nation/kingdom that has had 4 heads and has been recognizable as a world power as the rest of the beasts in this vision. Germany. Everyone knows about Hitlers 3rd Reich (kingdom). After the falling of the Berlin wall, and the reunification of the two Germanys, we see the healing of the deadly wound (the division of Germany- the separation of one of the heads) and the rise of the "Fourth and richest Reich", a book by Edwin Hartrich. The current Germany is the 4th head.
7. After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.
The WEU- only 10 with voting powers.
8. I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.
9. I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.
It appears that all these 4 beasts are removed from power at the same time, when Jesus returns to set up his millenial kingdom.
10. A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.
11. I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame.
12. As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time.
These beasts had their dominion taken away at the 2nd coming of Jesus. But there is yet 1000 years of earth life to live.
13. I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.
Revelation 13
1. And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. (John saw all these beasts becoming ONE AUTHORITY)
2. And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
3. And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. (Did the whole world wonder after the falling of the Berlin wall?)
4. And they worshipped the dragon (Satan) which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? (This World authority the Pope is wanting to empower?) who is able to make war with him?
5. And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
6. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
7. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
8. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
11. And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. (I believe this to be the Pope)
12. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.(United Nations) Remember these heads all belong to one beast now.
13. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14. And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
15. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
16. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17. And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
Boy, can we see how close we are to the end?
