Dark times appear to be on the horizon. The recent arrests in Ohio and Michigan coupled with the absurd letters from the equally absurd Guardians of the Free Republic have focused the governments attention on our basic freedoms, with the full intention to eliminating those it considers dangerous; and eliminating those who refuse to give up these freedoms. For the believer, these are dangerous times; discernment is a must. We may be drawn, by our mistrust of ceasar and his beast to ally ourselves with these Christian militia types; this is a mistake of catastrophic proportions. These groups are neither Christian nor a militia; they know not the Risen Savior. Nowhere did our Lord ask us to take up arms against any adversary, political ones included.
We are to serve one master, and the political fortunes of any country are insignificant. If we are His, our citizenship is in the Kingdom of God. We are to live at peace with all men to the best of our ability and keep a low profile; not drawing unwanted attention with meaningless political escapades.
The time will come, and soon I think, when we will be required to stand against the beast in His Power, for His Righteousness, for His Kingdom. This is not that fight! We are to be in the world yet not of the world, our fight is in the spirit, not of the flesh. This foolishness will only serve to ignite a massive retaliation by the authorities on all unwilling to submit to the beast. It is what they want.
Wait on the Lord, again I say wait. He is in total control of all times and seasons; and as long as we rest in Him and follow His Words, we have no need to fear and no need to ally ourselves with the ungodly no matter how much we may sympathize with their plight or their positions.
Remember, all is as it should be and His Plan is in full motion towards its certain completion and our help and interference is unnecessary - even dangerous - to us.
