  • The victory of Christ and His people is inevitable

    The Victory of Christ and His people is inevitable. We win. Get over it. There is no barrier that can forestall us. There is no Maginot line that can impede us. We will overcome all resistance. You will be assimilated to the Kingdom of God or you will die outside of it.

    Every battle we may lose serves the purpose of the sure certainty of victory in the War. Every one of us you may kill guarantees the rise of ten more of us to come after you with the Praise of God on our lips and a double edged sword in our hands.

    You cannot stop us. No weapon formed against us shall prosper. You cannot forestall your final defeat, you cannot reverse this certain triumph. Even your very thoughts will be made captive to Christ.

    Your Commander in Chief has already been defeated and all we are engaged in now is the mopping up of childish resistance as found in pockets of insanity.

    Plead for mercy now. Kiss the Son, lest He be angry and you perish in the way. Sue for peace and receive generous terms of surrender.

    Why will you die in your sin when you cannot win?

  • Every nation is a theocracy

    The idea that nations do not live under a theocracy is a man-centered theology. All nations have always lived under a theocracy: (1) a theocracy wherein such nation is blessed per Deuteronomy 28:1-14; or (2) a theocracy wherein that nation is cursed per Deuteronomy 28:15-68. The question, in terms of civil administration is one wherein such nation will seek the duties and consequences of the theocratic blessings or the rebellion and consequences of the theocratic cursings. Faithful Christianity seeks the first alternative. The idea that nations, as nations, can escape theocratic rule is a fallacy and a frontal assault on the claims and Crown of Jesus Christ – it denies in theory what happens in reality – the Sovereignty of God.
