I’m with you.
I mean, just this morning, I saw a post from a well-known Christian pastor & author. He wrote a piece called “What I predict for Nov. 9th”. In it, he stated that no matter what happens, or whoever is elected, God is still on His throne and will STILL be in charge as King of the Universe. He will not have lost any of His power, nor will anything we do change His love for us, and especially for those who claim Jesus as their Lord and Savior.
While that all may be absolutely and completely true (and thank God it is!), I don’t think many Christians realize how quickly things would escalate if Hillary is elected. I personally predict that we’d lose our freedom of religious beliefs within 2 years, our guns about the same time, and within three years we might be seeing actual imprisonment (and/or torture) of believers, ala China, North Korea, Cuba, or the old Soviet Union.
With a liberal-packed Supreme Court (and lower courts as well), activists of all stripes representing homosexuals, atheists, and other enemies of the Cross would be salivating at the chance to “get back” at those “nasty” Christians for all the “evil” they’ve said about them.
Churches would be shut down due having been sued for “hate speech” and having verdicts against them with fines and judgements that will bankrupt them in short order. Ministries that help the poor and the destitute would be forced to hire people who have beliefs that are the total opposite of the ministries they work for. If anything is said against them, WHAMMO! Instant lawsuit, charging “mental distress” and subjecting said ministry to shut down due to beggaring monetary judgements against them.
I could go on, but I think you get the picture. If Hillary is elected, like you said, be ready for persecution like you have never seen before.
The best strategy is to stick together, otherwise if the Democrats form a one-party state they will attempt to pick off their most vocal critics one at a time, starting at the more extreme end of the spectrum.
The usual tactic in lawfare is to try to link moderate opponents with demonstrable extremists like white nationalist groups.
The antidote is for all likely targets, such as Rush Limbaugh, Alex Jones, breitbart, this website, etc, to have a meeting of the minds and pledge to cover each other’s backs, the first one to become a target will have the immediate and complete assistance of all the others.
We learned this the hard way in Canada where this is already about half-way to completion (and it even started under a Conservative government, that is the power of the hidden hand in our societies).
The fatal mistake is to say, “I am not going to the wall for (so and so), he’s too extreme for my tastes,” because once he’s gone, you’re next as most extreme left standing.
And they will plant hate speech on your sites from trolls who then disappear into the woodwork when the lawsuits and prosecutions begin.
Take it seriously. I’m sure Hillary Clinton is of this mindset, even more than Obama whose one saving grace has been laziness. He had power that he could have used, and just didn’t get around to it.
She and her team have to be making plans for this right now. Within two months, we will see it happen.
Hoagy, I agree completely with you. In fact, I believe God is preparing us for that time. Our pastors at church have been echoing what I have heard other pastors speaking about, that the hatred and anger at believers, and Christianity in general, is more rapidly gaining speed. You see it both the MSM and social media. When you see a common thread like that, You know He is pouring out His Spirit upon His people, just as He prophesied.
The Lord also, and I’m sure you have noticed, is separating the wheat from the chaff. Those pastors and others who are watering down the gospel, who are becoming Muslim apologists and ridiculing those who will not conform to this world.
I believe you are right, and we will see churches closing and believers beginning to meet in secret...just like the early church. This world has tried to destroy the gospel and all mention of God’s Son, especiallyin preparation for the Beast.
Thank God that the gates of hell will NEVER prevail against it! May the Lord keep you and bless you, Hoagy.
