I wish I hadn't been right.

But a blind man should have seen this coming.

By storming the Capitol, our side gave the Left, the Globalists, the Media, and the Satanists what they craved the most: legitimacy. The stole the election, and they knew it. But there was doubt. Now all doubt has been removed.

Another writer put it best: Conservatives and Christians can now be treated with the same contempt as Branch Davidians. And trust me, we will.

I have no doubt that President Trump felt beyond frustration, not only at the stolen election, but 5 years of attacks on himself, attack on his family, lies, threats, and treachery. But he set up a rally that accomplished nothing except to hand a massive victory to our enemies.

As I have stated many times, what we needed were mass arrests of the guilty and court victories, but the FBI, DOJ, and the courts were not playing.

What President Trump did was akin to JFK sending the rebels to the Bay of Pigs without air or logistical support. They were massacred, and the massacre of Conservatives is now only beginning.

Imagine if, instead of throwing around profanity and rehashing the same talking points from his video from a couple of ago, there were only 2 speakers: himself and Franklin Graham. Trump could have prayed for our nation, prayed for justice, asked God for forgiveness, and given it all to God.

Perhaps President Trump did not fully grasp that his real opponents were powerful spiritual, evil forces. Or, perhaps he did. But in either case, it is clear he vastly underestimated them.

I have purposely stayed off Free Republic for the last few days, because I anticipated there would be a torrent of backbiting, accusations, finger pointing, anger, and recriminations. That is now in full swing. Rather than get drawn into all of the menacing and hostile political venom that will soon grow worse and worse, I will seek comfort in God's Word and the uplifting commiseration of fellow believers.

The purge of Conservatives and Christians from social media and the internet is now only in the opening stages. It will get much, much worse.

Whereas Leftist in the past could do this, with absolutely no criminal charges filed, Conservatives and Christians will soon be silenced and hounded if they voice any criticism of Biden/Harris, for fear of "violence."

Soon (I believe very soon) many Conservative websites will go dark. Free Republic as well (I don't make Vegas odds, but it's most likely better than average).

Of all the threads I perused this morning, only one struck me as telling the greater story. This one, by Pastor Bill Randles:

THIS Is Their Hour,And The Power Of Darkness

How right he is.

But he also wrote this:

"This is your hour…. It is given by God to the beast to “male war with the saints and even overcome them…”, but only for a brief and set time of testing. God is allowing evil to parade in all of its naked deformity to give all men a clear choice, before the final judgment falls. …and the power of darkness… . Darkness is not mere ignorance, rather it is the refusal to see and enter into the light. The unsaved people want this, they have insisted upon it, therefore for a brief moment, they are allowed to build their Utopia.This has happened because of years of resistance to the Holy Ghost, God is giving our societies up to what thay have long clamored for, a godless society ala Imagine, by John Lennon. God delights in hiding his glory and power in apparent weakness…remember David, the littlest one of Jesse? Remember the capture of the Ark of God by Pagans? How could Philistines be allowed to handle the earthly throne of the LORD and not die instantly, as Uzzah? Remember the cross of Jesus? It seemed then also that all that is Holy,good and decent had been profaned and trampled underfoot, but “weeping may endure for the night, but in the morning, shouts of Joy! Maranatha!"

God is our only fortress, and refuge.

So we need to pray, and seek His favor and protection.

On the physical side, hunker down and prepare yourselves as best you can with the things you and your family need. But we need to realize one stark, ugly truth: we must prepare for massive persecution. Because the construction of the Antichrist Kingdom is almost complete.

Take care all.

I don’t think it accomplished nothing.

It has shown us very clearly who the Deep State operatives are and what they think of us and what they plan on doing about us.

Better that the enemy be revealed and that people know what is coming.

Otherwise, I concur with everything else you said.

There’s a ton of conservatives who are hell bent with the war path.

They will utterly fail because if it’s not in God’s Will - He will not bless those efforts.

We fight by speaking up about the truth, condemning evil, and being a witness to Christ.

Those who get on their knees & do the Lord’s Will - seeking refuge in His High Tower, have the best chances of surviving whatever comes next (if that is even possible).

I can’t help but feel like Paul in moments like this. He lived his entire ministry life in this mode. We better get ready.

God Bless you both!

"But we need to realize one stark, ugly truth: we must prepare for massive persecution. Because the construction of the Antichrist Kingdom is almost complete."

The tools the man of sin will use are almost in place, but the kingdom of antichrist is not built until AFTER the redeemed are removed to the Father's House. That is why Paul stated 'Comfort one another with these sayings' and in several letters indicated that the Body of Christ Believers are not appointed to God's wrath but to obtain salvation and the redeemed are saved by The Christ from the wrath to come.

The seven years of Jacob's troubles do not begin until the pact Israel makes with death is signed. The Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb of God will not be here but in Heaven, at the Bema Seat while the UN REVEALED lawless one is fashioning his earthly kingdom, deceiving the many.

Between now and the signing of that pact with death by Israel there will doubtless be persecution of The Redeemed, but that is the satan's world persecuting Christians, not the wrath of God poured out upon humankind. Think of how many believers will be born again when they call upon the Lord to deliver them from satan's persecutions. These calling upon the Lord for deliverance are not Tribulation Saints.

In our now, the Grace of God is still active, birthing spirits of the unregenerate into the family of God's regenerate redeemed. We are not under God's condemnation because the redeemed have been born again into eternal living in God's reign.

The Tribulation, all seven years of it, will be focused upon Isrel and Jerusalem, but the entire world will be coming under the 'kingdom of antichrist so the ones not deprted to the Father's House will fall under the persecutions and out-pouring of God's wrath for their not believing in His Grace in Christ offered to them all prior to the wrath waves.

The term 'tribulation saints' does not refer to the Body of Christ / the Bride of Christ which God removes prior to the revealing of the lawless one and his establishing his earthly kingdom of lawlessness. No one will enter Heaven except through the Christ of God. Once God removes The Bride of Christ from the Earth, millions and millions show up in the Throne room, but they are to be invited guests for the Wedding feast, not members of the Bride.

The time span between the Great Departure and the revealing of the person who is called the man of sin, the lawless one is not given in scripture. BUT the Redeemed Bride of Christ is not on Earth when the pact with satan's man is signed by Israel. The 'bricks' to build the kingdom of antichrist are, as you point out so well, being fashioned right now. So the departure of the Redeemed In Christ's Body of Believers must be very near.
