Tyranny
The War of 2024
God designed human beings to value and seek three critical realities:
Truth. Goodness. Beauty (the cultural trinity).
Truth is the most important because it gives perspective to everything. Jesus declared and backed up with his life:
I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father but through me (John 14:6).
With the collapse of Western Judeo-Christian norms in the latter 20th and early 21st centuries, it’s becoming more difficult to know what’s true–in every area.
Here are some thoughts on the War of 2024 and knowing the truth.
Cultural Marxism
Why is the Western World, and the United States in particular, disintegrating so rapidly into chaos and authoritarianism?
I often point out its origin–Satan and the demonic world–which most media ignore, but also seek to analyze the human angle.
Recently, I read an article by Mike Gonzalez that made clear the ideology causing clashes in the streets today. It’s incidental whether the perpetrators are Antifa, Black Lives Matter, Hamas, and a host of other agitators.
We are fighting cultural Marxism.
If I Were the Devil
I’ve never been big on conspiracy theories though the blocking of the JFK assassination papers from the public makes me wonder what’s being hidden. Fortunately, in the the next life, everything will be revealed (Luke 12:3). I’m sure we’ll be shocked about “what really took place” in history.
I do believe in one conspiracy the Bible describes and is caricatured in C.S. Lewis’ The Screwtape Letters and Frank Peretti’s This Present Darkness:
The devil and his demons conspiring to destroy human beings.
During the past one hundred years, if I were the devil, what would I do?
