We are living in an era where we are being told one thing, but the opposite is true. Think about some of the hard-core stances made by corporate media and the government that are now proven to be false:

• The COVID mRNA shots are both safe and reliable.
• There was no evidence of voter integrity issues.
• The Jan 6 protest was an insurrection.
• The US border is secure.
• The Hunter Biden laptop story is fake news.
• Joe Biden never took money from the Chinese.
• Climate change is the reason behind massive worldwide migration.
• Free speech must be protected from misinformation.

If you don’t believe this weaponized propaganda, you and people like you are threats to democracy, especially if you are a Christian.

This type of pressure is called soft tyranny. It’s a constant pressure. One that most people can’t quite come to grips with in their minds. They feel the heaviness, the restrictions, the hesitation to say what they are thinking for fear of reprisal in some way, shape, or form.

There are people who have put words to this phenomena. One is Jeffrey A Tucker, president of the Brownstone Institute, who, in a column for Epoch News, says of the Left:

“Their only hope at this point is to hold onto power through any means possible. It’s they who don’t believe in democracy. Indeed, they fear it more than ever, and in every respect. They are against it in politics but also in economics, education, culture, and media. Democracy means competition and consumer choice, whereas they want cartel-based control.”

Robert Knight, columnist for The Washington Times, writes:

“Their first order of business is to defeat former President Donald Trump by any means possible, wielding the legal system like a stiletto. The second is to get rid of as many election integrity safeguards as possible…. This is what “democracy” looks like in communist and Third World countries…. At some point, more Americans in every state need to wake up to the fact that elections have consequences and that “saving democracy” has become shorthand for one-party tyranny. Perhaps the donkey party could adopt a more honest slogan, such as: “Vote Democrat. Help destroy democracy.” Knight says, “By painting opponents as “threats to democracy,” they issue a license to would-be tyrants at all levels of government to silence speech.”

Layered on top of this march toward tyranny is the corporate media that shills the woke dogma with impunity, opinionizing from a godless Marxist worldview. One thing we hear a lot is how Christian Nationalists and White Nationalists are a threat to democracy, and the mouthpieces draw a direct line to Trump supporters. Hence, they pound the drum that all Christians and all white people and all Trump supporters are a threat to democracy—they have to dumb it down because America is a Constitutional Republic, not a true democracy. But why let facts get in the way? So, the dog whistle is constantly blowing.

Galatians 5:1 says, “Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ has made you free.”

The threats to your freedom are hiding in plain sight, and you hear them every day. To heed them is, say it with me… Stupidocrisy.

The Apostle Paul warned in 2 Timothy 3 of perilous times in the last days. He lists some 19 types of people that cause and allow these dangerous times. He says that these people “creep into houses and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led with diverse lusts, ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.” They “resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.”

Paul was most likely describing what many generations have seen as mankind rushes toward the time when people will not be able to accept good doctrine and want to hear and live by what tickles their ears. We are seeing this today, and it gets worse with each passing minute.

An indicator of such times is seen all around us. In America, on January 14-15, an estimated 100,000 pro-terrorist demonstrators tried to break down the security fence around the White House. Let me repeat, thousands of pro-terrorist demonstrators. They chanted “Free, Free Palestine,” “Palestine will be free,” and “Genocide Joe Must Go,” among many other hate-filled chants and slogans.

Similar demonstrations occurred in London, Paris, Dublin, Milan and Rome. These pro-terrorist demonstrations were well-organized and global. Herein, the ancient prophets’ words are being played out in layers before our very eyes.

On October 7—Islamic terrorists attacked, killed, kidnapped, dismembered, maimed, and raped Israelis, similarly to what is prophesied in Zechariah 14:2, “the houses rifled, and the women ravished, and half the city shall go forth into captivity.” And the prophets foretell that all the people of the earth will be gathered against Jerusalem.

When we see these things happen with such frequency, even here in our nation, we know that the time of the end is approaching even faster.

Around the world, the murder of the innocent has turned into a battle cry justifying the actions of the murderers. These are violent people with violence and hate in their hearts. They seek to see an entire people exterminated. Heaven forbid!

Those who disagree with these hate-filled mobs will be severely treated. Captivity lies in the traps of ignorance and willful disobedience to God’s word. Who will be able to stand in the gap?

The Apostle Paul writes in 2 Timothy 3:12, “Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.” It will be upon us. We can see it coming as the nation that prides itself on religious freedom continues to tighten the vice on Christians and Jews, and public opinion is swiftly turning against the people of God.

Paul writes in verse 14, “But continue in the things which you have learned and have been assured of…” As in Galatians 5:1, “Stand fast in the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free,” and Ephesians 6:13 “put on the whole armor of God” and “having done all, to stand.” Suit up. Perilous times are ahead.
