Joe Biden’s campaign kickoff speech was designed to establish that Joe Biden is Democracy and Donald Trump is authoritarianism. A vote for Biden is a vote to save Democracy. Those who vote for Trump are anti-Democracy extremists. That’s how his speech shaped up.

A democracy is defined as a government in which the supreme power is vested in the people through a system of representation usually involving periodically held free elections. The United States, however, is a Constitutional Republic where voters elect representatives to govern by rule of law. The difference is subtle but important. One is majority rule as supreme power. The other is representatives governing by rule of law.

So often, democracies turn into tyrannies. We have seen it in Iraq, Egypt, Nicaragua, Cuba, China, Russia, Gaza, Turkey, Venezuela, and so on.

>The majority is elected, then they move away from established laws into tyranny.

>Elections are held, but the electorate is only allowed to vote for candidates that represent the brand of democracy because all dissenting candidates are eliminated.

>Propaganda campaigns are conducted by the party-owned press.

>Endless investigations and trials against dissenters are guided by a weaponized “legal” system.

>People are oppressed by heavy-handed government administrators that target dissent.

>Constant rhetoric of freedom and benevolence is aimed at the population.

Biden mentioned Democracy some 30 times in his speech. He wrapped his brand of Democracy in the American flag and the values of freedom. Yet, the very things that he said he supported—the freedom to vote, to speak out, to have opportunity, to be equal—he acts against. He is using the court system to oppress the vote, government-corporate media to censor dissent, administrative law to elevate special interests above the common good, and snuffing out opportunity with his economic policies.

He said, “We’re living in an era where a determined minority is doing everything in its power to try to destroy our democracy for their own agenda. The American people know it, and they’re standing bravely in the breach.” This is true. But it is a minority of the extreme left that is destroying America. And a few of us are trying to stop it.

Biden’s brand of Democracy is built on supreme authority and lawlessness. You must comply with this tyranny or face the bullying, name-calling, agency and court harassment, and labeling that accuses you of doing exactly what they are doing.

The American Ideal has been hijacked. The government is god in the Democratic leadership’s eyes, and the party elite are this god’s vicars. As followers of Christ, we know that we are to have no other gods before God Almighty.

The Democratic Party and the administrative state mocks God with their assumption of supreme authority.

Galatians 6:7 says, “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.”

Question is: how long will Americans allow themselves to be mocked by a tyrannical, immoral mob that elevates itself above the highest authority?

We are beginning the year 2024 with many great uncertainties. There are wars and rumors of wars. Certainly, Israel is God’s timepiece, and our eyes’ focus on the Middle East will lend us discernment of the times.

There is turmoil in much of the world that has been generated by the October 7, 2023, terrorist attack by Hamas against the unarmed men, women, and children of Israel. The nations surrounding Israel are also talking of war. Missiles are being shot from Lebanon and Gaza. Syria remains hostile. Iran has its “advisors” on the ground in Lebanon and Gaza. Turkey’s leadership speaks favorably of Hamas. There are riots around the world by those supporting Hamas. The world is becoming even darker.

Here in the United States, there is medical, political, and economic disruption. The federal government has joined with big pharma to control you through fearmongering about your health. The political elite are using politically appointed judges and the administrative/deep state to undermine your vote and choose the leaders they want to rule over you.

In addition, there are Marxist forces at every level of government using their positions to attack your rights as citizens and as parents. The public school system is a breeding ground for anti-God, anti-parental rights, and statism. The government and corporate media are conspiring to censor your thoughts and voice. The economy is heavily influenced by leftist theories and social scoring.

Even churches are in a disruptive phase. The forsaking of teaching sound doctrine in deference to feel-good, emotional, political correctness, and self-indulgence has succumbed to a falling away. The cumulative effect is a tremendous exodus of young people who see “church” as feckless and hypocritical.

We have fast approached the time, if we are not in it already, prophesied in 2 Timothy 4:3, “For there will be a time when they will not endure sound teaching, but according to the own desires, having an itching ear, they will gather around them teachers to suit themselves.”

The instability of double-mindedness has become the norm, and those who discern well are looked upon with disdain.

These are days of great testing. They are the days when we, as disciples of Christ, must remember who we are. As Christ said in Matthew 5:14-16, “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it gives light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”

1 Peter 2:9 says, “But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that you should show forth the praises of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.”

Whilst we live in our home nation, we are royal priests making up a holy nation set apart to do the work of the Father. No matter the condition of the world, let us remember who we are.
