Civil War II is Here: Are Patriots Fighting for the Right Side?

TLB.News | July 8, 2019

There is no doubt the United States of America is in an intense internal conflict. Once or twice a week one can read an editorial that asks: Is America heading for a Civil War? But make no mistake, America is already in a state of civil war.

Historically warfare has been defined in terms of invading ground troops, naval battles, and for the last 80 years or so by aerial bombardments and missile strikes. Following World War II however modern warfare has been increasingly fought along ideological lines rather than through kinetic action.

According to Encyclopedia Britannica the Cold War was:

…the open yet restricted rivalry that developed after World War II between the United States and the Soviet Union and their respective allies. The Cold War was waged on political, economic, and propaganda fronts and had only limited recourse to weapons. The term was first used by the English writer George Orwell in an article published in 1945 to refer to what he predicted would be a nuclear stalemate between “two or three monstrous super-states, each possessed of a weapon by which millions of people can be wiped out in a few seconds.”

More broadly, Merriam Webster defines a cold war as:

1 : a conflict over ideological differences carried on by methods short of sustained overt military action and usually without breaking off diplomatic relations specifically… 2 : a condition of rivalry, mistrust, and often open hostility short of violence especially between power groups (such as labor and management)

Thus it is very clear that the U.S. is currently in the throes of a Cold Civil War. It’s an all out culture war and a full scale information war that is defined primarily by narratives and counter-narratives. Technological platforms are the battleground. And the prize is whose ideals, values and system of morality will prevail.

Will the ethos of globalism and collectivism win the day, ‘liberating’ society from traditional and ‘backwards’ morality? Or will the principles of right and wrong that derive from the Ten Commandments and the Sermon on the Mount make an unlikely comeback after being all but eradicated from the public square in this country?

It is disturbing to see so many godless conservatives and libertarians who are engaging in the culture war with vigor and passion and yet want nothing to do with the Church, the Bible, or the Lord Jesus Christ. These types are all too eager to sling mud at the progressive left and to tear down and attack people instead of focusing on ideas.

Their vices are more mainstream. They may not do meth or heroin but they love alcohol and marijuana. They may not be drag queens but fornicating and shacking up are perfectly natural and no big deal. And they are sadly addicted to degenerate films, music and pop culture that is most suitable for the trash bin.

And if their internet bravado is to be believed they are itching at the chance to start shooting at Liberals and Muslims.

Question: Are these people really on the right side? Are they on God’s side?

Or are they Satan’s cannon fodder who will be used and discarded at the right time to bring about a global government, a new world religion and the dark reign of the soon-coming Antichrist?

Before the tribulation begins judgement must inevitably begin with the Church.

For it is time for judgment to begin at the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God? – 1 Peter 4:17

The Church of Jesus Christ in America must repent. She must come out of America Babylon and be separate.

Therefore go out from their midst, and be separate from them, says the Lord, and touch no unclean thing – 2 Corinthians 6:17

Godless conservatives and libertarians want no part of this. But to be fair neither does the Laodicean Church in America. Instead of chasing after a vague political victory that is always just around the corner but that somehow never quite arrives, the Church must fight her battle on a Spiritual level.

For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ, being ready to punish every disobedience, when your obedience is complete. – 2 Corinthians 10:4-6

This is a battle for hearts and minds. Will the Church be wholly devoted to God and His Heavenly Kingdom, or will she have a divided heart and mind that still partly wants to belong to this world that is ruled by Satan from his throne in the Second Heaven?

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. – Ephesians 6:10-12

Satan is all too happy to have the Church occupied and side-tracked by picking sides politically and focusing on the Deep State and Democrats. The Church for the most part is in a hamster wheel not gaining any ground! Steve Quayle is spot on when he says that there are no political solutions to spiritual problems.

Godless conservatives and libertarians want the government to leave them alone but liberty apart from God leads to decadence which is a big part of how America got into this mess to begin with.

Only liberty that is based on submission to almighty God and the freedom of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ will create a culture that is fundamentally different from the rot that currently rules the day. A Church that is truly salt and light will attract the ungodly because it will look different from anything else on earth.

The Bible does not mandate absolute pacifism but to throw in one’s lot with godless conservatives and libertarians itching for a fight and independence from even God is not a holy cause.

Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few. – Matthew 7:13-14
