On the Surface
You thought you saw opposition during the election campaign. I believe that nothing then compares to what we will see now that President Trump actually has the power to fulfill his campaign promises.
I think his attempts to do the things he was elected to do will be opposed by the Left and by the Washington establishment with such ferocity and vitriol that it will stun most of us. Not only will the President and his allies be fought every step of the way by the Democrats and the liberal Left, but they will be resisted by establishment Republicans, the mainstream media, the crumbling European Union, many Muslims, the globalists who seek the elimination of all borders and national sovereignty, and millions of Americans who only get their information from the established media.
I think he will also be sabotaged by leftover elements of the Obama administration who remain in the intelligence and law enforcement agencies and will certainly be resisted by millions of federal bureaucrats who oppose any reduction in their numbers or their benefits.
Unlike any other President in the last 100 years, President Trump will also have to deal with public and behind-the-scenes opposition from his predecessor. Breaking longstanding tradition, President Obama has remained in Washington and set up shop within two miles of the White House. Returning to his roots (did he ever leave them?), he is back to community organizing and practicing the politics of division. He is actively building an organization, complete with professional staff and organized training programs, for the sole purpose of preserving his “legacy” and furthering the far-Left agenda he promoted in his second term.
A Deeper Look
There is so much more at work here than just domestic politics. I believe we will see a battle between the forces of evil (this is not hyperbole) and the forces of good (I would go so far as to say the forces of righteousness) that will require all of our determination to fight and willingness to intercede in prayer that we can muster.
A good example of this is the “Women’s March on Washington” that was staged the day after President Trump’s inauguration in Washington and cities elsewhere. Even London.
The mainstream media fawned over the crowds and the celebrities that attended. One outlet even called it a “huge, spontaneous groundswell.”
“Huge?” Maybe. “Spontaneous?” Far from it.
It was highly planned and promoted for weeks prior. It was sponsored by dozens of organizations that are committed to either hastening the moral decay of America or hastening the end of our open and free society.
One writer for The New York Times (oddly enough, a female Muslim and Trump supporter) studied the make-up of the march’s sponsorship. Here’s what she concluded: at least 56 of the sponsors receive funding from notorious globalist and anti-American George Soros.
The sponsors included a wide range of groups like the American Humanist Organization, Planned Parenthood, Communist Party USA, American Atheists, Amnesty International, the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), GLAAD, the National Abortion Federation, and Occupy Wall Street. Two things they all had in common (besides George Soros): they all oppose traditional American values and most of them — at their core — ultimately oppress women and children.
Most of the speakers used incendiary language and many were extremely vulgar. The march’s organizers even promoted headwear that was labeled with such double entendre that I won’t repeat it here. But a few years ago, even liberal feminists wouldn’t have used the term in public.
[…] we’re all familiar with the story of the great flood that destroyed almost all life on earth in the days of Noah. What most people don’t know is the astonishing story of what happened in the time before that calamitous event.
Unbelievably, humanity was even more depraved then than now. In fact, it was so corrupt and violent that God “was grieved that He had made man on earth, and His heart was filled with pain.” (Genesis 6:6 NIV)
Then it got worse! Satan launched an ingenious plan to invade the earth and corrupt mankind so that God could never enact the pre-human judgment He had pronounced on all the angels who had followed Lucifer’s rebellion.
He also saw this as a way to disrupt and destroy any plan God had for humanity’s redemption.
So his rebel angels assumed human form and beguiled women to marry them. The children from those unions were incredible. In fact, in the literal Hebrew translation of Genesis 6:4, God revealed to Moses that those children were “the supermen who from ancient times were famous for their incredible exploits.”
These were literal giants (from the Hebrew word Nephilim) who roamed the earth.
As the Nephilim infection spread, and the purity of the human race was threatened, God decided to “reboot” the human race. He chose Noah and his family because “Noah was a just man… and Noah walked with God.” (Genesis 6:9) But, he also chose him because “Noah… was perfect in his generations….” (Genesis 6:9)
That also means he was “perfect in his genealogy.” In other words, Noah was completely human. He was not from a family which had been intermingled with the fallen angels.
With Noah and his family safely in the ark, God destroyed the world with the great flood. He did it not only because of the terrible wickedness of humanity, but also to preserve humanity. The Nephilim all died in the flood. The fallen angels were bound in chains and cast into the darkest abyss to await final judgment.
This guaranteed that fallen angels could never again co-mingle with humans. It then cleared the way for God to enact His plan to redeem mankind from the sin it had chosen in the Garden of Eden.
Understanding the fall helps us understand the Old and New Testaments. It gives us further insight into God’s plan for humanity.
