White Supremacy Is Imploding

A few days ago the world stood aghast as, by many accounts, a violent, riotous mob scaled the walls of the United States Capitol building, stormed the halls of Congress, and staged a vicious and violent attack on the citadel of democracy. It was a boldfaced insurrection before our very eyes.

What of democracy?

If democracy had a birth, America delivered it. If democracy has a core, the USA forms it. If democracy has a nucleus, the United States of America is it. But the developments this week force me to add—if democracy had a life, we all but killed it. If democracy had a foundation, we all but shattered it. But not so. In but a few hours, after the purveyors of democracy, who shuddered and cowered in fear at the advance of the raging mob, had collected themselves, mobilized their troops, harnessed their strength, democracy rose again with healing in its wings, and, riding the tide of popular local and international support and the authority of the Constitution, busted out from their bunker to reclaim the bastion of its birth.

Flag-waving, banner-brandishing, supporters of the outgoing president of the US, at his beckoning and incitement, descended upon the nation’s capital on January 6, 2021 to coincide with and crash the meeting of the joint session of Congress in which the lawmakers were scheduled to ratify the electoral college votes, as a formal end to the Nov. 3 General election for which Joe Biden was declared winner and designated president-elect.

Refusing to accept the result of the elections, these rioters, having been daily misinformed by their leader that the party he leads won the election by a landslide, they came with the resolve to “take the people’s house back,” as one assailant was heard to say. They came from states as far away as California, Montana and those between, and some close. They came in the name of democracy, even while disregarding its basic tenets, for democracy is made of sterner stuff. They are crusaders. They're gun-slingling crusaders of the kind that will kill you in the name of Jesus because you don't agree with them. They came to takeover, they came to disrupt, they came to destroy, but not only that-they came to be wild. It was unquestionably the garbage of White supremacy imploding with the debris of a failed Evangelical insurrection! And you bet, they’re not done yet because the mission failed.

The Capitol police were overwhelmed as the marauding mob wielding TRUMP 2020 and Confederate flags, Jesus 2020 and Christian flags stormed their posts. Proud Boys claiming to be “God warriors” and not-so-proud boys carrying “Jesus Saves" banners, attacked the Capitol building and sent bewildered congressmen, congresswomen, senators, and even the vice-president of the US (one of their own), cowering in fear, as they beat it to their bunkers. Awestruck, the rest of the world looked on from afar, wondering aloud if democracy was being destroyed in its mother’s domicile, thereby prompting calls from several allies of this great land to urge the citizens of the US to respect the results of a free and fair election.

How did we get here?

It is not lost on me that for decades we have watched the USA lecturing, condemning, even destabilizing other countries because we claimed that their elections were rigged. We’ve sent election watchers/observers to here, there, everywhere, to help secure their free and fair elections. Case in point, to this day, after several years of the Venezuela election, we still do not recognize President Maduro as the legitimate leader of that country. That the USA has now come to this simply seems unthinkable! But not if you know our history and Bible prophecy.

White supremacy is imploding.

Understand that this republic was created with religious ideals. Evangelicalism emerged simultaneously with democracy. Thus, in the minds of many Evangelicals, they are one and the same. It's also critical to note that when George Whitefield and Jonathan Edwards popularized evangelicalism in the newly formed republic, Whitefield was a slave owner. And so was every bishop in the established church, the Church of England (Anglican Church). In fact, Whitefield believed in enslaving Black people so much that upon his death he bequeathed his slaves to the Countess of Huntingdon, another slave owner. Thus the church became the main perpetrator of white supremacy.

What we saw in Washington D.C. on Wednesday January 6, 2021 was just the partial implosion of that American White supremacy, fueled by evangelicalism. And it’s not done yet. But like all evil, it will end one day soon.

They have an attitude akin to religious fanaticism based on evangelical heresies.

All humans were created in the image of God, so ultimately we are one people. But this is not generally believed by most Evangelicals. The nonsense of White Supremacy has resulted from the sin in this world and it is being bolstered by evangelicalism on the basis of erroneous biblical theology. But God’s going to eradicate sin.

Make no mistake, if Black people had attempted to scale the walls of the Capitol, they would have been dropping dead a dozen at a time and flying off the side of those walls like zapped flies. But ultimately evil cannot win. You see, the fear that grips the heart of the bigots when they see brown and black people occupying certain offices and progressing in other sectors of the US economy is born of racism and is at the heart of this terrorism. And even then, after such shameful and reprehensible display of willingness to strike at the very seat of this democratic republic, many elected officials would refuse to condemn it, after others not so subtly incited it. That's because they aided it. They created the atmosphere for it. Then they incited it.

Many of these mobsters identify with the Evangelical Movement in America whose sinister intent is to forcibly establish theocratic rule under the guise of democracy. Hence it is not surprising that many notable Evangelical leaders have kept noticeably quiet about this insurrection. For centuries they been misguided by their theological fallacy that is deeply rooted in eschatological heresies. Heresies such as the one that is disputed right in Acts 1:10-11—“And while they were gazing into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white robes, and said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.” That is NOT a secret appearing.

Evangelicals believe and teach that the Christ will come again to reign on the earth and that there will be a secret rapture of the faithful before the Great Tribulation that precedes the millennium (1,000 years, Rev. 19). They developed the erroneous teaching of a secret rapture that will take place before the second coming of Jesus the Christ. After they're whisked away to heaven, they teach, the tribulation will come. And ultimately, the kingdom of God will have its headquarters in current Jerusalem, where they argue the new temple will be built. They'll then return to dwell there. None of this is supported in the Scriptures. Yet these are the heresies that are driving them, coupled with the unscientific and racist teaching of an anthropological pyramid with Whites permanently at the top and Blacks at the bottom.

God created all humans as equals. It is true that theocracy is the form of government in the heavenly realm. That's because we have a righteous God, who is loving and fair to all. Since the days of his ancient prophets he has not had an earthly theocracy that he ordained. He has not instructed Christians to make one of the USA.
