BLM and the Witch of Endor

I’ve just finished Dr. Michael Brown’s must-read WND column “Jezebelic: BLM leaders call on the spirits of the dead.” His articles are always excellent, but this one has special importance because it touches on the role of the demonic in spiritual warfare. In particular, it describes conduct by the Marxist lesbian founders of Black Lives Matter that is specifically showcased in the Bible as a warning to humanity in the “cautionary tale” of King Saul’s visit to the “Witch of Endor” in 1 Samuel 28.

The age-of-apostasy, which the Bible predicts is the social/spiritual context preceding the Antichrist kingdom and second coming of Christ, has begun. WND readers are all likely familiar with the recent dramatic growth of the Church of Satan, a cult especially favored by LGBTs since its founding in 1966 [Warning: links to LGBT source.] and has recently become very politically active.

Some will also recall that on April 19-21, 2016 (immediately preceding Passover on the 22nd) the “Arch of Baal” from Palmyra, Syria began a world tour of key capitals that included London, NYC, Washington DC, Dubai, and numerous cities in the EU.

Demonic spiritual activity is clearly on the rise in the world today.

Dr. Brown reported that BLM co-founder “Abdullah stated…‘we become very intimate with the spirits that we call on regularly. Right, like, each of them seems to have a different presence and personality. You know, I laugh a lot with Wakisha, you know, and I didn’t meet her in her body. Right, I met her through this work.’ ” And he recounted that when “Abdullah met with a BLM group in front of the house of Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti: ‘She led the group in a ritual… reciting of names of those taken by state violence…George Floyd. Asé. Philandro Castille. Asé. Andrew Joseph. Asé. Michael Brown. Asé. Eric Garner. Asé. Harriet Tubman. Asé. Malcom X. Asé. Martin Luther King. Asé’ … while she ‘poured libations on the ground as the group…chanted ‘Asé,’ a Yoruba term often used by practitioners of Ifa, a faith and divination system that originated in West Africa.’ ”

I instantly recognized the similarity to the system of conjuring demons described in 1 Samuel 28.

“Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had lamented him and buried him in Ramah, his own city…When Saul saw the camp of the Philistines, he was afraid and his heart trembled greatly. When Saul inquired of the LORD, the LORD did not answer him, either by dreams or by Urim or by prophets. Then Saul said to his servants, ‘Seek for me a woman who is a medium, that I may go to her and inquire of her.’ And his servants said to him, “Behold, there is a woman who is a medium at En-dor….Then Saul…came to the woman by night; and he said, ‘Conjure up for me, please, and bring up for me whom I shall name to you’ …. And he said, “Bring up Samuel for me’ …. And the woman said to Saul, “I see a divine being coming up out of the earth.” He said to her, “What is his form?” And she said, “An old man is coming up, and he is wrapped with a robe.” And Saul knew that it was Samuel, and he bowed with his face to the ground and did homage.”

Samuel was NOT a “divine being” and the Bible offers no support for the notion that living humans can communicate with the dead. We also know that Saul had already lost God’s anointing and it was Samuel who pronounced this to him in 1 Samuel 13:13. This is why God had not answered Saul’s prayer in the first place. In fact God had assigned a “Spirit of Distress” to punish Saul (1 Samuel 16:14, 18:10), apparently for not abdicating his throne after God had removed His anointing. For all these reasons, this “Samuel” conjured by the Witch of Endor was not the deceased prophet, but a demon posing as Samuel.

Back when I led the daily morning Bible study at our Holy Grounds Coffee House inner-city mission, there was a troubled young woman who occasionally attended and one morning, when it was her turn to speak as we went around the table discussing the Scripture chapter of the day, she claimed she had been speaking the previous night with her dead grandmother. When I diverted the study to discuss the story of Saul and the Witch, she jumped to her feet in a demonic rage and began cursing the group for “blaspheming Jesus Christ” as she bolted for the door. It was one of the clearest manifestations of demonic activity of several that occurred in those years.

Spiritual warfare is real, as is the army of many individual demons on that battlefield. Also real is Holy Spirit blessing for believers who fight the spiritual war in a state of surrender to Christ and attentiveness to His guiding hand. All believers are qualified to claim this blessing, which I know from personal experience is often unlocked in one’s life by perseverance through persecution in the cause of truth. Persecution is the refiner’s fire. This is the profound truth underlying James 1:2’s admonition to “count it all joy” when you face any form of tribulation in your life. When, “having done all to stand, you STAND!” despite everything Hell can throw at you, God pours out such grace that even when being stoned to death like Steven, your awareness of His pleasure in your faithfulness so transcends all worldly considerations that your countenance shines like that of an angel.

God’s hand of guidance becomes more obvious the more you live in the surrendered state, which I wish I did more constantly than I do. But today I recognize His providence in causing Dr. Brown to write his article just as I was preparing to release the 5th installment of my book Dynasty of Darkness, which segment “just happens” to be on the demonic possession of King Saul, and the spiritual warfare aspects of David’s conquest of the Antichrist Goliath. (If you’re not already on my list to get these installments automatically, email me at scottlivelyministries@gmail.com.)

God bless you, Doc Brown, for your perseverance in speaking hard truths other shrink from defending – especially in the verboten topic of recovery from same-sex attraction disorder – which most believers don’t realize is probably the hottest spot on America’s spiritual battlefield today, and is directly connected to the outpouring of demonic chaos in our burning cities and the pervasive satanic deception of our fellow citizens, because “the wicked prowl on every side when vileness is exalted among the sons of men” (Psalm 12:8).

In its pre-election purge of conservative scholarship and inconvenient historical truths, Amazon has just banned my book The Pink Swastika: Homosexuality in the Nazi Party, which I co-authored in 1995 with Orthodox Jewish Holocaust researcher, Kevin Abrams.  I will discuss that below, but first a word about the “cancel culture” and where the American version of it started.

“Cancel culture” is a social-pressure based system of  political transformation that relies heavily on malicious propaganda to “educate” and “inspire” hard left activists who then carry out attacks on designated targets. Long before the term was coined, there were “fringe” conservatives like me for whom being “cancelled” was just day-to-day life.  We were the ones who rose up during the Reagan Revolution to oppose Cultural Marxism before most conservatives even knew what it was. In fact, even today, with the term “Marxism” on the lips of nearly every conservative, most still don’t realize that the point of the Marxist spear now stabbing through the heart of our Constitutional Republic has always been the LGBT movement.  

Few remember that the “Father of the American Gay Movement,” Harry Hay. (who marched for NAMBLA in the early “Gay Pride” parades) was a teacher of Marxist theory and tactics for eighteen years before he founded America’s first lasting “gay rights” organization in 1953, the Mattachine Society.  

Fewer still remember that the Frankfort School founder of Cultural Marxism (and predecessor to Saul Alinsky), Herbert Marcuse, saw Hay’s growing network of “gay” activist cell groups as the army that would make his vision a reality in America.  Who better to fight what Marcuse considered the primary barrier to Marxist utopia, “the repressive order of procreative sexuality,” by implementing his solution, “the disintegration of the…monogamic and patriarchal society” ?

And when the “gays” fully embraced Marcuse’s radicalism in the Stonewall Riot of June 28, 1969 (featuring an attempt to burn police alive in the Stonewall bar – just like today’s BLM/Antifa rioters in the Portland federal building), the outright dismantling of marriage and family-based society became a priority of the left, producing most of the social crises of the past fifty years, from the legalization of abortion in 1970 to the wholesale collapse of the nuclear family in the 90s, to the normalization of transgender mutilation of children happening today; and all of their secondary effects including epidemic levels of crime, poverty, mental illness, cultural fragmentation and sexual deviance.  

Heck, how many conservatives remember to whom Hillary Clinton was speechifying when she called Trump supporters “a Basket of Deplorables?”  It was a large gathering of “gay” power-brokers and major donors at the “LGBT for Hillary” fundraiser in New York.  

It’s no mere coincidence that Trump’s most vicious attackers in the media are homosexuals, from Anderson Cooper, to Chris Johnson to Rachel Maddow, or that funding for the Steele Dossier is linked to LGBT mega-donor, billionaire Paul Singer, whose son is an open homosexual. I bring up Singer, because he’s the one who funded the “Export of Hate” Dossier in 2012 naming me Public Enemy #1 of the global LGBT agenda

That dossier was a milestone in my long sojourn through the “cancel culture:” It was published by the world’s largest LGBT organization, the  “Human Rights Campaign,” to bolster the 6 ½ year major federal lawsuit against me, alleging my non-hateful, non-violent preaching against homosexuality in Uganda constituted “Crimes Against Humanity.”  I only survived that legally frivolous and ethically outrageous attempted “cancellation” of my Biblical worldview (driven by a Soros-funded Manhattan-based Marxist law firm) by the intervention of Liberty Counsel which spent over a million dollars to defend me.

The “cancel culture” got its start long before I became the spokesman for the Oregon “No Special Rights Act” in 1991 (a version of which was passed in Colorado, and later struck down in the SCOTUS case of Romer v Evans).  But in that Oregon campaign, the form of “cancel culture” we’re seeing today – a multi-layered conspiracy of media, politicians, corporations, non-profits, and violent Brownshirt street activists – was born.  

The “Bigot-Buster Squads” the LGBTs deployed in 1992 to intimidate our petition signers, and destroy petition forms evolved over the next decade into the LGBT “doxing” of petition signers of Proposition 8 and other CA pro-family ballot measures.  Today “doxing” is used against anyone opposed to any Marxist goal. Likewise, the mob-pressured cancelling of our Oregon pro-family speakers and venues was an LGBT tactic later adopted against all conservative speakers. Likewise, the widespread use of fake hate crimes to influence public opinion during political contests started with the Oregon LGBTs.

Cancellation efforts against me personally escalated when Kevin and I wrote The Pink Swastika, a thoroughly documented defense of Jewish history in rebuttal to cynical LGBT effort to fabricate a “Gay Holocaust” for political advantage.  That made me one of the very first pro-family targets of the Southern Poverty Law Center. SPLC’s totally dishonest portrayal of the book as “discredited” (citing a small handful “gay” activist academics), and Kevin and I as “Holocaust revisionists” – exactly the opposite of our role – has ever since been used by liberals of every stripe to smear and “cancel” me in every possible way.

I’m surprised ultra-leftist Amazon took so long to ban The Pink Swastika, perhaps because it had so few sales there (probably because we give the book away for free in digital form to anyone who requests it, but perhaps due to Amazon’s own behind-the-scenes suppression of sales).  Nevertheless, it irks me greatly that the virtual monopolies that make up “Big Tech” are getting away with such obvious politically-motivated censorship.

If it were just me, I’d likely turn the other cheek.  But since it now affects our entire nation and its future, I say it’s time we started cancelling back – as soon as Trump gets re-elected.

In my sunrise commentary of August 24th (above) I explained why I believe Donald Trump will win by a margin so huge that all the cheating planned by the Democrats will turn out to be wasted energy. Cheating only works in close races (because there’s only so many dead people from whom the cheaters can harvest ballots) which is why the lying leftist media and corrupt pollsters always portray every key race as closer than it is.

Cheating to victory is all about plausibility. But I believe the massive Trump victory will be so obvious by mid-October that all the pre-staging the Dems are doing for a vote-by-mail delayed ballot-count will be pointless. They won’t give up on it, because it’s all they’ve got, but it won’t work – at least not in the perspective of the Trump majority, who will know by then they really are victorious (and act accordingly in response to leftist terrorism and propaganda).

These are the reasons for my optimism

First, as a long-time Christian social and political activist my rule of thumb has always been to add 5% to the conservative side in any key election to account for leftist misrepresentation of the race, and for voter reluctance to give their true opinion to pollsters on candidates and ballot questions the media smears as “controversial.” Many people simply don’t trust the supposed anonymity of the polling process. My 5% rule has been pretty close in quite a few cases, but I don’t think it is enough of a compensation for polling on Donald Trump, the most maligned political candidate in US history – by far. And this smear of Trump has happened in our new era of politics when the malicious public exposure of private information about people the left wants to punish for opposing their agenda has become so common that the term describing it, “doxxing,” has become almost a household word (thanks to LGBT radicals in California who started the trend in the 1990s as a tactic for suppressing petition signature-collection on pro-family ballot measures). Thus, I think it’s necessary to add at least 10% to get a proper handle on Trump’s support.

Second, in line with the first reason, is the psychological phenomenon of passive-aggression among people who have been forced to comply with policies and perspectives they don’t agree with. Most people “go along to get along” when they believe there may be a price to pay for bucking what they perceive is the majority view, or, in this case, the punishment-enforced minority view. They’ll grin and bear it – and perhaps even engage in “virtue-signaling” as an act of self-defense – but inside they smoulder with resentment against those holding them prisoner against their will. When the opportunity presents itself to strike back, they do so passionately, even if secretly (as in the voting booth).

Third, Trump is a great campaigner, but he’s been mostly hanging back letting the riot-loving Democrat governors and mayors educate the American voters on the true nature of socialism. Now that he has the official GOP nomination, he’ll start doing what he does best: political warfare. Except this time he’s not a renegade charging the castle, he holds the castle and all of its assets, and has spent the last four years building an army to defend it.

Fourth, mental health issues aside, Joe Biden is perhaps the worst candidate the Democrats have ever nominated. Originally intended (in my view) to be just a placeholder for Elizabeth Warren during the early-elimination rounds of the campaign process, this life-long go-to water-boy for the Dem elites, got stuck holding the bag when Warren got sunk by her Fake-Indian scandal and the rest of the Dem field got sabotaged by Bernie Sanders Communists. That forced Biden to pick rotten apple Kamala Harris, because her fellow-travelers have taken over the Dem ship like drunken mutineers. Meanwhile, top Dem Nancy Pelosi (third in succession to the presidency) was forced to transition from “faux-moderate” to AOC clone in order to retain her relevance in the now chaos-riven party.

On top of that, Biden’s mental health is obviously deteriorating rapidly and no amount of media spin can hide that. He can’t stay in the basement till November. He’s going to have to make public appearances, and to debate Trump LIVE. His campaign stands a good chance of going down like the crash of the Hindenberg if he tries campaigning publicly, vs dying on the vine if the Dems keep him in hiding. It’s lose/lose for Sleepy Joe.

Fifth, Trump has perfected the art of political poaching from ALL the Democrat constituencies. He’d already made massive inroads with blue collar workers (by rebuilding our manufacturing base) and Catholics (the pro-life issue). Since then his pro-Israel policies have gained many Jewish votes. His (unfortunate) “gay”-affirming policies have poached many homosexuals (but at what cost to Republican principles?). He’s (laudably) poached so many Black voters that the panicked Dems have maxed-out their BLM intimidation and “group-think” efforts to try and preserve that voting bloc (which appears to be back-firing). Even the feminists are feeling the pull of Trump’s political magnetism due to his defense of womens’ sports from the transgender movement’s destructive encroachment.

Sixth, is the economic rebound. For better or worse, Trump’s response to the “lockdown-to-cause-economic-takedown” strategy of the globalists has been to print trillions in new money. Whatever long-term effects this may have, a short term economic boom and bullish stock market is already happening. That, combined with the unlocking process he (and public unrest) has forced the state governor’s to grudgingly enact will significantly influence voter psychology to his benefit.

Seventh, is the energizing of the all-important evangelical voters. I think the main reason for excessive church lockdowns was not mere hostility to Christianity, but to prevent Covid 19 fear-mongering from driving security-seeking non-believers into church. Whatever the motive, the left doesn’t realize the role of persecution in stirring the passion of true believers. That passion will likely create a tsunami of Christian voters in November.

A caveat in closing. If, as I have previously speculated, the globalists drop the “Mother of All October-Surprise Bombs”on us (like a new pandemic or a global economic meltdown), these factors might be made moot. But given the factors known today, I’m predicting a mega-MAGA-Trump victory.

Biblical Patterns in Prophecy

I’ve been publishing my prophecy books in serial form and have this week released Part 4 of “The Prodigal Son Prophecy: God’s Amazing Plan for the Restoration of the Two Hebrew Houses and the Salvation of the Gentiles.” This 4th installment encompasses the first half of Chapter Two: “The Significance of the Sevens,” in which I address God’s timekeeping system in Leviticus 23 and 25 (which is based on cycles of seven) and other Biblical patterns. My focus in this article is the phenomenon of patterns-of-three in prophecy, specifically the pattern of three prophesied desolations of Jerusalem in the Book of Daniel and three iterations of the Passover pattern in Biblical history.

First the Daniel pattern. I believe the prophecies in Daniel regarding the desolation of the Temple are often misunderstood for the simple reason that students attempt to conflate into one prophetic event what I believe are three separate historical iterations of a thematic pattern. Complicating the matter further is the “preterist” vs “futurist” debate over the question of whether the three-in-one conflated prophecy of desolation was fulfilled in AD 70 or is a still future event.

However, by considering whether the three Daniel passages at issue describe not one but three separate events with a common theme, it is easy to recognize four common elements in each: there are three distinct Antichrist figures, three distinct “deliverer” figures, three distinct historical settings of the City of Jerusalem, and three distinct Abominations of Desolation. (Importantly, it is God, not Antichrist, who desolates the land as an act of judgment on mankind –for the land’s sake – a point I explain at length in the chapter.)

Daniel 9:24-27 is chronologically the second iteration of the Desolation of Jerusalem pattern, though first in order in the text. In it the Antichrist figure is the Roman General Titus, later to become Emperor. The deliverer figure is Jesus. And the setting is the City of Jerusalem in the last generation before the destruction of the Second Temple. The Abomination of Desolation could have been the decree of the Jewish religious authorities rejecting Jesus, and if so, the sentence of desolation was judged by Christ in Matthew 23:37-38, and executed by Titus in 70AD. Alternately, the Abomination of Desolation could have been the statue of wicked Emperor Caligula erected in the Temple in 40AD, punished in 70AD.

Daniel 11:29-45 is the first iteration chronologically but second in order in the text. The Antichrist figure is Antiochus IV Epiphanes. The deliverer figure is Judah Maccabee (Judah the Hammer), founder of the Hasmonean Dynasty of Hebrew Kings. The setting is the City of Jerusalem in 167BC and the Second Temple. The Abomination of Desolation of Daniel 11:31was likely a bust of Antiochus himself, placed on the Altar of God.

Daniel 12:1-4 is the third, still future iteration of the Desolation of Jerusalem pattern. The Antichrist figure will be the end-time Antichrist. The deliverer will again be Jesus Christ. The setting will be the City of Jerusalem during the reign of the Antichrist, and either a rebuilt Third Temple, or possibly just the altar (for which we see a precedent in Ezra 3:1-6). The Abomination of Desolation is not clearly identified, but could very well be some artifact that depicts the Antichrist as God, set up on the altar.

Importantly, there are numerous elements of the prior two iterations of the pattern which may or not be present in the end-time iteration. For example, much attention is given by prophecy teachers to the actions of the “King of the North” and “King of the South” in their predictions about the end-times Antichrist. They may be correct, but it is also possible that those elements were unique to the first iteration, as indeed they precisely describe the people and events of Antiochus’ time as detailed in the apocryphal books of 1 and 2 Maccabees. Might these elements be repeated identically in the third iteration? Perhaps. Must they be? Not in my opinion.

Now to the Passover pattern on the theme of resurrection, which also has three distinct historical iterations and four common elements: a father, a first-born son, the sacrifice of a sheep, and an object on which the sacrifice was given effect.

Genesis 22:1-13 is the first iteration: the near-sacrifice of Isaac by Abraham. Abraham was the father ready to sacrifice his first-born son on God’s command, but God provided a substitute: a sheep. The sheep, instead of Isaac, had its blood shed upon an altar. “By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac on the altar…reason[ing] that God could raise the dead, and in a sense, he did receive Isaac back from death” (Hebrews 11:17-19).

Exodus 12:1-13 is the second iteration. All the firstborn males of Egypt were to be killed by God as punishment for Pharaoh’s slaughter of the Hebrew firstborn during the infancy of Moses. Only those households displaying the blood of a sacrificial lamb on the lintels and doorposts of their homes were spared. The father figure is Pharaoh, and his firstborn son was the first to suffer God’s wrath. The sheep is the Passover lamb. The object on which the sacrifice is given effect is the doorframe of the house.

The Gospels describe the third iteration: the story of the Christ’s crucifixion which occurred literally, on Passover: “For Christ our Passover also has been sacrificed” (1 Corinthians 5:7). The Passover pattern was completed in the sacrifice of Jesus. The Father is God. The son is Christ. The lamb is Christ. The object on which His shed blood was given effect was the cross.

So we can see that God uses thematic patterns in the Bible to describe actual events of history, and that the iterations of these patterns, though they share common thematic elements, are each unique.

Recognizing that Biblical history sometimes repeats in non-identical but thematically related patterns is a major game-changer for prophecy study for those capable of separating Biblical doctrine from denominational dogma.

###

Re-electing President Trump is not a political choice but an act of self-defense for every American who loves the Holy Bible and the US Constitution. We can’t trust the media, the pollsters, Big Tech, or even the Republican Party establishment! After thirty years of the Bush/Clinton/Obama/Romney tag-team they’re all corrupt and determined to overthrow both Trump and the rule of law to usher in Global Corporation-Partnered Socialism (the China Model of Marxism these American elites created).

No, we must reelect Trump OURSELVES – so overwhelmingly that no-amount of cheating by the Marxists and Deep State can hide the landslide that we cause! Shock and Awe, Baby! So many individual torches that it looks like a forest fire.

1. This means taking pro-active individual initiative: EVERY CONSTITUTIONALIST AN INDEPENDENT SELF-DIRECTED ARMY OF ONE. Don’t wait for anyone to lead you! Lead yourself. Lead others.
2. Go Low-Tech! Sure, use social media, but always assume its all being manipulated to suppress you and deceive you into thinking you’re making a difference. Put your real efforts into old school grassroots:
3. Use person to person persuasion. Start asking the people around you how they’re going to vote, and explain why you’re pro-Trump. If they’re pro-Trump make sure they’re registered to vote! Keep a list and do your own “get out the vote” effort in November. If they’re anti-Trump (and seem teachable) find out why and have resources to answer their objections. But don’t waste time with zealots!
4. Go door to door canvassing (teams of two or more for safety and always have video cameras ready as a deterrent or as evidence). Dropping literature is easiest, but if you’ve got the nerve, knock on doors. Pick a territory and own it! Precinct maps are easy to get from the elections division of every town and city.
5. Stand-outs! This is very, very important to counter media propaganda and fake polling that make people think everybody is anti-Trump. And it’s very easy to do. Go to busy street corners at morning and evening rush hours and wave Trump signs and American flags. Have extra signs for volunteers who want to join you. DON’T WAIT TILL ELECTION DAY – DO IT NOW.
6. Ballot-Harvesting (the honest and ethical version). Two can play that game. Make sure every shut-in or locked-down pro-Trump person in your circle of influence gets their mail-in ballot into the mail.
7. Election Sermons. They once were almost universal in America before elections. Time to revive them. Do the online research for yourself. Then reach out to the pastors and persuade them to revive this tradition.
8. Sabotage the enemy by never letting their lies go unanswered in any public setting. Be bold for the truth and rescue those being led into false perspectives by the deceivers. This is where on-line activism is most helpful – but, again, always assume Big Tech is working non-stop to neutralize whatever you’re doing there in ways you can’t see. Commit most of your efforts to the real world God made, not the virtual one owned by the enemies of truth and right.
9. At minimum, outdo your counterpart on the left. There’s somebody on the other side of this battlefield with your same skill set and resources. Make sure you do more for our side than they are doing for theirs. If you’re free, self-sufficient and mobile go to a “swing state” and do all these things there.
10. Share these ideas on talk radio, social media and other venues to compound your impact.

On November 3rd the world is going to change dramatically and there won’t be any chance for a do-over if we’ve failed to defend what’s left our heritage.

Think about what’s going to happen if the hard left now burning down American cities and cheering it on from the highest seats of media and academia take control of the White House and the Senate. Think about how you’re going to explain that to your children and grandchildren when they ask you why you didn’t try to stop it. Think about what the “Future YOU” would then decide you would have been willing to do back in August, September and October if only you’d realized how bad it was really going to be.

Now think about how good you’ll feel on November 4th if you’ve EARNED the right to say, “I helped to save my country from disaster!” Please act on THAT hope with all urgency.

A righteous man has regard for the life of his animal, But even the compassion of the wicked is cruel.

I’m ready to start building a congregation for First Century Bible Church and I do not recognize the authority of secular government to dictate any aspect of our doctrine or practice. As a Christian attorney and pastor I know and follow the law above the law, and claim the right of church sovereignty implicit in the original meaning of the separation of church and state, which is by no means a one way street controlled by the state.

Government does not recognize the tax-exemption of the church out of a sense of benevolent indulgence but because it has no power to tax a separate and equal sovereign.

In this sense, the church has greater autonomy relative to the federal and state governments than the state governments have relative to the federal government. The “supremacy clause” of Article 6 of the US Constitution subjects the states to federal law where the two conflict on a matter within federal jurisdiction.

In contrast, the First Amendment defines church sovereignty thusly: “Congress [the only legitimate legislative body] shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” That is an absolute prohibition on government interference with the church which pre-dates the Marbury v Madison power grab of the Supreme Court, under which subsequent judicial activism purported to regulate the church.

While other churches and congregations might have acquiesced to the court’s illegitimate authority, I am not bound by their decisions, having newly established my own church totally independent of them. I have not registered First Century Bible Church with the government and have no intention to do so.

As an Ambassador of the Church of Jesus Christ I do not recognize the authority of the Supreme Court — an arm of the state — to legislate from the bench on church/state matters. It retains authority to regulate the state in church/state matters, but not the church.

Clearly, the church has a Biblical duty to cooperate in church/state matters, and even more, to actively steward the secular society! But not as a inferior entity to the state. In the “coadjuvancy” of church and state envisioned by the founders, meaning the cooperation of separate sovereigns, the legal relationship of the two is the jurisprudential equivalent to an international treaty. More specifically, since it involves close interaction within the same geographic territory, the relationship is akin to that which exists between Native American tribes and the federal government, but the rights of the church are stronger than those of Indian tribes, because they come from God, not from established human customs about territorial possessions.

I have founded First Century Bible Church upon this premise, invoking the theological authority established by the Apostle Paul in his epistles and earthly ministry, and the political/legal authority recognized (not granted) by the First Amendment, which pre-existed the American colonies, as admitted by the Declaration of Independence. My claims are further bolstered by the first principle of the Magna Carta of 1215 (the foundation of modern human rights jurisprudence), to wit: “The English church shall be free.”

Today, following the prompting of the Holy Spirit, I am issuing an invitation to Bible-believing Christians everywhere to join First Century Bible Church by self-declaration of intention and agreement with what I consider the “essentials of the faith” as I currently understand and have articulated them here.

And I am today beginning the active work to establish both a local congregation for in-person fellowship, and a distant congregation around the world for Internet and or multi-media fellowship via the Internet and other means of connecting.

I’m better known today for my writings and teaching on anti-Marxist constitutionalism and on Biblical prophecy, but for thirty years my ministry was single-issue: opposing the LGBT political agenda around the world. One of the first things I observed from my front line culture war vantage-point was that the LGBT movement has a very parasitical nature – attaching itself like a leech to other constituencies of the progressive coalition to exploit whatever political advantage it can for itself, without regard for the damage this causes to the host body.

The first host was the Jews, as evidenced by the first symbol chosen by the “gays” to identify themselves: the inverted pink triangle. This was a blatant and outrageous attempt to exploit the public sympathy Jews hold by having suffered the Holocaust, symbolized by the yellow star.

The 5,000 to10,000 homosexuals estimated by “gay” historians to have been interned in the network of roughly 10,000 Nazi work camps (not the 6 death camps) — most for violating the same anti-sodomy laws in effect throughout the world in that era — wore pink triangles as part of the Nazi system for classifying inmates by criminal category. Based on that tenuous connection to Nazi-era Jews (who were almost universally opposed to sodomy as a gross violation of the Torah), the LGBTs attempted to fabricate a “Gay Holocaust” by which they could hijack Jewish political power for themselves under the banner of “The Pink Triangle.” That was the title of Richard Plant’s pioneering book on that theme (the first offering of an orchestrated political marketing campaign that swept American popular culture in the late 1980s and early 90s).

It was no mere coincidence that “The Pink Triangle” was published in the same year as the US Supreme Court ruling in Bowers v Hardwick (1986), which recognized the right of states to regulate harmful sexual conduct in the public interest, but specifically homosexual sodomy. Justice Byron White (a JFK appointee) literally mocked the “gay” argument that the (then admitted) lifestyle choice of sodomy should be constitutionally protected, writing for the majority: “to claim that a right to engage in such conduct is ‘deeply rooted in this Nation’s history and tradition’ or ‘implicit in the concept of ordered liberty’ is, at best, facetious.”

The Bowers ruling (later overturned in Lawrence v Texas, 2003, by the chief engineer of “Gay Cultural Supremacy” in America, Justice Anthony Kennedy) marked the end of an LGBT political strategy launched in the 1940s. Now abandoning their admission that homosexuality was (and is) a lifestyle choice, they pivoted to the so-called “born that way” argument originally popularized by German homosexual occultist Karl Ulrichs in the mid-1800s, who claimed that male homosexuals were really female souls trapped in male bodies, thus “born that way” with supposedly no control over their sexual proclivities or conduct.

After Bowers, the entire American LGBT movement began marching in a new direction, insisting homosexuality is innate and unchangeable (and thus recovery from same-sex attraction disorder is impossible), and demanding recognition as a helpless victim class whose homosexuality was the equivalent of being Jewish: ergo the pink triangle.

But in 1995, Orthodox Jewish Holocaust researcher, Kevin E. Abrams and I, wrote The Pink Swastika: Homosexuality in the Nazi Party, which successfully debunked the “Gay Holocaust” hoax and (due to an outcry from Orthodox Rabbis in response to the book), the “gays” were forced to abandon the pink triangle (with a few rare exceptions).

Having lost its first host, the LGBT political parasite attached itself to the Black Civil Rights movement, which it has possessed and exploited ever since. Dropping the pink triangle like a snake sheds its skin, it hijacked the rainbow as its new symbol, which it stole from Jesse Jackson’s Rainbow Coalition.

From that point forward it drove the American civil rights agenda for its own purposes, always bundling LGBT political goals within a “coalition” agenda, and using primarily Black front-persons to lead the efforts while using their own extraordinary power to manipulate the political process and the media from the shadows. This was best exemplified in the “Human Rights Commission” strategy in which the Dems established city and state HRCs to “promote diversity” and “oppose hate crimes” through implementation and strategic enforcement of “anti-discrimination” laws. These laws were always sold as a defensive “shield” for “minorities” but in practice used as a pro-active “sword” to set up and punish LGBT opponents (think “bake shops” and “printing companies”).

The LGBT movement insisted that all anti-discrimination policies must include “sexual orientation” (an invention of “Queer Theorists” to cloak the “born that way” lie in pseudo-scientific jargon). By this method, augmented by a great many “hate hoaxes,” laws characterizing opposition to homosexuality as “homophobia” (an LGBT-invented slur) spread from just a few cities to become nationwide public policy, entrenched in state and federal law, protected by multiple layers of (judicially activist) Supreme Court precedent.

The LGBT’s still control the Black host body as evidenced by the Black Lesbian couple running Black Lives Matter who aggressively push the LGBT agenda under the BLM banner. Again, it was not accidental that the first faction to steal the media spotlight once BLM took to the national stage was the “Black Trans Lives Matter” sub-cult.

The LGBT hijacking of Black power is all the more egregious a moral crime in that the Black community as a whole (though not the leaders, who have mostly been bought off) has and still does strongly oppose the LGBT agenda – a fact the Marxist media hides from the public.

Somehow the rest of the leftist coalition never recognizes the LGBT threat until it’s too late, the most recent example being the hijacking of the Feminist contingent by “transgendered women,” which has all but destroyed womens’ sports. And even when they discover they’re being exploited, they never seem to reconsider the presuppositions of liberalism that led them into the trap.

In the case of the Black community, however, there is a ready solution at hand, and that is the aggressive reclamation of the leadership of their movement by the Bible-believing Black pastors. I urge you to forward this essay to them.

There are seasons in human affairs when mankind can see much more than just the tip of the iceberg of Satanic control in this world. Evil prefers to spread in darkness, but when God’s people stand firmly against the Satanic agenda despite increasing punishment, they compel the adversary to send ever greater numbers of his forces out of the shadows onto the battlefield. In those rare moments, the full extent to which the leaders and systems of this world are corrupted gets exposed to those with spiritual discernment.

It is a dark and chilling sight when the demonic realm attacks in waves of escalating fury and power – like a comic-book villain transforming into a massive and malevolent behemoth, part real and part illusion — seemingly beyond the power of the righteous to defeat.

That is exactly what is happening today in the Marxist revolution against Trump: a continually escalating spiritual war of aggression is being waged on the political and cultural battlefields of the physical world – all because Donald Trump and his Bible-believing Christian base firmly resist the Marxist global agenda.

There have been previous examples, including the elites’ campaign to destroy Robert Bork to prevent his confirmation to the Supreme Court, but the closest parallel to today’s anti-Trump coup occurred when the Christian para-church network Oregon Citizens Alliance took on the LGBT agenda at the height of the Reagan Revolution. OCA’s ultimate defeat (through establishment GOP treachery and that of GOP-allied churches) is the reason why Oregon’s defacto capital Portland is now the epicenter of Marxist revolution in America. I know, because I was on the front lines of that battle, which launched my thirty year career as a Christian social activist and missionary to the global pro-family movement.

Ironically, I was an unwitting Marxism-influenced teenager when I migrated from Massachusetts to Portland in 1977 because of its liberal drug laws. I spent almost ten years of my sixteen year bondage to drug and alcohol addiction in that city, hanging out with the radical leftists, including the very types of people rioting today, on the very same streets.

But in 1986 I was delivered and healed on my knees in prayer at a secular rehab clinic. Months later my former drug dealer, who had independently converted to Christ, took me to a Bible-believing church for the first time where a truly godly pastor opened my eyes and heart to Truth. I switched sides in the culture war and, after some inner spiritual preparation (but no practical training or worldly credentials), the Lord miraculously made me the OCA’s State Communications Director.

Through many local and statewide ballot measure campaigns, I was in the hottest fire-fights on the leading edge of culture war. The Nazi swastikas repeatedly painted on the Portland megachurch I attended (solely because I worshiped there) were just a minor irritant compared to the campaign of severe punishment all of us at OCA endured: hate mail, bomb threats, death threats too numerous to count, vandalism, public harassment, continuous malicious character assassination (by ALL of Oregon’s corporate media), four separate major lawsuits over a five-year period seeking over $11 million (against OCA and me personally), numerous serious false flag hate crimes blamed on us, including a series of 21 cross-burnings on the front lawn of a Black, supposedly wheelchair-bound lesbian who was finally caught by two rogue cops in defiance of the Portland Police Chief – a prominent OCA critic who later became Mayor.

When I say our OCA experience prefigured today’s anti-Trump campaign, I’m not exaggerating. I personally saw black-clad Oregon Antifa terrorists marching with “Kill the Police” signs more than twenty years ago. I experienced the betrayal of the Romneyesque Republican Party Chairman Craig Berkman doing an anti-OCA joint television commercial with his Democrat counterpart, and then the Republican-controlled legislature “preempting the field” on sexual orientation policy to instantly invalidate 26 hard-fought city and county ballot measures we passed with margins up to 80% – all while Portland-area GOP-allied “conservative” churches and a turf-conscious rival “Christian” PAC attacked OCA as “divisive.” I experienced the 11th hour betrayal of the Portland Catholic Archbishop William Leveda who succumbed to pressure and urged a No vote on our “No Special Rights Act” before transferring to San Francisco. (I believe it was “Christian” compromise to appease the evil-doers that ultimately defeated us.)

While OCA’s battlefield was the LGBT agenda, and it is no accident that the co-founders of Black Lives Matter are Marxist lesbians, today’s battle transcends that issue. However, what OCA accomplished in our season of firestorms was to expose the whole Satanic army to public scrutiny: from the rotten RINOs, to the corporate giants, to the non-profit foundations to the fake church leaders, to the media, to the universities. We were so persistent and unyielding in our stand for truth that the demonic realm had to completely emerge from the shadows to fight us. We exposed the whole Satanic iceberg in Oregon – just as Trump is now doing nationally.

Sadly, there wasn’t a constitutionalist hero in Oregon to melt that cancerous lump then, and thus the demonic hard left, greatly emboldened by victory despite being exposed, gained a “mandate to escalate,” explaining why Portland is now the national poster-child for Antifa anarchy. But America today has the earthy and bare-knuckle fighting but constitution-loving Donald Trump. He’s not a perfect man, but neither were any of the “Judges” raised by God in times of crisis to lead the Israelite Republic. If, despite everything being thrown at us, we can get Trump reelected, America’s story might possibly have a happy ending. We’ll at least have a fighting chance.

The secret to victory in battles with Satanic principalities and powers is simple but not easy: “Take up the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you will be able to stand your ground, and having done everything, to stand” (Ephesians 6:10-18). Brethren, don’t let the Adversary dishearten or stampede you or Portland will be America’s future: STAND!!

The Seven Principles of Biblical Warfare For Purging the Cancer of Marxism from America: A Teaching on Deuteronomy 20.

As a culture war missionary and attorney, I believe the Bible contains the highest law on this earth and the divine principles underlying the Mosaic law remain constant and binding upon all mankind, even in cases where the “letter” of individual statutes may rightly be deemed situational to an ancient context or fulfilled by Christ. In my view, it is the spirit, not the letter, of the law that is perfect per Psalm 19:7 and 2 Corinthians 3:6, and as essential in the fabric of Creation as the fundamentals of physics.

That is an important caveat in an article offering Deuteronomy 20 as the model for defeating the attempted Marxist coup we’re suffering. These Marxists are skilled and experienced liars – professional false witnesses – who routinely misrepresent the words and deeds of American constitutionalists for political ends, and they hold a virtual monopoly on our public information systems. It has never been more important for patriots to be circumspect in our rhetoric, not primarily because of THEM, because Marxists will simply fabricate lies to attribute to us no matter what we say.

No, we must be especially scrupulous in what we say and do now because IF, by the reestablishment of the rule of the true law, we are able to purge the cancer of Marxism from our Judeo-Christian civilization, we will retroactively be held to those same higher standards for our speech and actions in the prosecution of that war. So, yes, I am saying Marxism is a cancer that must be removed because it is now clear that our prior policy of peaceful coexistence on equal terms is no longer possible. But I am also saying we must not employ corrupt Marxist strategies, tactics and reasoning in the removal process.

We must not be like the Socialist Weimar government of the 1920s and empower an army of National Socialist street thugs to fight the Soviet Communist street thugs in the blood-splattered cities of Bavaria. Neither can we create a South American-style dictatorial right-wing crack-down of skull-busting storm troopers repeatedly chasing left-wing guerillas back into the hills.

What we need is an organized nationwide army of God-Fearing Constitution-Loving Patriots who follow God’s law of warfare.

John Adams warned that “We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion….Our Constitution is designed only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for any other.” Today’s Marxist revolutionaries have proved Adams correct by shattering the bulwarks of the constitution from within – using liberty as a springboard to anarchy and tolerance as a pathway to tyranny. Their malignancy has overwhelmed the immune system of the body politic, leaving the extreme measure of emergency surgery as our final option.

In other words, what we need is an American Reset to constitutional originalism in which all the seats of power and influence in this nation are filled by constitutionalists. These constitutionalists will not kill those whom they supplant, as the Marxists will certainly kill some (perhaps many) patriots if their coup succeeds (mark my words). Constitutionalists will simply take the Marxists’ power away and update America’s sedition and treason laws to prevent their resurgence.

So HOW can this be done? By using the seven principles of war from Deuteronomy 20:

1. Men skilled in warfare must lead the army, but the clergy among the leadership must provide spiritual encouragement and remind everyone that the enemy’s numbers and strength mean nothing because God will fight for them if they trust and serve Him (verses 1-4).
2. Only brave warriors who can focus on the task at hand without worldly distractions can serve in this army. Everyone else should stay out of the way (verses 5-8).
3. Only after the army is formed do the officers appoint campaign commanders suited to the particular battles (verse 9).
4. Every stronghold must be given the chance to surrender, and if they do the people will not be punished beyond being completely stripped of power and required from that point forward to scrupulously submit to the rule of law under direct supervision (verses 10-11).
5. Strongholds which refuse to surrender must be besieged and defeated, and their leaders punished appropriately. This is where the principle of the law supercedes the letter in the modern context, since this army must not – with the exception of actual and aggravated Treason as determined by a court of law – employ capital punishment. Further, all of the resources of that stronghold must be re-purposed to serve the rule of law. (verses 12-15).
6. Rebellious strongholds which fall in the special category of institutions or industries intended to teach, promote and uphold objective truth for the benefit of all of society (e.g. academia, law, media) must receive greater attention by the conquering army regarding all combatants, not just the leaders, and their punishment must include restrictions that strip them of every means to advance their ideology and agenda from that point forward (verses 16-18).
7. In the prosecution of this war, any tangible resources that can be restored to beneficial use must be preserved (and used in subsequent battles), but those which cannot bear fruit for the restored society should be destroyed (verses 19-20).

By God’s grace we have a Commander in Chief who seems to truly want the restoration of America, and who has clergy in his inner circle who could introduce him to these seven Biblical principles of war. I pray they will see this article and pass its insights along.

But in my view, the army which must be formed is not exclusively an arm of the Trump administration, but a coalition of forces like the Continental Militia of the Founders’ era. And prominent in those ranks should be the modern clergy of the Black Robed Regiment and patriotic men and women from every walk of life. If you agree, sign my Declaration of Restoration to add your voice to this rallying cry. And please pass this message on to others.

Deuteronomy 20: The Laws of Warfare

1“When you go out to battle against your enemies and see horses and chariots and people more numerous than you, do not be afraid of them; for the LORD your God, who brought you up from the land of Egypt, is with you. 2“When you are approaching the battle, the priest shall come near and speak to the people. 3“He shall say to them, ‘Hear, O Israel, you are approaching the battle against your enemies today. Do not be fainthearted. Do not be afraid, or panic, or tremble before them, 4for the LORD your God is the one who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.’ 5“The officers also shall speak to the people, saying, ‘Who is the man that has built a new house and has not dedicated it? Let him depart and return to his house, otherwise he might die in the battle and another man would dedicate it. 6‘Who is the man that has planted a vineyard and has not begun to use its fruit? Let him depart and return to his house, otherwise he might die in the battle and another man would begin to use its fruit. 7‘And who is the man that is engaged to a woman and has not married her? Let him depart and return to his house, otherwise he might die in the battle and another man would marry her.’ 8“Then the officers shall speak further to the people and say, ‘Who is the man that is afraid and fainthearted? Let him depart and return to his house, so that he might not make his brothers’ hearts melt like his heart.’ 9“When the officers have finished speaking to the people, they shall appoint commanders of armies at the head of the people.

      10“When you approach a city to fight against it, you shall offer it terms of peace. 11“If it agrees to make peace with you and opens to you, then all the people who are found in it shall become your forced labor and shall serve you. 12“However, if it does not make peace with you, but makes war against you, then you shall besiege it. 13“When the LORD your God gives it into your hand, you shall strike all the men in it with the edge of the sword. 14“Only the women and the children and the animals and all that is in the city, all its spoil, you shall take as booty for yourself; and you shall use the spoil of your enemies which the LORD your God has given you. 15“Thus you shall do to all the cities that are very far from you, which are not of the cities of these nations nearby. 16“Only in the cities of these peoples that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance, you shall not leave alive anything that breathes. 17“But you shall utterly destroy them, the Hittite and the Amorite, the Canaanite and the Perizzite, the Hivite and the Jebusite, as the LORD your God has commanded you, 18so that they may not teach you to do according to all their detestable things which they have done for their gods, so that you would sin against the LORD your God.

      19“When you besiege a city a long time, to make war against it in order to capture it, you shall not destroy its trees by swinging an axe against them; for you may eat from them, and you shall not cut them down. For is the tree of the field a man, that it should be besieged by you? 20“Only the trees which you know are not fruit trees you shall destroy and cut down, that you may construct siegeworks against the city that is making war with you until it falls.
