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.
