We are living in a truly unprecedented period of history, teetering on the edge of destruction, yet clinging to hope in a rescue, and far more importantly, clutching tightly to our ultimate faith in Almighty God. As we observe the increasingly-strange events of each passing day and try to make sense of them, many thousands—perhaps millions—of people are turning to God through Jesus Christ for the first time, while many more are renewing or deepening their relationships with Him. As I have been watching this all play out over the past several months (I’m relatively new here!) and doing my own soul searching, I have observed what seem to me to be many parallels or illustrations of Biblical truth exemplified through various aspects of the Q movement. Some friends have encouraged me to get my thoughts on paper and share them, so this is my attempt to do that. As we enter Holy Week, remembering and celebrating the Passion of our Lord on our behalf, I pray this will be a blessing to you as we all seek to understand these extraordinary “Biblical times” a little better.

I am not a theologian, but I have been a believer and studied Scripture for many years and have read through the Bible several times. I realize there are MANY different perspectives on every possible topic and many sincere Christians have reached a variety of conclusions in response to various Biblical passages. It is not my intention to address every possible view or to start debates. These are just some “musings” I’ve had as I’ve gone about my day. Above all, I have NO intention of elevating the Q movement or any other earthly thing above its proper place, or to disrespect holy things in any way by making any inappropriate connections between the two. However, I believe our loving Father Who created us provides us with a variety of earthly illustrations and tangible expressions of the ultimate realities He is overseeing on our behalf—and it can sometimes also be difficult to clearly ascertain where the illustrations end and the ultimate realities begin. God seems to be using the things we can see and feel and experience through the Q movement and current events in order to point us toward deeper truths about Himself and what He is doing. Watching these things play out in our daily experience right now seems to me to make the deeper Biblical applications less abstract. As you read this, please seek the Lord for wisdom about whether there is truth here or just, again, human musings. There is so much more that could be said about all these topics—this is just barely scratching the surface and by no means intended to be the final word.

1. Singular and plural. The doctrine of the Trinity—God existing simultaneously as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, all of them equally “God”, distinctly 3 and yet only one—has been the subject of much study and discussion over many, many years. I’m certainly not going to do a deep dive on that here, nor am I going to do a deep dive into how many members of the Q team have actually posted on the board. However, it has seemed to me that there has been one main communicator (“Q singular”—the PERSON we call “Q”) as well as the Q team (“Q plural”, the team of less than 10, mostly military), which strikes me as an interesting parallel.
2. Read the source. We have all seen people spout off their own theories about “Qanon”, dismissing his/their existence or legitimacy (not to mention labeling Q followers as crazy or worse), and in EVERY case, the people doing this have read very few, if any, of the actual drops. They certainly haven’t read enough of them to understand how they fit together in context or how they connect with historical and current events. They make a judgment about something they’ve never honestly looked into. The same is true of many people’s “assessment” of God. They make their decision based on what someone else has said or just their own opinions rather than actually studying Scripture in context. To know the truth, read the source.
3. False “prophets”. We know there are many “injected anons” who have been intentionally inserted into the movement in order to cause division and confusion among those who are truly seeking the truth. There are others who have no ill intent but are just misguided and end up leading others off the road. The Bible tells us that the same is true in the Christian life (Matthew 13:24-30 is one example). In both cases, the imposters are planted by our enemy in order to deceive us and do us harm, and we are told to use discernment and wisdom (and prayer) to stay focused.
4. “Doomers” and “faithful”. Both within the Q movement and in the spiritual life there are those who begin to lose hope when things don’t seem to be happening the way they expected or want them to, while there are others who continue to be full of joy and hope in spite of everything. In both cases, the difference generally lies in our focus: are we looking more closely at the problems we see around us or on the truths we’ve been shown? When Jesus and His disciples were caught in a storm at sea (during which Jesus had fallen asleep), the disciples panicked, woke Him, and asked whether He even cared that they were perishing. He told the wind and waves to be quiet (which they immediately did) and then asked His disciples why they were afraid (Mark 4:35-41). Yes, the storm was real, but HE was there with them—they needed to put more trust in Him than in the danger of the storm. Now, Jesus is the Son of God and CANNOT fail. The reality is that Q and the team—while truly amazing and with unbelievable tools at their disposal—are not God, so failure is technically an option. Nevertheless, we have been assured repeatedly that Patriots are in control, and more importantly, GOD WINS. We choose to recognize what we believe is more powerful—the turmoil around us or the hope we have been taught.
5. Deep mutual love and respect. President Trump, Q, and their team are so dearly loved by so many because of the love and respect they have shown to us, and as we follow them together, we (usually) show the same to one another. Those who have attended rallies have experienced this in an even deeper way than those who only communicate online, but it’s still there, and it’s powerful. The love that Jesus and His disciples shared was like this, and Jesus commanded us to love one another as He has loved us (John 13:34, John 15:12). Jesus and the apostles focused strongly on our need to be united and that “a house divided against itself cannot stand” (Matthew 12:25, Luke 11:17). Q has taught us the same concept many, many times—[they] want us divided. United, we are strong. Trump gave up so much in order to be president—more than we can really fathom. He’s sacrificed his reputation, lots of money, his well-earned lifestyle, soooo much sleep, and much, much more for our sakes. Jesus gave infinitely more than that, literally leaving heaven to be born among literal sheep in a stable in Bethlehem in order to save “sheeple” and ultimately to be humiliated, tortured, and executed in the most cruel manner the Romans could invent. Trump’s love for us is unmistakable (despite his gruffness at times) in every speech or statement, and Q’s love for us radiates throughout his posts. The love of God for us jumps off of every page of Scripture and nowhere more evidently than in Christ giving His very life to rescue us from the consequences of our own sin and to provide us with hope and a future.
6. Occasional exasperation! As much as Trump and Q love us, and as much as they have praised the American people (and digital soldiers/autists specifically), there have to be times that Trump has been annoyed with us over these past 5 years. Even those who support him (let alone those who don’t—yet) are so easily swayed by fake news and the various winds that blow. While Q has very often praised the autists for their digs and compilations/graphics, etc, there have been a few times that he has clearly been a little irritated by our slowness to understand what he’s trying to communicate: “Perhaps we overestimated your abilities.” Similarly, while Jesus’ love for His people is overwhelmingly the theme of the story, there were also a number of occasions in which He called out various ones among His followers for foolish things they did or said, or their slowness to understand and believe. Matthew 17:17, John 20:27, and Mark 8:11-12 are a few examples.
7. Undeterred in the face of ridicule and persecution. By now probably all of us have been laughed at by someone for believing in and following Q, and certainly the movement as a whole is being relentlessly attacked every day. In many cases, it has gone beyond ridicule to everything from social media bans, political consequences (such as MTG being removed from her committees), and more. We all know the deep state would like to do much worse things to all of us if they have the opportunity. Yet, when you know the truth, you know it. Once you are solidly convinced (through the thousands of proofs, etc) that Q is who he says and doing what he claims, then it really doesn’t matter what threats they use—you KNOW the truth. There is even, sometimes, a sense of joy and honor in this: “I was enough of a threat to be kicked off Twitter.” “POTUS has taken so much for us, I can go through some things for the cause of freedom myself.” This illustrates on a small scale what so many of God’s people have experienced for thousands of years—and still go through today in many places—being willing to suffer and even die for what they KNEW was the truth and even considering that an honor worth celebrating. No matter how bad the attacks may become in the future before all things are finally made right, let us hold fast to what we know is true despite any cost.
8. Good and faithful servants, and soldiers prepared for battle. Scripture speaks extensively about the rewards and heavenly recognition that God has in store for those who have loved and served Him throughout their lives. This is not the path to our salvation, or rescue from the consequences of our sins, which is entirely paid for by Christ’s death on the cross for us. Rather, AFTER putting our faith in Christ and His sacrifice, we are to put that faith in action (which the power of the Holy Spirit within us enables us to improve at over time), and those right actions are eventually rewarded. This is the idea of being told, “Well done, good and faithful servant,” upon our entrance into heaven one day (which is pictured in a parable told in Matthew 25:14-30). As a small reflection of this, many of us have wondered about what recognition will be given to the efforts of the Digital Soldiers when this whole story is finally told and thoroughly explained. While none of us are doing this work in order to receive recognition (and we shouldn’t serve God for self-serving reasons, either—our very lives come from Him, and we owe Him everything), those “shout outs” from the important players sure warm our hearts and help keep us going, and the thought of having our efforts and sacrifices more fully appreciated one day is very satisfying. Connectedly, Ephesians 6:10-20 describes the full armor of God for Spiritual warriors, which Q has referred to several times for the Digital Soldiers to never be without.
9. Consistency of the message and our commission to share it. Q and Trump have discussed many, many topics and issues over the years, but the main themes have never, ever wavered: we will make America great again (in many specific areas) which will then spread throughout the world, we will end human trafficking, the best is yet to come, and we will never give up. There are others—these are just the highlights. Even now, when on the surface all seems lost, Trump continues to stand by these promises. Also, we have seen many other people contribute small pieces of the big picture through their messages to us, including Dan, Pompeo, Don Jr, Flynn, Grassley, and many others who seem to have been given little hints to pass along to us. The message has never changed. At a much deeper level, the message of Scripture is unified from beginning to end: God created a perfect world and put perfect humans in it, satan deceived humanity and has been messing with us ever since resulting in our doing his dirty work for him throughout history, God still loved us and planned an elaborate rescue that has taken thousands of years to play out, including the death and resurrection of His perfect Son on our behalf in order to pay the just penalty for our sins, and this will ultimately end in Him conquering satan once and for all before finally renewing and restoring all things to perfection, after which, those who have trusted in Him will live joyfully together with Him for eternity. Obviously, this is a very simplified overview (please read the Bible for yourself!), but the message is consistent from beginning to end. This is particularly remarkable considering Scripture was written across a span of over 4,000 years, in 3 languages (Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek), and by many different authors from extremely varied backgrounds, yet their message is incredibly unified—they all were shown different pieces of the puzzle, but when put together, it is clearly the same puzzle and was being orchestrated by a single Divine Author. In both cases (Biblically and within the Q mission), we have been commissioned to share the good news about what we’ve learned in order to “awaken” and rescue more people. In both cases, there is bad news that must be understood before the good news makes sense, and we must use discernment and wisdom in knowing how best to share our message. And sadly, in both cases, not everyone will listen or accept the truth of what we have to say.
10. Proofs/evidence. Neither following Q nor believing in God is a matter of blind faith without reason. Q understood how important it would be to prove his legitimacy, as he was claiming something pretty outlandish AND the role of digital soldiers in waking up the public was (and still is) absolutely essential to the success of the plan. For this reason, he provided thousands of proofs which quickly reached the point of being mathematically impossible to disprove. Many brilliant apologists and theologians have written extensively on the topics of the evidence for the existence of God and for the trustworthiness of Scripture, so you can search those out on your own for a deeper dive into those topics. However, the fact that we have a creation is clear proof that we have a Creator, and the fact that there is still so much goodness and beauty in the world in spite of how badly it has been damaged by satan and by our sin is evidence of the beautiful goodness in the heart of God toward us.
