(The following is the text of Gen Flynn's Tweet)
For the preservation of our republic and the perpetuation of our political institutions, we need to understand how far back the assault on American ideals and principles occurred. This assault goes all the way to our founding days.
To not fall to the evils of our time, we must stand on the shoulders of our founders.
Our forefathers placed great faith in us and gave us great responsibilities for all of posterity.
If we don’t consider this, we’re no better than other empires throughout history that succumbed to sinister forces (external & internal).
It was Abraham Lincoln, at the ripe age of 28 stated;
How should we expect the approach of danger to our republic? By what means shall we fortify against it?
Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant, to step the Ocean, and crush us at a blow? Never!
All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest; with a Buonaparte for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years.
At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher.
As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide (Lincoln Lyceum speech, 1838).
If America is to overcome this desire to kill ourselves, and usurp the lands upon which we have been granted only by the grace of God Himself, our main task then must consider the difficult road ahead. The posterity of our children, our families, our institutions, our very country, is at risk.
Therefore, we must return to our faith, we must show gratitude to our fathers and those who offered up their lives for ours, and finally we must demonstrate love for all of humanity with far greater focus here at home. Then and only then, can we faithfully and dutifully succeed at carrying out the most important task at hand, to save our republic from causing its own demise.
As Matthew describes, if we [America] are to be that light on a hill, a beacon of good on a mountain top for all to see, the strength of our faith, and our conviction and commitment to each other, cannot be hidden. We must then stand for all to see and we must uphold that light of liberty for now and all future generations.
God help us in the days, weeks and months ahead.
(The following are my thoughts and reflections on this message from Flynn)
Discussion*
One: Time Frame
Note Flynn's emphasis of the specific timeline: 'days, weeks, and months' ahead. Not 'years'.
Someone else less in tune with things and with a more politically generic view might ask for God's help in the months and years ahead, but Gen Flynn doesn't. Why?
To me it seems clear that he understands that what takes place between now and the election or January next year is what is crucial. If the plan was to wake up America, and rearrange the situation so that Trump could return with America fully awake and ready to actually drain the swamp (note: Americans - the People - have to do this, not a government and not a president UNLESS he has the full mandate of the People), then this period of time remaining between now and D-Day aka the Election Day and/or The Inauguration Day, then this is the most challenging time when the political satanists will do everything they can to upset the Plan.
This is the real period that American needs to overcome and survive.
Two: The Real Cause of the Problem is Internal
Flynn emphasizes:
a return to our faith. Does he mean doctrinal faith here? In my opinion, no. The issue is not doctrinal. The downfall of America, should it happen, would be because America has separated itself from God and the founding spirit that God used to raise America: passionate faith in God that drove the pilgrims to strive to find a land where they could practice their faith free from the religious persecution and establishments that ruled Europe. Those pilgrims put their very lives in the line to found the colony in America, driven by passion and love for God.
Everything that Marxism does is to attack the foundational relationship between man and God. It promotes satanic values: destruction of morality, the family and faith. Globalism does the same.
For America to survive and achieve true greatness, the people of America need to transcend doctrinal perspectives and rebuild a living relationship with God as a people. Religious freedom is critical to that, and people must be free to worship as they are led by their consciences, but the OBJECTIVE of that practice of faith is a living relationship with God.
Let's fast forward. After an American revival led by Trump, with a cleansing of the Establishment in ALL sectors affected by government, what will come next? American Restoration.
Perhaps after all the darkness and evil and slime of the Cabal and the Deep State is fully exposed, then will America be ready to truly reflect, repent and turn back to its original founding ethos: Love of God?
show gratitude to our fathers and those who offered up their lives for ours
Real appreciation for what has been given is the foundation of love of God (faith) and love of country (patriotism). Good people count their blessings and emphasize what they have received, evil people complain and demand more, claiming victimhood status.
we must demonstrate love for all of humanity with far greater focus here at home
In my view, this is an amazingly profound statement, and I would encourage frens to reflect deeply on it. As human beings emerging out of a fallen history and fallen lineages, we are faced with a massive conundrum. At some point in our past, our ancestors adopted a view and a perspective that was in conflict with God's view. (From a Christian perspective, this is why Christ has to come and teach us: to help us to understand God's view on things.)
The conundrum is this: Does God love my family any more than another family? Does God love me more than he loves any other person? God's viewpoint is that all his children are precious. Every family is loved, all peoples are loved, and all the world is loved by God equally.
The issue is whether I or someone else, my family or another family, or my country or another country, receives God's love and truth and resonates with it. God loves all, but our ability to receive and unite with that love, this depends on us.
So, from God's viewpoint, while he loves and treasures America, ultimately, God loves the whole world MORE than he loves America. John 3:16 For God so loved the world....
So, what should my attitude be in terms of loving humanity? Should I love my country MORE than I love humanity? The answer is no. Because that is not God's viewpoint and it isn't the nature of God's love. So then, what should I do?
The answer is this: God loves ALL families equally, but only I can love MY family as God's representative. I cannot love all families. God gave me my family for ME to love, with his heart. In doing so, I honor God's love and also naturally my love for ALL families will grow.
To be a True Patriot, one must truly love humanity BUT the representative of humanity that God gave to ME is MY country. Therefore, I should love my country as the representative of ALL humanity. Then my love will be deep and true and tied to God more profoundly.
And Flynn is emphasizing this here: "demonstrate love for all of humanity but with a greater focus here at home"
Anyone who has a clear mind can see that Donald Trump loves people, and NOT just Americans. But the emphasis has to be at HOME. First. Because neglect of HOME has been the objective of the Cabal and Deep State. if America is to love and lead the world, she must be healthy herself, and restore herself first. THEN, as a beacon on a hill, she can ASSIST other nations, and cooperate with other nations, towards prosperity for all.
Three: Quoting Lincoln is Timely: America is truly at the Crossroads
I think that by quoting Lincoln here, Flynn is not only raising the significant concept that collapse and failure of American can really only come from within, by American's abandoning America's founding ethos, but he is also highlighting just how critical the current time is.
I think it is reasonable to consider that The United States is now experiencing the Third and Final crisis threatening it's existence: the first crisis was the War of Revolution, and the question was whether the US would even come to exist or be stillborn. The second crisis was the Civil War, which threatened the failure of American. The third crisis is the 'second American Revolution'. It is the War against the Deep State (and Cabal). Either America will rise up and rise to new heights, or it will collapse, and with it, humanity will likewise face death and darkness.
Dear Anons, make no mistake. Your efforts may seem small and insignificant. You may very well be facing personal and family-level crisis in your own life. But the Great Awakening is no less a time of challenge than the Revolutionary War and the Civil War. And each of us is like a minute man, or like the wives who held their home and family together while the men shed blood to decide the fate of the country.
"Digital soldiers".... Hmmmm....
Someday, our grandchildren and great grandchildren and future generations will look back and ask mummy and daddy: what did grandpa do, what did gandma do when President Trump fought the Deep State?
We are writing history, with the efforts we make each and every day, and yes, the enemy will throw challenges in our way that cause us heartache and sufferings. But:
..... we must then stand for all to see and we must uphold that light of liberty for now and all future generations
Personally, I am deeply impressed with this message from Flynn. I feel like it is truly presidential. And, I'm led to think that following a Trump Presidency, America may actually be perfectly positioned to rise to it's true potential via a restoration and revival of the spirit of faith, love and freedom that inspired the original colonists and the original founding fathers.
If so, one might posit that the Trump Presidency is the one that oversees an (External) Great Awakening, but America might just be ready for a following presidency that oversees a true Internal Great Awakening.
All I can say is, may God bless America and the World.
One step at a time.
Sounds like a good introduction to the counterfeit kingdom of the Antichrist.
The false light kingdom set up by the Antichrist will appear to be a "good" thing to many. This deception is a significant aspect of its nature:
1. Promise of Peace and Security: The Antichrist will likely present himself as a peacemaker, offering solutions to global conflicts and promising stability (1 Thessalonians 5:3).
2. Economic Prosperity: The kingdom may bring about temporary economic prosperity, enticing people with material wealth and security (Revelation 13:16-17).
3. Charitable and Humanitarian Efforts: There might be initiatives that appear to support humanitarian causes, making the regime seem benevolent and caring.
4. Unity and Inclusivity: The Antichrist will promote a sense of global unity and inclusivity, appealing to the desire for harmony among diverse groups (Revelation 13:7-8).
5. Miraculous Signs: The display of signs and wonders will convince many that the Antichrist has divine approval or supernatural power (2 Thessalonians 2:9; Revelation 13:13-14).
The sheer malevolence exhibited by proponents of the so-called "Jew World Order" is so blatant that it hardly requires any discernment to recognize their evil. Thus, the New World Order (NWO) cannot be the great deception that Jesus spoke of in Matthew, which could potentially deceive even the elect.
Instead, the true deception will come from the power that rises to defeat the NWO. This force will be perceived as a beacon of goodness and righteousness. It will present itself as the savior of humanity, uniting people worldwide to rise against the apparent evils of the NWO. This is where discernment becomes crucial.
Many will be swayed by this seemingly benevolent power, mistaking it for the ultimate force of good. However, this entity will be the very deception prophesied, luring humanity into a false sense of salvation and unity.
The NWO itself is a spiritual false flag, a designed distraction to unite us all. We are all familiar with political false flags, but we often lose sight of the fact that Satan is setting up a worldwide spiritual false flag. This false flag is designed to lure the world into uniting under the umbrella of revenge, wanting to rid the world of the evil that has enslaved us.
As nations rally together, believing they are combating the ultimate evil, they will fulfill the prophecies in Zechariah 14. These prophecies speak of the nations rising against Jerusalem, not just as a city but as a representation of the perceived crimes against humanity and corruption. This global uprising will be seen as a just cause, but it will ultimately play into the larger, deceptive plan orchestrated by the Antichrist.
Basically, the NWO's overt evil will be obvious, but the real test of discernment will be identifying the false light that defeats it. This false light will unite humanity in a deceptive cause, fulfilling ancient prophecies and setting the stage for the ultimate end-times events.
That was very well written but I couldn't tell if you knew these things.
There is not just one Antichrist. John in 1 John writes that many have already come.
The end comes as a thief in the night. No one knows but the Father and it will not be discernable by humans in order to predict the day. So please don't look for certain things here or there, just live your life for God and His glory and you have no need to think about a beginning, middle or end.
I do fully agree that we should not be deceived by the riches of this life. Whether times are good or bad like Solomon says in Ecclesiastes, realize God permits one as well as the other. But let the peace focus your resolve to serve God until death.
Thank you for your thoughtful response. You’re absolutely right that John, in 1 John, mentions that many antichrists have already come (1 John 2:18). This underscores the presence of false teachers and deceivers throughout history. However, there is also strong textual evidence for a singular Antichrist figure in eschatological prophecy.
The Book of Revelation, particularly in chapters 13 and 19, describes a final, singular figure who embodies ultimate opposition to Christ. This Antichrist, often referred to as the Beast, sets up a false millennial kingdom, deceiving many with his apparent benevolence and miraculous signs (Revelation 13:1-10).
Additionally, the book of Daniel contains references that many scholars interpret as pointing to a singular Antichrist figure. For instance:
Regarding the timing of the end, you’re correct that Jesus said it would come like a thief in the night, and no one knows the day or hour except the Father (Matthew 24:36, 1 Thessalonians 5:2). This statement by Jesus is a reminder to live our lives faithfully, as you aptly point out, focused on God’s glory, rather than being preoccupied with trying to predict the exact timeline of end-times events.
However, Jesus also urged His followers to be watchful and discerning of the signs of the times (Matthew 24:42-44). Being aware of biblical prophecy and its potential fulfillment helps believers remain vigilant and steadfast in their faith, especially when faced with deception.
It’s crucial to live our lives for God’s glory and not be consumed by end-times speculation, it’s equally important to be informed and discerning. Understanding the broader biblical narrative about the Antichrist and the end times helps us navigate our faith with wisdom and vigilance.
I just read this and my beautiful wife just finished dinner so I'll respond later tonight but the first I would like to address is:
Matthew 24:42-44 and Matthew 16:2-3
In Matthew 24 Jesus said to his disciples to watch (be ready always)
In Matthew 16:2-3 Jesus is speaking to the Pharisees and Sadducees who are once again seeking after a sign. Them "Discerning the times." Wasn't for them to decode the end times by events for He already said no man will ever know. But it was to discern the current time in that the Messiah is here.
Also to note the Jews after seeing Lazarus raised from the dead plotted to kill him again. And then asked Jesus to come down from the cross and they would believe Him to be the son of God. They sought signs for the sake of them but loved their power, money, and prestige much more than the God they "served."
I was actually thinking about this the other day...God says, "I love you." And if man would just respond in kind none of this would ever have needed to happen. However, this is just a philosophical observation.
I'll go ahead quickly with my next point regarding the Antichrist which will be essentially focused on this. What will a singular Antichrist bring to the table that the many haven't already? Whether nation, man, or Satan, our war is spiritual and we are victorious through Christ the King already. What will they bring, war, famine, persecution, forced vaccination, child sex slavery, a pretender to be God? Look no further than Islam, Catholicism, and all the other false prophets and religions. There is nothing left to be done as it all already has and is and will continue unto the end. This is the theme of Ecclesiastes and Revelation together. All of this goes around and around and God will suffer it to save the few but in the end... Judgement.
Thank you for taking the time to engage so thoughtfully. I appreciate the points you raised. Here are some reflections in response to your observations:
First, regarding Matthew 24:42-44 and Matthew 16:2-3, you make a valid distinction between Jesus' instructions to His disciples to always be ready and His rebuke to the Pharisees and Sadducees for seeking signs. Indeed, Jesus emphasized the importance of recognizing the present reality of His messianic presence rather than focusing on decoding future events. This underscores the need for a genuine relationship with God rather than merely seeking signs for personal gain.
Your point about the Jews seeking signs, even after witnessing miracles like the resurrection of Lazarus, highlights the danger of hardened hearts and misplaced priorities. This serves as a cautionary tale about the human tendency to prioritize power, money, and prestige over a genuine relationship with God.
Regarding the Antichrist, your question about what a singular Antichrist could bring that many antichrists haven't already is thought-provoking. It's true that throughout history, various nations, individuals, and ideologies have embodied aspects of the spirit of Antichrist—bringing war, famine, persecution, and false religion. However, the biblical narrative suggests that a singular Antichrist will epitomize these characteristics in an unprecedented way, leading to a climactic confrontation between good and evil.
In the book of Daniel, we see detailed prophecies about this singular figure, often referred to as the "little horn" or "king" who will rise to power, desecrate the temple, and deceive many (Daniel 7:8, 8:23-25, 9:27, 11:36-45). Similarly, the book of Revelation describes a beast who will exercise authority over the whole earth, perform miraculous signs, and demand worship (Revelation 13). This figure represents the ultimate culmination of evil, directly opposing Christ and His followers in a way that is unprecedented in history.
While it's true that our ultimate victory is already secured through Christ (1 Corinthians 15:57), and that many antichrists have come and will continue to come (1 John 2:18), the singular Antichrist's role is significant in eschatology as the final and most powerful manifestation of opposition to God. This final confrontation, as detailed in Revelation, serves to fulfill the prophecies and bring about the ultimate judgment and establishment of God's kingdom.
Ecclesiastes and Revelation together remind us of the cyclical nature of human history and the persistent presence of evil. Yet, they also point us to the hope and assurance of God's ultimate plan for redemption and judgment. Being discerning and watchful, as Jesus instructed, helps us navigate these times with wisdom and faith, ensuring we remain steadfast in our devotion to God.
I hope these reflections address your points and provide a balanced perspective on the significance of the singular Antichrist in biblical prophecy. If you have more thoughts or questions, I'd be happy to continue the conversation. Enjoy your dinner with your wife!
