Larry Tomczak: 3 Pillars of ‘Progressivism’ That Will Destroy America
Today we find ourselves under the control of rulers seeking to enslave us to secularism, socialism and globalist tyranny. Check out what spiritual leaders in Nehemiah’s time prayed in another dark time:
“Here we are, slaves today. The land that you gave to our fathers was for eating its fruit and its goodness. Behold we have become abundant produce belongs to the kings whom you have set over us due to our sins. They have control” (Neh.9:36-37a).
During the Babylonian captivity, Daniel was summoned by the pagan king to help him understand mysterious handwriting that appeared on the wall. Daniel told the ruler how his kingdom was being put to an end because he had been “weighed in the balances and are found wanting” (Dan. 5:27b).
Has it crossed your mind recently that Trump’s apparent defeat might be God’s “ways and means committee” at work? Translation: God has ways to show us that He means business about preparing His church for real end-time impact. Instead of us getting comfortable with a second Trump administration, we’re pressed against the wall as cultural Christianity is likewise “found wanting.”
Is God allowing a set of circumstances that are painful but essential to ultimately bring forth the glorious church described in Scripture?: “that He might present to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle, or any such thing, but that it should be holy and without blemish” (Eph.5:27)?
Could it be that He loves His bride so dearly that He’ll let us go through an extremely challenging time so we recapture what was spoken of the first-century church when unbelievers, with tears of rage in their eyes, declared, “These men who have turned the world upside down have come here also … They are all acting contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus” (Acts 17:6b-7).
With 61 million babies aborted and Biden brazenly allocating $8.2 billion of our tax money to encourage other nations to follow suit, is God saying, “Enough is enough”?
What We’re Up Against Globally
In Daniel’s day, he and his friends were exiled to Babylon, which throughout Scripture symbolizes man’s attempt to unify around systems, whether political, educational or religious, apart from God. It results in defeat and disarray. The root of Babylon is “babel”—which means confusion!
In Genesis 11, the people united with one language and ambition to build a city and tower to heaven. Their pride grieved God, so He thwarted their foolish endeavor, scattered them and confused their language.
Today we have world leaders coming together with globalist ambitions for a “one world government,” even as Daniel’s and the apostle John’s apocalyptic visions prophesied (Dan. 7:16-25, Rev. 13:1). They’re calling it “The Great Reset.”
For centuries people scoffed at Psalm 2, prophesying that “The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord and against His anointed, saying, ‘Let us tear off their bonds and cast away their ropes from us'” (Ps. 2:2b-3). World leaders uniting together in an anti-God strategy, deliberately discarding His standards, seemed an impossibility. Not anymore!
“He who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord ridicules them. … Now then, you kings, be wise; be admonished, you judges of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear; tremble with trepidation! Kiss the son, lest He become angry, and you perish in the way, for His wrath kindles in a flash” (Ps. 2:2,10-12a).
God then comforts us with, “Blessed are all who seek refuge in Him” (Ps. 2:12b).
What We’re up Against Nationally
Biden is not an avowed socialist, but he is an aging, weak leader manipulated to advance the radical “progressive” agenda. Today the leftist-leaning White House, Senate and House, in collaboration with corporate media, social media, Hollywood, academia, athletes and liberal clergy, control the levers of power and are pushing their anti-God agenda aggressively (40 executive orders in weeks!) .
All “non-progressives,” traditionalists, conservatives and Christians must be discredited and driven out while Millennials and children are indoctrinated. After all, as Hitler said, “He who owns the youth, owns the future.”
Their strategy is to not merely ridicule opposing views but restrict them from being communicated on social media, campuses and in the press. Cancel culture is demanding conformity by silencing anyone daring to differ.
