Matthew 13:24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?
28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
You cannot enjoy all the blessings of God under communism. While it is possible to walk in the gifts of the Spirit, you still live in a country. To enjoy the blessings of God you need to be in a country that values the rights given by God, not the government. It is possible to experience the gifts of the Spirit but struggle with other blessings due to not voting for the correct government when you could have. Is the will of the Father for communism to reign in the United States? If not, then vote.
I heard it said recently that 30 million Christians did not vote in the 2020 election. It is known at this point that in order to win in a system where voter fraud occurs, as happens in the United States, that everyone needs to vote and overwhelm the system where they are pumping in fraud votes … illegals, the dead, the dog, phantom illegal ballots, etc.. It is not enough that Trump is popular. You might think that because enough people show up for his rallies, they’ll probably vote for him, so why does my vote matter? It matters because in a season of fraud, there have to be far more votes than usual. Plus, this is not just about a President. He needs Senators, Representatives, and judges that are all not communist. Local leaders should not be communists. Vote for people to stand and work with him. If you don’t like him, he’s better than the alternative.
In any case, if Christians stay home and end up with a communist government, they may end up saying to the Lord the words above …. “Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?”
Walking in the gifts of the spirit is not a substitute for voting for righteous government. In heaven, that may be enough, but here on earth, where we still are, we have to dance the two step … pray and vote.
The gifts and callings of God are without repentance. But the prayer life of a person is not a substitute for righteous government.
It is a scourge that eschatology has been preached in a way that people feel justified in withdrawing from civic responsibilities simply because they have knowledge of the Second Coming of Christ. Jesus is coming. That is a fact.
However, until Jesus is here, the mandate was given in Genesis to “have dominion” and that has never ceased. Psalm 91 gives dominion over serpents, scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy … those demonic forces behind corrupt government. In addition to all that, after the cross, after the redemptive work Jesus did through his life, death, burial and resurrection, authority in the name of Jesus was given to those who are believers in the Lord Jesus Christ and have confessed him as Lord. Yet prayer is not enough. We must walk the talk and walk to the voting booth and vote.
The Revolutionary War in the United States was fought so that, among other things, those who wanted to do so would have freedom of religion and speech and expand the kingdom of God. Eschatology was not the preaching in the vogue during the Revolutionary War. Something out of the book of Joshua might be a more likely sermon. In any case, the current popular version of preaching, which I question as I did my own math, has had the effect of causing some Christians to withdraw from civic responsibilities. By their fruits ye shall know them. Has this been good fruit?
In the end, I don’t really care how you do the math. I do care if you vote. Your vote affects the world that I will live in. I’m blessed, but I don’t want to live under communism. Believe what you want, but don’t let that keep you from voting for righteousness and against communism. It is not true that one person’s actions have no effect on another person.
I Corinthians 12:26 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.
27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
Matthew 12:38 Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.
39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:
40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
41 The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.
42 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
43 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.
44 Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.
45 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.
It is not important to me to convert the minds of people on eschatology other than convince them they need to vote. Believe eschatology as you wish, but vote.
The nation needs your vote for righteousness. Vote for the most righteous candidates you can find.
Mark 12:14 And when they were come, they say unto him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?
15 Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, that I may see it.
16 And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar’s.
17 And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s. And they marvelled at him.
Romans 13:7 Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.
