Jesus said "What shall it profit a man to gain the whole
world, and lose his own soul?"
I'm wondering, what shall it profit a man to defend his country
from all manner of foreign threats, only to lose it to subversion
within? Britain once honored God, now it doesn't. Look at how their
greatness has declined. The U.S. once honored God, it was blessed in
a great way. Then it stopped honoring God, and America 1.0 ended in
the early 1960's. America 2.0 began the process of self destruction;
now it is beyond the point of return. Currently The
Russian Federation does a better job of honoring God than the other
two. I believe that because it does, it will continue to defeat its opponents. Just the other day, it was reported that a pool of
oil as big as the Gulf of Mexico was found in RF territory. I
sincerely hope that the entire country is prospered, from the Pacific
to Ukraine, from the Arctic to the Black Sea.
What I'm contemplating now are two threats: The first is when the people of the RF, in their successful resistance to threats from the West, start
thinking that their strategic and tactical decisions are sufficient for survival and prosperity. At
that point, they might make compromises with the blatantly ungodly, thinking
that the progressive version of tolerance will work. That a lasting
stasis can be had. This overlooks the conflict between God and Satan.
Satan wants no less than the expulsion of Christianity, and is
continually working toward that end. There is no stasis with him. Here in the U.S. millions of voters in California had their will overturned by a single homo judge. A Christian baker, photographer, printer, and others are being forced out of business for not promoting or conforming to the homo filth. The A.G. of the entire country has declined to enforce laws banning homo marriage. So much for tolerance, worse is coming. Part of the ongoing change is that those who were once opposed are finding a way to de facto compromise. I predict that the new trend for Republicans will be to claim they regard the issue as boring. That way, they can say they still consider it immoral, while not making a public conflict. As I said, expulsion is the goal, for those that will not compromise. I'm not sure that homosexual behavior is the peak of immorality; but it is somehow the litmus test as to whether a person will abide by God's word.
There is talk of a fifth column in the RF, I suppose every country has one. The second threat I'm contemplating is from what might be called the sixth column. People who are very loyal to the Kremlin, specifically President Putin. These people have keen and brilliant political analysis of current events; but the analysis always blames central bankers, ideologies, arms manufacturers, and so on. This could influence others to see these things as cause, and not the effect that they are. The idea that our decisions can save us, we don't need God; is the beginning of self destruction.
To get an idea of what that looks like, cast your gaze upon the U.S. We once honored God. He restrained our problems, and gave us victories. That ended in the early 1960's. Now we have a ruined economy, a national debt that cannot be repaid, continual natural disasters, children killing each other, a huge prison system, school children (lots of them) on prescription drugs to modify behavior, a high percentage of children in fatherless homes, and the list goes on. God removed His restraint.
