PRÉCIS ON YAHWEH’S IMPRECATION OF THE PROUD VS. THE CHURCH’S ACCOMMODATION OF THE ARROGANT: THINGS TO COME

SCRIPTURE. “Let the proud be put to shame, for they dealt perversely with me without a cause; but I will meditate on Your precepts.” – PSALM 119:78, AMPC

KEY TERM: “PROUD.” ‘Zed’ [זֵד]: “Insolent, arrogant, presumptuous, [‘imperious,’ assuming authority they do not possess in order to dominate others]; used to describe the ungodly, or pretenders to religion]; reserved for severe judgment; a technical term for godless, rebellious men; ‘haughty ones, scorners;’ the act or quality of taking much upon one’s self; that species of pride which consists in exorbitant claims of rank, dignity, estimation or power, or which exalts the worth or importance of the person to an undue degree; proud contempt of others; conceitedness; presumption.”

QUOTATION I. “At times there’s something so precise and mathematically chilling about Nationalism. Build a dam to take away water away from 40 million people. Build a dam to pretend to bring water to 40 million people. Who are these gods that govern us? Is there no limit to their powers?” ― ARUNDHATI ROY, The Cost of Living, 1999; edited

QUOTATION II. “When Fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the Flag and carrying a Cross.” ― JAMES WATERMAN WISE, Swastika, The Nazi Terror, 1933; edited

COMMENTARY. ‘Let the proud be ashamed’ — Confound all the proud contemners of Thy Law; let them be brought either to repentance or to shame; for they have dealt perversely with me, either by their calumnies, putting false and perverse constructions on my words and actions, or endeavouring to overthrow and destroy me, by turning me out of the way of my duty.

‘But I will meditate in thy precepts’ — All their wicked attempts shall never drive me from the study, and love, and practice of thy precepts. ‘Let those that fear Thee, &c.’ — Let all pious men, who have a due regard for Thy testimonies, be convinced of this, and turn their hearts and affections to me, which have been alienated from me, either by the artifices and calumnies of my adversaries, or by my sore and long distresses, causing them to think that I had deceived them with false pretences, or that God, for my sins, had utterly forsaken me. 

‘And those that have known Thy testimonies’ — That is, that have loved and practised them. The sense of this verse is much the same with that of the seventy-fourth; that good men, seeing what God had done for him, should turn themselves to Him, take encouragement from Him, and recognise the righteousness of God in protecting His friends.” – JOSEPH BENSON, Notes on the Holy Bible, 5 vols., 1811-1818; edited

DK. I am taking this verse toward direct application of the so-called “Christian Patriot” forces that stormed the American Capitol on JANUARY 6, 2021. Those same Seditionists from the Maga Christian Nationalism camp intend to reelect their Supreme Leader DONALD TRUMP later this year to implement what shall constitute the very dismantling of the Balance of Powers of the US Constitution in order let their Tyrant reign over us, unfettered by archaic political restraints fashioned by The Founders.

ON PROJECT 2025. “In the Mandate‘s foreword, the Heritage Foundation president KEVIN ROBERTS writes: ‘The long march of Cultural Marxism through our institutions has come to pass. The Federal Government is a Behemoth, weaponized against American citizens and conservative values, with freedom and liberty under siege as never before’ … While Project 2025 cannot explicitly promote him, [Donald] Trump’s campaign rhetoric has reflected its broad themes. He stated: ‘If I happen to be president and I see somebody who’s doing well and beating me very badly, I say go down and indict them.’ He added that he would fire ‘radical Marxist prosecutors that are destroying America.’ He has said he would ‘totally obliterate the Deep State’ and appoint a real Special Prosecutor to go after the most corrupt president in the history of the United States of America, JOE BIDEN, and the entire Biden crime family …

Project 2025 seems to be full of a whole array of ideas that are designed to let Donald Trump function as a Dictator, by completely eviscerating many of the restraints built into our system. He really wants to destroy any notion of a rule of law in this country … The reports about Donald Trump’s Project 2025 suggest that he is now preparing to do a bunch of things totally contrary to the basic values we have always lived by. If Trump were to be elected and implement some of the ideas he is apparently considering, ‘no one in this country would be safe!’”  – EDITORS, Wikipedia, Feb. 27, 2024; edited

CODA. At this point of American History beloved, I truly wonder if anyone is listening to all these Red Flag Warnings God is displaying openly now for all to see. It would seem not. The Church has decided to shield itself from all this ideological violation of the Biblical Canon in order to:

‘Succeed by Accommodation.’

FRANCIS SCHAEFFER argued that the “Great Evangelical Disaster” was “the failure of the Evangelical world to stand for truth as truth.” Schaeffer’s words were more on target than we could have imagined: “There is only one word for this—namely ‘Accommodation:’ The Evangelical Church has ‘accommodated to the World Spirit of the Age’” (1984).

And so ‘Tyranny writ large’ is coming to our shores. Indeed, beloved, I believe it shall arrive by the installment of Donald John Trump as not only Dictator, but as Antichrist, the Man of Sin, the Lawless One prophesied by Scripture. And neither shall the American Enterprise ever again live to see another day when he is finished. Selah.
