We Hear The Rod – And Him That Appoints It!
Field Report, Woodbridge and La Plata, MD; Quantico, VA, November 15, 2010
There were five of us. We stood at three pickets (two schools and a soldier’s funeral) against hundreds – perhaps thousands – and we subdued the kingdom. We declared that place where the sole of our feet treaded upon, the possession of the Kingdom of Heaven. That is to say, we bound the inhabitants to the unbreakable standards of scripture. The inhabitants of that land will stand without excuse before the throne of God “in the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.” (Romans 2:16).
When the media wrote of the events, they spent their ink and bytes counting the numbers as indications of right and wrong – much like the inhabitants of the antediluvian world and of Sodom. Like those who sought to take the life of Noah (the door of the ark had to be shut up to the raging mob) and of Lot (the angels shut up the door and blinded the sodomites to prevent them from entering) the mobs of Maryland would use violence to silence our blessed testimony. We’re in good company.
We were a manically delighted troupe as we travelled to Quantico – specifically the U.S. Marine base there – to teach. The pickets had been so filled with delightful singing and the evidence of God’s mercies to us for giving us the testimony and wholly protecting us in our ambassadorial offices – that we were really floating to Quantico. How experientially resonant the words of the beloved Psalmist about the righteous man: “His delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.” We meditated – or chattered – all along the way.
What Quantico demonstrates is the predisposition that this bloody nation has toward violence. This nation is so terrified, that it literally cannot make bullets fast enough to keep all the murderous military and law enforcement trained. Quantico, in addition to being a Marine base, is also where the Federal Bureau of Investigation trains their new recruits. What only the fortunate few know, however, is that the FBI also has a graduate level course where law enforcement executives get special training at Quantico.
We deal with these law enforcement executives – from sea to shining sea – and we have some things to testify about them. We know up close and personal how quickly they will breach their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution – when it comes to worshipping the dead or protecting the feelings of perverts in their respective jurisdictions. So, we were delighted at the prospect of teaching them (albeit only a handful) from both domestic and international agencies.
While instructing, one of the executives – a smarmy fellow who fancies himself a hero no doubt – spat out one of Satan’s favorite schticks: Don’t we condone violence, if we thank God for the death of soldiers or others? What a clever little deceit the father of lies burps out through his earth-dwelling spirits. His hope is to, by this falsehood, make any humble and peaceful servant of God “an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of nought.” (Isaiah 29:21) But we’re not ignorant of Satan’s devices, so we have a thing to answer Mr. Nazi-Britches about his theory of vicarious violence.
It is a doctrine that runs through scripture, for which God’s servants are eternally grateful. God has established a providence for every son and daughter of Adam, and for every part of that providence, the creation has a duty to exult and praise His name and His sovereignty.
First, God made you Mr. Prissy-Pants-Lying-Lips, and therefore God is exclusively entitled to dispose of you how God wants to dispose of you. If you don’t like it – tap into a keg of shut the hell up, and read Romans 9:20: “Nay, but o man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?” The answer is “you’re nobody!” You’re a mere creature who has neither the right nor the power to question your Creator.
Second, your arrogant and impudent sins enrage God at you – think in terms of a Creator seething with rage such that smoke comes out of his nostrils, and you’ll begin to get the picture. “Because thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, but hast fretted me in all these things; behold, therefore I also will recompense thy way upon thine head, saith the Lord GOD”. (Ezekiel 16:43)
Third, God mercifully sent His servants out onto your mean, “bad-assed American” streets to tell you the words that you locked out of every other institution in your miserable nation. Yeah, I said it! Your teachers, preachers, leaders, entertainers, politicos, pundits, mouthpieces, and jabberwockies all refuse to plainly tell you that you must obey God’s commandments or he’ll kick your sorry butts all over the grassy knoll! So, we must tell you with our plain words on our signs and in our mouths and in our songs, and on our videos.
Fourth, you idiots – like the idiots of old – mocked us, despised God’s words, and misused us (see 2 Chronicles 36:16) – so there’s nothing promised to you now but a remedy-less wrath of God. That wrath is promised to be poured out without mixture. That wrath is promised to bring grieving and sorrow of heart like nothing heretofore experienced in the race of humankind. That wrath includes killing your heroes and your zeros; your champions and your geeks, your young and your old, your babes and your sucklings – a wholesale ass-whoopin’ of unprecedented proportion.
Fifth, we are required by God not only to thank him for such a blessed confirmation of our words – but to actually mock your calamity with Him. Check out Psalm 52:5-6, “God shall likewise destroy thee for ever, he shall take thee away, and pluck thee out of thy dwelling place, and root thee out of the land of the living. Selah. ¶ The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him:” We told your class of law enforcement executives about the universal rule of interpretation of laws – that the word “shall” means “mandatory”, as in we “shall see” and we “shall fear”, and we “shall laugh” at your destruction.
So, Mr. Lying-Lips-Badge-Wearer, don’t bring your subterfuge to this conflict. We know your satanic heart that pretends that we would actually take up arms against this pathetic generation of God-damned rebels. God has opened up his armory to slay you rebels in ways that you have yet even to dream of. It is of no concern to us what weapon – or servant – or device – or circumstance your Creator uses to make an end or a torment of you for your willful disobedience. We know how to hear the rod, and Him that appointed the rod (see Micah 6:9), and we praise His holy name. So keep your murderous mitts off of us and do the job you swore an oath to do. We ask for no more and no less – and God will require it at your hand, so fail not!
