And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie. That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. - 2 Thessalonians 2: 11-12
Charlier Kirk’s Plan to Save America
In the 1940's scores of young men from our great country, some as young as 16, accepted their responsibility to defend the violent threats to freedom against maniacal forces attacking our allies in other lands. My dad was one of them. A graduate in 1941 from Cornell University, Frank K. Finneran turned down offers to play football for the N.Y. Giants and baseball for the Baltimore Orioles. Instead, he enlisted in the Marines, wound up with about 70,000 other soldiers on Iwo Jima in one of the bloodiest battles in wartime history. If you've read the book Flags of our Fathers, you know about the horrific resistance and heinous deaths and tortures some of these young men suffered at the hands of seemingly demonized Japanese solders. Nearly half our troops were injured or never came back. Of the 16-plus million men from America who fought in WWII, over 2 million were under the age of 20. Most were under 30. It's hard to wrap you head around the sheer numbers of men who risked everything in life for a greater cause. But that was the call. Like my father, they left behind on our shores all the hopes of the American Dream, including fiancees, young wives and children, future careers and the nice home with a white picket fence. If my dad had been a statistic at Iwo Jima, only my eldest brother would have been born. The rest of the five Finneran siblings, including myself, would never have existed. Having six children in a family at that time was no exception. That's because WWII was followed by a baby boom. It was part of the national consciousness to replenish the war tragedies of over a million men who were killed or severely wounded. It was normal to be in a family with multiple children. In the 60's I remember only one friend who was an only child. It just wasn't the goal of a man and wife at that time to just have one or two children. My friends and I would joke regarding the comical situation (that would make a good tv reality show) for our high school basketball teammate, Glen Kolb, being the only boy in his family, sandwiched between five older and five younger sisters. We joked about it but never thought it odd. Women were obviously a key factor in this increase in our population. Statistics show that over 70 percent of women married by the age of 24 during this period even up to the 1960's. Today that percentage is under 10 percent. With couples waiting longer to get married and, thus, having less kids, the results are devastating on the traditional Christian family. Our founding fathers averaged 5-plus children per family while Christian families in the U.S. today are barely reproducing. However, from a biblical standpoint, there is nothing in the scriptures that mandates or even anticipates Christian women forgoing their most formidable child bearing years and putting a family on hold in pursuit of higher education and professional careers. Rather, the Bible does implore "that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully. For some are already turned aside after Satan." (1 Timothy 5: 14-15.) The apostle Paul goes as far to imply that the women's sanctification comes not from taking the roles of men but, "Nevertheless she will be saved in childbearing if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control." (1 Tim. 2:15). This biblical perspective for the Christian woman, though considered the norm and supported by the Church for nearly 2000 years, has been nearly abandoned in favor of prevailing feminist views that erupted in our culture during the 60's. The command to "be fruitful and multiply" has given way to the pressure of social responsibility to avoid overcrowding the earth and the lack of prestige today's modern world allows a woman who births a large family. Education and career are packaged as standard goals for each woman that precedes family, while one or two children are later added to that equation for a complete life. As if children are merely an experience that every woman should get to share, but just don't over do it, that would be foolish. "All things are lawful, but not all things are profitable," (1 Cor. 10: 23), reminds us that, though it may not be a sin to do something not explicitly forbidden in the Bible, it may end up causing negative consequences. Erica Kirk, in honor of her husband, said "His top priority was to revive the American family." If you listen to enough of what Charlie Kirk often said, you'll hear this repeated advice: "Get married, have children," I believe Kirk was thinking primarily of those in the Christian faith: all of us who cherish the greatness of this country and Christ our Saviour. Kirk continually argued that the great Christian values of this country need to be appreciated, recognized and restored before it is too late. I believe Charlie Kirk understood that the most significant way to protect the Christian values previously built into our culture is by repopulation and the passing of those values to our children. That's because we face a massive threat to the Christian society equal or even greater than our previous generation. Zero population growth (meaning the population numbers stay the same or go down for the next generation) in a culture is no match for the estimated 40 million immigrants that flooded our country during the Biden administration who are reproducing at a 5 to 1 rate. This problem is exacerbated in the European Union where Christianity is on the decline and the Islam faith is increasing in astronomical numbers. And most of that is due to birth rates. Christians in all the EU are well under 2 per household while the Muslim immigrants families are reproducing nearly 8 per family. Countries projected to be Muslim dominant by 2050 are France, Germany, United Kingdom, Spain, and Australia. And the rest are not far behind. With at least 5 million Muslims now in the U.S., if birth rates stay as they are, the U.S. will be muslim dominant within 3 generations. We will soon have a country where the majority worship other gods. If a young teenage girl today should say, "My goal in life is to marry a great guy and have a big family," she's far more likely to be looked on with pity rather than esteem. But that is the only way we can fix the problem we've created. Just like our fathers during WWII unselfishly sacrificed their personal desires to meet the dire threats to our country, so now Christian women all across America need to put aside the false cultural emphasis to succeed academically and professionally as the main priority in life for the sake of raising a strong Christian family with as many children as God would bless. If Mom at home, raising children, is not restored in the church, all other efforts to save this country will be futile.
“Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. - Matthew 24: 34-35
The Second Coming:
Did Christ mean what He said?
Are you often dissatisfied when present day Bible scholars twist the literal meaning of passages in the Scriptures revealing Christ would return in the lifetime of his disciples? There are absolutely no scriptures in the New Testament that support Christ returning thousands of years in the future. The expectation of His soon return in judgment is clearly portrayed in all the epistles and is culminated with the Apostle John's prediction of the destruction of the Jerusalem temple and the Roman Empire In Revelation, which all came to pass beginning circa AD 70. What saith the Scriptures? To do so, let's do a brief look at some of the verses concerning Christ's second coming. Which of the following verses do you think confirm the expectation of Christ's return within the lifetime of those living in that generation? “I am,” said Jesus. “And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.” - Mark 14: 62 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.- Romans 13: 11-12 So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. - 1 Corinthians 1:7-8 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus: Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself. Christ: -Philippians 3: 20-21 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. -Revelation 3: 6-11 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. - Philippians 4: 5 And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come. - 1 Thessalonians 1: 10 To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints. -1 Thessalonians 3: 13 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words. - 1 Thessalonians 4: 15-18 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Thessalonians 5: 23 And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done. Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book. - Revelation 22: 6-7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. - James 5: 7-8 But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer. -1 Peter 4: 7 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. - 1 John 2: 18 And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming. - John 2: 28 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand. - Revelation 1: 3 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. - Revelation 6: 7 Seek the Scriptures The ancient Bereans were considered more noble minded than the Thessalonians because “they received the word [of the gospel] with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.” (Acts 17: 11.) I encourage you to do the same, search the New Testament, and scriptures like the ones above, in order to see for yourself if the word's of Christ and the epistles regarding His second coming are true, literal sayings and not dismiss them as allegorical, poetical or taken out of context when read at face value. Satan's Little Season Could it be that Christ did indeed return in their lifetime as promised, passed judgment on the world and ushered in His Millennial Reign with the risen saints? (Rev. 20: 6.) And The marginal commentary in the 1560 Geneva Bible seems to corroborate this concerning Mark 13:30-31: "The worde signifieth the space of a 100 yeres, albeit this came to passe before fiftie yeres." And again regarding Luke 21: 31-32: "For all these things came within 50 yeres after." And Is it possible that the myriads of magnificent cathedrals, castles, palaces and structures that still stand in nearly all major cities around the world are physical remnants of that Glorious Kingdom? Could it also be that the Millennial Reign has ended and Satan has been released out of the bottomless pit for a “little season” to again deceive the nations? (Rev. 20:3) Could this have happened sometime in and around or just before the start of the 1800s when the christianized world began to fall away into heresy, occultism, and grasp evolution and worship of the divine feminism. Isn't it obvious that the deception is only increasing and the world is now on a crash course in new found rebellion including transgenderism, false sciences, DNA altering medicine, genetically modified foods, AI emersion and trans-humanism. The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass. - Revelation 1:1 WAKE UP! And the church, instead of maintaining the old Christian standard, now barely noticeable in our present hedonistic culture, instead, is embracing the materialism, entertainment, obsession with education. careers and sports, loose sexuality, and raising families where the husband capitulates his headship and the wife abandons the home to compete with her husband in the market place. Wake up, Church. We have succumbed to Satan's deception. The order of the world is upside down and we must come out of the dragon's false systems to be effective in spreading the gospel of forgiveness in Christ Jesus. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. -Ephesians 5: 11
