Because people do not read the Bible, and leaders package themselves as “anointed” and “charismatic,” there is zero spiritual cross-examination of their messages and the spirit behind them. Their voices, easily disguised as the True Shepherd’s, lead the sheep astray with a false gospel, one that leads to destruction. This happens in both liberal and conservative congregations. Both ideologies desire to influence Washington from the pulpit, and at the end of the day, neither side is truly interested in righteousness, they are interested in shaping society.

 

As we examine the examples of false prophets twisting Scripture to justify political takeovers, let us remember: Jesus did not send the Twelve or the Seventy with a political agenda. He did not instruct them to campaign for Him or proclaim that Rome had fallen. They were sent to preach the gospel. From the moment Jesus left the wilderness, His message was about the Kingdom of God, not political change. The Jews expected the Messiah to be a political leader who would overthrow the occupiers and reestablish a sovereign Jewish state. To their surprise, Jesus never challenged political structures through earthly power. Instead, He focused on defeating the kingdom of darkness through the transformation of the human heart.

 

The Apostles continued this example. Paul was not sent to overthrow or infiltrate governments. In fact, he told Christian converts:

 

“If you were a slave when you were called, do not let it trouble you—although if you can gain your freedom, do so. For the one who was a slave when called to faith in the Lord is the Lord’s freed person” (1 Corinthians 7:21-22).

 

Does this not apply to us? With these clear examples recorded, how can anyone justify normalizing unbiblical liberal social justice issues or violent insurrections with people holding Bibles and carrying crosses as the will of God?

 

Still, many Christians are tempted to believe that political victories equal spiritual victories. Some even claim that if the right leader is elected, the nation will be restored. But nowhere in Scripture does Jesus teach that salvation comes through a president, prime minister, king, or emperor. The Kingdom of God is not built through elections, political campaigns, or government policies, it is built through faith, repentance, and the power of the Holy Spirit.

 

Beneath all of this lies hypocrisy.

 

The U.S. has maintained global dominance by exporting its vision of democracy, but on its own terms. Nations were allowed to govern themselves only if they remained economically and politically subordinate to U.S. interests. Innovation was encouraged if it did not threaten American monopolies. Resources were provided, if the recipient played by Washington’s rules. Sanctions were imposed if they did not.

 

Now, in a dramatic turn of events, the same tactics the U.S. has used to control foreign nations are being used against its own people. Political, economic, and ideological control once reserved for suppressing foreign threats are now being deployed internally against anyone who challenges the current system.

 

The empire has turned its tactics inward.

 

This is not merely a political shift, it is a spiritual manifestation of empire thinking. It is a stronghold that demands total allegiance just like Babylon. The remnant must see through the deception and recognize the principality at work, a principality that has influenced this nation since its birth. Jesus said in Matthew 10:37:

 

“Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me.”

Believers must remember that our identity in Christ transcends everything:

 

Our race.

Our flag.

Our financial status.

Even our families.

 

We are citizens of a kingdom that is not of this world. Our allegiance is to our Lord.

The question is not whether America will be restored, the question is whether the Church will wake up and align itself with the true Kingdom of God rather than the kingdoms of men.
