The pages of the Bible are a testament to the downfall of those who plot wicked plans, providing a guidepost for our own battles: "Do the right thing, and risk the consequences." Because, in the end, righteousness prevails. When we were children, bullies would throw sticks and stones and call us names. Today some of those bullies grew up into 'Deep Staters' who brand our truth as conspiracy theories, and their lies as truth. As Isaiah warned, "Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!" -- Isaiah 5:20.

We hope and pray that good prevails, but we also know that in these Last Days things will get very bad. Then the end will come, and the wicked will be burned as stubble and Christ will reign.
Can we endure until then?

there is no "righteousness" within the deep state, but the only "righteousness" at all is that which is reserved for those having standing within "The Deep State". leaving the rest of us to be simply a Winston Smith character, laboring away in "the Records Department of the Ministry of Truth" having no discernable value in life and like in every communist society our lives will be planned, lives and ended by the time we are 5 years old

Thank you, Gerald McGlothlin, for writing, & thank you, OP, for posting. Amen.
Yes, we look around us and the scope & depth of evil looks almost insurmountable. But, with God’s help & hard work, we have overcome & restored the seemingly insurmountable physical destruction of earthquakes, fires, tornadoes , hurricanes, etc.
That same spirit of hard work & determination along with sincere repentance and turning to God in love, hope, prayer, obedience and steadfast faith will provide the refuge, power and strength to overcome and defeat this seemingly insurmountable evil. The history of our beloved America is also a testament to the successes of trusting in God, and our present condition is a testament to the devastation of turning away from Him. If we stand with God, He will stand with us. “If God be for us, who can be against us?” Our work of repentance must be done for our restoration to be successful. “Then God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God relented from the disaster that He had said He would bring upon them, and He did not do it.” (Jonah 3:5-9)
Our freedom depends on our religion and virtue.
On October 20, 1779, the Continental Congress issued a proclamation to the entire nation:
Whereas it becomes us humbly to approach the throne of Almighty God, with gratitude and praise for the wonders which his goodness has wrought in conducting our forefathers to this western world; for his protection to them and to their posterity amid difficulties and dangers; for raising us, their children, from deep distress to be numbered among the nations of the earth; …and above all, that he hath diffused the glorious light of the gospel, whereby, through the merits of our gracious Redeemer, we may become the heirs of his eternal glory: therefore, Resolved, That it be recommended to the several states, to appoint Thursday, the 9th of December next, to be a day of public and solemn thanksgiving to Almighty God for his mercies, and of prayer for the continuance of his favor and protection to these United States; …that he would grant to his church the plentiful effusions of divine grace, and pour out his holy spirit on all ministers of the gospel; that he would bless and prosper the means of education, and spread the light of Christian knowledge through the remotest corners of the earth; …that he would in mercy look down upon us, pardon our sins and receive us into his favor, and finally, that he would establish the independence of these United States upon the basis of religion and virtue, and support and protect them in the enjoyment of peace, liberty and safety as long as the sun and moon shall endure, until time shall be no more. Done in Congress, the 20th day of October, one thousand seven hundred and seventy-nine, and in the 4th year of the independence of the United States of America. - Samuel Huntington, President.
