Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship

Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship

This blog will be written from an orthodox Christian point of view. There may be some topic that is out of bounds, but at present I don't know what it will be. Politics is a part of life. Theology and philosophy are disciplines that we all participate in even if we don't think so. The Bible has a lot to say about economics. How about self defense? Is war ethical? Think of all the things that someone tells you we should not touch and let's give it a try. Everything that is a part of life should be an expression of worship.

Keep it courteous and be kind to those less blessed than you, but by all means don't worry about agreeing. We learn more when we get backed into a corner.

Opus 2024-308: Replacements

It is unsettling when you see history repeating itself.  That is double true when the history you are looking at involves tyranny and despotism.  

Turn you clock back to ancient Israel.  Look at the time when the Northern Kingdom was defeated and the first deportation occurred.

(2Ki 17:6 KJV)  In the ninth year of Hoshea the king of Assyria took Samaria, and carried Israel away into Assyria, and placed them in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes.
Samaria was the capital of the northern kingdom, Israel.  Assyria had a pattern for breaking and subduing conquered people.  This is the first part where they haul large parts of the population to locations far away.

The second step in the plan is what brings to mind our modern situation.
(2Ki 17:24 KJV)  And the king of Assyria brought men from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from Ava, and from Hamath, and from Sepharvaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel: and they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in the cities thereof.
Assyria imported large numbers of foreigners and settled them in the conquered territory.  The object was to water down the people that remained and destroy their culture so they would not be a problem.

Sound familiar?  The parallels to what the Biden/Harris administration is doing is frightening.  However you want to connect the dots the pattern always comes out “Destroy the Republic”.

It is possible that if enough people will vote in November they may not be able to steal the election again.  I also wish we could find out where these people live and stand in front of their houses wearing our MAGA hats and just stare at their front door.

Elections matter when there is an honest count.  Pray hard.  Stand up and speak.  Since our integrity does not allow us to vote often at least vote early.
