And when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal.
- II Kings 11:1
Last week I wrote about America and how our nation, conceived in liberty with a government of, by, and for the people, has devolved to the point where we now live under an occupation government with a son of Antichrist seated in the Oval Office.
Of course, the Regime press will never tell you this. Their job is to curry favor with the powers that shouldn’t be. In fact, about the only good reason I can think of for reading the legacy media is the same one I’m told the people of the Soviet Union followed Pravda: to know what official lies the government expected them to believe. If you know a narrative is a lie, it’s easier to dismiss it as the propaganda it is.
On Friday, The New York Times ran an absurd hit piece of an editorial titled “Donald Trump Is Not Above the Law.” Of course, we would agree with that statement. But the Times isn’t interested in impartial justice. You see, the writers at the Times and other outlets that worship and serve the Beast, while Donald Trump is not above the law, Barak Obama (spied on the Trump campaign), Hillary Clinton (server gate and other crimes too numerous to mention), Hunter Biden (laptop from hell), Joe Biden (grand theft election) are above the law. So too are the alphabet agencies such as the FBI, the CIA, the NSA, and the DOJ. The Times is asking you to forget about the massive, treasonous activities of these individuals and organizations while focusing on a supposed “crime” of Donald Trump which appears not to be a crime at all. Indeed, given the consistent, outrageous lying on the part of the Democrats and the Deep State about Trump since at least 2015, Americans have every right to dismiss this latest dust-up over Trump’s stealing of classified documents as the latest and most desperate hate hoax against the former President, who is hated and feared by the party of rum, Romanism, and rebellion to a degree that I have not personally witnessed before in the world of politics.
So, what does the Bible say about living under an occupation government, a usurping, corrupt, and illegitimate government? As was mentioned last week, there is a surprising and little discussed example of that very thing in Scripture, the reign of Queen Athaliah of Judah.
One supposes that there are many who attend nominally Protestant churches these days who would be surprised to hear that Judah had a queen for six years. But such was the case. And her reign can be instructive to us as to how to live as God’s people under an occupation government and not give up hope.
