The Satanic Left

The Satanic Left | The Stream
Riots. Arson. Vandalism. Cancel culture. Anarchy. Threats of revolution.
With civil disorder cascading across the landscape, Americans ask,
"What on Earth is going on?"
Perhaps a more appropriate question would be, "What the Hell is going on?" Because Hell, most assuredly, is going on.
The "progressive" Left and its minions in academia, business, entertainment, the media and the Democratic Party
embody values and behavior that only can be described as satanic.
You can see this in
four ways that are
different, yet interrelated and mutually reinforcing.
The Left's Four Horsemen: Death, Injustice, Persecution, Deception
First comes the blatant disregard for human life from the womb to the tomb. Discussing whether abortion should be allowed if a woman becomes pregnant through rape or incest, or if her pregnancy threatens her life, is one thing. Demanding abortion at any stage of pregnancy, even right before birth, is quite another.
Allowing babies who survive an abortion to be killed belongs in its own perverted category. ...

On the other side of the age spectrum, mostly Democratic governors ordered nursing homes to accept elderly COVID-19 victims to reduce the anticipated strain on hospitals. As a result, 42 percent of those who died from the disease across the country either resided or worked in nursing homes....
.... Seven of the top 10 states in total nursing-home deaths are governed by Democrats.
A God who hates the shedding of innocent blood is not amused.
Not the Only Thing God Hates
Related to the disregard for human life is the inherent injustice of inverted justice. Democrats use COVID-19 as an excuse to release criminals from jail while intimidating law-abiding citizens with unenforceable mandates on wearing masks and self-quarantining. Democrats use "social justice" as an excuse to allow mayhem to careen out of control while threatening police departments with dramatically reduced funding or extinction.
Yet when federal forces try to restore order, Democrats basically call them Nazis....
...
Christians and Jews are Our Misfortune
Accompanying inverted justice is
increasing persecution of Christians and Jews. As
The Stream has documented, Democrats use COVID-19 as an excuse to impede worship and to ignore vandalism of church property.
Meanwhile, Twitter called the Star of David "hateful imagery" and allowed #JewishPrivilege to trend. The Philadelphia Eagles' DeSean Jackson tweeted an anti-Semitic quote ostensibly attributed to Adolf Hitler. Entertainer Nick Cannon made anti-Semitic remarks on his podcast. Only a barrage of pressure forced all three to retreat.
Yet "progressives" support Islam to such a degree, they refuse to demand accountability for it's anti-Semitism, terrorism or violence against women and homosexuals. Former Vice President Joe Biden, the Democrats' Presidential nominee, even suggested that public schools teach Islam.
Of course, the Left supports all religions not called "Judaism" or "Christianity" as part of its commitment to "tolerance." But that commitment is merely a weapon against the civilization both biblical faiths fostered, as well as against those faiths themselves.
The Underlying Root
Undergirding all that behavior is a pervasive culture of intimidation, expressed through
accusation, slander and bullying. Cancel culture offers the ultimate proof.
Accompanying the culture of intimidation is a spirit of deception. Social media censors ideas that challenge conventional wisdom. Schools become indoctrination centers. Respected newspapers, magazines and television networks
deteriorate into nothing but sources of propaganda.
Providing the energy is
the ultimate lie, one that dates back to the Garden of Eden:
Humanity doesn't need God. It's a lie that not only fuels "progressives." It will ignite the massive rejection of God described in 2 Thessalonians 2: 3-12.
God's response is both fascinating and frightening.
Give Them What They Want
Therefore God sends upon them a strong delusion, to make them believe what is false, so that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
Are we seeing a prelude to the ultimate manifestation of that strong delusion?
Perhaps, especially when you consider how popular Satanism and witchcraft are becoming, with the entertainment industry's help. Both promote themselves by emphasizing individualism, nonconformity — and political activism.
Not for nothing did Saul Alinsky, in his activist manual,
Rules For Radicals, reserve an acknowledgement for Lucifer.
