Five Days

 


Five days.

Til the election.

The one so contentious it makes the Revolutionary War look like a family squabble.

Never once did I ever think I’d see the collapse of this Great Country in my lifetime. Not on our watch. Not with my generation at the helm. If we lose the legacy left in our care by an army of veterans who died to preserve this Republic, we will have no one to blame but our own deluded selves. We heard the warnings. We may not have known how to steer this storm-tossed ship, but God help us, the alarm bells have been sounding for years. I fear we were asleep at the wheel and woke up too late.

Someone neglected their duty – a collective someone – and missed the frantic warnings sent out constantly by faithful lighthouses for decades. The rocks of destruction obscured the shoreline, but we didn’t recognize the danger. As breakers licked their lips in saline anticipation of our imminent doom, we looked the other way and hoped for the best.

Is it too late to turn this Titanic around? I’m praying it’s not. Oh, God, how I’ve prayed. Earnestly, desperately, weeping, I’ve asked God since January to expose the truth, the lies, the evil, and hold the perpetrators of it all accountable.

Be careful what you pray for.

I had no idea how deep the corruption, how far-reaching the tentacles of evil, how devastating the betrayal by men and women who lied as they swore to support and defend our Constitution against all enemies, both foreign and domestic and bear true faith and allegiance to the same. It never occurred to me that they themselves were our enemies.

God answers prayer. The truth is coming out. And it’s ugly.

I didn’t know about the pedophilia. I didn’t know about adrenochrome. Or Hollywood’s addiction to it. Or red shoes.

I was unaware of the push toward Marxism, socialism, and communism in our universities. For decades.

I naïvely trusted in the balance of power, confident that justice still prevails, and that public servants are exactly that. I had no idea that career politicians never retire and their bank accounts grow larger than the national debt while they tax us into poverty.

I laughed at the overreaction and obvious marketing maneuvers when designer face masks first showed up on the internet on foreign faces. I never dreamed our elected officials would soon force them on us and that citizens would be arrested for refusing to wear them.

You see, until this spring, I thought that America was still the Land of the Free.

I was sure everyone around me would realize the “novel” virus could be outsmarted by a healthy immune system created for just such a purpose by our Creator. But I, like everyone else, knew nothing of herd immunity until a group of courageous doctors explained it to us and were immediately shut down, their message silenced, their videos removed. I never dreamed we no longer have freedom of the press or that communistic censorship would rule America.

I also didn’t know the Mainstream Media is corrupt. Like I told you—asleep at the wheel.

This time last year I still believed our Constitution was as impenetrable as Fort Knox. That my right to peaceably assemble, worship in public or private, and bear arms if the need arose to protect my property, my loved ones, or my own life was immutable. I still understood that public property was public – not once did it cross my mind that statues stood in the open as an invitation to thugs to destroy them—without fear of consequences.

I’ve been a mother for thirty-nine years, but if either of my children had ever attacked police officers, thrown Molotov cocktails at department stores and federal buildings, beaten strangers bloody simply because they disagreed with them, or stolen millions of dollars’ worth of merchandise and called it a “peaceful protest,” the last thing on earth I’d have done was form a wall with other mothers of criminals and wept at the way my kids were misunderstood by the masses.

I’d have beaten their butts and turned them in to the police. Just ask my children.

I always understood that destruction and violence were against the law and would be punished. That “peaceful” meant no one died or was maimed and no buildings were burned down while police officers watched helplessly on the sidelines as per orders from their supervisors and mayors. I thought “protesters” and “rioters” were listed separately in the dictionary for a reason.

I didn’t know someone changed dictionaries when I wasn’t looking.

But above all else, as wave after wave of shocking violence and panic and fear was lobbed at us every single day since last spring, it was inconceivable to me that the end result would be the fall of our country into the hands of power hungry politicians who’ve sold their souls to the devil of socialism.

Is it too late for America? I don’t believe for one minute that God is punishing us. Let’s be real here—we’ve never been a perfect people in a perfect country. I am confident that God is on the side of good. He shed His grace on America, remember? That the great experiment of freedom dreamed up by our forefathers was honored by our Creator. He fights for us. And while I did not, any more than you, see the net that was cast for us by enemies both foreign and domestic this year, nothing takes the God of Heaven by surprise.

Nothing.

It is not too late to avoid the breakers. To save our ship. The world is rooting for us—it’s true. I’ve read their comments. People in Australia and England and Canada and Spain and Chile and Africa and other countries see the trouble we’re in and they are praying for us. Praying that we will survive this crisis. Why?

Because America is the last vestige of hope in a world already overtaken by evil men who want nothing more than to oppress freedom.

Five days. While the clock ticks its countdown, the beacons of warning flash their lights  across the waves—from sea to shining sea.

Are you awake yet?
