ANTIFA AND THE SHADOW GOVERNMENT
Key Verse: “But You, O Lord shall laugh at them; You shall have all the (hostile) nations in derision” (v.8 NKJV).
Key Theme: David’s song while finding out for the first time Saul wants him dead.
Key Descriptives of God: Shield; My Defense; My Strength
The prophetically relevant nature of these Psalms is beginning to really stand out to me. Yesterday the entire post was about judges and justice. Yesterday President Trump makes a surprise announcement of his large pool of potential Supreme Court Justices. He adds Senator Tom Cotton to that list right after Tom Cotton tweets that Roe vs. Wade must be overturned. The synchronicity with Psalm 58 was amazing. Today it is almost as if ANTIFA is the main focus — though it extends to the “deep state”.
CRIMINALS AND MURDERERS
Psalm 59, coincides with 1 Samuel 19 and is when David for the first time finds out that Saul wants to kill him. This is right after David has killed Goliath and it is Jonathan who warns him that his house is being watched and that his father has instructed all his servants to find and kill David. I again see such parallels with President Trump. David after revealing himself as a gamechanger on the national scene finds himself constantly facing trouble/treason/death. Trump the same. Saul is the previous administration already judged by God and David from early on knows his true evil identity. In verse 2, David says, “Rescue me from THESE CRIMINALS, save me from THESE MURDERERS.” He already knows Saul doesn’t work alone and that he is a CRIMINAL and a MURDERER. Verse 3, “They have set an ambush for me. Fierce enemies are out there waiting”. Has there ever been anyone more “ambushed” then President Trump? Has anyone ever had more “fierce enemies”? And as David says in verse 4, “I have done nothing wrong, yet they prepare to attack me.” Samuel has already anointed him King, but the “shadow government” is trying to take him out. Repeat.
WAKE UP, SEE, AND HELP!
“Wake up! See what is happening and help me!” (v.4b) I love David. He is like the disciples in the boat of Mark 4. They thought they were just “crossing over” into new destiny but a vicious storm has instead arisen. They face potential death and they see Jesus SLEEPING. Their words to Him seem identical as David’s here in verse 4. WAKE UP! SEE, AND HELP! Apparently this is not an offensive prayer, so I would take it as a model if it is applicable for you. Ever seem like God is asleep while YOU are in a storm? Comfort, comfort, My people, you are not the first.
WICKED TRAITORS
“O Lord God of Heaven’s Armies…wake up and punish those hostile nations, show no mercy to WICKED TRAITORS” (v.5). David is a quick discerner and he actually makes a shift here. Saul is the one trying to kill him but David by the spirit knows this is connected to something bigger. There are “hostile nations” involved in this treason. Repeat.
ANTIFA
“They come out at night, snarling like vicious dogs as they prowl the streets” (v.6). You can tell this is a song David is singing because this verse is repeated later in the chapter (v.14). I am going to ask him to sing this song to me in heaven one day. Dogs when addressed Biblically were never “a man’s best friend” nor warm, cuddly pets. Almost without exception, it is thought through the grid of a pack of wild dogs. Insightful here is that “dog” was also a euphemism for a male prostitute (someone paid by someone else to be immoral). This is all applicable to ANTIFA. Their tab is being paid by another. Soros. Next verse. “Listen to the filth that comes from their mouth; their words cut like a sword. “After all, who can hear us?” they sneer” (v.7). Guess who hears?
GOD LAUGHS AT ANTIFA
“But Lord, YOU LAUGH at them. You SCOFF at ALL the hostile nations” (v.8 NLT). ANTIFA sneers at its supposed lack of accountability, but God IS AWAKE and DOES SEE and HE LAUGHS. Two Hebrew words are used to describe His laughs. The first one is SACHAQ and it means “to laugh in scorn and contempt”. The Strong’s definition then goes on to say, “especially a person THREATENING TO DO MUCH BUT ABLE TO DO NOTHING.” When God SACHAQ’s that is what He is thinking. He then SCOFF’s which is the Hebrew word LAAG. This word means “deride” and the example given is “as in imitating a foreigner”. This is God making fun of the way they talk and saying it back out loud to His “friends” in their “foreign” accent. As in, “Who can hear us?” said in some mocking tone. See God doing that today with ANTIFA and with THE SWAMP of the hostile nations. There has never been a better time to make this scripture applicable. THEIR “sneer” is a sneer of ignorance. God’s “laugh” is a laugh of supreme power.
LOOK DOWN IN TRIUMPH
“…My God will stand with me. He will let me look down in TRiUMPh on all enemies” (v.10). David is remembering the feeling he enjoyed while looking down on Goliath. He knows he represents the cause of God and the “He who began a good work…will complete it.” Let that resonate today.
DON’T KILL THEM; STAGGER THEM; BRING THEM TO THEIR KNEES
Verse 11 is just amazing. “Don’t kill them, for my people soon forget such lessons; stagger them with Your power, and BRING THEM TO THEIR KNEES, O Lord our shield.” David may or may not have been “only a boy named David” but his understanding was profound and nuanced. He knows about people “soon forgetting such lessons”. The challenges of this year have gone on and on and seemingly in rounds— but not because God could not easily dispatch with all opposition including trillionaires Soros, Rothschilds, and Rockefellers, billionaires Gates, Dorsey, Zuckerberg, the Chinese Communist Party, the Illuminati, the CFR, the NWO— and whoever else makes you shiver. They are all a totally laughable opposition— the whole bunch of them able to be disposed of in less than 5 minutes. There is a biblical precedent of God sending ONE ANGEL to kill 185,000 men (2 Kings 19:35) in one fell swoop. He is God of Heaven’s ARMIES as David addressed in verse 5, so quickly dealing with a matter is no challenge for Him. But the lesson of an enemy too quickly disposed of often gets forgotten. Furthermore, what and who get’s “killed” doesn’t get the chance to be brought TO THEIR KNEES. ANTIFA already has members “staggering” and “coming to their knees” and that is going to be a progressively significant story. The rest of the big names and organizations I mentioned are also going to get the opportunity to come TO THEIR KNEES. In verse 13, where David calls for “destroying” the enemy he is calling not for their death but for the death of their agenda.
GOD THE STORYTELLER
God is the greatest storyteller ever and He is working on a big one in 2020. It will be told throughout the ages— and you will join in and excitedly say “I WAS THERE!”. People will be as “jealous” as they are of being one of those who in the person saw Goliath taken down by David. Don’t forget it. We are in historical days. Make your participation in these days be as heroic as possible. Do something crazy, radical in alignment with this meta-narrative just so you can tell of your bravery and courage. Everybody in heaven loves to hear this kind of stuff and Jesus will want stories of courage told. Nobody in heaven wishes they had “played it safer” while on earth. EVERYONE wishes they had been less fearful and less driven by self-preservation. NO “hero of faith” is mentioned in the scriptures as “a really, cool balanced guy” who had no enemies. Many pastors are trying to do that right now and go ahead and give up on that. There are no “heroes of moderation” only “heroes of faith.” Am I trying to stir up a revolution? Sort of. But I am more interested in stirring a reformation. I sense a great story unfolding and have no interest in being remembered as Pastor Pablum. I don’t think you do either. His face shines upon us this summer for more than that.
