“Now can your see, by the dawn’s early light,” our English brethren engaging the fight!
“The shot heard round the world” may now only be but a dim reminder of the cost paid for American freedom, yet it’s a burden that’s shared, passing from generation to generation. Our brothers and sisters of the Isles have now countenanced the fact, expressing their outrage that a succession of Parliaments have ignored the obvious, Great Britain has been sold out, a pence for a pound. The upshot is that the English people in exercising their inalienable right to freedom of assembly and expression have discovered another right long forgotten, freedom of religion. Good on and waves across the water, even as we contemplate whether we’ll have the same courage as to be so bold. And while the English and their Irish compatriots have broken ground, pray their example is contagious, finding fertile ground here in America. Glory be to God, a pox on Parliament.
While immigration run amuck may best be described as multiculturalism gone awry, the reality signals sometime far more ominous – mob-rule by government consent. And yet, while confusion benefits neither the common-good nor the security of the state ideas of proper restraint begin to percolate long before the pot begins to boil. It should come as no surprise then to find limits having been placed on human organization for that very reason and by virtue of God himself. Ideals embedded within religious narratives for millennia, that we are only now rediscovering and finding worth defending. While inspirational, they are yet cautionary in their telling, these stories of old. The right and wrong of the matter, which in turn reveal much about the rise and fall of civilizations. And while some may ask, where is God in all this, it has been said, and rightly so, that “In Him we live and have our being” (Acts 17:28). In keeping with the holy writ, it may be of some interest to note that change rarely comes but at the expense of the oppressed, moving God to intercede in a very big way in moving heaven. Not surprisingly, one would not be wrong is saying that true religion is a justice movement just waiting to happen. One whose ideology is configured to either reform or upend any system that runs contrary to the will of God.
That there is this innate quality within humanity which seeks justice, mercy, and fair play, above everything else is plainly evident, as can be seen in the current course of events transpiring in the British Isles. A large and growing segment of the English population is beginning to argue for what they know is right, not only through a spirit of conviction, but by virtue of scripture alone, as it only serves to confirms what many already know in their heart. From a religious perspective then, the current trend is tangible evidence of the Holy Spirit at work. If so, the Nero-cons have ample reason to be concerned, for if God is in it, no one can prevent it. In that token, it could be said that America itself is ripe for a Godly intervention; not through ANTIFA, Black Lives Matter, or any other wokeness, but an honest to God, regenerative spiritual revolution, comprised of ordinary people who’ve reached the limit of their sensibilities when it comes government and the consent of the governed.
