					<description><![CDATA[Gods people Should be Ready for the 2025 Agenda [ Stop the Coup ] which is Communist Fascism under the guise of &quot;Christian&quot; Conservatism&quot;.  From their PDF summary document.

Project 2025: Background &#038; Vision: “Project 2025”

 Marks the second major vision document, or Mandate for Leadership, by Christian right groups; the first was in 1981, the year Ronald Reagan became president. By the end of that year, sixty percent of their proposed reforms had become policy, they claim. After Trump was elected in 2016, conservatives pushed through two-thirds of their fifth Mandate for Leadership agenda. As the newest vision paper, Project 2025 carries forward the unfinished proposals of 2016 and 2022, but represents a major departure in both the scope and the granular detail of its ambition to recapture the White House and overhaul our system of government and power structure.

 Christian Ideology: Project 2025 backs a vision of a smaller federal government, shifting decision-making power to the state level of government and, where possible, shifting government functions and responsibilities to the private sector. That’s not a surprise. But in what marks a radical departure, it backs a “unitary executive theory” of power, giving special, unprecedented,“supreme” powers to the Executive branch to carry out these reforms.

 Such a step would radically alter our present US democratic system of checks and balances. Many of the reforms proposed for various agencies are aimed at reducing or delaying the oversight power of Congress and the courts to oppose the rapid implementation of Project 2025’s agenda.Project 2025 also calls for aligning federal domestic and foreign policy with conservative Christian religious values.

 It would replace secular public education with Christian-based education, and shift public education dollars to private and Christian schools. Project 2025’s
vision is not only an embrace of authoritarianism, but envisions a future Christian-led theocracy. Project 2025 seeks to eliminate or merge key government regulatory departments and agencies, and drastically reverse current Biden domestic and foreign policy in every critical sector. Some proposals call for the creation of novel “parallel” advisory bodies from the private sector, to be given new authority to advise, create, or revise federal policy, with a direct line of
access to the next GOP president.
 
[ Stop the Coup Summary document pg 2 ]

For a time the oppressors will be permitted to triumph over those who know God’s holy commandments.All are given the same opportunity that was granted to the first great rebel to demonstrate the spirit that moves them to action. It is God’s purpose that everyone shall be tested and proved, to see whether he
will be loyal or disloyal to the laws which govern the kingdom of heaven. To the last God permits Satan to reveal his character as a liar, an accuser, and a murderer. Thus the final triumph of His people is made more marked, more glorious, more full and complete....
The people of God should be wide awake, not trusting in their own wisdom, but wholly in the wisdom of their Leader. They should set aside days for fasting and prayer....


We are nearing the most important crisis that has ever come upon the world. If we are not wide awake and watching, it will steal upon us as a thief. Satan is preparing to work through his human agencies in secrecy.... We must know the reasons of our faith. The importance and solemnity of the scenes opening before us demand this, and on no account must the spirit of complaining be encouraged....We may have to plead most earnestly before legislative councils
for the right to exercise independent judgment, to worship God according to the dictates of our conscience. Thus in His providence God has designed that the claims of His holy law shall be brought before men in the highest authority. But as we do all we can as men and women who are not ignorant of Satan’s devices, we are to
manifest no bitterness of feeling. Constantly we are to offer prayer for divine aid. It is God alone who can hold the four winds until the angels shall seal the servants of God in their foreheads.

[ 3SM 369 ]

In the churches which have departed from truth and righteousness, it is being revealed what human nature will be and do when the love of God is not an abiding principle in the soul. We need not be surprised at anything that may take place now. We need not marvel at any developments of horror. Those who trample under
their unholy feet the law of God have the same spirit as had the men who insulted and betrayed Jesus. Without any compunctions of conscience they will do the deeds of their father the devil.... Those who choose Satan as their ruler will reveal the spirit of their chosen master, who caused the fall of our first parents. By
rejecting the divine Son of God, the personification of the only true God, who possessed goodness, mercy, and untiring love, whose heart was ever touched with human woe, and accepting a murderer in His place, the people showed what human nature can and will do, when the restraining Spirit of God is removed, and men are under the great apostate. Just to that degree that light is refused and rejected will there be misconception and misunderstanding. Those
who reject Christ and choose Barabbas will work under a ruinous deception. Misrepresentation, the bearing of false witness, will grow
under open rebellion.

Gods people should be ready for Sunday Law Legislation in 2024, with full enforcement and penalties under a &quot;Christian&quot; Fascist Communist Government by 2025. The Evangelicals are determined to have such a Government by 2025.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Force is the last resort of every false religion.  - ST May 6, 1897


Trial and persecution will come to all who, in obedience to the Word of God, refuse to worship this false sabbath. Force is the last resort of every false religion. At first it tries attraction, as the king of Babylon tried the power of music and outward show. If these attractions, invented by men inspired by Satan, failed to make men worship the image, the hungry flames of the furnace were ready to consume them. So it will be now. The Papacy has exercised her power to compel men to obey her, and she will continue to do so.  - ST May 6, 1897


Compelling power is found only under Satan’s government.  - DA 759.1


Compelling power is found only under Satan’s government. The Lord’s principles are not of this order. His authority rests upon goodness, mercy, and love; and the presentation of these principles is the means to be used. God’s government is moral, and truth and love are to be the prevailing power.  - DA 759.1]]></description>
