It is estimated that at least one and a half million Americans took part in one of 3,000 events that took place this weekend.

With a raspy and rather agitating voice, Bruce Springsteen seems to have resurrected the voice of Bob Dylan from the sixties. It’s hard to understand how you can make a folk song out of the resistance to a president. Up to now, we thought the most standard way was to vote against him. Springsteen has apparently found another way.

Following that act, we see Reverend Al Sharpton and actor Robert De Niro walking in together holding a sign that says we protect democracy and people, not billionaires, and we protect our neighbors. When De Niro did speak, he obviously attacked Donald Trump. You would think after all of that exuberance that he’d know exactly what he was going to say, but he didn’t. He had to read it off his cheat sheet.

Most of the protests were wimpy, seemingly pointless, and produced some of the worst music and folk-style protest chanting ever heard in these United States.

If America was under attack, this crowd would not be the people we would hope to be on the front lines. Our enemies might laugh themselves to death.

Signs reading “Stop the War in Iran” were sprinkled and well dispersed among the protesters. It was telling to see them—revealing that there are actually American people who think that a nation like Iran somehow has the right to drop a few atomic weapons on its neighbors.

At one point, Robert De Niro dropped a truth bomb when he said, “When I am chanting with you, no kings, what I’m really saying is no Trump.” He is revealing that no one in these protest groups really cares about Iran. They don’t care about Palestinians, and they don’t care about kings or nuclear war.

They only care about Democrats holding on to power.

It would be one thing to ask, “Is that all you got?” But it would be far more accurate to ask, “Is that all you’ve got to live for?”

Yes, even modern people hate their modern prophets, basically because they tell the people that their behaviors are wrong and they’re well outside of the will of God.

We tend to think it was just the Old Testament prophets, like Jeremiah, who was put into stocks by Pashhur the priest. Or Micaiah ben Imiah, who was imprisoned by King Ahab for prophesying a defeat for Israel instead of a victory. The prophet Amos was threatened by Amaziah, who reported him to King Jeroboam and ordered him to leave Israel and never prophesy again. Isaiah, it is said, was prosecuted and finally sawn in half for his prophecies to Israel.

All the way up to Jesus’ time, we see there the prophet Stephen, the servant of the Lord, rebuking the scribes and the Pharisees by saying, “Which of the prophets have your fathers persecuted?” In Acts 7:52.

There has always been resistance to prophets, even up to modern times. We know that nobody wanted to hear Billy Graham or his son or any of the other prophets of our day speaking to America, to Europe, to the entire world about their sinfulness. They are often hated by most people who don’t want to be told that they are headed in the wrong direction.

But the people don’t always hate the prophets for the message that rebukes them. They also hate them for another reason. This is a theme of scripture. It’s a theme of rebuking by God’s people that can be extracted on any level, biblical and extra-biblical, with a little bit of investigation. What people hate the prophet for is not just because they say what behaviors need changing, but they also predict what the people are going to do.

The Bible explains the great judgments of Revelation in the last days for one reason: because the people did not repent. It’s as if they were told, “This is what you should do,” but God knows you’re not going to do it, and this is the result. That produces the ire of the world.

In decades of writing, one of the most oft-read articles I have ever written is entitled “It Wasn’t God’s Voice I Heard – It Was Yours.” In a dream vision of the second coming of Christ, I was shown many things, but at one point it wasn’t what I saw; it was what I heard that became the subject matter. What I heard was the people of the earth mourning and complaining that Christ had returned and they weren’t ready, and that he had returned and they were not believing.

This is a case not just of telling people they’re going in the wrong direction, but telling them that they are not going to stop and they’re going to slam headlong into the judgments of the living God.

For this, prophets are hated.

Two Kings? Yes, one for a short time, and one for all time

The coming Antichrist will probably not proclaim himself a king, but for a full seven years, he will hold sway over the entire world. He is an economic and political genius who will arrive at the right moment with what seems like his big book of answers for a troubled world. You put together a tenuous kind of peace, at least on a temporary scale, and everybody will waltz along with him as he changes the economic structure of the entire world.

The prophets have indicated that we will fall right into line when he shows up. He’ll look like the man, and we will accept him as that.

Jesus said it this way. “I am come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.” (John 5:43)

Most people around the world think they have too much political savvy to make such a mistake, but you have only to look close to home. What recently happened in New York City? We elected a socialist communist who said that we should enjoy the new warmth of collectivism, and we voted him into office.

Look back just a few years ago. We voted a career politician into office who decided to throw the borders open and have a party with people from all over the world, including criminals and haters of our country.

We are now the nation that cannot define what a woman is – but for some reason, we think we’re too smart to get fooled by the Antichrist.

In fact there will be lots of new kings, but only one of them will shine forever.

I will not muddy the waters. There are too many clear and concise scriptural passages which indicate that in the end the Messiah, the Son of the living God, the one we know as the Lord Jesus Christ, will be the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

He will not reign for a short period, not even a long period. He will reign forever.

You may as well get used to kings; they’re coming back, and they will be here forever. Say goodbye to democracies; say goodbye to any other form of government. We will live in a monarchy.

Revelation 11:15 “And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.”

Revelation 17:14 “These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings…”

Revelation 19:16 “And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.”

1 Timothy 6:15 “…the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords.”
