Picking Sides in Battles

Be careful about picking sides in a physical battle. Yes, indeed this is true. What we hear in the news is not "real news." What is being perpetrated by the ruling class is sheer wickedness. Yet, it is not a physical battle we fight. We fight for the souls of people who are being dragged down into Sheol through deception and conflict. It is called the Hegelian dialectic, a term not more than a couple of centuries old yet a method that has been used for millennia. It is one of the primary tools in the shed of the "artist of war" against Yahweh and His plan to bring righteousness to the heart of man.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in heavenly places. Ephesians 6:12

However we are right to support and defend the widow, the alien, the poor and the fatherless right? Maybe not by bombing whole cities and killing endless innocent people (I would argue Christians shouldn't be killing people at all). This is what they claim they are doing but we know better. This is what is really going on:

"Do you become a king because you are competing in cedar? Did not your father eat and drink And do justice and righteousness? Then it was well with him. He pled the cause of the afflicted and needy; Then it was well. Is not that what it means to know Me?" Declares Yahweh. "But your eyes and your heart are intent only upon your own dishonest gain, and on shedding innocent blood and on practicing oppression and extortion."
Jeremiah 22:16

In Revelation 18 it says:

And I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, *My people*, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues. For her sins have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities. Render to her just as she rendered to you, and *repay her double according to her works*; in the cup which she has mixed, mix double for her. In the measure that she glorified herself and lived luxuriously, in the same measure give her torment and sorrow; for she says in her heart, ‘I sit as queen, and am no widow, and will not see sorrow.’ Therefore her plagues will come in one day—death and mourning and famine. And she will be utterly burned with fire, for strong is the Lord God who judges her.

He did just say, "My people...repay her double according to her works." There will be a time when God raises up His overcomers and they will reign as His rod of iron. Here is the patience and faith of the saints.
