Jan Markell: The Spirit Of The Antichrist Reigns Again In My Hometown

Jan Markell

Minneapolis saw it in 2020 with George Floyd, and lo and behold, that same spirit reigns again in my hometown. This time, the accused are ICE agents doing their job. And well.

In 2020, I wrote in an article like this one, stating, “In the Twin Cities, 1,000 properties have been vandalized, looted, burned, or totally destroyed along with apartments above these businesses and homes.

“Our media shows business owners staring in stunned disbelief as many were reeling from Coronavirus destruction, but now they face the result of rampant anarchy due to the George Floyd fallout. The media adds insult to injury by calling the destruction ‘peaceful protests.’”

Mogadishu on the Mississippi – Can You Imagine?

I said back then that Minneapolis looks like Somalia, and I began calling us “Mogadishu on the Mississippi.” Rep. Ilhan Omar should finally be happy, but she still wails and curses America. She needs to go.

Here We Go Again? How Is This Possible?

Then, a few weeks ago, it started all over again. Most Minnesotans are very normal people. They are hardworking. Many have Scandinavian roots, and although their homelands were comfortable with Socialism, many of them are not! 

Yes, too many vote Democrat, and Minnesota—whose state bird is the loon—produces Democrat politicians who are equal loons. You’ve seen their distorted, weeping faces on the media for weeks. They all cry crocodile tears, and they all love the criminal and hate the poor victims.

One of them almost became Vice President of the United States—Tim Walz. If that doesn’t keep you awake at night, nothing will. 

Somalis Love America. Oh, Really?

But the lunacy of the Minnesota Left goes back to the strong delusion of thirty years ago, when these same foolish Democrats thought that importing 100,000 East Africans with no education or skills would benefit this state. All they cared about was that these immigrants would vote for every corrupt leftist on the ballot.

The Coming Man of Lawlessness

Two relevant Bible verses read, “Let no one deceive you in any way, for that day will not come unless the rebellion comes first and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God.”  (II Thessalonians 2:3-4)

Again, this occurs during the Tribulation from which the Church is absent. Yet, what we have seen playing out on the streets of Minneapolis is a dress rehearsal, though subdued compared to the lawlessness and turmoil in the Tribulation. It is still setting the stage for the Antichrist.

The Antichrist won’t have to rent-a-mob—and be assured, many rioters are hired guns making good wages. When he reigns, much of the world will be lawless, godless, tumultuous, and confused. Antifa will be the normal! Anti-ICE demonstrations will be mild in comparison.

When People Glory in Chaos

With the restrainer gone, there will be absolutely nothing to hold back the evil, selfishness, and out-of-control behavior! The world can go crazy and will. They will glory in utter chaos.  What we have now is a trial run that is a weak firecracker in comparison. Multiply it by ten or a hundred or a thousand! I’m still embarrassed that my hometown is the petri dish!

The good news is that God will consume the Antichrist and his minions at the end of the Tribulation with the brightness of His coming!

Paving the Way for the Coming Regime

Author Terry James writes, “The rage makes clear the existence of the Antichrist spirit in high places that continues to do everything to bring America and the world into the configuration Satan wants to establish for his soon-coming Antichrist platform. At the heart of the minions’ (both human and supernatural) effort, is destruction of moral values and norms based on Judeo-Christian precepts/concepts.”

He concludes, “Cultures and societies throughout the world—especially in America—must be altered drastically to pave the way for the coming Antichrist regime.”

Terry James sums it up, saying, “Just as we witness the Antichrist spirit surging, we, as born-again believers, should have a surging sense of excitement and comfort. Redemption is near” (Titus 2:13).

The Left Is Working With Islam To Destroy The Judeo-Christian Western Way Of Life… And Europe Is Falling Fast

The madness has now reached peak levels in the UK. This month, the Labor government announced that Britain's countryside is too "white," and come hell or high water, they are going to make it more diverse, whether the people living there like it or not. Get ready for mosques and hijabs in quaint little British towns that were a last refuge from the Islamization that has transformed Britain's big cities. Europe is falling, and it's falling fast. If you had any doubt, this past month proved that the United States, under President Trump, is the last line of defense for Judeo-Christian Western civilization—or what's left of it.

Thanks To Abortion And Progressive ‘Values,’ US Deaths Are Expected To Exceed Births By 2030

The population drop-off developed nations are forecasting (and beginning to vividly see in places like Japan) is not surprising. We’ve told generations of young women and men that marriage and family are just a choice some people make but are not inherently valuable in themselves, that children will hold back their careers or keep them from doing the things they want to do, that pets are a replacement for a child, and that babies are a choice rather than a gift from the Creator. This kind of philosophy has consequences! And the nose-diving birth rate is just one of them.

Replacement Theology’s Gospel Repellent Vs The Jews Most Unflinching Friends

As ambassadors for Christ, many self-proclaimed Christians have delivered the Jewish people a false version of Jesus, stripping Him of His Jewishness and representing Him as someone who despises and rejects them. Consequently, the name of Jesus has become an offence to many Jewish ears. Here also lies the immeasurable benefit of rightly interpreting God's Word: a proper representation of Jesus' profound love for the Jewish people draws individual Jews toward the Gospel.
