Jesus typically had no kind words for the Pharisees and Sadducees. However, on one occasion, he did give them credit for doing one thing very well. They were great meteorologists.
“You are good at reading the weather signs of the skies—red sky tonight means fair weather tomorrow; red sky in the morning means foul weather all day” (Matthew 16:2–3, TLB). Jesus’s complimentary demeanor didn’t last long. He then went back to rebuking them, as was his way, saying, “But you can’t read the obvious signs of the times!”
As we look at the U.S.—and Western civilization, as a whole—we can see the world broken up into two kinds of people: those who can read the obvious signs of the times, and those who cannot; those who can find true north on their moral compass, and those who cannot.
Those of the former category read the obvious signs and wonder if we are going the way of Sodom. They stand up for children’s innocence and push back against Sodom’s moral relativism, sexual exposure, and exploitation. They try and resist all that kids nowadays are compelled to experience and take in, as children are bombarded with this corruption coming from peer pressure, sports, entertainment, social media, and the public school system, among other venues.
Meanwhile, as those of the former group notice what’s going on, those of the latter group claim that those opposing them are hyperventilating over nothing. They dismiss the other group’s concerns for the welfare of society (in general), and of children (in particular) and ridicule those who take a stand as engaging in “nothing more than a moral panic.” They dismiss and then continue promoting their agenda of deviance.
An Intelligent Approach
With these battle lines drawn, I took the final month of 2022 to consider what we’re doing in this battle, in the first place. We have an aggressor, and it’s easy to say that this is all Straight from the pit of hell! While that is obviously true, it may be too simple to say that and leave it at that. If we’re to be successful in spiritual warfare, we would benefit from an understanding of our enemy.
We would profit from the answer to a few questions: What’s the source of this corruption? Is it spiritual or physical? Is there more than one source? What is its agenda?
I’m a former military intelligence analyst. For a time, my career consisted of knowing the enemy—specifically, knowing where he has been, in order to reasonably conclude where he may be going next—and reporting my findings to those with what we had called the need to know. With this background, I’ll be taking this same approach, here. I’ll be looking at what modern sociologists are calling Gender theory—the greatest source of corruption the West has known, since the fall of the hedonist Roman Empire—and viewing this ideology through the lens of an intelligence analyst.
When approaching this subject, I had considered the work of the enemy in this area and sought to discover where we’re at, how we got here, and how to move forward. I sought to study the enemy of our souls and the enemy of our society, so that we might consider where he may be going next and where he wants us to go next.
My consideration yielded positive results. Though, to be sure, a great deal of the negative had to first be unearthed.
Searching for Answers
Going in, I knew I’d be opening up a can of worms. As I began to research this corrupting influence, I found that I had instead opened up a door to an entire warehouse full of ugly, bloody worms feasting on a society decaying from the inside out.
What I found was a genealogy of evil. I discovered the damaging madness that operates in both the spiritual and natural realms, each of them working hand in hand with the other. I unearthed the answers to the questions posed above and I found that those answers took up more space than just the typical blog post I had been used to writing toward. The answers took up more space than my Master’s thesis. I found I had begun to write a book.
This work had originally been released one chapter at a time on Substack.com. What was published here is nearly identical to what had been put on that platform, but for a few additions and minor edits. On that platform, interested readers could follow hyperlinks to further reading on other online destinations. Here, endnotes provide the source material.
Fight the Fight
As the reader will learn, what is included here is substantial. Yet, it’s not a comprehensive work. The reader should know that this won’t be an exhaustive study on the subject. With as much detail as I’ve included, much has yet been omitted.
What is not omitted is certain graphic details pertaining to the atrocities that have been, and are still being, committed in the name of gender. You may wish to keep in mind that, as we get further into the swamp of this unpleasantness, I’ve actually toned down the details.
Some of what’s to come will be appalling. I’m hoping that, with the reader becoming appalled, they will then find motivation to fight the good fight and enter the fray. This battle is one that needs more troops.
Our society and our society’s children are at risk. Lives are being lost. Death and suffering are no longer at the doorstep. The door has been opened and they have crossed the threshold.
