Matthew 5:7-12, 43-48

7 “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. 8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. 9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. 10 Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11 Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. 12 Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

43 You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, 45 that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.

46 For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? 47 And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the tax collectors do so? 48 Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.”

There has been a lot of grief about the opening ceremonies of the Olympics. And while many, even Christians have tried to say that it was not intended to be an attack on Christianity, the apology by the Olympic committee would say differently. Now, I am not going to go into the whole mess. I am going to say that I continue to be astonished by Christians who are surprised at these attacks. Why?

Do you not have a Bible, or do you not understand that these are the normal events that will happen over and over again as we get closer and closer to Jesus’ return. These are the things that happen to a depraved society that has defied its Creator, according to Romans 1. I would like to offer some positive ways to view this mess and offer ways that we are instructed to respond.

  1. The Attacks Should Bolster Our Faith

They are not attacking Islam or Buddhism or any other religion; they are attacking Christianity. The Devil, we are told, does not run a divided kingdom. He is a smart fellow; he is not going to attack his counterparts and harm them. The mere fact that Christianity is the focus of deviant behaviors should bolster our faith, our trust in the scriptures, and our hope in the truth of God’s word.

This means that many of these participants know that the Bible is true, that Jesus is real, and that salvation is good. They choose to defy God to His face. They think that they can do this without repercussions, but they cannot. One can only defy the grace of God for so long before the wrath of God comes to the surface; see Genesis 6-9. They make fun of the truth, and we should find a certain security in that as believers.

  1. We need to Be Merciful, verse 7 (above)

Were it not for the kindness and grace of God, maybe we would be the ones in drag, in the homosexual life, and in the drug life. Maybe we would be alcoholics, and on and on we could go. We are not better than these folks in and of ourselves; we have Jesus. Without Him, we are just sinners with no hope and no help. We would be blind like those around us, hard-hearted and dead in reality. But we met Jesus, we saw our sin, saw our need, and humbled ourselves to His grace, His mercy, and His salvation. And then our eyes were opened, and our dead bodies were made alive in Jesus. Now, let us extend mercy to these folks, even the ones who deny our God and make fun of Him.

  1. We need to Rejoice in the Middle of it all, verse 12

As I mentioned before, they are trying to disrupt us. The worst response we could have is to rejoice and be thankful that we are counted worthy to be persecuted. Why? This has been the pattern for the truth tellers from the very beginning of sin; the story of Cain and Abel reminds us that liars will always hate those who stand for the truth. Jesus often told the Pharisees that their ancestors had killed the prophets. Why? Because they hated the truth. They killed Jesus because they hated the truth from Him. Rejoice, bless God, and thank God for the enemies of the truth; they remind us that we have the truth.

  1. Love, Pray for, and Do Good, verse 43-48

Jesus died for their sins as well. God, in 2 Peter 3, tells us He is not willing that any should perish (go to Hell). He wants these vagabonds to repent, see their need for Jesus, and spend eternity with Him. Jesus came to save sinners; these are the very people He came for. I was the person He came for. You are the person He came for. I read an article about this mess, and the author, a Christian, pointed out that there were teams of Christians on the ground there in Paris sharing the Gospel.

Our church association has a team of 37 people this week and more coming next week to hand out Gospel tracts and Bibles. They are sharing the Gospel and winning people to Jesus. We should be praying for these very folks to meet someone with the Gospel and that the Holy Spirit would open their eyes to see and ears to hear.

We should want them to meet another believer and be transformed; we should want them to be saved. Sadly, too many of us want to call fire down from heaven, but we should call grace down from the cross for them. We should call mercy for them and beg that they will come to know Jesus as Savior. One day they were blaspheming and the next worshiping because they met Jesus who came to save ALL of us from our sins.

Let us never forget how gracious God is and has been to us; we should pray that all men, even drag queen men, would fall at His feet and be changed. Jesus is coming soon, and the time for judgment will be here, but now we have the time of grace, mercy, salvation, redemption, and restoration. Jesus – the Way, Truth, and Life – is still saving souls. Oh, that all men would come to Him today.

God bless you,

Unredacted Covid Documents Reveal the Persecuted and Smeared ‘Unvaccinated’ Were Right to Resist (Video)

From rairfoundation.com

The unvaccinated, once vilified and marginalized during the pandemic, have emerged as the true winners of the Covid era, as the release of unredacted documents exposes the coordinated effort behind the false narrative that fueled unjust restrictions and social consequences.

“For me, the winners of the day are the unvaccinated people of the Corona era.” This statement by columnist Hans-Ulrich Jörges captures a powerful truth that has come to light following the release of unredacted documents from Germany’s Robert Koch Institute, the country’s leading public health agency. These documents reveal that the widely promoted narrative of “the pandemic of the unvaccinated” was not just a misleading slogan—it was a coordinated effort, a mass line narrative attack designed to manipulate public perception and enforce compliance on a global scale.

The Manufactured Narrative: A Global Coordination

The unredacted documents from the Robert Koch Institute—Germany’s equivalent of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)—show that the slogan “the pandemic of the unvaccinated” was a deliberate, coordinated strategy agreed upon by government agencies worldwide. This was not an accidental misunderstanding or misinformation; it was a calculated move to create a unified message that justified unprecedented and illegal restrictions on individual freedoms. The unvaccinated were not just marginalized; they were systematically targeted by a global effort to control the narrative on Covid and treatments and suppress dissent or even any questioning of the official views.

The Obvious and the Less Obvious Implications

The obvious implications of this narrative were the temporary but deeply troubling restrictions placed on the freedoms of those who refused to comply with the state’s demands. The unvaccinated faced social exclusion, were barred from public spaces, and were subject to public humiliation—all based on a lie.

But the less obvious, and perhaps more dangerous, implications are in the use of the tactic itself.

This was a classic example of a Maoist mass line narrative attack—a strategy designed to transform a free society into a Marxist authoritarian state. By creating a feedback loop where criticisms and concerns were amplified, systematized, and then fed back to the masses as a unified narrative, the state was able to mobilize public opinion against the unvaccinated, portraying them as the enemy.

This approach, rooted in Maoist theory, emphasizes the manipulation of the masses to create a sense of consensus against a targeted group. In this case, the unvaccinated were the target, and the state’s use of this tactic reveals a deliberate attempt to undermine individual rights and establish a more powerful, authoritarian state.

The Covid Measures: A Violation of Law and Ethics

The Covid lockdowns and vaccine mandates were more than just public health measures—they violated federal laws and international agreements, including the Nuremberg Code, which was established to prevent such abuses after World War II. The fact that these measures were implemented despite being unconstitutional underscores the dangerous precedent that was set during the pandemic.

While it is refreshing to see the unvaccinated finally vindicated with the release of these documents, there remains a glaring lack of accountability. Those who knew that the mRNA vaccines were ineffective and still pushed the narrative have yet to face consequences. Worse still, there has been no acknowledgment of the state’s breach of constitutional rights in the name of an alleged public health emergency.

Understanding the Mass Line Narrative Attack

To prevent a repeat of this dark chapter in history, it is crucial to understand the nature of the mass line narrative attack. Those who fail to recognize this tactic will be just as vulnerable to the next one, whether it involves another pandemic or any other manufactured crisis. With the left, the point is never the point—the revolution is always the point. The Covid measures were not about public health; they were about eroding the Western concept of the individual altogether with the notion of individual rights and establishing an all-powerful state.

There can be no forgiveness for an agency that refuses to acknowledge its true motives. In a leftist state, never assume incompetence when malice can explain the results. And in this case, the results are clearly explained by malice.

The Path Forward: Recognizing the Next Attack

The battle against authoritarianism does not end with Covid. It will only end when we learn to recognize the signs of a mass line narrative attack and resist it at every turn. The unvaccinated may have emerged as the winners of the Corona era, but how does that change or settle anything? A Pyrrhic victory at best, but the fight for freedom is far from over. We must remain vigilant, for the next attack may already be on the horizon.
