Gerhard Kittle & Christian Nations … A Biblical/Lexical Argument

When the term “ἔθνη” is used in the sense of Gentiles, it is often use with no sense of plurality of nations. The word is used non-sociologically to describe all the individuals who do no belong to the chosen people. But God is King of all the nations (Jer. 10:7; cf. Rev. 15:3). The divine order of the table of nations (Gen. 10) is in accord with this fact. From the first patriarchs there does not descend a single humanity, but a group of nations divided according to clans and differing language, custom, and situation The attempt to resist this in Gen. 11 has its origin in human pride. God intervene to re-establish the order imposed by Him. Similarly, in Dt. 32:8 the division of the world into nations is a divine order and not a punishment for human sin: ‘When the most high divided to the nations their inheritance, their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number (of the sons of God).’

Gerhard Kittle
Theological Dictionary of the New Testament
9 TDNT, vol. 2, Kittle, 367.

“Note the interpretive framework that the TDNT makes here with regard to Gen. 10 and 11. He assumes that the division of nations in Gen 10 was God’s plan, and that the world existed in this state for a time. But then men came together in rebellion against this state to form the tower of Babel. God’s act to separate the nations at Babel was therefore, according to Kittle, to restore humanity to their previous state as recorded in Gen 10, separated according to their clans, languages, lands, and nations.

Hence, ethno-nationalism is NOT a sin.

But it IS a tautology.”

Rev. Michael Shover

Over and over again it has been demonstrated that nations existing as decided peoples operating together in a political and cultural atmosphere is the will of God for people(s). When coupling this with the truth that God intends for the nations to be disciple, and with the reality that we see in Revelation that they were indeed discipled unto Christ, we have to insist that the nationalism that is required in Scripture must be coupled with the adjective “Christian.” All nations should be Christian nations — and will be Christian nations — and because of that they all will be practicing one form or another of Christian Nationalism.

Now, we can discuss what Christian Nationalism should look like and there are sundry views on that (I have my own and it does not include top down rule) but it can not be denied that Christian Nations having a Christian Nationalism as their governance is the only and singular Christian position. Any other view is … “non-Christian.”

American Empire

Tucker Carlson made a point in his monologue preceding his conversation with Meagan Kelly that with the American orchestrated Venezuela coup we are now officially an “Empire.” Tucker complimented Trump for being honest about that given Trump’s statement about seizing the oil.

My only beef here with Carlson is that he’s a little late to the party in announcing that the US is now an Empire. The US has been an Empire since 1865 with Lincoln’s victory over the South. That War changed these united States into THE United States and re-created America as Empire. So, the first turn to Empire in our history was internal. We went from being a Republic to being an Empire. The truth of that was seen in the Empirical Reconstruction brought upon the South and its Institutions. The South were the first people dragged into the Humanist Yankee Empire and forced to conform to the ways of the Empire. What the Constitution created as a “Nation of Nations,” was now transformed, via the work of Lincoln, into a unitarian Nation State.

However, our role as Empire did not stop with the Civil War and Reconstruction. Very shortly thereafter our Empire broke outside the bonds of territorial and continental USA. In 1898 we seized Cuba from the Spaniards. In that settlement we also took the Philippines but they objected and so between 1899-1902 we brought war to those islands before they acquiesced to US Empire.

From there, with the two World Wars the US made was to expand Empire. Now, the kind of Empire that was being built via WW I and WW II was not your typical Empire of land seizure and overt control but we were an Empire every bit as the Brits had been before they lost their Empire in WW II. The Empire we built in the first half of the 20th century was an Economic Empire. This is especially seen for folks who know anything about the Bretton Woods agreement which tied the world’s economy to the US Dollar. Americans like to think of how noble the US was in “freeing Europe,” during those conflicts but lives lost in battle is the cost paid for building Empire and Economically, after part II of the World War finished in 1945 we were the world’s Emperor along with the Soviet Union. And many wonder if the Soviet Union only existed at our behest in order to only give the appearance that we were being challenged so that the citizenry here and abroad in the “Free West,” would be frightened into accepting the US as Empire. There are more than a few who will argue that US and Soviet contretemps was all part of the game to manage the world.

Returning to the theme, Carlson’s observation that we are now explicitly an Empire comes about 160 years too late. Carlson may well argue that the mask has finally come off with Trump’s seizure of Venezuela and with Trump’s intimidating Greenland but for those with eyes to see that the US is Empire is very very old news.

Now, one of the perks of being Empire is that the Empire makes the peace. This is seen in history with the Pax Romana and the Pax Britannica. When both Rome and later Brittain stood astride the world each made the Peace. Sometimes that peace was made by sending troops across their far flung Empire to force peace and sometimes that peace was made by dictating the terms in any regional squabble. Empires become the World’s Sheriff, or as it is said today, “The Global Cop.” And that is what we are seeing with the Trump administration. Trump boasts about how many wars he has settled. That is what Empires do. You can bet the farm that the Empire is giving incentives that only Empires can give in order for these wars to be settled.

Of course Empires always fall. Rome did. Britain did. The Ottoman Empire did. The Austro-Hungarian Empire did. What is interesting is that when Empire’s fall it is often because they become over-extended and can’t meet all their responsibilities. Eventually, some aspiring Patriot who doesn’t want to live under Empire notices the weakness, rallies his people, and attacks the Empire. Before that though is the matter of the weakness that sets in. Often that weakness comes as a crisis of confidence on the part of the Empire. Rome’s unwillingness and inability to repulse a comparative handful of Goths is one example. The USSR’s inability to put down the Mujahedeen in Afghanistan is another. This almost happened to America’s Empire under the Carter administration in the late 1970s as a handful of students in Teheran pushed the US Empire to the brink.

Another thing that happens with the fall of Empires is a complete loss of the faith that built the Empire. Now, plenty of people during the existence of Empire see through the faith charade that keeps the Empire afloat. However, once Empire’s fall, they fall because there are no longer enough true believers in the old gods. We are seeing that happen now in the American Empire. Even as Trump tries to rebuild the American Empire there are plenty of people who see that the faith in the God of Liberalism can’t be sustained by the adopting and tolerating of all the competing faith systems that must be adopted and tolerated if a Liberalism turned multiculturalism is to work in keeping the American Empire stitched together.

Another thing that should be noted in this overview is something that Carlson brought out, and that is Empires die when there is no longer any core people left who built the Empire. Carlson used the example of modern London where one must be diligent in seeking to find a Brit in London. Carlson then pivoted to the next obvious example of the US that has been reduced from 88% white in 1970 to 63% white in 2025. Many of our large cities find the numbers even more drastically skewed. Empires cannot last if those who built the Empire do not last.

So … the mask is off and we are officially Empire. This means more wars, which means more of your sons – and in this egalitarian age; daughters – die in order to keep the Empire being the Empire. It means a increased bureaucratic behemoth. In our age it means an increase of technocratic innovation to keep the Empire functioning as well-oiled as it can. It means a lot of bad things that many of us have been screaming about for a very long time. For Christians, it means an increasing abandonment of our undoubted catholic Christian faith. Empires, are, by definition, polyglot. Polyglot entities require a polyglot faith and Christianity is not a faith that can allow other faiths to co-exist with it. At least Christianity of the purest content can’t.

Benjamin Franklin is reported to have told a woman who asked him, after the Constitutional Convention had done its work in forming a Government, what kind of Government had the Founding Fathers formed and his response to the woman was, “A Republic … if you can keep it.” We lost that Republic long ago and if Tucker is correct we have now moved into the open and unapologetic “Empire phase.”

I’m not going to like it.

A Conversation We’d Like To See Take Place

It was the Christmas season and being in the gift-giving mode Evan handed the Pastor a copy of “Who Is My Neighbor,” the anthology assembled by Achord & Dow

“What’s this” Pastor Jackie said staring suspiciously at the gift.

Evan answered, “It’s a book that reveals that the Church has for centuries supported what is now called Kinism.”

Pastor Jackie, visibly stiffened and imperceptibly snorted. He informed Evan that he’s heard about this book and the word coming back to him was that these were a bunch of quotes mined and taken out of context.

Evan, never one to be put off, said; “Have you or any of your clergy buddies or even anyone you know ever demonstrated that any of these quotes in this volume are taken out of context?”

Pastor Jackie’s hair stood on end. He realized now that this was a challenge and not merely a conversation. He understood that this was a gift the same with giving someone the plague might be a gift.

Evan took Rev. Glease’s silent hesitation for the concession that it was and immediately unloosened a verbal arrow that went straight for the Pastor’s shrinking heart;

“Look, Pastor, if you can’t demonstrate and prove to me that this book is just quote mining then I don’t think you should be spouting that this book is just filled with quotes taken out of context. Until you or any of your friends can demonstrate that this book is just filled with quotes taken out of context I’m going to be handing out these books in church like eggs at the annual Rotary club Easter Egg hunt.”

With that Evan pivoted and left behind a dumb struck Rev. Jackie Glease. Glease knew he not only had just been thunderstruck, he knew that his real problems were yet ahead of him. He knew Evan was not one to be shushed. He knew that soon enough he would be inundated with appointments with people who wanted to probe about the quotes in the Acord & Dow Anthology, “Who Is My Neighbor.”

He also found himself praying that his people wouldn’t learn about the other anthology that also was filled with quotes on the same subject. Rev. Glease knew that answering questions on “Who Is My Neighbor” didn’t need to be complicated by having to answer questions on the anthology “A Survey of Racialism In Christian Sacred Tradition,” by Alexander Storen.

Glease went into his study and picked up the phone and put in a call to Doug Wilson. Certainly Doug would have some clever way to dismiss all these bothersome quotes.

Diana West, Lawrence Auster, & McAtee On The Consequences Of WW II

“Having failed to destroy the democracies by making Nazi war, then, Hitler may have unwittingly managed to destroy democracies by effecting a post-Nazi peace in which the act of pledging allegiance to the flag itself, for example, would practically become an act of nationalist supremacism – racism, even; bigotry too. Quite suddenly, it didn’t matter whether the culture in question led to a reign of terror, or to liberty and justice for all. The act of maintaining or defending the culture, or, ultimately, even defining it — whether through unabashed opposition to communist expansionism, purposefully selective immigration practices, or even sticking to the Western canon – became confused with and condemned as an exclusionary and, therefore, evil chauvinism. In this way, having won the great victory, the Allies lost the will to survive. Writer Lawrence Auster has explored this theme.

‘Having defined the ultimate evil of Nazism, not as the ultimate violation of the moral law as traditionally understood, by as the violation of liberal tolerance, postwar liberalism then set about dismantling all the existing ordinary particularisms of our own society (including in the case of the EU, nationhood itself) in the name of preventing a resurgence of Nazi-like evil. This was the birth of political correctness, which sees any failure on our part to be completely open to and accepting of the Other – and thus any normal attachment to our own ways and our own society – as the equivalent of Nazism.'”

Diana West
The Death of the Grownup – pg. 191

1.) What West describes here is a description of the triumph of Communism over the West as a result of WW II. The post-Nazi peace she describes is, in point of fact, a peace driven not by a over-reaction to Hitlerian National-Socialism but a peace driven by Communist triumph. The Western “Democracies” got in bed with Stalin and the result was a Communist peace at the end of the war that resulted in all that West describes above. Consider that it has always been a descriptor of Communism to flatten out all distinctions. This flattening of all distinctions brought on by the Bolshevik Communist victory in WW II is what Lawrence above refers to as “dismantling all the existing ordinary particularisms.” This dismantling that occurred as a result of WW II was not a matter of Hitler “unwittingly managing to destroy democracies by effecting a post-Nazi peace” but rather a matter of the Communists – in Russia and in the Democracies – wittingly setting loose a virus that would destroy those democracies.

In brief, where we are at now, is not a matter of something that accidentally happened as a result of WW II, rather where we are at now is a matter of being purposefully designed and pursued by the Communists in the West in the US government and US universities.

2.) Note above that while Diana West properly notes that exclusionary practices that favor Western traditions in culture are now condemned as bigotry and evil chauvinism what remains just as vibrant as ever are the exclusionary practices. The habit of exclusion has not disappeared in the West with the triumph of Communism and political correctness. We are every bit exclusionary today as we were before WW II. The difference is that our exclusionary vision today now chooses different exclusions. What has been excluded today is a White Christian patriarchal culture and that in the name of an anti-bigotry inclusionary vision. We are not bigoted against particularity of any sort save the particularity that pursues a different particularity then the particularity of the New World Order (Babelism … Alienism … Oikophilia, etc.).

3.) The reason that Christian Nationalists today as so adamantly opposed is due to the fact that they want to pursue a different set of exclusionary practices than the anti-Christ One Worlders desire, but have no doubt, both the anti-Christ One Worlders and the Christian Nationalists are every bit as exclusionary in their vision of a desired culture. The reason that so many people find Christian Nationalism to be such a threat is that the Communist anti-Christ one world vision has been fed to us, as a people, morning, noon, and night, for every generation since the Communist victory in WW II.

4.) IF, having a normal attachment to our own ways and our own society  is now seen as “Nazism,” as Auster writes above, then we should just own the fact that we are Nazis. If that is the way that the Communist are going to define Nazism then we need to get over being called “Nazis,” because that is what they are going to call us all day long. It is clear that to a Communist any proper love for a particular people, particular place, and a muscular Christian faith, is now routinely called “Nazism.” We should laugh at the pejorative the way Nick Fuentes laughed at Piers Morgan.

5.) We need to understand that our Communist enemies today desire to do to us what they did to the Germans when they triumphed over them in WW II. This is not a polite disagreement. This is a fight for life and death. Those people intend to destroy us. They are beginning with seeking to ruin people economically and professionally but if they get their way eventually they will move beyond “ruin” to “dead.”

Our Moment

When I was born in 1959, the white population in these united States was 88.6%. It was a white Christian nation. Stores closed on Good Friday and on every Sunday. The SCOTUS even upheld Michigan’s blue laws in 1962 affirming the Michigan Blue Laws constitutionality based on the need for a day of rest.

When I graduated High School in 1977 the white population had dipped a wee bit to appx. 85%. Nobody talked about “race being a social construct,” and very few people denied that race was a real thing. The Franz Boas / Civil Rights Revolution was still on the upswing. Very few people realized the Cultural Marxist egg that had been laid and was already beginning to hatch.

I graduated Undergrad in 1982 and the total percentage of White people in the nation was now down to appx. 83.1% and by the time Jane and I were done having babies the nation was at 80.3%. Now, 35 years later, with the recent 202o census the percentage of White people in these united States is at 61.6%. For those not excelling at math this means between the time I was born and the time my children were born the percentage of White people had decreased by roughly 8%. Between the time of my children’s birth and my most recent grandchildren’s birth the percentage of decrease of White people in America has decreased by almost 20% more. By the time my youngest grandchildren are having their own babies in 2045 the projection is that the US will become a “majority minority white” people in the US  with whites expected to comprise about 49.7%.

This is a staggeringly rapid pace of social, cultural, religious and racial change. Of course none of it “just happened,” nor was any of it a matter of coincidence. All of this can only be described as “genocide,” and if these stats had been correspondingly true of the Han Chinese or Nguni Zulu in their respective nations everyone would be able to recite the statistics by memory because those statistics would be crammed down our throats by the Western Lugenpresse.

However, a noticing of the disappearance of the White Christian though is considered bad taste and proof positive that one is the worst kind of company. The White Christian is being genocided and we are being convinced that noticing is worse than the genocide itself.

Indeed, matters have gotten so bad that church courts in once were thought to be conservative Reformed denominations are doing yeoman’s work in bringing white clergy up on charges who dare commit this kind same kind of sin of noticing. Those few of us who have gotten out of line by noticing loudly have been forced to walk the ecclesiastical plank thus ensuring that any other clergy who might be tempted to state out loud rather Captain Obvious truths will likewise be fed to the politically correct sharks.  We are in a position where we have to fight against those inside the camp as well as fighting against those outside the camp. Which of those two is more dangerous is a coin flip.

And so, we as a people are being incrementally but definitively genocided and matters have been arranged so that it is a crime if you notice the genocide. It’s all very Orwellian as combined with expertise gaslighting.

Of course, it is our elites who have done this to us as they have profited by feeding their people to the NWO alligator, not realizing that the day is coming when they will no longer have anyone to throw to the gator, resulting in the gator finally viewing the elites or their descendants as a tasty morsel.

We really are at a Sobieski arriving at Vienna moment. Either we find another Sobieski to lift the siege or we will all be speaking some NWO form of esperanto. Indeed, it is not unreasonable to consider the possibility that the demographics is destiny bell  is not a bell that one can now unring. Are we at the point where all the efforts of a Martel, Sobieski, Lavallette, and Don Juan combined will not avail us? On my most realistic days I think it is already too late. On my most optimistic days I think that maybe, even yet at this late hour, the tide can be turned.

But the tide cannot and will not be turned unless more and more Christian white men step up and see themselves as heros … knights errant on a mission to set the world aright. The tide will not be turned unless the Church abandons its 250 year romance with a pietism that interprets Christianity to be most noble when it is most defeated, crushed, and vanquished. The call of the hour is a return to an older Christianity that was willing to fight the Turk, willing to call councils to deal with the Jew, and willing to embrace the Ordo Amoris while not being ashamed to deal justly with the heretic.

If I thought it was all hopeless I would not write. If I did not think that God could yet deliver us I would not plead. If I were not conversant with an older Christianity that if returned to could be the muscle needed to conquer under the banners of Christ and His Kingdom I would already have surrendered myself.

But, I still do believe. I believe that Christ sits at the right hand of the Father ruling all things for the good of His Church and Kingdom and I believe that if the Christian will only fight the Christian will either win or if defeated they will make such a glorious end that when the time comes for the Christian faith to rise again subsequent generations will sing songs and recite the poetry that told of how their Fathers with nobility and resolve last fought the good fight. And that will inspire our sons and the sons of Christ to again fight the fight that they will be called to in their generation.

MY orders are to fight;
 Then if I bleed, or fail,
Or strongly win, what matters it?
 God only doth prevail.
The servant craveth naught
 Except to serve with might.
I was not told to win or lose,–
 My orders are to fight.
