Of Bands & Families

The family brings the past into the present.”
 
 
Carle Zimmerman
Marriage and Family

The leader of the band is tired and his eyes are growing old
But his blood runs through my instrument and his song is in my soul
My life has been a poor attempt to imitate the man
I’m just a living legacy to the leader of the band
I am the living legacy to the leader of the band

Pretend you were a member of a band. The band retains its name despite band members coming and going. The band excelled so much it became transgenerational. Despite key members changing over the years, everyone associated this band with a particular sound and quality. There may be variations but the band is the band regardless of the individual members who comprise the band.
 
 
 
Whether you had an album from when the band first started or an album from its centennial anniversary you could pick out its familiar sounds and riffs.
 
 
 
This provides an illustration for the Trustee family. The Trustee family, like the band, has key members come and go, and yet it remains the self-same Band. The family (hopefully) has the same quality from generation to generation. It has the same sound (same mannerisms, temperaments, dispositions) over the years so one can readily identify the family. The members of the family may change but new family members are not completely inconsistent with the family members who are no longer living members of the family.

The family is not a one-and-done generational phenomenon. It stretches from the past into the present while all the time remaining one unit. Sure, it has different members but it remains “The Band.” 
 
 
 
Because of this I am as attached to my Great Grandfather as he is to my Great Grandson. Different members…. same band.

Because of this, it is not improper to say as I often heard when I lived in South Carolina; “My family has been knowing that family for 100 years.”

Kalergi’s Vision & The NWO

“The man of the future will be of mixed race. Today’s races and classes will gradually disappear owing to the vanishing of space, time, and prejudice. The Eurasian-Negroid race of the future, similar in its appearance to the Ancient Egyptians, will replace the diversity of peoples with a diversity of individuals.”

Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi (1894- 1972)

Some truth is so painful to hear it is considered impolite to mention it. That kind of awkward truth eventually becomes the proverbial elephant in the room that everybody has to step around but nobody dares mention.  The above quote by Kalergi (whose Father was Austrian and whose Mother was Japanese) was prophetic in terms of the goal that remains for the Deep State elite. The Great Reset crowd earnestly desires to fulfill Kalergi’s vision of a blenderized globe where, consistent with the strains of U2’s Bono, “All colors bleed into one.”

Quotes like Kalergi is the reason that people familiar with the movement of social history since WW II (actually before but we will start with that event) talk so freely about the agenda to replace white people in the West. 

The evidence for this is considerable. In 1998 President Clinton could enthusiastically offer in a speech at Portland State University;

“Today, largely because of immigration, there is no majority race in Hawaii or Houston or New York City. Within five years, there will be no majority race in our largest state, California. In a little more than 50 years, there will be no majority race in the United States. No other nation in history has gone through demographic change of this magnitude in so short a time … [These immigrants] are energizing our culture and broadening our vision of the world. They are renewing our most basic values and reminding us all of what it truly means to be American.”

President Obama chimed in on this theme when he noted during his presidency,

“That is why the greatest danger of all is to allow new walls to divide us from one another. The walls between old allies on either side of the Atlantic can not stand.” “The walls between the countries with the most and those with the least can not stand.” “The walls between races and tribes, natives and immigrants, Christians and Muslims and Jews can not stand. These hallowed walls we must tear down.”

Barack Obama – Berlin, July, 2008


Vice President Biden in 2015 went even a little further echoing the vision of Kalergi when he offered his insights about the nature of American Democracy;

“There is a second thing in that black box: an unrelenting stream of immigration, nonstop, nonstop.” Folks like me who are Caucasian, of European descent, for the first time in 2017 we’ll be in an absolute minority in the United States of America, absolute minority,” he said. “Fewer than 50% of the people in America from then and on will be white European stock,” he said. “That’s not a bad thing, that’s a source of our strength.”

If we were to read this trend through Biblical lenses we would easily see that this is all a push to return to Babel. We all call it “the New World Order,” but actually it is a return to the “Old World Order,” that envisions the elimination of distinctions of not only race and ethnicity but also of sex and age. The elimination of distinctions between race and ethnicity is of a piece with the elimination of sex, gender, and age. Loving vs. Virginia was just as much of a piece of this NWO attack on distinctions as was Lawerence vs. Texas or Obergefell vs. Hodges. In the not too distant future, there will be another SCOTUS case that will legitimize sex between children and adults.

The greatest threat to the Christian faith today is the Marxism that continues to attack all distinctions in favor of creating a globe where all men are bastards and border-men, where all men and women regardless of whether they are children or not can have copious sex, where all men share the same sulfur smelling religion and where nobody knows if the person they are marrying is male or female.

I am four-square against the Kalergi vision because I am a disciple of Christ.

Dr. Gordon H. Clark on Dr. Karl Barth’s View of Revelation

“The difference between the Evangelical position and Barth’s ‘Neo-orthodoxy’ and the key to what may seem a confusing dialogue between Barth and (the Lutheran) Hollaz is that orthodox Protestantism equates the Word of God as the Bible. For all Barth’s attempts to make it appear that the Bible is the Word of God, this equation does not hold in his thinking. Behind the proclamation and behind the Bible there is something else that is the Word of God, an event of revelation, and only in this event does the Bible become the Word of God, and only partially at that. To get to the bottom of Barth’s theory, therefore, is necessary to discover and define revelation.”

Gordon H. Clark
Karl Barth’s Theological Method — pg. 165

For Biblical Christians, the Bible is the Word of God. For Barth and his fanboys, the Bible becomes the word of God in a subjective existential encounter.  In Neo-orthodoxy (Barthianism) the Bible per se was only the fallible word of man, but it “contained the Word of God.”

Would Calvin have had more patience with R2K than he did with Servetus? 

Ministerial calling reaches beyond the walls of the local church, even bringing kings in submission to God:

“Why are prophets and teachers sent? Truly to call the whole world to order; not to spare their hearers but to denounce them freely whenever there is need, even to threaten them when they appear obstinate. If the teacher allows himself to be impressed with any sort of superiority in men, he will not dare to offend those whom he thinks distinguished by power or wealth, or by some reputation for wisdom or honor. There is no remedy against such fears, except for teachers to keep God before their eyes and to be assured that he is the author of their words. When their minds are raised to God, they can look down on all human heights and excellencies. This is the purpose of the words God uses, ‘See, I have appointed you over nations and kingdoms.’ Here God affirms that the authority of his Word is so great that it makes subject to itself whatever is high and mighty upon earth —even kings not excepted.”

John Calvin
Commentary on Jeremiah 1:9-10

Of course, keep in mind that most Reformed Seminaries are teaching R2K now and R2K teaches that Ministers are to keep their mouths shut when it comes to matters that exist in the common realm. Yet Calvin makes it clear that the Minister is to call Kings to account if they walk askance from God’s Word.

Would Calvin have had more patience with R2K than he did with Servetus?

Why The Idea of Christian Nationalism Gives Reformed Leadership Night Sweats

“Too many modern evangelicals re-interpret Matthew 28:19 to mean “make disciples from all nations.” But grammar matters and nations is the direct object of the verb to disciple. Of course, we cannot disciple a nation without making disciples from that nation. But to settle for individual converts without teaching those same people to obey everything God commanded, including obedience at the corporate level as it pertains to all things social, cultural, and political, is to stop short. Our marching orders are to make the nations of the world Christian, including our own, which one could conceivably call Christian Nationalism. “

Rev. Rhett Burns

Are You a Christian Nationalist?



The above-linked article is really quite well done. If I hadn’t known I didn’t write it, I could’ve sworn that I wrote it myself. I don’t know Rev. Burns, though unfortunately, I know he is a Baptist. If only more Reformed people would write articles like the Baptist Burns wrote in the link above maybe we would have enough Calvinists to fill a phone booth.It is definitely the case that Evangelicals today hate the whole idea of Christian nationalism … or at the very least they hate the idea of White Christian Nationalism. Names like Tim Keller, Jonathan Leeman, Russel Moore, Mark Labberton, Kevin DeYoung, etc. are all on record as being appalled at the notion of White Christian Nationalism. For many in the Leadership of the Evangelical Church today I think it is safe to say that they would have no problem with Christian Nationalism as long as white people were not Christian Nationalists. In so many cases the very people who break into a cold sweat while contemplating Christian Nationalism break into that cold sweat because being WOKE any organizing of White people to pursue their interest makes them nauseous. We know this is true because in so many cases these very same people are full-throated supporters of Israeli Nationalism or South African Nationalism as led by the African National Congress are the people who are adamantly opposed to White Christian Nationalism.Alternately, the explanation for why so many in the Leadership of the Evangelical-“Reformed” movements are so adamantly opposed to Christian Nationalism as existing among White people is because they hate the notion of Christ ruling. Face it, at the end of the day all Christian Nationalism is, is the idea that Christ’s sovereignty over the nations — nation by nation — is a reality to which all nations (including White nations) should submit. This attitude of hating the idea (whether admitted or not) that Christ should rule all the nations (See Psalm 2) in my estimation is an example of how bad theology (in this case eschatology) hurts people. It is, at least in part, because people embrace premillennialism and amillennialism (R2K) that they so adamantly are opposed to Christian Nationalism. Premillennialism and Amillennialism, unlike Postmillennialism, do not believe that Christ will be victorious over the nations in space and time and so in a piece of self-fulfilled prophecy on their part they are opposed to what they believe should not and can not happen. Their eschatology tells them that all will end in blood, smoke, and ruin, and the idea that Christ should and shall rule the nations with a rod of iron overturns all their cherished eschatology.

Unfortunately, it is simply the case that most popular eschatologies find it to be a nightmare scenario that finds Christ being triumphant over the nations and in that triumph ruling them. Then when that prospect is combined with the idea that White nations might one day once again be ruled by a vibrant and vigorous Christianity … well, it is enough to make a WOKE person despair.
