The Word spoken at Creation
The Captain of His people’s Salvation
The Promised blessings unto the Nations
Our Elder Brother

The Body and Blood as Bread and Wine
Very Man and very Divine
Of Mary’s Seed and David’s line
The Lamb of God

He who would crush the Serpent’s Head
He who would bring life from the Dead
The Warrior who would go on Ahead
The Great High Priest

Giver of Meaning and Quencher of Thirst
New Wine means old wine-skins Burst
The first shall be last and the last shall be first
Our Propitiation and Mercy Seat

A Warrior who demands surrender of all
Adam’s successor, reverse of the fall
Those who come, are those who He calls
The Great High King

We walk now in terms of His Victory
No surrender for those with eyes now to see
His Knowledge shall cover from sea unto sea
His Present Kingdom shall come

A nameless man, amid the crowd
That thronged the daily mart,
Let fall a word of hope and love,
Unstudied from the heart,
A whisper on the tumult thrown,
A transitory breath,
It raised a brother from the dust,
It saved a soul from death.
O germ! O fount! O word of love!
O thought at random cast!
Ye were but little at the first,
But mighty at the last.

So when upon life’s thoroughfare
Measure your words well
In your random words lives may be saved
Or lives consigned to Hell
The impact of our spoken thoughts
Even in the shadows said
May be life to the starving soul
Or a man’s eternal bread
There are no words that cannot cut
Or bind the bleeding wound
No words that fall as neutral
Either as blessing or with cruelty impugn

In 1992 Francis Fukuyama wrote “The End of History and the Last Man,” which was warmly received by those who were practitioners of the Enlightenment birthed Political Liberal Democratic worldview. Fukuyama believed that with the dissolution of the former Soviet Union and its satellite nations that mankind at arrived at “not just … the passing of a particular period of post-war history, but the end of history as such: That is, the end-point of mankind’s ideological evolution and the universalization of Western liberal democracy as the final form of human government”. So, with the fall of the Berlin Wall the World went all NWO Tower of Babel believing that with the fall of the USSR a Democratic Liberal uni-polar world had arrived and we could now move into the “Age of Aquarius.” However a funny thing happened on the way to Liberal Nirvana,

1.) With 9-11 we learned that not everyone shared the West’s joy over the prospect of Global Utopia. It seems that there were peoples in the world who weren’t p The End of History and the Last Man (1992), by Francis Fukuyama, is a political book of philosophy which proposes that with the ascendancy of Western liberal democracy – occurred after the Cold War (1945–1991) and the dissolution of the Soviet Union (1991) – humanity had reached “not just … the passing of a particular period of post-war history, but the end of history as such: That is, the end-point of mankind’s ideological evolution and the universalization of Western liberal democracy as the final form of human government”.

1.) With 9-11 we learned that not everyone shared the West’s joy over the prospect of Global Utopia. It seems that not all peoples were popping champagne corks over the prospect of America being the carrier of Global Empire.

2.) The Global economic meltdown of 2008 made people realize that the planned NWO Babel was not impervious to economic bullets. We learned that with the interconnected finacialization of global markets that a sniffle in New York was a sneeze in Tokyo and fever in Beijing. Suddenly people began to re-think about the wisdom of the global internationalists.

3.) 2015 taught us that the NWO Utopia intended to import the third world into the first world. Suddenly more than a few people started saying, “I liked being uniquely White, European, and Christian.” The shine was off of Nirvana.

4.) In 2016 the Globalist were given notice with the BREXIT vote in Britain. A majority of the British voters are tired of Britain being filled with non-Brits. A majority of the British voters were tired of being ruled by unknown Globalist apparatchiks from Brussels. The British told the world that they Imagined a world with countries.

5.) The 2016 US election with the theme of MAGA was a dagger in the heart of Globalism. Since then NAFTA has been rolled back as has the Paris Globalist climate accord. Trump is hardly a perfect Nationalist weapon but he could possibly be promissory of even more Nationalist sentiments to come.

6.) The rise of States joyfully embracing nationalism has shaken the Globalism of the no-border Corporations. The rise of Poland, Hungary, and even to a less extent Russia has put the Global corporatists on notice. Some of the portions of speeches of Hungary’s Prime Minister, Viktor Orban are far better than what the average Conservative Presbyterian laymen hears from the pulpit from his genuine ordained Reformed minister on any given Sunday. As just two examples,

“Christianity does not seek to attain universality through the abolition of nations, but through the preservation of nations.”

Prime Minister –Hungary

Protestantism is one of the fundamental building blocks of modern European democracy and culture. The tradition of five hundred years of the courage of professing one’s faith which today sets the standard for Europe once again. According to the current state of affairs, today it takes courage once again to declare the simple truth that modem European culture, and today’s civic regime owe their very existence to Christianity. Today they do not merely wish to sever our roots on the stage of European politics, but they wish to replace the soil from which the buds of Europe stemmed. We often do not have the courage today to say this. To stand alone in the shadow of death by the stake before the Imperial Diet, to visit people suffering from contagious diseases as the religious leader of a city, or to run the risk of imprisonment or galley slavery for the gospel are acts of bravery which European man today is appalled at the very mention of.

Hungarian Prime Minister
Memorial Synod of the Reformed Church in Hungary

I pray daily that I might, before I die, hear this kind of clarity in Reformed pulpit in America again.

7.) Now with the Wuhan Shake-down we are beginning to see that borders are a real plus. The Globalists have taken a hit and the plans for Nirvana are filed under, “Heaven can wait.”

However, given these realities, no-one should think that the miscreant Globalists are just going to roll over. They won’t. We must continue to fight for a Biblical Nationalism. Perhaps eventually some portions of the Evangelical – Reformed Church will realize the need to return to Biblical Christianity on this matter.

Almost every movie that Hollywood puts out today must depict characters with at least one of the following attributes or must have plot lines that include;

1.) The protagonist and, or the antagonist are divorced, or if not divorced in a major league dysfunctional marriage.

2.) The female is portrayed as dominant, controlling, violent, and, or one-up on men. The female can kick the arse of men 100 pounds heavier and 12 inches taller than her.

3.) The male is portrayed as aloof, feminine, overly sensitive, and /, or cheating.

4.) Somewhere in the family at least one of its immediate members must be a lesbian gay bisexual, or a women’s libber.

5.) Often attributes are mixed in various proportions and even mixed with a touch of schizophrenia as males and females swap roles.

6.) One of the big themes in movies in recent years has been that the Whites have almost tended to disappear from positions of being the idealized hero.

7.) Minorities now play the hero type role. Morgan Freeman is the sage wise man. Will Smith or Wesley Snipes or Denzel Washington types play the tough guy who comes to the rescue.

8.) Whites now play the role of the psychotic villain, or the weak Father, or the abusive husband or the subservient gopher.

9.) Traditional roles that are part of the history of white people are now played by minorities. (Jamie Fox plays “Little John” in Robin Hood. Denzel Washington plays lead role in “Magnificent 7.” Quvenzhané Wallis as “Little Orphan Annie.” Idris Elba as “Heimdall” in the “Thor” series.) I’m waiting for Matt Damon to be cast as Martin Luther King in the next biopic.

10.) Inter-racial marriage or family is pushed as normative. A few examples,

a.) Spiderman; Far From Home
b.) The Shape of Water
c.) Shazam
d.) Yesterday
e.) Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner
f.) The Blind Side
g.) The Kids Are Alright
h.) Crash

All of this is preparing the White people for their displacement in the culture by the noble savage.

Propitiation in Christian theology is the penalty paid by the guilty party as required by the offended party, with the purpose of warding off a just penalty. It has affinities with the pagan idea of “appeasement.” In paganism the irrational and angry gods are kept happy by being offered a virgin as cast into a raging volcano. However, in Christian theology, as opposed to pagan concepts, God requires being propitiated and it is God who both provides and is Himself, in the incarnate God-Man the required propitiation. What God requires in propitiation God provides and pays.

In propitiation the action of the one who propitiates terminates upon the one who is propitiated, and so we say the Son propitiates and the Father is propitiated.

Liberals HATE the idea of propitiation because the doctrine requires the teaching of a Wrathful Deity and the last thing liberals want to preach or teach is a Wrath of God against sin and sinners which can only be quenched by the offering up of a blood sacrifice of atonement in order to turn God’s just wrath away. Liberals earnestly desire to stay away from all notions of “Wrath,” “Blood payment,” and “appeasement.” Liberals instead want to talk about the example of Christ that disciples must follow if they want to be right with God and not the death of Christ which alone can make men right with God.

Propitiation in Christian theology comes from a Greek word group ἱλαστήριον (Hilasterion) which has affinities in translation with the Hebrew word kapporeth, which in the OT means “covering,” and was used for the mercy seat which covered the ark of the covenant.

Exodus 25:²¹ You shall put the mercy seat on top of the ark, and in the ark you shall put the Testimony that I will give you. 

Exodus 30:⁶ And you shall put it before the veil that is before the ark of the Testimony, before the mercy seat that is over the Testimony, where I will meet with you.

This mercy seat covering the ark (where God’s presence was most intimately associate with) was the place where on the day of atonement the High Priest would carry the blood of the spotless sacrifice so as to sprinkle the blood upon the mercy seat covering, thus making proleptic propitiation for God’s people and so providing reconciliation. One note of interest is that this propitiatory blood was sprinkled on the covering of the mercy seat which contained God’s law. The picture thus is that it is only the blood which can cover the just condemnation by the law which otherwise would stand without the blood of propitiation. The blood of the sacrifice covers the law.

Expiation in Christian theology, a closely associated idea with propitiation, is the idea that sin is taken away or removed. If liberals talk at all about the cross it will be in terms of Expiation and never propitiation.

In Biblical Christianity there is a need for both propitiation and expiation. Without propitiation God’s just wrath against sin and sinners remains un-quenched. Without expiation our sin remains present before God. Jesus Christ takes away (expiates) our sins by propitiating the Father.

In Biblical Christianity Jesus Christ is both our propitiation that satisfies God’s justice and our expiation which removes our sin and so gives us peace with God. In the Old Testament this was typologically signified by the two goats on the day of atonement, which together provided one sin offering.

Leviticus 16:5: “And he shall take from the congregation of the children of Israel two kids of the goats as a [singular] sin offering”

The first goat was the Azazel goat of expiation (scapegoat). This goat had the sins of Israel confessed over it and was released into the wilderness away from the people.

Aaron shall lay both his hands on the head of the live goat, confess over it all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions, concerning all their sins, putting them on the head of the goat, and shall send it away into the wilderness by the hand of a suitable man. The goat shall bear on itself all their iniquities to an uninhabited land; and he shall release the goat in the wilderness. (Leviticus 16:21-22)

This was a picture of the sins of God’s people being taken away and removed. That the idea of the necessity of sins needed to be taken away was retained in many older European cultures with the custom of hiring a sin eater. The sin eater would take away the sins of the deceased by consuming food that had been placed upon the chest of the deceased. Symbolically the sin-eater was taking away the deceased sins. The sin-eater was a latter day pagan version of the Azazel goat.

Christ is our Azazel scapegoat. In the words of Isaiah 53:6,

“And the LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all”

The second goat — the goat of propitiation was sacrificed as a sin offering and its blood was sprinkled on the mercy seat. This was a picture of God being propitiated by death and blood.

Then he shall kill the goat of the sin offering, which is for the people, bring its blood inside the veil, do with that blood as he did with the blood of the bull [see verse 14], and sprinkle it on the mercy seat and before the mercy seat. So he shall make atonement [Heb. kaphar; covering, cleansing, or purging] for the Holy Place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions, for all their sins; and so he shall do for the tabernacle of meeting which remains among them in the midst of their uncleanness. . . . And he shall go out to the altar that is before the LORD [the incense altar], and make atonement for it, and shall take some of the blood of the bull and some of the blood of the goat, and put it on the horns of the altar all around. Then he shall sprinkle some of the blood on it with his finger seven times, cleanse it, and consecrate it from the uncleanness of the children of Israel.

Leviticus 16:15-16, 18-19

The book of Hebrews teaches us that all this was both proleptic and tutorial since,

^10:4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.

It was proleptic because inasmuch as this propitiation looked to Christ it had the reality of the fulfillment in it. It was tutorial because it taught there was a promissory fulfillment ahead that gave substantive reality to the typology.

Hebrews 9:12-14 Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption. For if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the unclean, sanctifies for the purifying of the flesh, how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

This idea that Christ is the fulfillment of the OT shadows of the goat of propitiation is one reason why Protestants get so exercised about the Roman Catholic mass. Scripture teaches that the “blood of Christ who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanses our conscience from dead works to serve the living God,” and yet Rome insists that sins can’t be forgiven without a constant re-sacrificing of Christ in the Eucharist preformed by the Priest. The Mass says the Scripture is not true and that Christ as the goat of propitiation,

Hebrews 9:²⁵ once at the end of the ages, has appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself. 

All of this explains why Christianity teaches a hard exclusivity that insists that unless one knows a known Christ one is without God and without hope. The Father’s wrath continues to burn against those outside the circle of propitiation and expiation.

The good news is that Jesus Christ still offers Himself as God’s solution to God’s wrath.
