Shadow of the Wolf Messiah, Anti-Christ
Woke: Fake Religion Decimates American Society
A Woke Religion? The
Woke behave as if they're in a religion. First, the term '
Woke' suggests those asleep becoming aware of the "real" spiritual world. So, Paul states in
Ephesians 5:14, "Awake, sleeper, And arise from the dead, And Christ will shine on you." This is Revelation. And there are
Woke sins, punishments, hell, sacraments and salvation. But recall the words, "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world."
James 1:27George Floyd's picture represents not criminality or drug addiction, but racist martyrdom
Woke Sin: ‘Sin' to the
Woke means to be unaware, and therefore mindlessly carrying out senseless acts of cultural ignorance and personal reprobation. In this sense,
Woke is Gnostic -- saving by education, versus faith. As
Michael Vlahos writes, "the Church of Woke is pledged to the destruction of Racism, Patriarchy, and Heteronormativity." So defending trans and minorities while attacking traditional culture are the ‘marching orders' the
Woke carry. That they do so with an angry sense of holy mission which appals many average citizens. A truly oddball aspect of the
Woke is they seem to believe they are on a divine mission, despite typically being secular atheists. Here, one cannot avoid this fact--
Woke own a Cargo Cult approach to the sacred -- by assuming a religious format without any spiritual depth. Assuming the form of priests while bedeviling others. Biblical sin is
deviation from God's will, but
defeated by Christ on the cross.
Woke Punishment: Everyone knows how the
Woke pursue those they dislike.
Woke acolytes are goaded to personally confront rule breakers. Further, attacking via social media, shaming targets into recanting sinful behavior, demanding re-education. But this usually doesn't suffice, since they also attempt bannings from social media, firing from jobs, etc. Since there is no afterlife, all punishments must occur now. Whites will
scapegoat others for approbation, hoping to escape damnation.
Tripp argues since Woke have no expiation -- coverage of sins, that foes must be sacrificed to fulfill this. But biblical punishment, while sometimes during life, normally occurs after death. Daniel writes, "...everyone whose name is found written in the book—will be delivered. Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt."
Daniel 12:1-2
Woke's Misplaced Religious Iconography: George Floyd's picture represents not criminality or drug addiction, but racist martyrdom. Contra, Trump's toxic "Orange Man Bad" reflects the apotheosis of all racism and White oppression. The continual attacks against Trump, since before entering office, portray the
Woke Resistance as the army of a God who doesn't exist dedicated to crusaders against the Neo-Hitler as White Devil. All attacks against Trump are blessed by the universe, requiring no defense, as the FBI, re-tooled for Resistance -- so richly proved. And
Woke Warriors are secular Prophets, blessed, pagan earthly angels investing their love into resisting evil. As
James Woods writes, "Wokeness, I propose, is a form of post-Protestant neopaganism."
James Woods: Woke cannot make biblical or scientific proofs and so resist rationality
Woke Sacraments: The
Woke Church has every accoutrement.
Tripp Parke lists these:
"Well, even without a supernatural element, it has all the trappings of one. It has a core set of beliefs that you cannot question and remain in the tribe with myths that aren't subjected to normal academic scrutiny (the 1619 Project); it has sacred texts (White Fragility), its idea of original sin (being born white and/or male), rituals (including self-flagellation), symbols, heretics (hello, JK Rowling), and de facto priests and prophets to enlighten and then initiate us into this new religion."
James Woods explains how the Woke cannot make biblical or scientific proofs and so resist rationality, claiming it racist White Oppression, etc.
Woke Salvation: Woke are already saved, by definition. Critical Race Theory, cornerstone of
Woke identity, asserts Blacks are permanent victims of whites, opposed since time immemorial.
Whites, as incorrigible racists, are damned. Victims in Marx's Master/Slave paradigm, Blacks need permanent resistance to White hierarchy and racist institutions. Ultimately, since the
Woke worldview lacks a deity, salvation is temporal. The Bible says of salvation, "For God so loved the world, he gave his only Son, so whoever believes in him won't perish but have eternal life."
John 3:16
Progressives have an entire religious worldview, a counterfeit Christianity
Woke Overall Religious Worldview: These Progressives have an entire religious worldview, a counterfeit Christianity inserting deeply into pliable psyches.
Writes Max Funk,
"Wokeism offers everything secularism failed to provide, quickly filling the God-shaped hole in our culture. It offers a version of truth, justice, righteousness, sin, and judgment, providing adherents meaning, with meta-narrative of societal conflict, and struggles for power and redemptive freedom. Tearing down these oppressive power structures helps give purpose to individuals and the collective. These values are solidified in public rituals like sensitivity training or confronting white fragility. There is a strong communal aspect, with adherents feeling part of something greater than themselves. Also inherent in "social progress" is the hypothetical future utopian society liberated from the evils of the current oppressive system. Most of all, however, Wokeism offers what every sinful human heart deeply longs for, and that is moral justification. People believe they are acting justly within the world, and being fair, sometimes they are. But often, all that they are doing is mere posturing, or worse, destructive."
But the Bible describes the entire world as sinful and in need of salvation: "That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness."
2nd Thess 2:12.
History & Woke Religious Triumph: Vlahos astutely compares
US takeover by Woke Marxism with the triumph of Christianity over Roman paganism. Both had three generations to discredit their foes and then beat down and banished them. He writes,
"Moreover, the bishops knew, as do Wokeists, that true enforcement cannot be achieved through sanction and punishment alone. True orthodoxy can be secured only through absolute erasure of the entire historical memory of civilization itself—so that resistance has no anchor."
God's ability to take the spiritually dead and revive them
So the Marxist Woke seek what they always do,
a rewriting of history. Father of these claims is
Italian Marxist Antonio Gramsci, who wrote from prison, "socialism is precisely the religion that must overwhelm Christianity."
Joshua Mitchel states America is undergoing a Fourth Great Awakening by the Woke Revolution, which
Max Funk compares to a tidal wave surging through every Western culture --
Schmitz' Great Awokening. But the Bible claims
all history is headed towards a divine culmination and judgment for all.
Failed Religion Fueled Woke Cult: Why have so many embraced the
Woke cult? It's due to the fall of traditional Protestantism which left a God-shaped hole behind. Joseph Bottum calls Wokeism a pseudo-religion in,
Wokeness: old religion in a new bottle, arguing declining Christianity fuelled identity politics' rise. Could the
Woke religion be Satan's latest ploy? The way forward for America is to twofold. First, we must oppose individual instances of
Woke Fascism, like Cancel culture. And also draft laws against the movement, such as statutes against public school
Woke instruction, as DeSantis just did in Florida. But there is only one possible survival for the US. Throwing off the chains of this pseudo-religious cult and returning home like the
Prodigal Son. Ezekiel's vision of a valley of dry bones which came back to life represents God's ability to take the spiritually dead and revive them (
Ezekiel 47). If this happens, America can return to the one true religion and find God's favor, once again.
