Protest
There is only one protest theatre described in the Bible. The people of God are never encouraged to protest before men, but continually, God invites us to protest to heaven. If you want to see change that lasts, if you want to see real change, spend your time protesting to heaven.
That is what David did...and it worked... David led Israel to cry out day and night to God, because every other god is an idol, and any leader who doesn't know strength comes from crying out to God is leading from a false reality. People that encourage you to protest, even peacefully, elected officials, don't believe Jesus is really coming. The trouble is happening because Jesus is coming.
Luke 18:6Then the Lord said, “Hear what the unjust judge said.
7“And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them?
8“I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?”
Psalm 90:13Return, O LORD!
How long?
And have compassion on Your servants.
14Oh, satisfy us early with Your mercy,
That we may rejoice and be glad all our days!
The spirit of Antichrist forces believers to ask of man what only God can do.
Daniel 6:7“All the governors of the kingdom, the administrators and satraps, the counselors and advisors, have consulted together to establish a royal statute and to make a firm decree, that whoever petitions any god or man for thirty days, except you, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions.
8“Now, O king, establish the decree and sign the writing, so that it cannot be changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which does not alter.”
9Therefore King Darius signed the written decree.
We need the Prince of Peace...we need God to avenge. You don't want to win without Jesus....because you'll still lose. Even many Pastors are encouraging believers to protest and unite around a desire that is less than Jesus. Don't fall for it. Change will come with Jesus. That is why he said to pray "You're Kingdom Come"... even as that kingdom comes, many will rebel and false teachers WILL rise up. This was Jesus' MAIN warning about the end times... do not be deceived:
Matthew 24:24“For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.
25“See, I have told you beforehand.
Do you know what to look for? Do you know about false unity? It's is all over the place right now. True unity will be found in the Tabernacle of David....and nowhere else:
Acts 15:13And after they had become silent, James answered, saying, “Men and brethren, listen to me:
14“Simon has declared how God at the first visited the Gentiles to take out of them a people for His name.
15“And with this the words of the prophets agree, just as it is written:
16‘After this I will return
And will rebuild the tabernacle of David, which has fallen down;
I will rebuild its ruins,
And I will set it up;
17So that the rest of mankind may seek the LORD,
Even all the Gentiles who are called by My name,
Says the LORD who does all these things.’
Matthew 24:9“Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake.
10“And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another.
11“Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many.
12“And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.
13“But he who endures to the end shall be saved.
14“And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.
