Today my wife and I drove up separate vehicles to Oregon. This is the first of a few trips to get moved up. Straight trip it is less than six hours. When we got close to the border of California and Oregon, there was a large barn along Highway Five, which on its roof read in gigantic lettering, The State of Jefferson. If you aren’t from the Western United States, maybe you haven’t heard of it. I enjoyed seeing those words. I hope for that state. Medford would become part of the new state if it came into being along with part of Northern California.
We stopped for gas in a small town in the mountains, and what stood out to me were, no masks. Masks should feel weird, but I’ve been wearing them so long that now no-masks already felt worse. “What’s with you people?” Lighted signs on almost every overpass encouraged to fight Covid-19. The State of Jefferson has moved on. I could imagine dart boards with Gavin Newsome on them. The gas station attendant wore no mask.
As I waited for the bathroom to open for my first public bathroom usage in three months, I listened to the attendant. He was chatty. On his own, he complained about the state of the nation. Not a single mask. One guy had the Ace Hardware shirt, apparently just finished with work and filling up on his way home. He informed the attendant that Antifa had stopped in Medford today and would be in that little town, two and a half hours away, tomorrow, wreaking havoc. The message was, get ready.
For a few days, Americans have confronted Americans everywhere. The emerging narrative is, we need a president who will bring the country together. Trump has increased division, won the last election by dividing people. Biden brings people together and Trump divides people. People will keep saying that. What is “bringing people together”? How does that happen? It happens by ignoring the differences. Is that what we want as a country?
The left doesn’t want division. They want complete lock-step agreement, like with Hong Kong and China. One media. One education system. One party. Unity. Is more division actually bad?
This country is done with unity. Division is the permanent state. I don’t know how it will end. It would be nice to keep freedom as long as we can. That will require division. The differences are so significant, so deep, that unity isn’t tolerable any more. Unity would mean capitulation.
I’m going to be fine with division. I don’t accept the other side. I”m not looking for common ground. I don’t believe it or trust it. The only alternative I see is some kind of permanent division, two or more separate countries, no more United States. It’s already not united states. I don’t foresee a comeback. It’s going to get worse.
None of what I’m writing here should stop a true Christian, because the New Testament doesn’t depend on politics or a particular system of government. True Christianity will survive the circumstances. The country may not.
Dear Pastor Brandenburg, hope you are doing well and your family too and Church family! Excellent as always, I enjoy your insights two questions if I may? It says you're moving up? Does it mean moving out of CA? And on your word of truth conference page I can't get some of the 2011 Sermons to play for some reason they're not loaded or you can't get them to play audio? If you have any way of fixing it please do there's a few you'll see they don't have the solid color you click on the play arrow or download? Just my 2 cents on what I'm seeing going on with the insanity of the times we live in today, I go to the local Publix to grocery shop and they keep announcing over the PA thank you for following the social distancing and we're all in this together? I don't think so but it's now obvious that the other countries of the world are jumping on the rioting in the USA recently and the world seems to be moving towards the coming antiChrist world ruler systems obviously after the Rapture! The world is seemingly ready for a charismatic ruler at least that's my take on it? Plus the fact that the social media controllers are blocking or banning persons who don't agree with the WHO there's also the problem of the 100 year plan of the United Nations agenda 21 now UN Agenda 2030 which most people in the USA don't see it is taking place has been for a while now and this will lead ultimately to the coming world ruler antiChrist system! The pope is pushing it etc which we know is Par for the course anyway! See Patrick Wood at technocracy.news another amazing thing is this guy Bill Gates and his wife are totally pushing for the vaccination of all the world because he's got the big Pharma patent and he's got the skin Coded hi tech almost mark of the beast type technology for the vaccine for covid 19 etc just some interesting stuff but he's pushing the depopulation of the world whereas I see GOD'S Preserved Words saying the opposite! The world elite Rockefeller plan is totally anti Christ and anti Biblical! Sorry for the long babbling! Thanks for the awesome articles from you and Dr Ross and I've listening to the Sermons from your pillarandground.org and word of truth conferences! May GOD bless you and your family with health love joy peace always in Jesus name amen have a blessed day and week be safe! Here's my push on all texts and social media etc I try to tell people Jesus is coming soon Rapture ready to go or not please don't be left behind get right today while you are still able to do so goodpersontest.com

If you are going to Oregon Robert Sargent is not far away up in Bible Baptist Church Washington Oak Harbor
You'd love these guys too always on about the USA Constitution Founding Fathers Mothers Patriots Liberty Freedom etc tenthamendmentcenter.com they're in CA and FL but they are really good about the USA Constitution! Take care!
Dear Pastor Brandenburg, sorry I guess I never actually addressed the topic but I agree with you of course and I see how society the world is going and as we're under this unprecedented situation we find ourselves in currently, imagine how freaked out or shocked the world is going to be after the Rapture occurs? Maybe they will seem like they will come together in their complete shock and search for answers to where did everybody go? What does GOD'S Preserved Words say the world loves its own? So there will be no real true unity except as you say the Biblical born again believers in Jesus the true Church of Jesus or Christianity as you put it! The world will continue to be waxing worse than ever but never truly be in unity except false unity under the coming world ruler antiChrist system? Hope you are doing well and your family too May GOD bless you and your family with health love joy peace always in Jesus name amen have a blessed day and week be safe! Love always!
Thanks John Mark.
