My Thoughts on Mamdani. It’s Not What You Might Think.

The current state of the United States, marked by recent election results and shifts in cultural values, demands urgent spiritual and political discernment from believers. This environment, coupled with existing theological discussions regarding the end times [i], the failure of socialist systems [k], and the necessity of spiritual endurance [j], signals a critical moment for the American Church.

1. The Call for Political and Spiritual Discernment

It is imperative to ask the question: What is going on in light of recent elections throughout the United States? These events will directly affect the Christian community and the nation, challenging those who previously claimed that “As Christians I don’t get involved in politics”.

The necessity of engagement stems from the understanding that God offers mankind the choice of salvation and that both angels and Adam and Eve were created with free moral agency [i]. Therefore, the path of the nation—whether towards capitalist success that funds global missions [k] or towards societal breakdown—is directly influenced by human decisions and spiritual obedience [1, k].

The current political and cultural pressures require believers to draw a line regarding compromise, particularly concerning issues like compelled speech or pronoun usage [k].

2. Assessing National Compromise and Forgetfulness

A significant concern highlighted is the nation’s failure to adhere to the post-9/11 motto, “never forget”. The United States has been attacked by Islamic jihadists, targeting the epicenter of global commerce (World Trade Center) and military power (the Pentagon). Yet, the nation is accused of intentionally forgetting this history.

Shifts in Political and Moral Leadership

Recent political shifts reveal concerning alignments:

• New York City is now governed by a mayor who is a socialist Democrat Muslim and who has endorsed jihad.
• This leadership, rising in a global commerce epicenter, is viewed not as a coincidence but potentially as God’s plan unfolding upon a Christ-rejecting nation. The Hebrew language, notably, contains no word for coincidence.

Furthermore, the nation has increasingly “offended the God of heaven” by rejecting Him and accelerating practices like abortion. The distribution of the “day after pill” has led to more abortions than ever, a policy put in place by President Joe Biden and not stopped by Donald Trump.

The Rising Influence of Ideologies

The increasing influence of certain groups suggests that those who attacked the nation in 2001 are now “advancing” and “increasing”. The source warns that Islam is probably becoming the new religion of America due to the apathy of Christians.

This threat mirrors historical patterns where challenging ideologies have sought to dismantle established Christian and economic structures:

• Communist and socialist ideologies deliberately vilify history to usher in a new era [k].
• Historically, Islam has been willing to ally with socialists to achieve the common destruction of Christianity and capitalism [k].
