Constitutional Crisis :: By Bill Wilson

For weeks now, the Democratic Party and Marxist media have been screaming at the top of their lungs that America is in a “Constitutional Crisis” because of Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

They are using the argument that the President is outside of the Constitution because he appointed Musk to head up DOGE, which is not a government agency authorized by Congress. In none of the words they are using do they cite what is a violation of the Constitution.

The media and Democrats are twisting the truth and misleading the American people about Musk’s advisory role with DOGE and the President’s authority to hold government accountable. Maybe they all should study the Constitution.

Article II Section 2 says the President “may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any Subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices,” which seems that he has authority over the actions of executive departments.”

Article II Section 3 charges the President with taking care: “he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed, and shall Commission all the Officers of the United States.” Meaning that the President has authority to uphold the law (which also means he can hold accountability on waste and corruption) and oversee the appointed officers of the country. In short, he is the chief executive officer responsible for running the country.

Article I Section 8 enumerates 18 powers of Congress, ranging from levying taxes to pay the debts, providing for the common defense and general welfare of the United States, borrowing money, regulating commerce, uniform laws, coining money, setting weights and measures standards, to declaring war. In addition, Congress raises the army and navy and provides for militia to execute the laws, suppress insurrections, and repel invasions.

In summary, Congress is to make the laws necessary for domestic tranquility and raise the money needed to provide for the common defense and general welfare. The Constitution does not divest authority to administrative agencies to make laws. An administrative “law” that protects a government agency from being held accountable is neither a law nor is it constitutional.

The President has the duty and the authority to hold his own executive branch accountable, especially when there is waste and corruption.

In January 2014, the media and the Democrats thought Barack Obama brilliant for saying, “I’ve got a pen, and I’ve got a phone” as a means to do what he wanted. Now that Trump is doing the same thing to end waste and corruption, they claim a Constitutional crisis.

In reality, for good or bad, the President has a lot of authority over the executive branch. Courts will start determining the legality of Trump’s accountability, but even the courts are full of corruption. Even “experts” interviewed by Marxist media couldn’t name a Constitutional violation in the DOGE efforts.

Christ said in Matthew 24:4, “Take heed that no man deceive you.”

Don’t believe the media. Study for yourself.

However Positive, God’s Golden Age… :: By Jan Markell

…It Will Not Come About Through Efforts Made In Washington D.C.

If you listen to conservative media—which I do, by the way, and appreciate much of it—we are entering a “golden age.” Those who understand the concept of the Millennial reign of Jesus Christ realize that it is the true golden age. But that is not what the news analysts are referring to!

Their perspective is that the dumpster fire of the previous administration, who thought about evil continually, is in the rearview mirror. Righteous people didn’t think they could be shocked and re-shocked by the debauchery of the left, but each day’s rundown of offenses was worse than the previous. When you have a Romans 1 mentality, you just think evil continually.

The leftist cabal had been drowning in evil, and when voted out of office, they received an appropriate smackdown. But they are by no means on permanent hold. They are licking their wounds. They are plotting and scheming and planning a comeback. But in the meantime, at least in Washington D.C., they have some appropriate chains on, and they have some restrictions.

Hundreds of evil outfits are being shut down through the efforts of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Yes, Elon Musk has troubling aspirations that include brain chips that sound Tribulationesque, and no watcher of the times is ignoring these things.

So, Is God’s End-Time Agenda on Hold?

So, is this a respite? Maybe a reprieve? Has Satan’s agenda been put on hold? Is the rapture now on hold? Do you think that the globalists are going to relax and willingly turn their agenda over to President Donald Trump? Do you think that Klaus Schwab & Associates plan to take a four-year hiatus and go quietly into the night? Do you think that Yuval Noah Harari will fade away because he acknowledged that a Trump victory would be the “end of the global order?”

To all of the above, a resounding no way!

Let’s always remember that God’s agenda never pauses. It is never on hold. If we think He is not acting— that He is not raising the curtain on the last act—it is only because He wants more to be saved. He doesn’t employ stall tactics.

God’s plan of the ages began before time began. It is never early. It is never late. It is always right on time. The “birth pang” markers we are to watch for have not diminished! North Carolina’s hurricane destruction was a record-setter. Los Angeles’ fire destruction was unprecedented in modern history. They were warnings that time is running out.

The Powerbroker’s Goal Is Still One World

I appreciate similar thoughts by author and commentator Jonathan Brentner, who states, “While it might be tempting to think there’s been a pause in the mad rush of events leading up to the start of the Tribulation period, the elite powerbrokers of our world remain busy. They are working behind the scenes to quickly set the stage for when they can openly enslave the world under their domain.”

Brentner additionally says, “It’s tempting to think that way. I have found myself wondering if perhaps there’s been a pause in the parade of events leading to Jesus’ soon appearing. However, two thoughts bring me back to reality.

“First, I remember Jesus’ assertion that the fulfillment of Bible prophecy will happen at the time sovereignly set by the Father (Matthew 24:36; Acts 1:7). God knows the precise time when He will send His Son to get His Bride and bring her to glory. He already took into consideration all that we see happening today when He long ago set the time of our departure from this world.

“Second, I’m aware that a strong undercurrent in world affairs remains, which after the rapture will directly lead to the Antichrist’s covenant with Israel, which will mark the beginning of the seven-year Tribulation for the world. The lawlessness of those who seek to destroy our nation remains on full display.”

Brentner concludes, “So, does that mean that world events are accelerating toward Jesus’ appearing? I prefer to put it this way: the stage-setting for the future one-world government has not ceased or slowed down in any way.”

“In the Last Days, Evil Will Wax Worse and Worse”

Evil never takes a break. It never re-groups. It never gathers in a huddle to plot and scheme. It just keeps charging forward. It says in II Timothy 3:13 that “evil waxes worse and worse.” And it has escalated exponentially since October 7, 2023, when Hamas invaded southern Israel and perpetrated genocide on Israel.

In March, Islamic radicals stormed through Syria, wiping out religious minorities, including Christians. The same is happening in parts of Africa.

Most often, the targets are “people of the book”—Jews and Christians. This is a sure sign that we are not in any kind of “golden age.” The people in Ukraine have no “golden age.” Nor do the targets of Haitian gangs, nor victims of Islamic terror in parts of Europe who believe in open borders.

Further evidence is that following the October 7 slaughter, the world cheered for Hamas. What a perfect illustration of evil being called good (Is. 5:20), of an upside-down world under the sway of the evil one.

God’s Golden Age

We are all thankful for the many actions of the new administration to rein in evil, waste, and corruption! But even better news than this is that God has given us a wonderful promise: Jesus is preparing a place for us and will take us there to be with him forever: “In my Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And when I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. And you know the way where I am going” (John 14:2-4).

After that seven-year time period, we return to a golden age back on earth—the Millennium. It’s not perfection, but it’s good enough to be called a golden age. Kids can play near snakes, and the animal kingdom even loves one another.

So, get excited when there is talk about a coming “golden age,” but keep it in the right context and in its rightful place in prophecy. It doesn’t come about through any efforts in Washington, D.C. Rather, thanks to the Hand of God, in His timing.
