God razing Tyre, Sidon, Babylon, and Nineveh -- cultural centers of the ancient world -- had great symbolic significance. Make no mistake, He is saying much the same thing to us as He said to them:
Woe to the bloody city, all full of lies and booty— no end to the plunder! ...the countless harlotries of the harlot, graceful and of deadly charms, who betrays nations with her harlotries, and peoples with her charms.
Behold, I am against you, says the Lord of hosts.
-- Nahum 3:1-5, Oracle against Nineveh

What we learned from the Gospel Coalition is the one can be ostensibly Reformed in their theology but completely Marxist in their cultural views.
What we learned from Canon Press is that one can ostensibly theonomist in some cultural views but also completely Jew worshipping on others.
Is our shibboleth really the acceptability of questioning the "Holocaust"? Sounds silly, but idols always are.

We are the opposite of spoiled. Few of us can think beyond the horizon of this life an imagine what we'd like to be doing 800 million years from now.
We underestimate God's gracious gifts by such a long shot that we cannot fathom how He could keep us busy forever.
The key here is your imagination, plus the recognition that God is far more imaginative than you'll ever be.

If rap and pop "music" don't make you physically sick, you need to have your ears checked. It's absolutely disgusting.
Classical music is good not just for the mind but also for the soul.

Thou King of Glory, Christ, of the Most High, Thou co-eternal filial Deity;
Thou who, to save the world's impending doom, Vouchsafst to dwell within a virgin's womb;
Old tyrant Death disarmed, before thee flew The bolts of heaven, and back the foldings drew,
To give access, and make thy faithful way; From God's right hand thy filial beams display.
Thou art to judge the living and the dead; Then spare those souls for whom thy veins have bled.
-- from the Te Deum, Dryder translation

"Nations are nothing but a collection of families. The good order of families depends entirely on keeping up the highest standard of respect for the marriage tie, and on the right training of children."

Collect for the Baptism of Our Lord
Father in heaven, at the baptism of Jesus in the Jordan River You proclaimed Him Your beloved Son and anointed Him with the Holy Spirit. Make all who are baptized in His name faithful in their calling as Your children and inheritors with Him of everlasting life; through the same Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

John Calvin on the Baptism of Our Lord
He received the same baptism with us, in order to assure believers, that they are ingrafted into his body, and that they are "buried with him in baptism," that they may rise to "newness of life".....
The general reason why Christ received baptism was, that he might render full obedience to the Father; and the special reason was, that he might consecrate baptism in his own body, that we might have it in common with him.

Forwarded from Gildas’ Plea
St. Gildas (Gweltaz), a 6th-century British monk and historian, is famed for his work De Excidio et Conquestu Britanniæ (“On the Ruin and Conquest of Britain”). Writing about the Celtic Britons, whom he earnestly pleaded with to repent of their sin, he taught that their subsequent conquest by foreign races / nations (gentes) was a direct result of their persistent sin and denial of his plea.
Such a plea remains deeply relevant, for it would so appear that the British race (gens) is once again facing such a conquest.

Recent thread on 4chan: "You have to live in a country with 100% White atheists or 100% nonwhite Christians. Which would you pick?"
This is akin to the classic, "Can God make a rock so big He can't lift it?" A group of genuine Christians would not tolerate the extermination of Whites. Nor will Whites ever be 100% atheist.
For the record, my answer is that I'd rather live in the all-White country. Just like I'd choose to live with my family were they atheist above random Christian strangers.
And then I would ensure not a one of them remained an atheist. Nations of pagan Whites have converted before. May God do so again, and mercifully quickly.

Trying to convince boomercons of nationalistic policies feels much like how Moses must have felt leading the children of Israel:
Despised for leading them into their only hope of survivial.

First they told the miners and factory workers they weren't being replaced -- just learn to code, bro.
Then they imported 6 gorillion pajeets to code.
This is perhaps the largest scale bait and switch which has ever been pulled.

For your interest, this is an excellent podcast by Stephen Wolfe. A sleight of hand frequently pulled by civic nationalists is to conflate individuals and groups. For instance, we should be "good Samaritans" and help even enemies. All Christian ethno nationalists would agree.
But it does not then follow that, should I aid a wounded illegal immigrant, I shouldn't report him directly to ICE. Don't let the forked tongue civnats trip you up.
