The Rulers We Deserve

A Call to Repentance, Reformation, and Household Dominion

By Lord Redbeard


I. A Nation in Decline Reaps What It Has Sown

Scripture does not stutter: we are governed not merely by what we choose, but by what we deserve. We are ruled in accordance with our collective obedience or rebellion. God is not mocked—for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap (Galatians 6:7). The condition of civil government in a nation is a spiritual thermometer of the people’s moral temperature. We are not victims of tyranny—we are under judgment. And the state of modern America proves it without question.

We are plagued by corruption in high places because we have allowed corruption in our hearts. Our laws reflect our idols. Our media mirrors our lusts. Our educational system teaches our rebellion. Our entertainment celebrates our abominations. And our rulers—confused, effeminate, godless, or greedy—are a visible judgment from God upon a people who have cast off His Word.

This is not unprecedented. In Isaiah 3, the Lord describes the condition of Judah just before He brings them into judgment. The people have forsaken His commandments. They boast in sin. They neglect the poor. They glorify wealth, vanity, and status. And what is God’s response? He removes the stabilizing structures of society.

“And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them… As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them.”
— Isaiah 3:4, 12 KJV

The result is predictable: disorder, division, and eventual destruction. When a nation abandons righteousness, God does not simply allow decline—He ordains it as punishment. And in His justice, He gives the people the rulers they deserve.


II. When God Judges a Nation, He Starts with Leadership

God does not need to destroy a nation with fire from heaven. One of His most terrifying judgments is the removal of wise and righteous leadership. He withdraws His hand of protection and guidance, and in their place rise up fools, children, and women—those unfit to rule.

“Behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the staff… the mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet… the captain of fifty, and the honourable man…”
— Isaiah 3:1-3 KJV

These are not merely unfortunate political developments. These are divine removals. God strips a rebellious nation of its protectors and providers. Consider what has happened in modern America:

  • Our mighty men are removed from the battlefield. Our military is demoralized, not feared. Once feared by our enemies, it is now mocked, weakened by social engineering and political agendas.
  • Our judges are blind. They no longer uphold God’s justice but rewrite law to accommodate wickedness.
  • Our prophets preach smooth lies. Modern pastors no longer cry out against sin but market feel-good spirituality to itching ears.
  • Our craftsmen are few. Tradesmen, artisans, and men of skill have been replaced by consumers and office drones. Masculine labor is despised.
  • Our leaders are childish, emotional, and unpredictable. Politics is theater. Governance is chaos. Women and children now rule over us—and the people cheer.

This is judgment. Not political misfortune. Judgment.

God gives a nation leaders who reflect the hearts of the people. We have demanded comfort over courage, peace over principle, prosperity over piety. And now we reap the bitter harvest. We asked for Caesar, and we got clowns. We demanded equality, and we were given incompetence.

We are ruled by our own reflections. And until we repent, we will be ruled by ruin.


III. The Faces of Our Rebellion Are Public and Proud

The collapse of righteous leadership is not the root—it is the fruit. The root is national rebellion. And in our time, it is not a hidden rebellion. It is public, proud, and paraded.

“The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul!”
— Isaiah 3:9 KJV

Once, sin brought shame. Now, it brings applause. Our culture celebrates abortion as a human right, sodomy as virtue, feminism as freedom, and rebellion as self-expression. We call evil good and good evil. We have exchanged God’s moral order for moral anarchy.

Our parades celebrate abomination. Our schools teach confusion. Our corporations reward perversion. And the church, instead of resisting, has largely joined the rebellion.

The Lord says, “Woe unto their soul!”—because the destruction they deserve is the destruction they will get.

This is why the righteous suffer alongside the wicked in times of judgment. Because the people, as a whole, are lawless. The covenant has been broken. And even among God’s people, repentance is rare. We lament wicked rulers, but we tolerate wickedness in our homes. We weep over ungodly laws, but we permit ungodly media, ungodly friendships, ungodly habits.

We are not victims of political misfortune. We are under righteous wrath.


IV. The Fall of Feminine Culture and the Curse of Female Rule

Isaiah speaks not only to the men of Judah, but to the women—and he does not mince words.

“Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes… Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head.”
— Isaiah 3:16-17 KJV

Rarely does God speak judgment directly to the women. But when He does, it is because their influence has become culturally destructive. The women of Judah, like the women of modern America, are steeped in vanity, seduction, consumerism, and self-worship. They lead their families, not toward God, but toward destruction.

This is not about voting or office-holding—it is about influence. Women, by nature, shape culture through fashion, tone, language, and domestic presence. When that influence becomes rebellious and sensual, the entire society follows. Just look at today:

  • Women flaunt their nakedness on social media and call it empowerment.
  • Feminists reject marriage, children, and submission to pursue careers, fame, and fornication.
  • Mothers abandon their homes for vanity, chasing influence rather than godly offspring.
  • Immodesty is a billion-dollar industry.
  • Men have become spineless, enslaved to the approval of harlots.

And the judgment?

“Women rule over them.” — Isaiah 3:12

This is not progress. It is judgment. The rise of female leadership in society is a sign that the men have abdicated, and God has cursed the land. It is not a blessing to have a female ruler—it is a disgrace to the men.

We must return to God’s order: men as heads, women as helpmeets, children as disciples. Until then, disorder will increase. And judgment will not relent.

V. What Then Shall the Righteous Do?

In the midst of judgment, God does not leave the faithful without hope.

“Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.” — Isaiah 3:10 KJV

Even as the nation collapses, the righteous have a sure promise: they will be preserved. Their homes may be surrounded by chaos, but inside their walls there is peace. Their barns may not overflow, but their children will be taught of the Lord. Their influence may not be on television, but their legacy will endure for generations.

Righteousness always bears fruit. Always.

The faithful remnant must not lose heart. In times of judgment, they are not called to despair, but to build—to plant trees for their grandchildren, to dig deep wells of Scripture and truth, to labor in unseen places that the Lord might be glorified and future generations secured.

The patriarch must not concern himself with the presidency more than with his own table. The wife must not long for celebrity when she has been given the sacred task of shaping immortal souls. The children must not seek worldly popularity, but wisdom and holiness.

Faithfulness is resistance. Obedience is rebellion against the world. In an age of collapse, righteousness is a weapon.


VI. The Household: The Frontline of Resistance

The nation will not be saved by elections, protests, or political revolutions. It will be saved—if it is to be saved at all—by the reformation of households.

The home is where dominion begins. Before there can be righteous rulers in the land, there must be righteous rulers in the home. God is not looking for better ballots; He is looking for better fathers.

“Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it.” — Psalm 127:1

If we desire national restoration, we must return to God’s household model:

  • The father is the head: provider, protector, and priest. He governs with strength and wisdom.
  • The wives submit joyfully, serve diligently, and raise the next generation with excellence and virtue.
  • The children are trained in obedience, industry, worship, and responsibility.
  • The home is a miniature kingdom—a domain of righteousness, structure, and sacred order.

This is why feminism and statism have worked so hard to destroy the household. They know what many Christians have forgotten: he who controls the family controls the future.

It is time for fathers to rise again. Start by reclaiming what is yours:

  • Remove your children from government schools.
  • Lead family worship daily.
  • Take dominion through property, business, and legacy.
  • Train your sons to lead and your daughters to build.
  • Stop outsourcing what God commanded you to do.

The nation will not change until the men of God reclaim headship in their homes.


VII. What About the Government? What About Reform?

It is right to grieve over the condition of our nation. It is right to mourn the corruption, the wicked laws, the godless judges, the unjust rulers. But we must not be deceived into thinking that government reform can save us.

God controls rulers.

“By Me kings reign, and princes decree justice.” — Proverbs 8:15
“He removeth kings, and setteth up kings.” — Daniel 2:21

If we want better government, we must become better people. If we want righteous rulers, we must raise them.

When Israel demanded a king, God gave them one—not as a blessing, but as a judgment.

“They have not rejected thee, but they have rejected Me, that I should not reign over them.” — 1 Samuel 8:7

We must not ask for righteous government while rejecting God’s reign in our homes, churches, and communities. The irony is deep: we demand Christian presidents while refusing to rule our own children. We pray for godly laws while tolerating ungodliness in our own hearts.

God is not mocked. If we will not submit to His rule, He will give us tyrants. And until we repent, we will be ruled by the very sins we celebrated.


VIII. Return to God, Rebuild the Nation

The path back is not easy, but it is clear.

“If My people, which are called by My name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways…” — 2 Chronicles 7:14

This is not a sentimental verse—it is a divine blueprint.

  • Humble yourselves — Reject pride, self-righteousness, and entitlement.
  • Pray — Not weak, emotional platitudes, but strong, reverent, Scripture-saturated prayer.
  • Seek His face — Return to His Word, His law, His will.
  • Turn from wicked ways — Repent. Break off your sins. Cleanse your house. Discipline your family.

Then—and only then—will He hear, forgive, and heal.

This means turning away from the idols of convenience. No more excuses. No more deflection. Reformation is costly. Repentance is painful. But restoration is impossible without them.

We must rebuild the nation like Nehemiah rebuilt the wall:

  1. Each family builds their section.
  2. Each man labors with a sword on his side.
  3. The people pray while they work.

This is how Jerusalem was rebuilt. This is how we must rebuild: family by family, household by household.


IX. Conclusion: We Deserve Our Rulers—But We Can Raise Up Better Ones

We deserve the rulers we have. We deserve godless policies, unjust courts, perverse education, and incompetent officials. We deserve female rule, effeminate pastors, and degenerate leaders. Why? Because we abandoned the covenant. We rejected the King of Kings. We made gods of ourselves and idols of our pleasures.

But all is not lost.

God is still on His throne. His Word is still true. His promises still stand.

“And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations.” — Isaiah 58:12

You can begin today. Right now. Reclaim your household. Restore the fear of the Lord. Train your children in righteousness. Multiply. Establish dominion. Build. Teach. Reform.

And the day will come when God will raise up men of courage, wisdom, and justice—because they were formed by fathers who feared the Lord and ruled well.

Let it begin with you.
Let it begin with your home.
Let the patriarchs rise.

Is God a Globalist or a Nationalist?

Is God a Globalist or a Nationalist? I’m sure most modern Churches and Christians would contend that he is a Globalist, that he does not see race/creed/nation/culture etc. If so then why did he create these defining characteristics?

If you have children, family or even close relatives that live with you, it’s fair to assume you love them more than you love relatives other non-related families.

That doesn’t mean you hate other families, does it? You can have “empathy, compassion, and understanding” for your friends, neighbors and even total strangers without having them live in your house.

That’s because it’s your house. You may let people come in from time to time, as guests, or maybe even for an extended stay if they are suffering in some way, you may even allow them to join your family on a long term basis provided certain terms are set and boundaries established. But it is still your house, not theirs.

It’s the same with nations. Nations are people, not governments, just as a family is the people of the household, not the household rules. A Nation is your “Extended” family.  The word Nation is literally in reference to the nationality of it’s people.

A nation like America can have “empathy, compassion, and understanding” for other nations, particularly if those nations are suffering in some way, but the “house” still belongs to the Americans. “Nationalism” requires no hatred for other nations. It just clarifies who owns the house. The Indians own India, the Japanese own Japan, the Africans own Africa and the Americans own America.

But God is certainly no globalist. Surely He loves all the people of the globe, for He created them all. He loves the genuine diversity that exists in the variety of cultures, languages, and skin colors that He created to be different on purpose. But in terms of how those many diverse nations relate to each other, God is in fact a nationalist.

That does not mean we can sign God up for our political parties or pet projects. Far from it. It merely means from beginning to end, His Word speaks of the nations as nations, calls them to serve Him as nations, sets their borders, provides for the protection of those borders, and for the ultimate healing of those nations.

He clearly acts to disrupt globalist projects like the Tower of Babel, where the nations tried to live together in a globalist/multicultural empire. Against this globalist attempt, God scattered them into distinct nations with their own distinct cultures and languages.

Do we think ourselves wiser than God? He says explicitly in the Bible that He created diversity out of unity (the nations from the blood of one man), and that He sets the boundaries or borders where they are to live. Why? So that they will be better able to seek after Him and find Him:

“God…has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their pre-appointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings, so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us….” (Acts 17:26–27)

Globalism/multiculturalism is clearly not God’s plan, insisting that all these different people live together in the same house (nation), thus destroying the beauty of all their individual nations, cultures and amazing diversity. The result is the opposite of what God said would happen when we respect national borders: the nations find it much harder to seek and find God.

So this begs the question, what nationality is America? we are ethnically, linguistically, historically, culturally, and religiously European. For the purposes of this writing Jesus was from Israel, to be sure, which is not in Europe. He is not a European (nor is He African). He is what most would call Middle Eastern. He is an Israelite, a son of David and Abraham. We are also a Christian Nation. the New Testament has a surprisingly European foundation. It’s written, not in Hebrew, but in a European language (Greek). The Son of God appeared in the midst of a European empire, and the Gospel was carried on European roads and in European ships. Paul was redirected from further eastward missionary activity by a vision of a European man. And the one man who wrote more of the New Testament than any other was Luke, a European.


These facts give us no cause to boast, but rather to be humble and thankful. Historically, so far, “the faith is Europe, and Europe is the faith,” as Hilaire Belloc put it. We should harbor no animosity toward people who look, live, or speak differently than us. We should pray for peace among all the nations, and for the love and truth of Christ to bring healing to every people on the face of the earth. We should treasure the unique cultures of every people and want them to be protected and preserved as God created them.

But again, our primary focus should be our own people and our own nation, as that is our duty to our families, children, neighbors and to God.

Therefore, Globalism/Multiculturalism, among other things, hinders the work of the Great Commission and proves that God is in fact a Nationalist!

As Followers Of Christ Should We Be Celebrating Halloween?

Should Christians Celebrate Halloween?

Halloween is celebrated by millions of people as a fun time for kids, putting on costumes, and going door-to-door to get candy. But it is also known as a time of witches, ghouls, goblins, and ghosts. On one hand, some see Halloween as a harmless time of fun and on the other, a ghastly and demonically inspired night to be avoided. I think we should look to the origin of the holiday and more importantly the Bible for the answer. As Christians, there is a lot of debate on whether or not we should participate in Halloween. Is it alright to go trick-or-treating? Can we dress our kids up in costumes on that day? If we do any of this, are we celebrating an evil holiday? Halloween, no matter how commercialized, has completely pagan origins. As innocent as it may seem to some, it is not something to be taken lightly. Christians tend to have various ways to celebrate Halloween. For some, it means having an “alternative” Harvest Party such as “Trunk or Treat” For others, it is staying away from the ghosts, witches, goblins, etc., and wearing innocuous costumes, e.g., little princesses, clowns, cowboys, super-heroes, etc.  

The Origin of Halloween:

The idea of observing October 31st as a holiday originated with the ancient Celtic priests, called “Druids”, around 300 B.C. The Druids lived in the area between Great Britain and Germany. Their new year began on November 1st, so October 31st was set aside to worship their god, Samhain, the god of the dead. So October 31st was the Celtic New Year’s Eve, the time for their Festival of Death. The Druids believed that Samhain gathered all the souls of the past year’s dead on this night. These souls had been confined to the bodies of various animals to atone for their sins. Animal sacrifices and even human sacrifices were carried out , usually in forests. This practice was observed until around 61 A.D. when it was outlawed by the Romans. However, some animal sacrifices were still practiced as late as 400 A.D. Halloween is filled with all sorts of pagan characters and customs that Christians should completely avoid. The black cat, for example, was believed by the Druids to be evil spirit friends of witches, and even witches themselves. These cats were often kept in wicker cages and burned in animal sacrifices. Witches are worshipers of Satan, and they are an abomination to God (Exo. 22:18; Deu. 18:10-11). Why would a God-fearing Christian want to dress-up their child like something that God hates? Scary masks were worn by the Celts to scare away evil spirits. The jack-o-lantern was used for the same purpose, although a turnip was originally used. What most people think of as “ghosts” are not the spirits of dead people, but rather EVIL spirits which we are warned about in the Bible (Lev. 19:31; 20:27; II Kgs. 23:24; Mat. 10:1; Mar. 3:11; Acts 8:7; Rev. 16:13). Why would a Christian want to decorate their home with such wickedness? Do you really think God want you to dress your child up like an evil spirit? Even the orange and black colors of Halloween have a wicked origin. At the Druid Festival of Death for Samhain huge bon fires were used for offering human and animal sacrifices. So the colors of the night were orange flames glowing in the dark. Trick-or-treating finds it’s origin in the custom of peasants going house to house begging for money to purchase necessities for a feast for Muck Olla, the Druid sun god. A blessing was promised to generous givers, while threats were often made to those who were stingy. Even more disturbing is apple bobbing this comes from the Roman festival of Pomona, the goddess of fruit and trees. This festival was merged with the festival of Samhain after Rome conquered Britain. In honor of Samhain, subjects were forced to bob for apples in boiling hot water. Those who lived through this ordeal were set free. In most witchcraft covens, the closing ritual includes eating an apple or engaging in fertility rites. In witchcraft, eating an apple is symbolic of bringing life. The practice of bobbing for apples brings together two pagan traditions: divination and the fertility ritual. The Druids taught that the spirit world was closer to the earth on this night than at any other time, and that “the gods” would even appear on this night to play tricks on people. Pope Bonoface III, in the seventh century, set aside May 13th as “All Saints Day” or “All Hallows Day” as a time for Roman Catholics to honor all known dead saints. In the eighth century, Pope Gregory III moved the date to November 1st which conveniently merged “All Hallows Day” and “All Hallows Eve” with the Celtic New Year and the Festival of Samhain. This custom wasn’t much observed in America until the 1840’s when large numbers of immigrants came over from Ireland and Scotland.  

What Does The Bible Say About Halloween and Pagan Celebrations?

First off the Bible tells us to “Prove all things; hold fast that which is good “ (1 Thessalonians 5:21) so do you think we can “Prove” Halloween is “Good” in the sight of God? If Jesus were here today do you think he would take all the disciples out Trick-or-treating?  

Scripture does not refer directly to Halloween, but it does give us some principles on which we can make a decision. In Old Testament , witchcraft was a crime punishable by death (Exodus 22:18; Leviticus 19:31; 20:6, 27). The New Testament teaching about the occult is clear. Acts 8:9-24, the story of Simon, shows that occultism and Christianity don’t mix. The account of Elymas the sorcerer in Acts 13:6-11 reveals that sorcery is violently opposed to Christianity. Paul called Elymas a child of the devil, an enemy of righteousness and a perverter of the ways of God. In Acts 16, at Philippi, a fortune-telling girl lost her demon powers when the evil spirit was cast out by Paul. The interesting matter here is that Paul refused to allow even good statements to come from a demon-influenced person. Acts 19 shows new converts who have abruptly broken with their former occultism by confessing, showing their evil deeds, bringing their magic paraphernalia, and burning it before everyone (Acts 19:19).  

Spread to North America:

North American almanacs of the late 18th and early 19th century give no indication that Halloween was celebrated here. The Puritans of New England, for example, maintained strong opposition to Halloween and it was not until the mass Irish and Scottish immigration during the 19th century that it was brought to North America in earnest. Confined to the immigrant communities during the mid-19th century, it was gradually assimilated into mainstream society and by the first decade of the 20th century it was unfortunately being celebrated coast to coast by people of all social, racial and religious backgrounds.
