Hello, dear friends.
Ten days ago the warning was simple. The Democratic Socialists of America are not a political movement, they are a congregation, and private property is an original sin. The state is the church. Politics is the liturgy. Redemption arrives through power rather than grace.
On Tuesday, that faith gained power.
Democrats did not merely win. They swept Senate seats in Kansas, Texas, and South Carolina—places that had not elected one of their kind in generations—and handed both chambers to a party whose activist core now treats socialism as an asset. Progressive and democratic-socialist candidates advanced inside the wave. The organizing force once kept at arm’s length by party professionals has demonstrated it can win where it was assumed it could not. The midterms were not merely a price check on inflation — for a decisive slice of the electorate they were an affirmation of the substitute religion.
“They have set up kings, but not by me: they have made princes, and I knew it not,” (Hosea 8:4).
This verse has aged well.
University-formed cohorts, status-anxious and often lonely, discovered in the left what aimless churches stopped offering: a moral vocabulary, a community of the elect, a narrative in which they occupy the right side of history, and a mechanism for excommunicating dissenters. Historical memory of socialism’s actual record—calculation failures, destroyed incentives, routine coercion, and fresh graves—remains thin precisely where the woke indoctrination was most thorough. As Yuri Bezmenov implied, capture the university, form the ‘congregation’, and the political outcome eventually follows. The election results confirm that the supply chain works.
Displace the Creator and the political project fills the vacuum. Distinctions that Scripture treats as foundational—Creator and creation, male and female, ownership and theft—are mere obstacles to be overcome. “Male and female created he them” remains the clearest statement of the matter (Genesis 1:27). The same cycle that elevated socialist-leaning candidates also elevated men identifying as women into legislative seats. That is not a side issue. It is the consistent application of a Biblephobic worldview that treats creational order itself as the problem. A political faith that replaces the Creator with the collective and treats biblical marriage and private property as heresies is not secular politics. It is the religious impulse emptied of God and poured into power. It is a defining moral issue of our day, and how we pass this test will determine how we pass a day-of rest test. You see, Isaiah’s diagnosis still applies to this hour: “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness” (Isaiah 5:20).
For the better part of the last sixteen months I have argued that the LGBTQ+ project—particularly its transgender vanguard—had absorbed a succession of serious blows and was deliberately lying low, conserving its strength for a comeback (I stated this last Sabbath in the Pacific Northwest). That return is now audible: a primal, almost pagan howl of resurrection rising across the American landscape as the transgender agenda staggers upright, its eyes lit with demonic fire.
Ellen White noted that the worldwide dissemination of the teachings that produced the French Revolution tends to involve the whole world in a similar struggle (Education, p. 228). The university functions as the transmission belt. The political movement supplies the congregation. The state becomes the agent of redemption, and social justice the repair mechanism. Parents who continue to send children to ideologically captured institutions (both in the church and without) continue to feed the machine. Adventist institutions that have already blurred biblical justice with social-justice ideology will face sharper pressure once their ideology has legislative majorities. The invitations extended to socialist politicians before the election now look less like curiosity and more like an early form of alignment.
With those majorities the agenda advances on fiscal, regulatory, and cultural fronts all at once. Religious liberty arguments that once rested on a residual Protestant consensus will meet a more hostile environment. A “love” that requires denial of what a child is, what marriage is, or what ownership of the fruit of one’s labor is does not protect the vulnerable. It protects the adherent from the cost of fidelity to creation order. The apostle’s warning about those who “changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator” remains the most economical description of this exchange (Romans 1:25).
Summary
The midterm results advance a worldview that treats private property as moral failure, creational distinctions (male and female) as optional, and the state as the primary agent of redemption. For born-again Christians this is not mainly a partisan setback. It is a sharper test of whether biblical categories of stewardship, marriage, and the image of God remain non-negotiable, or whether they will be subordinated to cultural approval and political access.
The practical pressure will rise on churches, schools, and individuals who refuse to treat sex as self-defined or property ownership as greed. Compromise will be framed as love; fidelity will be framed as harm. The moral demand is unchanged: for truth and love cannot be separated (2 John 1:3). A “love” that requires denial of what a child is, what marriage is, or what legitimate ownership is protects neither the weak nor the truth.
Conclusion
Political power has shifted.
However, the call to worship the Creator rather than the collective has not. The remnant’s integrity will be measured by whether it continues to name the distinctions Scripture maintains, or quietly absorbs the substitute religion that now holds great authority.
The tsunami has made landfall. The remnant’s choice is not between competing political programs. It is whether to be absorbed into the synthetic faith or to stand where the Three Angels’ Messages place us: calling worship back to the Creator. The midterms simply made the nature of the test more visible. The test itself was never in doubt.
Stay sharp, love God and walk in Truth! God will not forsake us, unless we forsake Him (Hebrews 13:5).
