The Christian Military
The Church Militant

Sermon Notes by Pastor Mark Downey

People usually don't associate Jesus as a soldier or even as a military commander, or having anything to do with a warrior class. The reason for this is because of the feminization of Christ from establishment religions representing Baal and, as such, Christ becomes their model for a pious pacifist. The historical Jesus, changed into a long haired wimp then, no longer is a threat to Babylonian-style politics. Most Christians don't regard Christianity as the form and substance of what we generally recognize a military to be. And yet, so many wars have been fought in the name of Christ and so much death because of Christ. The problem is, sometimes men die for another Christ, for false teachings that are interposed upon gullible believers and become the cannon fodder of nefarious ambitions which have nothing to do with the Word.

The purpose for which Christ came was the sacrificial Lamb, but isn't the greatest act of heroism for a soldier on the battlefield, to put his life on the line for somebody else? "He that findeth his life shall lose it and he that loseth his life for My sake shall find it" Mt. 10:39. Christ goes way beyond all the purple hearts that have ever been given. The church's fixation is upon a placid, pastoral image of a nice little woolly lamb. You don't hear too much from the pulpit pimps about the symbolic follow-up of that bloody slaughtered crucifixion of the Lamb of God (John 1:36) returning as the Lion of the tribe of Judah (Rev. 5:5).

Why do I want to portray Christianity militarily? Well, first, because most others don't, and second, because the Bible does. The book of Numbers in the Hebrew language means musters of the militias; it's like a role call of able-bodied men to arm themselves and prepare to fight. We've discussed the dominion mandate and our manifest destiny of the Adamic/Israelite race in previous messages, and this theme runs throughout the scriptures. This perspective of establishing the Kingdom of God upon the face of the earth, cannot be viewed without the element of enforcement, because people will not voluntarily cooperate. Just ask Moses about law enforcement in his wilderness experience.

On a global, international scale, we have all kinds of challenges to a Christian military. From the Medieval Crusades to the present judeo-Christian war against terrorism, these campaigns have always been convoluted and misdirected; in other words . . . unbiblically justified. Yet, through all of these feeble and fickle conflicts, we are reassured by God that He has a purpose of warfare and the battle plan is His. I pointed out several times that false prophets and religious con men operate in this country with impunity and enjoy the free exercise of their theological heresies that were never intended in our Constitution, and certainly not allowed in the Bible. It is much like the Baal priests who held sway over the people prior to Elija resolving the issue at a nearby river. When Isaiah 14:26 prophesied the "purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth", he was talking about the final universal catastrophe of the present Babylonian world system. And this is going to take a military effort of the church militant. Those who preach universal reconciliation and doctrines about devils have got it all wrong, because they don't want to face the reality that Babylon might be one of their friends or family.

The church militant, which goes by many different descriptions such as Hoskins' Vigilantes of Christendom or the much debated 'Phinehas Priesthood' or 'the order of Melchisedac' or even Christian Identity in general, are well aware of the racial propensity for our people to militate against alien influence. That 'breath of life' breathed unto our nostrils by God is what makes us different than all other animals or races. As a result of that spiritual infusion into our core genetics, we have a God given instinct to fulfill God's will.

God said in Jeremiah 51:20 "with thee will I destroy kingdoms, with thee will I break in pieces the nations . . . thou art my battle axe and weapons of war." Does this not suggest militarily engaging an enemy? Does this change in the New Testament? The pulpit pimp can easily torture the scriptures as they try to take the kingdoms of this world by violence and use II Cor. 10:3 "we do not war after the flesh" and Eph. 6:12 "for we wrestle not against flesh and blood" to imply that we do not take the law into our own hands and use force. Unless, of course, we're told by the 501c3 stooges to obey the higher jewish authorities of Romans 13. What are the 3 stooges of the world? Why, it's the executive, legislative and judicial branches of government that have replaced God. "For the lord is our judge, the lord is our lawgiver, the lord is our king, He will save us" Isaiah 33:22. The Lord is our salvation, not Babylon. That's why the great whore, drunken with the blood of the saints will be destroyed by the church militant. It will be those Christians so infused with the Holy Spirit that they will have no qualms in continuing the warfare of Ephesians 6 in context, whereas we do wrestle "against principalities, against powers, rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." Somebody in Christianity is going to fulfill Rev. 18:6-7 "Reward her even as she rewarded you . . . so much torment and sorrow give her."

When II Cor. 10:4 says "the weapons of our warfare are not carnal", it means it's not secular or worldly independent of God. Continuing this verse, "but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds." Don't let anybody tell you this means we don't need guns anymore. If we are dependent on God, the bullet will hit its target. I use guns simply as an example. There are many other weapons at our disposal, like the Word of God, sharper than any two edged sword. Words can kill and the antichrist wordists know that and so they change the military applications of scripture that would do them harm into neutered meaningless interpretations.

The Christian military will be "casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ" II Cor. 10:5. And then, in verse 6 "having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled." The soldiers of Christ and the army of God get their minds right with the Lord before commencing a physical battle. There is a difference between 'vengeance is mine, thus saith the Lord" pertaining to our personal enemies, brethren in whom we are in conflict with and our being ready to avenge the enemies of God whom God has purposed to be destroyed when our house is cleansed and in order. On that day, the Lord of hosts (armies) shall sanction and bless our Christian Israelite forces to "tread down the wicked . . . they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet" Mal. 4:3.

I know there are young men in our Movement who are chomping at the bit to start a RAHOWA, but obviously it's not happening. Why? All I have is an opinion. Perhaps it's not in God's timing yet, for the basic training of His troops is not complete and a cadre of leadership is not established. We don't have the unity necessary for a coordinated strategy. As a consequence of the current divisions, our racial nation is vulnerable to every wind of doctrine and unholy alliances. If we are to prepare and be ready to avenge the wrongs of our society, we must first overcome the aforementioned obstacles to our destined battlefields. We must maintain and occupy the realms of self government in the body politic of our churches before we advance to more complex victories of state government. "

"Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that built it; except the Lord keep the city, the watchmen waketh in vain" Ps. 127:1. I think we should keep in mind that except the Lord recruits and trains His soldiers, the warrior will die in vain. I would probably be vilified in some quarters by saying Bob Mathews' Order was all for naught and has not brought forth the fruits of the Kingdom. Their walk with Christ, or the lack thereof, does not outweigh any accolades of martyrdom or heroism, but does serve as an example of what not to do in the performance of a Christian military unit. They had good intentions, but no discipline.

Christ started His Movement with twelve disciples who were all soldiers of the Cross. Look at what we've got 2000 years later. The veracity of God, the validation of His Word are the things that have come to pass. "The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy" Rev. 19:10. Our future and that of our posterity cannot be exempt from military service. A believer cannot claim conscientious objection. The Bible is a call to arms and the church militant is the venue of execution, and by that, I mean executing the Laws of God. We will get our marching orders and God will send forth judgment unto victory (Mt. 12:20).

There's a new Mel Gibson movie about the Vietnam war called "We Were Soldiers", which as a Nam vet, I find offensive. The story is based on the memoirs of a retired general hired as a technical consultant along with politically correct supervision and cooperation from the DOD. This old general being interviewed on 60 Minutes, as if dispensing the wisdom of Americana said, "hate war, but love the warriors." Do you see how this kind of mentality defuses a biblical holy war and how we're supposed to glorify the gung-ho ho idiots being all they can be in the godless army of the New World Order? There's going to be a new order. It's called the Kingdom of Heaven, and it's going to be brought forth by the Christian military of the church militant.


PART II

Jesus Christ is described as a Lamb and a Lion. This simply means there's a time for peace and a time for war (Eccl. 3:8). There's a balance between love and hate, depending on circumstances. One of the biblical rules of warfare before any shots are fired, is to proclaim peace to your enemy. Deut. 20:10 says "when thou come near a city to fight against it, then proclaim peace unto it." The olive branch of peace that Christ offered to His adversaries was to tell them to repent and be baptized, change their simple ways and cleanse their thinking with the Word; very peaceful, no shots fired. When we are suing for peace, taking godly legal action for a due process and are not in a war mode, we are ambassadors for Christ. "As God is exhorting through us, we implore on behalf of Christ, to be reconciled unto God" (II Cor. 5:20). But here's the kick in the pants to the pacifist pulpit pimp who advocates an unchristian peace at any cost. "If it (a city or an enemy) does not make peace with you (indirectly reconciling with God), but makes war against you, then you shall besiege it. When the Lord gives it into your hand, you shall strike all men in it with the edge of the sword" (Deut. 20:12-13). Why? Because verse 18 says "in order that they may not teach you to do according to all their detestable things which they have done for their gods, so that you would sin against your God. "

Christ understood His obligations to the Law and His purpose. Isn't it funny how some people say, 'you think your religion is the only way', as if this Christian nation is to be a multicultural mixture of differing morals. Christ said to this pharisaical mindset, "think not that I am come to send peace on earth, I came not to send peace, but a sword!" Christ knew the truth He proclaimed, the perfect justice of God would bring conflict, because man would not accept the sovereignty of God. The governments of man vicariously assume the sovereign power of law. The peaceful lamb can quickly transform itself into a lion of war. We are not to be conformed to any other military other than our commander in chief, Jesus Christ. So, we can see that it's a given that there will be resistance to the Way; the way in which White Christians live. Those of our people who become conformists to this world system that excludes God, are in opposition to people like us.

It's been observed that the biggest asset and liability of our race is our kindness and charity, fruits of the Holy Spirit that are taken advantage of by our adversaries. For example, the conspiracy to change the racial makeup of America through an unchecked flood of alien immigration is, in general, a cultural war; an assault against our moral standards by bringing in all their detestable things done for their heathen deities. When our God awakens that part of Israel to protect and defend our way of life, a movement is born. Christian Identity was a response to a divine calling, because there was and still is an imminent danger from antichrist forces bent on destroying us. The enemy has come in the form of a rampant bureaucracy of Babylonian evil found in the churches, political parties, the media etc. The war being leveled against our race has specifically targeted the early pioneers of the Christian Patriot movement. There have been more deaths inflicted on our side than what our side can even imagine. Besides the overt massacres of Ruby Ridge, Waco and many others, there is a much more subtle genocide in operation; everything from vaccinations and fluoridation to chemtrails and food preservatives.

Our Christian demeanor brings forth the fruit of the Holy Spirit and our peaceful, gentle goodness is blind to those that would poison, cripple or kill us. That is why God likens us to sheep and those who do us harm as wolves. What our enemies don't want you to know is that some of the sheep are rams. By the very nature of our race and our God, we have a natural Christian military. It is manifested in the church militant as an innate survival mechanism, because these rams understand their responsibilities. Do you really think Christ, knowing the end from the beginning and the coming conflicts, would send His disciples out into a hostile world unarmed? Of course not! That's why He said in Luke 22:36 that if you've got an empty wallet, sell something and buy a weapon. There will be some bleeding heart judaizer who will try to tell you White boys that that was just a temporary measure which only applied to that time. But then, we also read in Luke 19:27, "but these enemies of mine, who did not want Me to reign over them, bring them here and slay them in My presence." The same effeminate priests of Baal will tell you that this verse means we must wait till the second advent, as if Jesus is on vacation for a couple thousand years. Are we waiting for Jesus or is He our commander in chief, the Chief Shepherd . . . right now? Read with me the indisputable words of Mt. 18:20: "for where two or three are gathered together in my name (or authority), there am I in the midst of them."

The church isn't supposed to be daydreaming, wondering why niggers riot or why African savages today take machetes and slice peaceful White farmers and their families to ribbons in a murderous bloodlust. "Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?" (Ps. 2:1). It's because of bankrupt leadership that becomes so cowardly that it shows itself as ridiculous; "the Lord shall have them in derision." God will speak to those who are guilty of browning America and vex them in His sore displeasure and He will muster the militias of Christian Israel giving the order of Psalms 2:9 "Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron, thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel." If the enemies of God live by the sword or Uzi's, who do you think is going to reciprocate the judgment of God that they will likewise die by the sword? This cause and effect can only be in perpetuity. There's no gap in time from when the scriptures were recorded to the futurist projection of the so-called battle of Armageddon (a phrase not found in the Bible). But our enemies would like you to think so. You're ok as long as a Christian military stays within the four walls of playing church; as long as the hate speech doesn't turn violent. But they've gone way beyond these restrictions with talmudic license.

Did you know that you can be arrested and charged with having a machine gun by simply having a piece of metal on your person? It happened just recently to the C.O. of the Kentucky Militia. Do you suppose God would want that jew or jew lackey who passed this ridiculous legislation to receive a piece of metal in return? Do you think God expects a Christian military to raise the standard against wickedness in high places? A good military is organized for perpetual existence, until such time that it no longer becomes necessary. The Orwellian oxymoron of perpetual war for perpetual peace does not pertain to Christian dogma because once we accomplish our ultimate victory, all enemies of Jesus Christ will have been annihilated forever. How can there be war, when death is swallowed up in victory (I Cor. 15:54); whereas, a jew run communist world would be a perpetual slave planet?

We are now living in a time when God gives us the freedom and opportunity to reveal to our lost kindred, the prophecies of those who destroy us being destroyed themselves: the book of Obadiah, the parable of the wheat and tares, the fall of Mystery Babylon; all of which the church militant culminates in the fulfillment of God's Word. We know that the marriage supper of the Lamb is an eventual union of Christ with His people and that we, as His bride, hath made ourselves ready. Does that mean we're all wearing wedding gowns? No. It means His army is fully trained and prepared for the Great Day of the Lord. Kristolnacht multiplied a million times. You know, all this talk we've been hearing rumors about for years about concentration camps in America and industrial state of the art crematoriums, if it's true, just may be used against those who would have designs for the Christian military.

The vision John saw in Revelation 19:11, "Behold a white horse, and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war." Verse 14 goes on "the armies which were in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, were following Him upon white horses." The beautiful symbolism here is not an equestrian parade coming down from outerspace (heaven), but rather the army of heaven, of God, on earth. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Heaven simply means elevated, a special people unto Himself, above all races that are upon the face of the earth (Deut. 7:6). Continuing in Revelation 19:19, "and I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him that sat on the horse, and against His army." Is this plainly laid out for our edification? There most certainly is a Christian military aligned against an array of other militaries void of God.

White, able bodied, God fearing men need to get it in their minds that being dunked in water, or uttering magic names of God, or observing rituals on the calendar, or blaming a rodent race of jews with a convoluted theology, or spiritualizing everything with a cross eyed, holier-than-thou religiosity will not deliver us from the rubbing fingers of the shylock who, because we are just goyim followers of the resurrected Messiah, will kill us all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

The church militant of Christian Identity is that instrument of righteousness that God is using in a mighty way, forming military units, having fellowship with Christ and unity with one another. As Luke 1:71 puts it "that we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us." May we mature in Christ with the heart of the Lamb and the mind of the Lion that we may face the day of battle with valor and readiness.
