Historically speaking both terms, brown shirts and lukewarm Christianity, have been used to describe a very dark period in the past with an astonishing relevance for today. The last Church to be described in the Book of Revelation had a very unique problem. They were neither hot nor cold, so Jesus Christ described them as being lukewarm. These end-time Christians held tightly to their professed religious doctrines but at the same time embraced many of the teachings from the world, which took precedence. These worldly beliefs could easily sway their behavior towards immorality willing to strike out violently at anyone who would disagree. In their hearts, they believed that they were Christians following the chosen path but in their actions they believed that they were on a higher path toward bringing renewal to a world or country that had lost its way. The match that lit the fire was believing that they were the only ones who possessed the truth, believing that everyone else must be false prophets or working for the enemy. This attitude of always being correct, even with known conspiracy theories, not only divides a nation, but it sends a very sharp blade right down the very heart of Christianity.
Now, who are these brown shirts? We need to take a trip back in time when a European nation was in deep trouble financially with many teetering on the edge of absolute poverty. Many fingers were being pointed at one another, but no one had a viable solution. One man did arise proclaiming a solution but was quickly removed and eventually sent to prison where he wrote Mein Kampf pointing his finger not only against the establishment but also the Jews. Yes, Germany was considered a Christian nation desperately looking for some great leader to make them a great nation again. They became a nation easily swayed to allow hate to enter their hearts for anyone who would stand in the way of Germany’s success. Lukewarm Christians along with others would dawn their brown shirts and violently strike back at all those who stood in the way of Germany’s restoration to glory. Yes, Adolf Hitler arose leading an entire nation to strike back at all those who stood in his way of making Germany great again and making all true Germans proud of their bloodline as a chosen race. Yes, with a so-called just cause even moral Christians can be swayed to fight back making them lukewarm in the sight of a loving and merciful God. Jesus said, “So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth” (Revelation 3:16).
Let us pray that we are not on the same path as Germany was under Hitler. As a Nation, many believe that we have lost our greatness and are seeking a leader who will make our nation great again. But at what cost? If we blindly follow a self-righteous and prideful man, then we will produce our own brown shirts to fight against the establishment and anyone else who stands in the way of becoming great again. In many ways, it has already started by allowing hate to reign in our hearts against the other side, the immigrant, the foreigner, and anyone else who disagrees with us. Dear children, we must not become the brown shirts for Trump or any other leader. Jesus Christ is our only true leader, and He has already given us a unique path to walk. Christ’s path is to come out from among them, all of them, on both sides (Revelation 18:4-5). The path of Christ is totally different than anything in the world. It is a heavenly path that brings truth and righteousness to all sides. When we truly come out from among then we will see clearly the path of righteousness, which is to do God’s will on earth as it is in heaven (Matthew 6:9-10). Let that sink in. When we follow God’s will alone we will see heaven opened up to brand new possibilities. We will easily identify lukewarm Christianity from classic Christianity taught by Jesus Christ.
Lukewarm Christianity says they have the power in themselves to overthrow Satan, establish God’s dominion here on earth, and more importantly utilize the political establishment or brute force to accomplish their goals. Their lack of success in overthrowing Satan is proved by how quickly the world is sinking deeper and deeper into the pit of horrific unrighteousness. Furthermore, lukewarm Christians have been blinded by Satan to overlook or even accept the bad behavior of their own leaders in both the political and religious realms. On the other hand, classic Christianity utilizes God’s methods of leading people to Christ and helping them to become transformed in Christ one person at a time. Christ’s method is not through brute force and political action but through God calling them individually into His Kingdom of righteousness. Instead of wearing brown shirts to wreak havoc on our neighbors, we have the gift of sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with everyone. Only the Gospel has the power unto salvation (Romans 1:16). Instead of pride and arrogance we walk in humility considering others better than ourselves (Philippians 2:3; Ephesians 4:2). Instead of outrageous greed seeking to build an empire here on earth we lay up our treasures in heaven (Matthew 6:19-21). Instead of hating others who disagree we have learned how to love even our enemies (Matthew 5:43-48). To keep one foot in the world and one foot in the kingdom will guarantee your place in lukewarm Christianity and a brown shirt especially fitted for you to follow the prideful and self-righteous Antichrist. God forbid.
Right now, the world is primed for the Antichrist and his brown shirts to rule the world. As I am writing this article even more countries, especially in Europe, have chosen the path of radical right to rule their people, which will play into the hands of the coming Antichrist. Donald Trump has sown seeds of hate into the hearts of his faithful followers in nearly every speech causing many to rise up against the establishment and anyone else that disagrees with his mandate. Donald Trump follows some of the same demeaning rhetoric as his predecessor Adolf Hitler against the immigrants, the legal system, and anyone else who disagrees with him. Donald Trump has not been open about his ancestry roots from Germany by his grandfather who was a German immigrant. If he becomes a dictator on day one of his presidency, as promised, then the resurrection of the brown shirts from the ranks of lukewarm Christianity could cause the greatest persecution against God’s anointed children since the First Century. Dear children, we must come out from among them now, bringing as many professed believers as possible. There is nothing we can do to stop the Antichrist. The one thing we can do is to prepare for the days ahead by proclaiming the truth to our family, friends, and everyone else we encounter. When the Antichrist takes his seat in the most powerful nation in the world, then the fulfillment of prophecy and the inevitable will happen. The only question we need to ask ourselves is: “Will you be persecuted, or will you be the persecutor? I pray that you will follow classic Christianity taught by Jesus and not lukewarm Christianity taught by self-righteous man.
Please Join Me in Prayer
Good morning Heavenly Father. We have seen the great falling away even among our own families. Our hearts are deeply grieved that they will not recognize their own falling away because they have followed the path of lukewarm Christianity. They will not recognize or admit that they have one foot in the world following its teachings and one foot in the Kingdom attempting to follow your teachings exclusively. We pray that they will recognize that this great falling away opens the door to the Antichrist to lead your children even further away from the truth. We pray that their eyes will be open to the great deception of believing that they can overthrow Satan and build the kingdom, making their world great again, through the political process. We pray that you show them your righteous path of building the Kingdom one person at a time by casting off the hate for the other side, taught by the political elite, and only walking in true love for even their enemies. Oh Lord, teach them again the power of transformation to truly change lives beyond the ineffectiveness of manmade laws. We pray this is the Name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
“Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;” (II Thessalonians 2:3).

Dreaming, I love blogging. You all express your feelings the right way, because they are your feelings, focus on your blog, it is great.
Thank you, Cleopatra, for your interesting comment. I would like to add that all of my blog writings transcend my feelings to hearing and only writing God’s words for the encouragement and admonition of His elect children. God bless you my friend.
Everything you said in this article is the way it looks to me and my daughter to: Her and I have often spoke of the things that you have written in this current article to one another about these same things. We feel that prophecy is soon coming to pass with the election of America’s next president. May God help and bless us all in Jesus’ Holy Name. Amen and Amen.
Thank you my dear sweet friend, Mareesha, and your blessed daughter for your wonderful comment. Let us come out from among them and remain pure before the Lord Jesus Christ. I long only to hear God’s beautiful words for which I give Him all the glory. God bless you both.
Yes and amen! Thank you, God, in Jesus’ name. amen
I voted for Donald Trump when he was president. I have watched him over the years and how he conducts himself..what you said is absolutely true. I have been telling people that he is a borderline dictator and I do see that in him. I really do..when I read about his life as a child he grew up in a military school and he was a bully, he’s the same type of person that Hitler was which is very scary but it’s very true. I do believe he will be president again because God will be using him to fulfill prophecy and it’s going to be a horrible horrible time. I cannot vote for him, and I cannot vote for Biden so the only thing I can do is not vote at all.. God’s prophecies will be fulfilled no matter what humans do..
Thank you for your comment my friend, which I totally agree and can relate to. God bless you my friend.
Amen! Truth!
Everything is so true through the present day. Earnestly praying that those who are blinded following lies and not the TRUTH be opened to the reality of life.
What a brave and true Post!
Thank you, Dana, for your blessed and encouraging comment. God bless you my friend.
