This is just my own thoughts, not on par with teaching.

It occurs to me that at least one of my expectations has come to full fruition: The entire federal system is now fully under globalist control. We have no friends in Washington DC. Think about that. If you ever hedged or doubted it, you should now see the FBI, IRS, etc., are all fully partisan. Even the military is undergoing a rapid and deep subversion. There is not a single agency we can trust. And if you happen to be a flag-waver, then you'll need to wave the American flag against the federal government. The uniform doctrine is that the flag is "racist" and must be removed from federal use as a symbol for the government.

The thing is, it's not that they are going to come after us for the gospel, but that they hate so very many things that the gospel will simply be another part of what they despise. We aren't really the target at all, just collateral damage, as it were. Still, the entire federal government system is our enemy.

Pretty much. It's the state, and then there's not the state. Bad actors don't even need to be "against the state," they just have to be noticed that they don't have sufficient enthusiasm for the state. There's not a lot of room for nuance.
