Gary Varvel's Essay: The War Within America - Part 1
Plus Rep. Jayapal's eye exam and a cartoon on giving in Biden's economy
THE PARABLE
Preface: This series involves Biblical references about the spiritual world which cannot be understood by unbelievers.
James 4:1 (NLT) says, “What is causing the quarrels and fights among you? Don’t they come from the evil desires at war within you?”
This is one of the Bible verses that inspired my son Brett and I to co-write and produce a movie called, “The War Within.” The film depicted a war within a man’s soul personified by his Mind, Emotion, Will, Conscience, Memory and Heart. This battle for control takes place inside of each one of us.
Likewise there is also a War Within America. In my 60-plus years, I’ve never seen our country more divided.
Before the 2022 Mid-term elections President Joe Biden gave a speech in which he said, “I ran for President because I believed we were in a battle for the soul of this nation.” Biden was speaking about a political battle for political power over who will control the U.S. government.
But the more important war within America is a spiritual battle - not a political one. This war for the soul of America has been raging since our founding. But America began losing this war in the early 1960s. I’ll explain this documented fact later in this series.
For now, let’s focus on the spiritual influence that is behind this war.
In Matthew 12, Jesus gave us a parable that illustrates the power of spiritual evil on our generation. He said:
“When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. 44 Then he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order. 45 Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with this wicked generation.” (Matthew 12:43-45)
FIVE PRINCIPLES
Unclean spirits are real and can dwell inside of a man.
In the parable, the unclean spirit leaves but returns to find his “house” (the man), “empty,” “swept” and “put in order.”
Since he was “empty” there was nothing to stop the unclean spirit from returning with “seven other spirits more wicked than himself.”
The last state of that man was worse than the first.
The key: Jesus used the parable to illustrate this “wicked generation.” The demonic influence of an individual, explains what happens to a generation of people who are spiritually “empty.”
In Jonathan Cahn’s book, Return Of The Gods, he makes a compelling case for the same “unclean spirits” described in the Old Testament, returning to corrupt our generation in America and the west. If that is true and I believe it is, then this would explain the insanity that we’re seeing all around us today.
SPIRITUAL WARFARE
Last year, before I read Cahn’s book, I wrote an essay titled, “America’s Real Ruler.” Here is an excerpt:
In 1 John 5:19 is says, “…The whole world is under the control of the evil one.” Satan is not omnipresent. He can only be in one place at a time. But he rules over a vast network of demons that extends his reach around the world to thwart the plans of God.
In Daniel 10 it says that Daniel fasted, mourned and prayed to God for 21 days and he then an angel appeared to him. The angel tells Daniel that when he first started to pray that the angel came to answer him, “but for 21 days the spirit prince of the kingdom of Persia blocked my way.”
Verse 20 says, “Soon I must return to fight against the spirit prince of the kingdom of Persia, and after that the spirit prince of the kingdom of Greece will come.” These princes must be demonic.
If there is a “spirit prince of Greece and Persia,” I believe we can assume that there is a spirit prince over America, Britain, Germany, Russian, Iran and many more.
The Bible calls Satan the “Prince of the power of the air” (Ephesians 2:1-2). Satan also has the power of death (Hebrews 12:14). According to 2 Corinthians 4:4, “The god of this age (Satan) has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel…”
So how do we win the war within America? Surrender to God. Believe it or not, we are caught in a spiritual battlefield and we must choose a side.
As for me and my house we will serve the Lord.
COMING FRIDAY - Part 2: Who are the false gods of the Old Testament and today
Democrat Congresswoman and Squad Member Pramilla Jayapal has failed her eye exam. She can’t seem to see the brutal torture, rape and murder of Israeli women and children. No, she’s more focused on the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) and demanding that they use a “balanced” response to the Hamas terrorist organization.
As Townhall’s Rebecca Downs writes, the Democrats are in disarray becoming increasingly anti-Israel and pro Hamas.
Americans are giving people, but Bidenomics, which is costing American families an extra $8,000 a year, is making it difficult to financially support charities. This Associated Press story from June of this year says that “total giving fell 3.4% in 2022 to $499.3 billion in current dollars, a drop of 10.5% when adjusted for inflation.” This is only the fourth time in four decades that donations did not increase year over year. Thanks, Joe Biden.

I appreciate your scripture-based blog, but your illustration depicting the Grim Reaper over the world with ANTI-SEMITISM inscribed on its brow took me aback. ZIONISM should be inscribed instead. Please read with an open mind and consider that through Zionism we are watching the rise of the beast system that leads to the attacks on Christianity, one world order (NWO), and the antichrist prophesied in the Bible.
We’ve been indoctrinated that Israel is the apple of God’s eye, which will be used to deceive many, except scripture (Genesis 12:3) doesn’t specify Israel which did not exist in Genesis 12. YHWH is speaking to Abraham about the Messianic lineage. YHWH’s covenant and promise was to Abraham and his descendants. This is prophecy and promise of Yeshua, Lord and Savior.
Genesis 12:3
And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
The Scofield Bible led many to unconditional support of Israel; this is a trap through Zionism that will deceive many into worship of the beast/antichrist.
Israel has continually broken YHWH’s covenant by worshiping false gods/idols, then rejecting Yeshua, Lord and Savior, forcing the Romans to crucify Yeshua so His blood would not be on their hands, except it is. YHWH then turned to the Gentiles with His message of forgiveness, salvation and everlasting life through Yeshua. Some Jewish people have accepted Yeshua, but most have not. YHWH has preserved His remnant of Jews (twelve tribes of Israel, Messianic lineage), the 144,000, that will accept Yeshua as Lord and Savior, proclaiming the Gospel during the Tribulation.
Many support Israel without question, but there are legitimate concerns. Israel and the US (both Zionist governments) created and fund Hamas. How was Israel with its IDF, the most advanced, high tech military, US military aid, state-of-the-art intelligence / surveillance and the Iron Dome, caught by surprise? Why was the music festival moved near the Gaza border within 48 hours of October 7th? Why did it take the IDF nearly 7 hours to respond to Hamas paragliding effortlessly in, attacking, raping, killing and taking hostages? All without any resistance from the high tech, highly-advanced IDF. For nearly 7 hours Hamas was allowed to rape, torture, kill and take hostages before the IDF responded. Also, Israel has backtracked, stating there is no evidence of babies beheaded by Hamas, CNN apologized for its reporting and the WH retracted its statement that Biden saw photos. I’m not saying no one has been hurt or killed (hundreds or thousands on both sides), but that it seems the stories were embellished to foment strong emotions. There’s video of Netanyahu saying that there will be a conflict, but Israel must not be seen as the aggressor. October 7th has all of the hallmarks of being a false flag to justify the Zionists attacking Gaza.
There is a Zionist, UN/WEF globalist, Freemason trifecta: Rome is religion. London is finance. US is military. All have the obelisk.
The Israel of today is not the Israel of Biblical times. Most world leaders and governments, including Israel, US, etc. are Zionist. Obama, Biden, Netanyahu, Trudeau, et al are Zionist. Zionism is a political movement, not Judaism. It’s not antisemitic to be anti-Zionist. The Zionists control everything in this world; politics, government, judiciary, commerce, finance, science, technology, medicine, education, and media (news and entertainment). The Zionists want their NWO, one world government, currency, religion. The UN with its Lucis (Lucifer) Trust is not the humanitarian, peacekeeping entity it masquerades. The UN is the nascent one world government of the NWO beast system. The Zionists are the Jesuits, Freemasons, UN, WEF, globalists, Trilateral Commission, Bilderbergs, Illuminati, Nazis, etc. The Zionists are the Luciferian cabal that rules this temporal world.
Zionists originated as Ashkenazi (Noah’s grandson Ashkenaz, Genesis 10:3; I Chronicles 1:6) Khazar Jews first in what is now N. Turkey, then migrated to Khazaria (present day Ukraine) where they converted to Judaism while practicing dark arts, sacrificing to Baal. The Zionist Ashkenazi Khazar Jews follow the Babylonian Talmud, not the Torah. They gained power through the Bolsheviks, Rothschilds and Rockefellers. AshkeNAZI Khazar Jews are the Khazarian Mafia, nascence of the Nazis.
Most current Jews are descendants of Noah’s grandson Ashkenaz and not of the Messianic lineage through Noah’s son Shem. YHWH documents the Messianic lineage and the lineage of the false Jews, the Zionist Ashkenazi Khazar Jews, in Genesis 10:3 and I Chronicles 1:6. Noah had three sons, Shem, Ham, Japeth. Shem’s descendants are Abraham, Isaac, Jacob/Israel, David, Yeshua; the Messianic lineage. Ham’s descendants are the Canaanites. Japheth’s descendants through son Gomer and grandson Ashkenaz are the Ashkenazi Khazar Jews, false Jews and the synagogue of Satan.
YHWH warns of the false Jews.
Revelation 2:9
I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
Revelation 3:9
Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
There are many layers to the deception. What’s depicted on the Israeli flag as the star of David is the star of Remphan.
Acts 7:43
Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.
Amos 5:26
But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves.
We’re watching Biblical prophecy unfold. The Zionist agenda is one world government/currency/religion. The Zionists want their NWO. The Zionists will rebuild the temple in Jerusalem and their deity/messiah, the man of perdition, will sit upon the throne and declare himself God. He will be charismatic and powerful. Many will be deceived. All people, great and small, will be forced to worship the beast and accept the mark of the beast (right hand or forehead; the microchip is ready) to buy or sell. Those of us that refuse will face death. The fate of those that accept the mark of the beast is sealed.
Watch the site of the Dome of the Rock, the Temple Mount, which was the location of the first two Temples of Jerusalem. The Dome of the Rock is the Islamic shrine which was built in the 7th century. The Zionists want this site on the Temple Mount for the building of the third temple where their messiah, the man of perdition, will declare himself God.
Zionism is a political movement, not Judaism. It is not antisemitic to be anti-Zionist (false Jews/synagogue of Satan).
Consider that YHWH’s promise is future tense, the New Jerusalem, prophesied in The Book of Revelation, to all believers in Yeshua, Lord and Savior, and not of this temporal world.. YHWH will destroy this world in the pouring out of His wrath and the final battle between good and evil, Armageddon, on the Mount of Meggido. Lucifer and his evil minions will be cast into the Lake of Fire. Why would YHWH’s covenant of a promised land be temporary? And His covenant is no longer with just the Jewish people, but ALL believers in Yeshua as Lord and Savior.
All glory to Yeshua, Lord and Savior.
American Jews heavily favor democrats even as today's democrat party has chosen to gather many Muslim peoples flooded into America by Obama from all over the middle east. So now we have 105 democrat congress people who back Hamas over our best ally Israel. Obama, the Squad, even Bernie Sanders (and his communist wing) reject all Jews.
