Understanding "Nationalism" as a Concept

 What exactly is Nationalism as a concept?  Understanding Nationalism may be important in Spiritual Warfare, and understanding some Demonic Strongholds, and what may be in the near future. 

As a younger man, I was taught that Nationalism was birthed out of the French Revolution.  That is not quite right.  An Athenian may have been a Nationalist.  A Persian may have been a Nationalist.  A Roman was a Nationalist.  There were city states who had unique cultures.  These city states projected power.  Someone who was a citizen of, or servant of, or ethnically/culturally part of a particular group, they may have been a Nationalist. 

Western Rome fell in 476 AD.  What was created from the ruins was Christendom.  A Christian Kingdom.  Christendom was everywhere there were Christians.  Identity as Roman or Gaul or Goth or Frank, those identities may not have been as important after the Fall of Rome.  God shows no favoritism to the Nations.  God will take a servant who fears him from any Nation.  Being in Christendom was unifying. 

The New Testament is very interpersonal, that is, how should a man get along with his neighbor in a Christian, God fearing Community?  The New Testament doesn't get into God's Foreign policy.  Someone may need to understand the Prophets and The Old Testament, and to be able to effectively apply certain ideas and concepts towards understanding God's Foreign Policy.  When Christians became Dukes and Kings, how were they to act?  The Catholic Church worked to provide answers for this.  There ended up being a lot of warlords, and wrongs.  From 476 to 1513 or so, there was a period of over 1000 years.  In that 1000 years, there was a unifying concept of Christendom, with some unique ideas that shaped how men perceived. 

The Protestant Reformation, along with some wrongs the Catholic Church may have done, this broke down Christendom.  In 1787, Nationalism took the place of Christendom.  

I briefly touched on a lot of big ideas.  We may need to come back later and hash some of them out.  Lets stay focused on Nationalism. 

The Nationalism created out of the French Revolution of Luciferian.  A Luciferian believed that God was the dark, and man or something else was the light.  Through the Middle Ages, there were stories of Lucfierians at a "Burning Man" type of pagan ceremony, where they frolicked naked, were in debauch, and worshiped the devil.  Is that like a Diddy Party or Epstein Island or Bohemian Grove?  Is that like the "Burning Man" concert which is based in paganism?  Luciferians have had a particular fruit.   Given someone attended a University, was there a lot of debauchery going on at the University?  Christians societies value virgin brides.  The character of those in power and influence, at Western Universities, has been Luciferian.  The character of the French Revolution was Luciferian, rejecting God. 

French Nationalists, they started The Terror where many men were murdered.  French Nationalists seized Christian possessions and lands.  They tore down Cluny Cathedral, a wonder of Medieval Europe.  The French Nationalists created "Rights of Man," where man was worshiping himself.  There is a big difference between God Given Rights, where man is giving deference to God, and The Luciferian Rights of Man.  A lot of ugly things were done in Nationalism. 

Nationalism isn't necessarily bad or wrong.  A Nation would be a group of people with a similar language, culture, religion, who saw themselves as the same.  Nationalism in a rejection of God, like the Nazi SS delving into occultism, and looking to recreate a Pre-Christian Germanic Paganism, that would be evil and wrong.  Nationalism isn't necessarily wrong.  Is someone a Christian?  God has no favorites among the nations.  God will take a servant from Japan or China or Nigeria or Columbia.  God will take a servant who FEARS him from any Nation.  In building the Kingdom of God, Nationalism starts to fall away again. 

Current World Politics:  2025 and Forward  

Socialists have worked to break down traditional Nationalism towards a Socialist Nationalism.  Karl Marx was a false prophet, who made some prophecies about a World Wide Proletariat Revolution which never happened.  Socialists have worked to breakdown traditional Nationalism towards a Socialist Nationalism, and Revolution. 

In Britain or the US, given a Modern Liberal hated themselves, and their own country, and would talk badly about Nationalism.....how do they feel about Vietnamese Nationalism during the Vietnam War?  How do they feel about Chinese Nationalism opposing Western Imperialism?  Given a Left Leaning person hated themselves, and opposed Nationalism in their own country, that was Marxism and it's fruit.  What was Marxism working to do?  Breakdown traditional nationalism towards murder and enslavement and revolution.  A Marxist in a Western, Non-Communist Nation would be a criminal guilty of treason, and conspiracy a crime.

The character of the European Union has been Luciferian towards a left leaning Socialism.  The Nationalist movements in Europe, right now, are not Christian in nature.  Given there was some sort of world destabilizing event, where governments were falling, there may be a lot of ugly.  The Bosnian War in 1992 was ugly.  Europe could end up looking like Bosnia.  

Given someone is reading this, and feeling like they need to knee jerk something at me, or fight me, a man defends what he loves.  What do you love.....with your soul?  Love The Lord your God with all your heart and SOUL and strength and mind.

We covered some big ideas, and a lot of history.  Someone should take their time here and pray and reflect.
