My Response - COVID-19 Pandemic is a Constitutional Crisis #End Times #God #USA

July 02, 2020

This morning I read a very compelling article posted by Lamb & Lion Ministries from educator and Christian, Dr. Patrick Oliver. See Dr. Oliver's article following my commentary.

My commentary on Dr. Oliver's article:

I agree with Dr. Oliver that this current COVID-19 Pandemic is a Constitutional Crisis. No doubt! Without question! The article is an outstanding wake-up call to those of us who love our country. For us to get involved in our political process, to speak up.

Certainly, any half-awake person on planet earth with the ability to think critically and ask questions can realize the United States of America, the entire world actually, is experiencing unprecedented times. Note: For a reader to debate my use of unprecedented times, by suggesting we've always had earthquakes, volcanoes, civil unrest, global wars, global pandemics, lawlessness, genocide, and apostasy in our religious institutions, etc. - please go back to sleep.

For those who are awake, allow me to say with full assurance that what makes this COVID-19 unprecedented is not the pandemic itself, but rather "The Agenda" behind this pandemic which I prefer to call the Global "PlannedDEMIC!" And the following crisis of civil unrest in America is all a part of it. Wake Up Call!

But here's a major problem I have with Dr. Oliver's misguided article. He's addressing this to Christians and God-fearing Americans who might call themselves Christians or of a leaning in the Judeo-Christian values that forged our country. Any true Christian who is mature in Jesus Christ, can NOT agree with Dr. Oliver's article on the following merits I wish to highlight:

A true Christian walk is not founded upon Judeo-Christian values. Truth is, there never has been a Judeo-Christian value associated with a true follower of Jesus Christ. Judeo - Christian history other than Jesus Christ was a Jew and the first Christians were "converted Jews" yes, but to say shared values is not true. Ask any honest Rabbi and they will agree. What has been and does exist is Jewish Heritage and Christian Heritage. But combining the two mutually exclusive religions is heresy for both true Christian and true Jew alike. As Rabbi Eliezer Berkovits puts it, "Judaism is Judaism because it rejects Christianity, and Christianity is Christianity because it rejects Judaism." I'd like to add: The divider: Jesus Christ. Judaism is closer to Isalm than it is to Christianity. Please do your own research focused on how Muslims and Jews view Jesus Christ. Note: For those who claim I am antisemitic or practice replacement theology, both beliefs which I abhor, I invite you to my Blog: "AntiSemitism is not the same as AntiZionism" All false teaching of Dominion Theology, Liberal Social Gospel, Prosperity Gospel, Conservative Evangelical, Pentecost, Apostolic, etc. merge and blur lines that scripture clearly delineates and this includes the false understanding of Judeo-Christian values. Why is this a problem? Please read my Blog: AntiSemitism is NOT AntiZionism to read why the Zionists, the heritage of the Pharisees are behind the movement to bring in the Kingdom of the AntiChrist along with the Conservative Christian Evangelical movement. Dr. Oliver is a part of this mission by his own misguided belief in the Judeo-Christian values.

My second point of contention with Dr. Oliver's article can best be summarized by reading my 3 Blogs here as: Why I haven't voted since 1972. And Why today's churches are building the Kingdom of the Antichrist. Why God is using the COVID-19 crisis to drive his children out of these apostate brick and mortar 501C3 operations.

Sadly Dr. Oliver missed the greatest opportunity to tell the body of Christ that We Christians are pilgrims here in this land. This is not our home. We work and pay taxes. We raise our families in Bible Based, God-fearing ways. We love our country that God has blessed and used for his purposes. But in reality, this country, as well as this world, is NOT our home and only a very foolish, naive person believes that voting in the right party will turn things around. The truth is the Luciferian Elite under Satan has total control of this world. We are in this world but NOT of it.

Here's who really runs America

This is what Dr. Oliver should have said in his closing. Since he didn’t, please allow me, by God’s grace:

Look up, Saints! We are going Home! What we’re witnessing is truly the final scene of the final act of LIFE in this realm. There should be nothing but absolute overwhelming joy in the hearts of every Saint as we clearly see that our true home is now within view on our spiritual horizon. Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is coming dear Saints very soon. Everything i

Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again. – Ronald Reagan


The battle for freedom comes in many forms. Our current battle consists of a horrible health crisis, not just in America, but worldwide. It has resulted in us being told by federal and state political executives, some national and state medical experts, along with the mass media, that the coronavirus threat is so huge that the state governments must be allowed to mandate that we shut down much of life as we know it.


Therefore, some of our current mandates consist of no more school, no more dining in restaurants, no more going to movie theaters, no more church services, no non-emergency medical care, no group gatherings of any significant size, and only “essential” workers operating at their places of business.

The two crucial questions that emerge are whether these draconian restrictions on our freedoms are really necessary for our safety, and are they consistent with both state and federal constitutions?

Before I address these questions, I think it would be helpful to provide an historical perspective to give some context.

The Declaration of Independence

The Constitution of the United States is based on the principles articulated in the Declaration of Independence. The Declaration is a non-binding document that expresses the Judeo-Christian principles our constitutional republic is based upon.

The Declaration was signed by 56 men, 29 of whom had seminary degrees. Many of them had graduated from Harvard, Princeton or Yale — all of which were founded as Christ-centered institutions of higher education.

In the Declaration, the colonists indicated their resolve to dissolve their political bands with Great Britain. They stated that their decision was based upon the “Laws of Nature and Nature’s God.” The Laws of Nature are laws that are intuitively and instinctively known to people through their God-created conscience. The Laws of Nature’s God are the moral laws contained in the Ten Commandments.

There are five principles that are affirmed in the Declaration of Independence:

There is a Creator God.

God gives certain unalienable rights.

Government exists to protect those rights.

There is a Higher Law — the Laws of Nature and the Laws of Nature’s God.

Below the moral law (things not addressed by the Laws of Nature and Nature’s God), government may make decisions based on the consent of the governed.

The Declaration of Independence, like the Bible (Romans 13:1-7 and 1 Peter 2:13-17), indicates that the purpose of government is to protect the life, liberty, and property of all individuals by punishing evildoers and encouraging the righteous. When government officials fail to do this, they themselves are resisting the ordinances of God and are illegitimate authorities. It is then the right of the people to challenge this destructive form of government by altering it or replacing it.

The Response to the COVID-19 by State Governments

In states across our nation, governors and mayors — or their health directors — have issued “stay-at-home” orders and “cease business” orders that represent a degree of authority that has not been given to them by anyone.

Just as at the federal level, each state government in our nation has a constitution that mandates a separation of power among the three branches of government (legislative, executive, and judicial). And in each case, the power to create law is vested in the legislative branch alone. This separation of powers exists precisely to prevent the temptation of tyranny due to excessive power being located in one branch of government.

The creation of executive orders that become mandated directives is contrary to the separation of powers. Keep in mind that such mandates are not laws since they have not gone through the legislative process. A governor cannot create laws. He can only enforce laws passed by his state’s legislative body.

Yet, governors, mayors, and bureaucrats are mandating many forms of quarantine as “law.” All these mandates are designed to “lockdown” both healthy and unhealthy community members. Normally, quarantine directives are aimed only at the unhealthy population.

In many cases, these executive orders have resulted in stopping people from working, attending church, going to school, and visiting their loved ones in nursing homes. Do they have the “constitutional authority” to issue such mandates? The answer is simply, no.
These state and local officials can suggest guidelines, but they cannot mandate the loss of your God-given freedoms. Under the United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights, your unalienable rights to freedom do not cease to exist during a health or any other kind of crisis. The First Amendment of the United States Constitution declares some of these God-given rights for every person. Read it carefully:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

The Fifth amendment addresses the unlawful taking of property, which is what happens when you forbid someone to operate their private business. All these actions are not only unconstitutional, but they are also manifestations of totalitarianism or tyranny, which is defined as, “An arbitrary or despotic exercise of power; the exercise of power over others with a rigor not authorized by law” (Webster’s Dictionary).

This perspective of our constitutional freedoms is articulated by a quote from Michael Peroutka, attorney, and co-founder of the Institute on the Constitution (https://theamericanview.com):

In point of fact, no governor, in any state, has the authority to suspend the Constitution. And no pretended “Emergency Powers” legislation can give it to him because the legislature cannot give the Governor an authority that they themselves do not have. And any attempt for a Governor to suspend Constitutional rights is an act of lawlessness and a violation of his/her oath of office.

What Should We Do?

Stand up and speak out in defense of our constitutional rights! We must not let fear motivate us into being willing to dutifully follow any order given to us, regardless of its constitutionality. Specifically:

We need to insist that any rules laid down as law are either legislated by a state legislature or enacted by a city council or a county commissioner’s court — and not simply imposed by executive fiat.

We need to insist that any rules that are legislated do not violate our fundamental freedoms guaranteed in our Constitution’s Bill of Rights.

We need to insist, in particular, that there be no infringement of the Constitution’s guarantee of the “free exercise of religion.”

We need to pray for our elected officials that they will be guided by God to be responsible and legal in their responses to crises.

I want to live free; I imagine you do as well. To do so, we must all get acquainted with our Constitution so we can stand on the rule of law, not our opinions, fears, or feelings. In our constitutional republic, all laws should be based on God’s higher fixed law, and not majorities.

Common sense and, for Christians, biblical wisdom and responsibility, should be our guidelines in responding to this pandemic — and not the surrender of our rights.

Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. – Benjamin Franklin
