The USA is under threat at this time.
Last week or so President Trump declared this in a more casual manner... using different terminology than the old Bush' colors of threat levels, and not the military threat levels (DEFCON) either.
This week, rather than write an Executive Order, he followed up with a letter to Congress regarding 'posse comitatus" which is the correct way to do it.
That the President feels he needs this means that he senses the United States is under a real INTERNAL threat to our national security. That should call all Christians to their knees in prayer for guidance and protection from that threat.
I have my own ideas as to why POTUS felt the need to do this. (I had big questions when in 2007 it was done!)
And it is not JUST to be allowed to use military within our borders, something which by otherwise legality is not allowed (though it was done at David Koresh compound... and was quite scary to me).
I put this here because it IS our CHRISTIAN based nation that is under seige... being threatened in many ways....
(As a side note, and still trying not to be political, the SCOTUS ruled recently that ISLAM will NOT be taught in our public schools. That was another real threat and persecution of Christians here, as Christian students were being deprived of any outward display of their faith while teachers were requiring several months of 'being a moslem' as part of the required curricula... taking on an Islamic name, wearing the traditional dress, memorizing and saying the prayers to allah... )
One can only wonder if this is part of the reason for the 'threat within our borders'? There are 22 publicly known alqaeda terrorist training camps operating in the USA. And certainly we all know about the ONE reported terrorist camp where abducted children were being taught to be school shooters, where the one 4 yr old had been sacrificed and buried as well?
By the way, this is not just the ability to use military to protect us...but it's roots are in the early days when local sheriffs needed citizens to help round up a large group of bad guys, to retain law and order etc (who rode horses? posse.... ) So it could also be to allow the local police to 'deputize' citizens in helping in securing our borders if there is a mass intrusion??? Or also to help such as in CA where they have registered illegal aliens to vote... that is a threat to our national security as well.
Guess we will find out (perhaps not) but we need to pray for the sovereignty of our Nation, to keep it Christ-centered, or we will be over taken.
