Marxism and Christians

The current leaders of our government, religion, and society are leading us ever closer to a Marxist environment. Why is that a problem? Can Christians survive with their faith intact in such an environment? Will we come out of it?
Marxism is a problem, not because of its political implications, though that is troublesome especially for Christians who have lived their entire lives in the freedom of the United States. It is troublesome because to implement Marxism requires a ruling class that is totalitarian. For that class to control the masses under it there must be a demand for them to agree with the ruling class and its dictates and to think only as they are told to think. Biblical Christianity, as opposed to liberal so-called Christianity and other religions demand that believers follow the direction, mandates, laws, and leading of their King who is Jesus Christ. His mandates are to pray for governments and their leaders, and to live at peace wherever possible, but not to follow them, especially when they demand no worship or belief in God who is their King. Liberal Christians have no problem with Marxism, and many adhere to its tenets, because they merely modify their acceptance of the Bible as authoritative and allow their faith in God to become subordinate to the dictates of the ruling taskmasters.
Christians can survive and even thrive under oppressive regimes. Christians have grown, flourished and thrived under oppression as it forces them to look to God for their very survival. Chinese Christians living in Communist China have been know to say that they have the perfect balance of persecution and worship. Oppression keeps them focused toward God and they find opportunities to worship and obey God. The seedbeds of Christian revival have always been poverty and persecution, though few Americans would seek that for themselves just so they can be close to God.
Will we come out of this drive toward Marxism. As Americans I believe the answer is, “No.” As Bible believing Christians, the answer is a definite, “Yes!” We will go through many difficult times. Perhaps we will be raptured out of this world before it gets too bad, but perhaps not. The jury is still out in that one. Perhaps some of us will experience death. But one thing we can be confident in is that our King, Jesus Christ will be the Victor, and He has promised that we will reign with Him. We probably will not experience a Marxist utopia or a restoration to the Constitution and free market liberty. We will, however, experience a Kingdom with a perfect King who will rule in justice and truth and with an iron rod.
