The ‘Unite the Kingdom’ rally<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There is now an undeniable disconnect between ordinary people and those in office. The \u2018Unite the Kingdom\u2019 rally on 13th September in London’s Parliament Square and across Westminster Bridge drew almost hysterical comments from the Prime Minister. In an interview with Channel 4 News reported in the Standard<\/b><\/a>, Sir Keir Starmer described the demonstration as \u201cplastic patriotism\u201d, adding that it had been more than \u201cjust very bad behaviour\u201d, as if it were \u2018very bad behaviour\u2019 to turn up to an anti-establishment rally.<\/p>\n

The arrogance of Rehoboam<\/h2>\n
\"King<\/a>
King Rehoboam surveys the wreckage of his kingdom. (We nearly captioned him ‘Keir Starmer’) (Christian Publishing House)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It reminds us of the arrogance, stupidity and contempt for those below him of the Bible\u2019s King Rehoboam, when the people asked for a reduction in their taxes. That did not end well for him. He lost the majority of his kingdom and Judah was then invaded by Egypt. Find the story in 1Kings 12 and 2Chronicles 10-12. It is well worth a read. As it happens, at the end he repented and in Judah, finally, we read, ‘Things went well’. That is what we want for our United Kingdom, but it depends on the Lord raising up righteous, humble, God-fearing men to lead us:<\/p>\n

2Chron 12:12 And when he humbled himself, the wrath of the LORD turned from him, that he would not destroy him altogether: and also in Judah things went well.<\/b> (KJV)<\/p>\n

Rehoboan\u2019s stupidity may well have been from the Lord, but nevertheless, the point stands. Arrogant rulers who underestimate the strength of feeling against them will fall under judgement.<\/p>\n

It appears there were 24 arrests on the day in London with eight people charged, but how many of those were from the rival hard-left protest has not been disclosed. In comparison, there were over 500 arrests over the two days of Notting Hill Carnival last month, \u201850 of them for possession of an offensive weapon\u2019, according to the Telegraph<\/b><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Eyewitness account<\/h2>\n

The mainstream media were careful to put numbers attending around 100,000. Commentator Philip Patrick<\/b><\/a> attended the rally and had a different view: \u2018Suffice to say the numbers who were there … far surpassed the expectations of the police or the mainstream media. … The authorities underestimated the breadth and depth of feeling of people in UK who oppose the direction the country seems to be taking. … The proliferation of Union Jacks, flags of St George, Saltires and Welsh Dragons evidenced the UK-wide appeal of this event \u2013 not just how frustrated people feel, but a renewed spirit of Unionism, too.<\/p>\n

\u2018The number of crosses and placards proclaiming Jesus Christ our saviour was, to me at least, surprising. \u201cJesus is King\u201d was chanted from the stage at one point. (It) reinforced the mood of a people striving for a higher, better, ancient authority to appeal to.\u2019<\/p>\n

Rev 19:16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King of kings, and Lord of lords.<\/b><\/p>\n

Downing Street condemned as \u201cdangerous and inflammatory\u201d comments of Elon Musk, urging those at the rally in London to \u201cfight back\u201d or \u201cdie\u201d. The Prime Minister\u2019s official spokesman said Mr Musk\u2019s words threatened \u201cviolence and intimidation on our streets\u201d, adding, hopefully: \u201cI don\u2019t think the British public will have any truck with that kind of language.\u201d<\/p>\n

But Reform\u2019s Nigel Farage said: \u201cIf the fight that Musk was talking about was about standing up for our rights and free speech, if it was about fighting in elections to overcome the established parties, then that absolutely is the fight that we\u2019re in,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Ask us to come and speak at your church \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2019Shiver\u2019 through \u2018our communities\u2019<\/h2>\n

Sir Keir went on:\u201cIt sent a shiver through so many of our communities who now feel more scared than they did before. I understand that.\u201d<\/p>\n

But Mr Farage responded: \u201cI\u2019ll tell you what\u2019s even worse, the fact that over 50% of women don\u2019t feel safe walking the streets alone.\u201d<\/p>\n

Judges 5:6 In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied, and the travellers walked through byways.<\/b><\/p>\n

For London Mayor Sadiq Khan, writing in the Guardian<\/b><\/a>, Elon Musk \u2018tried to rally protesters against our democracy\u2019. That\u2019s Mr Khan\u2019s and Sir Keir\u2019s \u2018democracy\u2019 of course, not ordinary people\u2019s. He also blamed Donald Trump<\/b><\/a> for \u2018dark times, but those who seek to divide us will not win.\u2019 Those at the rally were from \u2018the far right\u2019, said the uber-inclusive mayor, leading London Assembly Conservative Leader Susan Hall to reply, \u2018your constantly referring to others as far-right is divisive in itself\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u2018Rising tide of hatred\u2019<\/h2>\n

Sir Sadiq claimed \u2018many people, particularly from London’s diverse communities, are feeling extremely worried.\u2019 It\u2019s those plural \u2018communities\u2019 now with added \u2018diversity\u2019 wheeled out again.<\/p>\n

We should note that when today\u2019s elite speak of \u2018our communities\u2019 they acknowledge that they have destroyed the unified British community which stood together in two world wars. The \u2018communities\u2019 of which they speak are the Muslims who refuse to assimilate.<\/p>\n

Numb 15:16 One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you.<\/b><\/p>\n

Showing little self-awareness, Mr Khan went on to claim \u2018our politicians and pundits have refused to condemn the rising tide of hatred in this country\u2019. The man who has encouraged antisemitic Islamo-left parades through London since 7th October 2023 said this even as the tide of hatred of the godless left for the late Charlie Kirk was on open display.<\/p>\n

Mr Farage and rally organiser Tommy Robinson are known not to get on, but the former was generous enough to say he thought \u201cthe vast majority of people that turned up were good, ordinary decent people who are very, very concerned about what\u2019s happening in this country\u201d.

Why the disconnect?<\/h2>\n
\"Courtney<\/a>
Courtney Walsh, 12, ‘punished’ for wearing Union flag dress to school culture day – LBC<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

So why is there such a disconnect between the elite and the \u2018ordinary decent people\u2019 at the rally? Why was a gathering intended to \u2018unite the kingdom\u2019 accused instead of division, of being \u2018far-right\u2019 and and inciting violence?<\/p>\n

It is because the concept of uniting the kingdom around our Christian heritage, around flags with the cross of Jesus Christ on them (there is an alternative Welsh flag, that of St David, with the gold cross on a black ground) is anathema to the elite.<\/p>\n

Prov 15:33 The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.<\/b><\/p>\n

They want to unite around globalism, multiculturalism and secularism. They hate our Christian heritage and want to disparage it. Hence sending a young girl home from school on \u2018culture day\u2019 because she wore a dress depicting the union flag.<\/p>\n

In fact 13-year-old Courtney Wright spoke at the rally. She was one of \u2018Saturday\u2019s best speakers\u2019 according to the Telegraph\u2019s Alison Pearson<\/b><\/a>, who was there. And no, says Alison, the crowd were not \u2018racist\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u2018Culture based on lying\u2019<\/h2>\n
\"Dr<\/a>
Dr David Starkey<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Exodus 18:21 Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness;<\/b><\/p>\n

Historian Dr David Starkey takes the problem with the establishment further on Spiked Online<\/b><\/a>. He says: \u2018Unfortunately, the ways in which our elites behave today is much like the elites of the latter days of the Soviet Union. It is an entire culture based on lying. Lying about output, about finance, about freedom. … If you govern by shutting people up rather than debating problems openly, those problems eventually grow to become feverish.\u2019<\/p>\n

He scorned \u2018this idea that immigration is \u2018good for the economy\u2019, etc\u2019 and traced the rot back to 2010. \u2018The fact that David Cameron, a supposed conservative, professed his greatest achievement was gay marriage was absolute insanity. At the risk of sounding like a conspiracy theorist, Britons have effectively been living under a uniparty since John Major. It\u2019s no wonder people are so furious.\u2019<\/p>\n

Dr Starkey concluded with a plea \u2018To roll back the power of those elites who have lied to us about transgenderism, about multiculturalism and globalism.\u2019<\/p>\n

But he warned \u2018these ideas .. are so deeply entrenched\u2019 within the establishment. \u2018We can change these things. But we can only change it if the right here is as well-prepared as Trump was for his second term \u2013 or, I would argue, better.\u2019<\/p>\n

The spiritual dimension<\/h2>\n

Although Dr Starkey does not really \u2018Do God\u2019, he is speaking, whether he knows it or not, of the involvement of the spiritual dimension. The godless left are powered by the realm of darkness. Nothing else can explain both the glee over the death of Charlie Kirk and the current language of the elite and their terror of \u2018Unite the Kingdom\u2019.<\/p>\n

Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.<\/b><\/p>\n

What Dr Starkey hopes for cannot be done in the flesh. Anyone who tries that will fail. And who better to bring that dimension of a prophetic voice into an emerging political party than Christian Voice members and supporters? Leave your comments below.<\/p>\n

READ:<\/b> 1Sam 30:6; 1Kings 12; 2Chronicles 10-12; Prov 28:15-17; Isa 50:2-4, 51:7; Luke 13:31-33.<\/p>\n

PRAY:<\/b> Pray the ordinary decent people standing for a kingdom united around our Christian heritage are encouraged in the Lord. Pray for the Lord to raise up more prophetic voices in politics today. Thank God for Danny Kruger<\/strong><\/a> and pray the Lord will keep him safe and encourage him.<\/p>\n
