On September 10, 2025, Charlie Kirk, a
prominent conservative activist, was tragically assassinated at Utah Valley
University in Utah during a campus debate on critical social issues facing our
nation. This act of violence represents a grave assault on civil discourse and
the free exchange of ideas within an institution of higher learning.
Such an act underscores the consequences
of prolonged misinformation and inflammatory rhetoric, particularly from certain
far-left media outlets, which have falsely labeled Mr. Kirk and other
conservative figures as racists or fascists. This narrative has contributed to a
climate of hostility, radicalizing some individuals and undermining constructive
dialogue over decades.
Unfortunately,
the United States is deeply divided, and many young people are brainwashed by some extremist ideologies without knowing their historical precedents and consequences. Some radicals even resorted to extreme measures to silence opposing viewpoints.
If this trajectory persists, the
potential for meaningful dialogue between different ideological factions may
erode entirely, which could lead to escalating civil conflicts in our nation. To address this growing divide and avert
further escalation, it is imperative to examine the historical roots of this
polarization.
The current ideological rift between the Right Conservatives and
the Left Liberals in the United States mirrors the spiritual distinctions
between the American Revolution and the French Revolution in the eighteenth
century. At its core, this divide reflects a continuation of the contrasting
values and spiritual influence between these two historic revolutions.
I. The Commonalities and Distinction
Between the American Revolution and the French Revolution
1. The Commonalities Between the
American Revolution and the French Revolution
The American Revolution and the French
Revolution both championed the principles of Liberty and Equality. The American
Revolution’s core belief, as stated in the Declaration of Independence, was
that “all men are created equal” and "they are endowed by their Creator
with unalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness".
Similarly, the French Revolution’s motto of “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity”
advocated for individual freedom, equal rights, and a sense of communal
brotherhood within society.
While both revolutions championed
principles that advanced human rights in the secular realm, their underlying
spiritual and philosophical differences set the United States and France on
distinct historical trajectories.
2. The Spiritual Distinction Between the
American Revolution and the French Revolution
The American Revolution was led by the
leaders like George Washington, who held a deep faith in God, and influenced by
the First Great Awakening, a spiritual revival that swept through the American
colonies from the 1730s to the 1770s. This movement instilled a strong belief in
God among the colonists, including the Founding Fathers. When drafting the
Declaration of Independence in 1776, they emphasized the role of God,
referencing “the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God,” “the
Creator,” and “Divine Providence.” The Declaration of
Independence begins with:
“When, in the course of human
events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds
which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of
the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of
nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of
mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the
separation.
We hold these truths to be
self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their
Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”
At the end of the Declaration of
Independence, it stated:
“And for the support of this
declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence,
we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred
honor.”
For the strong faith of the founding
fathers of the United States, God blessed the American people and their
Continental Army commanded by General George Washington with the miraculous
victory over the well-equipped British Army. Thus, the new nation, the United
States of America, was born under the blessing and the protection of “Divine
Providence”.
In contrast, the French Revolution was
propelled primarily by atheists and anti-clerical radicals shaped by the
Enlightenment of the 17th and 18th centuries, which prioritized reason,
empirical evidence, and scientific methods over traditional religious
interpretation. Following the Scientific Revolution in the 16th and 17th
centuries—marked by groundbreaking figures like Galileo, Kepler, Bacon,
Descartes, and Newton, the Enlightenment philosophers like Voltaire and
Jean-Jacques Rousseau also raised public skepticism toward established religion—particularly
the Catholicism in France.
As scientific discoveries accumulated,
they raised numerous questions that the Catholic Church struggled to reconcile
with its traditional doctrines. This erosion of religious authority prompted
many people—especially the liberals —to abandon or openly reject faith in
God.
During the French Revolution, the
radical factions of the revolutionaries turned hostile toward the Catholic
Church, which was supported by the monarchy. They confiscated church properties,
disbanded religious orders and monasteries, persecuted priests and nuns loyal to
the Church, and pursued a campaign of dechristianization, abolishing Christian
holidays in the name of progressive reform. Unbeknownst to these
revolutionaries, their anti-Christian actions sowed the seeds of significant
turmoil and catastrophe for both the nation and themselves.
Due to their sins of blasphemy and their
atrocities against Christianity, God put a curse on the French Revolution and
soon the dream of “Liberty, Equality and Fraternity” turned into the
nightmare of the “Reign of Terror”. During the period of the “Reign of
Terror”, those radical revolutionaries developed the guillotine to execute
those deemed enemies of the revolution. Initially, they targeted loyalists of
the French monarchy, but soon extended executions to political rivals within
their own revolutionary ranks.
On January 21, 1793, French King Louis
XVI was executed by guillotine at the Place de la Révolution. In June 1793, the
moderate revolutionary leaders Girondists were overthrown and arrested by the
radical Jacobins, with many executed in November 1793, following the execution
of Queen Marie Antoinette on October 16, 1793. On April 5, 1794, Georges Danton,
a prominent revolutionary leader, was arrested and executed by his former ally,
Maximilien Robespierre, leader of the Jacobin Club. Three months later, on July
28, 1794, Robespierre and 19 of his associates were executed by guillotine,
followed by 83 members of the Commune, leading to the dissolution of the Jacobin
Club.
From September 1793 to July 1794,
approximately 300,000 people were arrested, with around 16,600 executed by
guillotine for counter-revolutionary activities, and an estimated 40,000 others
summarily executed or died awaiting trial. Even prominent revolutionary leaders
fell victim to their own political purges, illustrating that those who used
violence to silence opponents often faced similar fates.
In the end, over one million French
people died in the French Revolution and the subsequent Napoleonic Wars. By the
end of the Napoleonic Wars, the French army could not find enough adults to
recruit. Most of those anti-God revolutionaries perished during the “Reign of
Terror” and the Napoleonic Wars under the judgment of God. France, once a
formidable empire, declined into mediocrity, culminating in its defeat and
occupation by Nazi Germany during World War II.
To the contrary, the United States,
founded by devout individuals who sought God’s guidance and honored divine
providence, received divine blessings, becoming a global superpower over the
next two centuries. While both the American and French Revolutions championed
principles of liberty and equality, their differing spiritual foundations led to
divergent outcomes: the United States was blessed by God to rise to the
superpower in the world, while France lost the blessing of God and suffered
continuous decline from its former imperial stature.
In the past, numerous scholars have
conducted extensive research into the political aspects of the American
Revolution and the French Revolution, yet most of them did not understand the
profound spiritual forces at work behind these historical events. In truth, both
the American Revolution and the French Revolutions were prophesied in the Book
of Revelation nearly two thousand years ago—long before they actually occurred
in the eighteenth century. Now, for the first time in history, the 2,000-year
mystery of the Bible’s Book of Revelation is finally unveiled, and the
prophecies of these two historical events in the Book of Revelation are
ultimately decoded.
II. The Prophecies about the American
Revolution and the French Revolution in the Bible’s Book of Revelation
The visions in the Book of Revelation,
contrary to common belief over the past two millennia, do not solely foretell
cataclysmic events at the “End Time” but also prophesy significant
historical developments in the Christian world over the last two thousand years,
including the American Revolution and French Revolutions in the eighteenth
century.
1. The Prophecy of the American Revolution and the
Founding of the United States of America in the Book of Revelation
The American Revolution, or the
Independence of the United States of America, was prophesied in the letter to
the church in Philadelphia in Chapter 3 of the Book of Revelation. We all know
that Philadelphia was the birthplace of the United States of America where the
Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776. However, the city of
Philadelphia in the Bible’s Book of Revelation was not the city of
Philadelphia in the United States but just a small city in Asia Minor during the
first century.
Although the Philadelphia in the Book of
Revelation was not the Philadelphia in the United States, this letter to the
church in Philadelphia does carry the prophetic meaning about the birth and
destiny of the United States of America. Here are the key elements of this
letter to the church in Philadelphia:
“These are the words of him who
holds the key of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no
one can open. I know your deeds, I have placed before you an open door that
no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my
word and have not denied my name...I will make them(your enemy) come and
fall down at your feet... I will keep you from the hour of trial that is
going to come upon the whole world.” (Revelation 3:8-10)
In the Old Testament, King David stands
as the preeminent example of a faithful king in Israel, who united the kingdom
and established Jerusalem as its capital. This prophecy indicated that God would
raise up a faithful leader like King David to serve as the founding father of
this new covenant nation, the First President of the United States of America,
George Washington.
Like King David, who consistently sought
divine guidance through prayer before battle or major decision, George
Washington was renowned for his practice of earnest prayer prior to every
significant military engagement or political choice. Through his faithful prayer
and sincere dependence on divine providence, George Washington’s
poorly-equipped and less-experienced Continental Army, under the blessing of
God, achieved miraculous victories over the superior professional forces of the
British Empire, resulting in the birth of the United States as an independent
nation.
“What he opens no one can shut, and
what he shuts no one can open” indicates this faithful leader of the new
nation would open the door to a new form of governance while permanently closing
the door on certain medieval practices. George Washington rejected people’s
call for him to be the king for the new nation. Instead, he voluntarily
relinquished power after two terms as president and established the tradition of
limited presidential tenure—a precedent that has since become the global
standard for democratic leadership. In this way, George Washington opened a door
to the modern presidency with term limits that no subsequent leader has been
able to close.
Concurrently, George Washington and the
other Founding Fathers crafted the United States Constitution and its First
Amendment to guarantee freedom of speech and religion, shielding citizens from
government interference or persecution in these areas. This constitutional
framework effectively shut the door on state-sponsored suppression of conscience
and expression—a protection that has likewise become a cornerstone of
democratic societies worldwide.
“I know that you have little
strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name... I will keep
you from the hour of trial that is going to come upon the whole world.”
This indicated that in the early day when this new-born nation had little
strength, Christ would “keep you from the hour of trial that is going to
come upon the whole world.” This “hour of trial that is going to come
upon the whole world” referred to World War I & World War II, which
took place primarily outside the mainland United States. Through Christ’s
blessing and protection, America was spared the terrible destruction that
devastated Europe and much of the rest of the world, enabling the United States
to emerge as the leading superpower of the world after World War II.
"I will make them(your enemy)
come and fall down at your feet.” This indicated that Christ would bless
the nation with victories over its powerful enemies and “make them come and
fall down at your feet.” That’s how the United States of America led its
allies to defeat the once mighty Nazi Germany and Soviet Union with the blessing
of Christ. These victories were predestined by God in the Bible’s Book of
Revelation almost 2,000 years ago.
From this prophetic letter to the church
in Philadelphia, we can see clearly how Christ blessed this nation from its
infant stage all the way to the Superpower of the world. Without the blessing of
Christ, the United States of America would not be as successful and powerful as
it is now.
However, Jesus Christ also gave a
warning to the United States in this letter to the church in Philadelphia. “I
am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
(Revelation 3:11) This confirmed that the “Crown” of the United States, as
the Superpower in the world, was the result of the blessing of Christ due to
Americans’ faith in Christ. If the American people lose their faith in Christ,
Christ will also take away the “Crown” He has granted to the United States.
In the end of the letter, Christ also
promised, “The one who is victorious I will make a pillar in the temple of
my God. Never again will they leave it. I will write on them the name of my God
and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out
of heaven from my God; and I will also write on them my new name.”
(Revelation 3:12)
This prophecy indicated that if American
people could keep their faith in God and in Christ, the “New Jerusalem” for
the “Second Coming” would “come down out of heaven from God” to
the United States, not the Old Jerusalem in Israel. However, there will be a big
surprise for all faithful Christians in this prophecy: the Christ of the “Second
Coming” will have a “new Name” other than “Jesus”. Be prepared for the
surprise, just like the surprise in the “First Coming” when the Jewish
priests misinterpreted the prophecies of Messiah two thousand years ago.
2. The Prophecy of the French Revolution
in the Bible’s Book of Revelation
The French Revolution was prophesied in
Chapter 9 of the Book of Revelation in the Bible.
“The fifth angel sounded his
trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from the sky to the earth. The
star was given the key to the shaft of the Abyss. When he opened the Abyss,
smoke rose from it like the smoke from a gigantic furnace. The sun and sky
were darkened by the smoke from the Abyss. And out of the smoke locusts came
down upon the earth and were given the power like scorpions... They were
told to harm those people who did not have the seal of God on their forehead…
They had a king over them the angel of the Abyss, whose name in Hebrew is
Abaddon, and in Greek, Apollyon.”
(Revelation 9:1-11)
The sign of the star falling from the
sky to the earth indicated the coming of Lucifer the Antichrist rebelling from
heaven to the earth. This matched the prophecy in the Book of Isaiah: “How
you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut down
to the ground, You who weakened the nations!" (Isaiah 14:12)
Just like Christ inspired the First
Great Awakening(1730s – 1740s) before the American Revolution, Lucifer the
Antichrist also came to the earth before the French Revolution. On May 1, 1776,
a secret society was founded in Bavaria to worship Lucifer as their God of
Enlightenment. That secret society was Illuminati with its goal to overthrow the
monarchs in Europe and destroy the Christianity in the Western World. It was
soon outlawed in Bavaria but it went underground and went abroad to France,
which inspired the leaders of the French Revolution, especially the radical
Jacobin Club, to turn against the French Monarch and the Catholic Church.
Eventually, the French Monarch was
abolished and French King Louis XVI was executed by guillotine. The Catholic
Church in France also suffered fatal damage as the church properties were
confiscated by the revolutionary government and many priests and nuns were
deported or even executed. Before the French Revolution, France was a Catholic
nation with 98% of its population being Catholic. After the French Revolution,
France basically became a Godless nation and suffered huge damage as the
consequence of Lucifer’s influence.
The vision of “the smoke locusts
came down upon the earth and were given the power like scorpions” indicated
this disaster started from the field as the French Revolution started with
peasants after the great hailstorm destroyed the harvest in 1787 and 1788.
“They were told to harm those people who did not have
the seal of God on their forehead.” This
prophecy indicated that this disaster would hurt those people who did not have
faith in God. As most French revolutionaries lost their faith in God and turned
hostile toward the church under the spiritual influence of Lucifer the
Antichrist, they would be the main victims of disaster created by themselves.
Many leaders of the French Revolution
were executed by their fellow revolutionaries during the “Reign of Terror”,
and most of revolutionaries were killed in the following Napoleonic Wars,
especially in their failed war with Russia in 1812, where about 500,000 of
Napoleon’s Grand Army lost their lives in the cold winter land in Russia. At
the end of the Napoleonic War, France could not find enough adults to join the
army so it had to recruit teenagers to join the army. Most adults who
participated in the French Revolution became the casualties of the “Reign of
Terror” and the following Napoleonic Wars.
This vision in Chapter 9 of the Book of
Revelation not only prophesied the cause and spiritual influence of the French
Revolution, but also pointed out the name of their king. “They had a king
over them the angel of the Abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek,
Apollyon.” This “Apollyon” is referred to Napoleon.
After the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars, the once mighty French
Empire were destroyed and France fell into a mediocre godless country until it
was totally defeated and conquered by Nazi Germany in World War II.
A comprehensive analysis of the
histories, prophecies and underlying spiritual dynamics of the American
Revolution and the French Revolution reveals that, despite pursuing the same
proclaimed ideals of “Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity,” the fundamental
difference between the two lies in their opposing spiritual foundations.
The American Revolution was led by men
deeply influenced by faith in the God and the teachings of Jesus Christ in the
Bible. The Founding Fathers consciously built the new nation upon biblical
principles, acknowledging that true liberty and justice flow from reverence for
the Creator and respect for His moral law. Their political vision was shaped by
the Two Greatest Commandments taught by Jesus in Matthew 22:37–40: “You
shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with
all your mind” and “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
This spiritual foundation fostered a system of government designed to resolve
political differences peacefully through representation, debate, and democratic
elections.
In stark contrast, the French
Revolution, particularly in its radical Jacobin phase, was driven by leaders
operating under the spiritual influence of Lucifer the Antichrist. The de-Christianization
campaign (1793–1794), the Cult of Reason, and the systematic persecution of
Catholic clergy and believers demonstrated the spiritual influence of the
Antichrist on the deliberate destruction of traditional Christian faith in
France. As the spiritual influence of Antichrist was direct opposite to Jesus
Christ’s commandments on loving God and loving your neighbors, it turned the
French Revolutionaries hostile toward God and hatred toward those who hold
differing views, leading directly to the guillotine as the preferred method of
dealing with political opposition during the Reign of Terror.
The long-term fruits of these two
spiritual foundations are evident. The United States, established on the solid
rock of biblical truth and reverence for God, received divine blessing and grew
from a small collection of colonies into the most powerful and prosperous nation
in history. France, having embraced a godless ideology and turned against the
faith that had once sustained it, forfeited divine blessing and declined from a
great empire into a nation of diminished global standing.
In summary, while both revolutions
pursued liberty and equality as their political goals, the ultimate difference
between the American and French Revolutions is the spiritual influence from the
spiritual realm: one was built upon the spirit and principles of Jesus Christ;
the other was driven by the opposing spirit of the Antichrist.
III. The Spiritual Continuation of the
French Revolution – The Communist Revolution and the Anti-Christianity
Movement in the West
After the failure of the French
Revolution, the evil spirit of Satan/Antichrist started another plot to turn
people against God. It inspired two young men in Germany, Karl Marx and
Friedrich Engels, to write a pamphlet “The Communist Manifesto” in 1848. It
became the ideological foundation of the Communist Revolution in the 20th
century, which became the largest Anti-God movement in human history and caused
huge damage to the world.
Just like what Karl Marx stated in his
poems, “With Satan I have struck my deal. He chalks the signs, beats time
for me, I play the death march fast and free.” (“The Fiddler”) “I
bring the world to ruins—the world which bulks between me and the abyss, I
will smash to pieces with my enduring curses.” (“Oulanem”) “Then
I will be able to walk triumphantly, Like a god, through the ruins of their
kingdom.” (“Human Pride”) These Satanic and Anti-humanitarian poems
were the solid proofs that Karl Marx was under the Satanic influence to create
such a toxic ideology of Communism to destroy the world.
From a spiritual perspective, the
Communist Revolution was the continuation of the French Revolution on a global
scale under the same Satanic spiritual influence. The French Revolution was a
prelude for the Communist Revolution as the French Revolution was prophesied in
Chapter 9 of the Book of Revelation and the Communist Revolution was prophesied
in Chapter 12 of the Book of Revelation.
In Chapter 12 of the Book of Revelation,
there was a vision of “an enormous Red Dragon with seven heads and ten
horns and seven crowns on its heads. Its tail swept a third of stars out of
the sky and flung them to the earth.” (Revelation 12:3-4) And later
“the great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil,
or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the
earth, and his angels with him.” (Revelation 12:9)
This vision indicated Satan would lead
one-third of the stars, or the fallen angels, rebel out of heaven and come to
the earth to turn people against God and lead the whole world astray. In
history, the Communist Revolution, at its peak time, had turned about one-third
of the nations on the earth into the Anti-God Communist/Socialist countries in
the world in the 20th century.
Both the French Revolution and the
Communist revolutions of the 20th century were spiritually driven by the same
evil spirit—the spirit of Satan and the Antichrist—whose ultimate goal was
to eradicate faith in the true God and to wreak destruction upon God’s
creation and His people. Both began by seducing well-meaning individuals with an
attractive Utopian vision: the promise of a perfectly “equal and just society”
that would end all oppression and usher in universal brotherhood. Yet once
political power was secured, that same demonic spirit took full control, turning
the movements violently against God, His Church, and biblical morality.
What started as noble-sounding ideals
quickly degenerated into horrific nightmares of totalitarian terror. The French
Revolution’s Reign of Terror and the ensuing Napoleonic Wars claimed well over
one million lives in France alone. The Communist revolutions, operating under
the same anti-God spirit, murdered approximately 100 million people worldwide
through purges, gulags, forced famines, and mass executions. These staggering
death tolls stand as the direct, predictable consequence of rejecting the living
God and following the deceptive spirit of the Antichrist/Satan.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union
and the Communist/Socialist countries in Eastern Europe, the Satanic Spirit of
Antichrist began to attack Christianity again in the Western World. It was
prophesied as the Beast in Chapter 13 of the Book of Revelation. This Beast
of Antichrist “was given a mouth to utter proud words and
blasphemies and to exercise its authority for forty-two months. It
opened its mouth to blaspheme God, and to slander his name and his dwelling
place and those who live in heaven. It was given power to wage war against
God’s holy people and to conquer them. And it was given authority over every
tribe, people, language and nation.” (Revelation 13:5-7)
This prophecy indicates that the Beast,
representing the spirit of the Antichrist, would utter blasphemies against God
and wage war against His saints, while spreading anti-Christian hostility
throughout the Western world. That is precisely what has unfolded over the past
several decades. Christianity has come under relentless attack as radical
leftist forces have worked systematically to de-Christianize the United States
and Europe.
Under the spiritual influence of the
Antichrist, some Anti-Christian activists and organizations have filed lawsuit
after lawsuit to tear down the Ten Commandments Monument from courthouses and
banish crosses and all Christian symbols from government buildings and public
spaces—even though they bear profound historical witness to the
Judeo-Christian foundation upon which these nations were built.
The same spirit of the Antichrist has
gained dominance in media, entertainment, education, and even corporate culture
for the last couple decades, to the point where saying “Merry Christmas” was
effectively forbidden in many public settings, including the White House, during
the Christmas season. These developments serve as clear evidence that, for a
period of time, the Beast of the Antichrist did exercise real authority over the
nations, just as prophesied in the Book of Revelation.
Today, many on the modern left—particularly
the progressive and “woke” movements—are unwittingly walking the very same
path trodden by the early French revolutionaries. They sincerely believe they
are the champions of compassion, justice, equality, and moral progress, just as
the French revolutionaries proclaimed “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity” with
apparent goodwill. Yet history and Scripture warn that whenever faith in God is
abandoned, the door is flung wide open for the same Satanic spirit of the
Antichrist to deceive, inflame hatred, and seize control.
Without the anchor of biblical truth and
the reverence for God, the beautiful dream of an “equal society” inevitably
morphs into a new Reign of Terror. We already see the early signs: the
relentless persecution of dissenting voices, the silencing and cancellation of
Christians and conservatives, and, in extreme cases, outright political violence—including
the recent assassination of Charlie Kirk. If this spirit is not decisively
rejected and repented of, nations that follow it will reap the same harvest of
tyranny, bloodshed, and societal collapse that befell revolutionary France and
the Communist world.
The lesson of history is unmistakable:
any movement that exalts man’s ideology above God’s authority, and that
replaces love for God and neighbor with hatred for those who disagree, is not
progressing toward justice—it is repeating the tragic, Satan-inspired pattern
that has already cost the world hundreds of millions of lives.
If we look back at the American
Revolution and French Revolution, we can clearly see the spiritual roots of
today’s right conservatives and left liberals. The right conservatives stand
in direct continuity with the American Founding Fathers, championing ordered
liberty under God, unwavering faith, freedom of speech, and the rule of law. In
contrast, today’s left liberals echoes the spirit of the French
Revolutionaries, who consciously turned against God and against Christianity,
and enthroned human reason in place of divine authority—a dangerous path that
history has proven again and again leads to disaster.
Although both the Left Liberals and the Right
Conservatives have some goodwill for humanity, I sincerely hope people will learn the lessons
from the American Revolution and the French Revolution and come to understand the
vastly different outcomes produced by the spirit of Jesus Christ versus the
spirit of Lucifer, the Antichrist. If the American people follow the example of
the Founding Fathers and hold fast to a strong faith in God, the United States
will continue to have its “Crown” as the most powerful nation on earth. But
if the American people choose to follow the French Revolutionaries in turning
against God, this nation will face the same ruin that overtook France in the two
centuries following its revolution.
