What’s the Real Heart Behind the “No Kings” Protest?

So I have come to understand that when these protestors say we need to love, “love” to them means loving everyone except those they disagree with (as they hate those people).

Whether they like it or not, there is a King, the King of kings, and he will reign in glory and perfect dominion forever and ever.

And as expected, there were lots of rainbow flags and LGBTQ signs, statements about “freedom of choice” (in other words, the right to sacrifice children in the womb), etc. Really, I think for most of these protestors, “No kings” actually means “No King”—they reject the King of kings because they want to be their own god (Genesis 3:15), and they reject all that the true King of creation has created and defined (gender, marriage, etc.).

I believe that’s ultimately the heart behind these kinds of demonstrations, whether they realize it or not. You can learn more in this video we posted yesterday to my YouTube channel:

Whether they like it or not, there is a King, the King of kings, and he will reign in glory and perfect dominion forever and ever.

I charge you in the presence of God, who gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who testified the good confession before Pontius Pilate, that you keep the commandment without stain or reproach until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, which He will bring about at the proper time—He who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone has immortality and dwells in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see. To Him be honor and eternal might! Amen. (1 Timothy 6:13–16, LSB)
