Ever since i read this article months ago, i've been meaning to start a thread on the topic but i've been super lazy to do it. Reading the recent Politico article below has finally given me the push to start the thread as i have material that i often stumble upon, necessary to update the thread.
I don't necessarily agree with everything that Mr. Wolfe wrote but i thought it was smart of him to highlight this idea of "End times nationalism". Most agree that there is an NWO religion that will soon be rolled out, logically that cannot happen outside of a theocratic infrastructure...which would have to be in place first before forcing everyone to worship the beast, it's image and taking it's mark.

The Image of the Beast
There’s an even more dangerous scenario when it comes to patriotism. As I described at great length in my book ‘Maybe Everyone is Wrong’ we know that the Beasts described in Daniel represent kingdoms on earth, and that the fourth one is very special. It is prophesied to last until the Messiah reigns on earth. That fourth Beast is undeniably Rome. This is what we find in Revelation; the Roman Beast empire is what Satan gives his throne and authority to, which makes war with the saints and overcomes them. The second Beast mentioned in Revelation is not different, but causes the world to worship the first Beast again, even though it is extinct. It is a new incarnation of Roman power—the Catholic Church—and likewise is the “image of the Beast” warned about as Rome’s final manifestation before the cataclysms of judgment come upon the earth. The “image of the Beast” is the Italian Renaissance, a humanist revival of ancient Greco-Roman empire, based on democratic republic government.
America is a neo-classical, Greco-Roman civilization, modeled after Rome. That’s why its State buildings, courts, and important buildings are always modeled after ancient Greek and Roman architecture, with marble columns and statues. Freemasonry was known as the preserver of ancient secrets, and the founding fathers admired the Greek philosophers, as well as the Roman empire. They designed America be the image of the Beast, though they didn’t realize they were fulfilling prophecy.
Every former monarchy which was reformed (or violently overthrown) by Masonic conspiracy turned into Humanist Enlightenment Democratic Republics in keeping with the Italian Renaissance, and thus shares this same prophetic identity. Europe and America continue to “liberate” countries this way, forcing fake democracy on unwilling countries in order to spread the power of the Beast. This is how Satan conquers in the name of Liberty, and enslaves in the name of Freedom. Democratic Republics are vulnerable to debt, bureaucracy, inefficiency, and therefore cannot govern themselves effectively against foreign manipulation, intelligence agencies, and corruption. America is in the hands of Satan, and it wars against true Christians through its systemic discrimination, propaganda, and, yes, patriotism.
Is patriotism sin and idolatry?
I have avoided using the terms “sin” and “idolatry” in this article, despite believing that America is part of the image of the Beast system. I do not believe that patriotism in general constitutes idolatry, nor is a sin. But Christians adhere to a higher standard than merely avoiding sins. We need to ask if it is simply unwise, counterproductive, or another thing Christians should outgrow and depart from. I absolutely believe that patriotism is unwise for the believer. It is another master; a conflicting priority.
What does “worshiping the Beast” really mean? Traditional interpretations insist that the “Beast” is a single man, and that worshiping him will be an explicitly religious activity. How awfully convenient for the Roman system! I believe worshiping the Beast is not about religious affiliation, but service and identity—patriotism to a fault. Glorifying, serving, and obeying anything is like worshiping it. In fact, worshiping God himself is not a magical process; it is the simple acknowledgment of His importance, a deep reverence for His Word, and a personal devotion to serve Him. By this metric, people do worship their nations; whether by that we mean their race, or their State.
