King James Version
12 For wisdom is a defence,
and money is a defence:
but the excellency of knowledge is,
that wisdom giveth life to them that have it.
Six days after president Trump was inaugurated into the Oval Office, Pete Hegseth was appointed Secretary of Defense on 26 January 2025.
Just like many, I, too, waited for both to go into office.
One without the other won't do.
Those who look to GOD for security, those who work for Him, those who have given their lives for the LORD, those who support the "weak", those who defend their nations, those appointed by Him are all soldiers of CHRIST.
We all work together for the defense of GOD's commands, according to GOD's will, for the survival of people, and nations -- especially Israel, GOD's chosen nation.
We are called "watchmen".
Now, it's very telling that in the Trump administration, the Department of Defense is alternately called the "Department of War".
The DOW history can be summed up here --
The beginning:
"Shortly after the establishment of a government under President George Washington in 1789, Congress reestablished the War Department as a civilian agency to administer the field army under the president (as commander-in-chief) and the secretary of war.[5] Retired senior General Henry Knox, then in civilian life, served as the first United States secretary of war."
-- "DOW -- 18th century", Wikipedia
The end:
"In the aftermath of World War II, the American government (among others around the world) decided to abandon the word 'War'* when referring to the civilian leadership of their military."
-- "Post-war Organization", Wikipedia
And now?
On September 5, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order authorizing "Department of War" and "secretary of war" as secondary titles to the main titles of "Department of Defense" and "secretary of defense."
-- "Department of Defense -- Name", Wikipedia
It was also a sign of the times.
That America needs to be ready.
She is merely reinforcing what Trump already said, even during his campaign.
"Peace, through strength."
As well as what Hegseth already said before, too:
1. RESTORE the warrior ethos.
2. REBUILD our military.
3. RE-ESTABLISH deterrence.
Have they both accomplished it?
Have a look at what DOW shared on its website:
"365 Days of Of Peace Through Strength"
Isn't it contrary, then?
Wherein Trump wants peace?
And yet restores the Department of War?
Hardly, if we go by what's happening in the world today.
Wherein many nations have declared war, on both Israel, and America.
Trump and Hegseth have been consistent.
They both want peace for America, and the world.
But in doing so, Hegseth reminds us of his motto as he led his platoon in his early days:
"Those who long for peace,
must prepare for war."
President Trump is merely bringing back America to the forefront, with peace, power, and prosperity.
America has suffered too long, through woke policies imposed upon her.
Now, through Trump, Hegseth, their cabinet, and the American people, America will regain respect once again.
And yes, she's preparing for any war "eventuality".
Only because others have challenged her to it.
Let that not catch you by surprise.
For the last two years, we've been alerting you to it, especially "spiritually".
Let our selves, homes, families, communities, cities, industries, and nations not be laid bare before our enemies.
It's time to "FORTIFY your FORTRESS".
And if you want to win, there can be no victory, unless you have CHRIST.
Matthew 28:18
King James Version
18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying,
All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
John 15:5
King James Version
5 I am the vine, ye are the branches:
He that abideth in me, and I in him,
the same bringeth forth much fruit:
for without me ye can do nothing.
1 Corinthians 15:57-58
King James Version
57 But thanks be to God,
which giveth us the victory
through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 Therefore, my beloved brethren,
be ye stedfast, unmoveable,
always abounding in the work of the Lord,
forasmuch as ye know that your labour
is not in vain in the Lord.
Mercifully, both Trump and Hegseth seem to honor the LORD, and have acknowledged His power over their life and work.
Look to the LORD JESUS, folks!
Listen to the HOLY SPIRIT, Who JESUS left us with as He went back to sit at the right hand of GOD.
Only the TRIUNE GOD has REAL power.
PEACE comes through JESUS alone.
Therein lies your victory.
*NOTE:
The only American organizations retaining the name "War" are these service "war colleges":
Army War College (AWC)
Naval War College (NWC)
Air War College (AWC)
All these "train U.S. military officers in tactics, operations and strategies".
