Then all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah, and said to him, "Look, you are old, and your sons do not walk in your ways. Now give us a king to judge us like all the other nations have."
- 1 Samuel 8:4-5 (1050 B.C.)

And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force. - Matthew 11:12 As the fate of our nation hangs in the balance, the time has come for the true Church of God to rise up and recover what the enemy is trying to steal. We do not need physical force. But we do need "Holy Violence".

The answer is, 'yes'; and the little Book of Habakkuk offers prophetic encouragement for us in an hour when the forces of darkness seem to hold the upper hand.
