Formidable Christian and former UK politician, Anne Widdecombe’s brutal murder suggests political violence, and the online left-wing celebration of Widdecombe’s murder offers potential insight into who killed her and why.
“It was her pursuit or invocation of ethics, morals, values, and standards that were rooted in the sacred that provoked the real intensity of hatred against her.”
“Those who exalted in her death imagine they were passing judgement on a bigot. In truth,” Ashenden acknowledged, “they were answering once again the question put to Cain, and answering it by reaching for a rock.”
Ann Widdecombe is a modern-day martyr. We are in a civil war between progressives and conservatives, hatred and democracy, Ashenden said. This is a war between “hatred and decency, the sacred and the profane, freedom and repression of speech.” It’s also between “the courage to articulate unwelcome truth, and those who dress censorship up as a compulsion.” “It’s a conflict between judgement and justice, mercy and the mob.”
Despite not yet knowing the reasons for Widdecombe’s assassination, Ashenden said, “we already know the fault lines of the moral and spiritual conflict.” We too are seeing “who places himself on which side of the line, and why.” “We too face the same invitation to keep faith with God or pretend that somehow we can make salvation ourselves.”
As Widdecombe once said, “You get to heaven through Christ. I mean, I would have thought that was perfectly obvious through the sacrifice at Calvary; I don’t know any other way of getting there.”
She did not deserve to die this way.
Widdecombe certainly doesn’t deserve the drivel being thrown at her by Karl Marx’s flying monkeys who think their “oppressor-oppressed” ideology puts them beyond scrutiny. The real monster is the Marxian woke zero-sum game in play here. Specifically, the Left’s double standards on domestic terror, “hate speech”, and political violence.
To quote the Moravians, “May the Lamb who was slain receive the reward of his suffering.”
Jesus told us that in the time before His return to restore righteousness, lawlessness will abound. It is spiritual warfare they will hate us because of Jesus name.
“Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name’s sake. And then many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another.” Matthew 24:9-10
