Israel’s failure of warfare leads to two major compromises: bonds with their enemies and idolatry. The same failure and compromises are present in the new covenant age. The church today feels overrun by the world because we shrank back from our spiritual warfare—and now cannot even recognize the enemy because of the bonds we have formed and the false gods we serve. This became very obvious during covid, where the church conceded the state as god. But the same compromises and idolatries occur with education, voting, taxation, and many other issues.
