On Twitter/X, Turning Point UK posts a video from a uniformed group called the “King’s Army”, which apparently on Friday night took over Old Compton Street in London’s Soho to chant “Jesus Saves” as a rebuke against the area’s reputation as a “sex district”:
The group was previously profiled by CBN in May, after a similar display outside Buckingham Palace. Its founder, Scott McNamara, told an interviewer that “the Lord recently gave him a global mandate”:
“He said I’m raising up an army for the end times, call it The King’s Army. I’m going to push back darkness in these end times. So, the vision for King’s Army is really to establish these corps, these regiments in pockets all around the world to start fires all around the world where Christians can come and be trained and together shoulder to shoulder, they can raise the standard and push back the darkness”.
McNamara is from Liverpool, but the King’s Army HQ is in Orlando; his background is with the Vineyard network of neocharismatic churches, and he is also “Evangelism Director” for Christ for all Nations.
According to the King’s Army website, McNamara is the “Field Marshal”, with another Brit, one Samuel Berry, as his “Chief of Staff”. There are “Colonels” based in Canada, Germany and South Africa, as well as two for the UK: one in Northern Ireland, and one for the “South West Regiment” named Dominic Muir (var. Dominic Leo Muir).
I noticed the Old Etonian Muir last June in relation to a Christian coffee shop project in Yeovil whose manager, Joseph Buthee, had led the Lord’s Prayer at a Tommy Robinson rally. Muir is also a Tommy Robinson supporter: he was at Robinson’s more recent “Unite the Kingdom” rally, by his own account “carrying a 10ft cross”.
In 2023, Muir held a “UK Call to Repentence” at Wembley Arena, where, as summarised on a long caption posted to YouTube, he railed against targets that included “woke capitulation”; “big pharma, covid and making a saviour out of a vaccine and the NHS”; “namby pamby, overly seeker sensitive Christianity”; and, of course, “Jezebel”:
Jezebel also pushes witchcraft, voice muzzling, cancel culture, seduction, sexual perversion, sexual immorality and gender mayhem. She tramples the blood of Jesus by seducing a church who then refuse to preach the pure gospel, get distracted by social justice (in some cases unbiblical), call sin and perversion and what God hates sin and perversion.
A photograph of the King’s Army outside Buckingham Palace made the front page of HEART, a Christian newspaper that leans heavily into Covid vaccination alarmism and conspiracism.
