The following post is April 11th:
Donald Trump aside, most people would associate the word trump with a card game, which is interesting itself in that Mr. Trump built much of his fortune in casinos, but Merriam-Webster lists another definition first....'trumpet'. The word trumpet supposedly appears 61 times in the King James Bible. Indeed, the Apostle Paul writes in 1 Thessalonians 4:16,17...."For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord." (KJV)
Whatever Donald Trump has been in this campaign, he has been a trumpet, and on no issue more than securing America's borders. He has trumpeted a needed alarm throughout the nation....his 'trump' a call to battle. That's my assessment anyway of his campaign up until now.
I need to add this here for I have held this opinion throughout the seven plus years of these posts, Ted Cruz... or even my long time number one candidate for president....Jim DeMint....could not turn America around. It can't be done! We are no longer united states. I was sitting at the computer during one of the major primaries a few weeks ago, I can't remember which one, and with around 70% or so of the votes counted, and over a million votes cast, there was a five vote difference between Cruz and Trump! How many of our polarized elections have been decided by a single political ad or one candidate's grass roots skill, or worse yet chicanery, or a worthless media or clueless electorate? Some conservative radio talk show hosts are 180 degrees apart on this convention scheme, the same radio hosts that while unified kept an electorate informed so that Donald Trump and Ted Cruz later had an audience.
Even if politics were the deciding issue, which it isn't, America could not stand. Only an awakening throughout the entire nation and a reformation throughout the entire church could alter our fate, and that would only be to have secured mercy from God in the coming judgment that we so richly deserve.
But this post is on politics and here is an observation and the reason for the post. Please think a bit on the absurdity that I am going to describe. Republican elites have gone ballistic over the possibility of a Trump presidency. To hear them talk it would be devastating... the worst possible thing that could happen to America. They would have us believe that they are standing up in defense of their beloved country for they will not let this travesty come about. My question is......where were they when Barack Hussein Obama was running? We knew by 2012 that he was a Marxist....we're still not sure what religion he is.....if he has one. He gave enough evidence of his disdain for America and utter disregard for our well-being that even Inspector Clouseau could figure it out. And yet they hardly protested at all, and were barely audible at that! There is a coming reckoning for our nation no matter how this election would turn out.
We need, in America, to look to the 'trump of God!' We need to meditate on the judgments listed in the Book of Revelation, for Christians surely will experience some of them. At my age...sixty-six...I am involved in and around many conversations pertaining to pensions and social security. I cannot recall a single solitary time when anyone, Christian or otherwise, showed any concern about America surviving these troubling times. Judgment on America apparently never enters their minds. This needs to change if we are ever to confront the real reasons that chaos, greed and violence have run amok in our country.
