UPDATE: President Trump spoke for an hour and twenty-five minutes according to my calculations. What must these rally people be talking about as they return to their cars? They can say things like..."Wasn't he great!"....but there was nothing to get anyone thinking.....nothing intelligent to ponder....there never is. It was mantra....all mantra....and the stands emptied fast. He did allude to the 2016 election as possibly being the greatest ever.....#1. That 's what he thinks folks....he thinks he is the most important president ever....the greatest president ever! He surprised Sean Hannity yesterday by speaking for about forty-five minutes on his hour long show....and he spoke at a Senate luncheon the other day....in what was called a soliloquy for about an hour straight. In a soliloquy the character usually speaks to himself but in this instance it's a narcissistic ode to oneself. This is all going right past us right now....but the day may come when we see....what we should have seen all along....that there were signs that should have alarmed us.
I never really watched then candidate Trump's rallies prior to the 2016 election. I wasn't in need of motivation.....and already had a savior.....but shortly after his inauguration....and after it became obvious that he was a charlatan and a con man.....I started watching the rallies......in utter amazement.
The now President Trump will be holding a rally tonight in Michigan.....and Lord willing.....I will be watching......probably with a book on my lap....to defer to when the lies get too much to take....and I will surely be praying....throughout....that God might open our eyes to who this man is! I would ask that if you watch the rally....which I encourage you to do....that you might pray earnestly to God for discernment....and I'm confident that if you do just that that the toes of the statue will begin to crack....and the gilded metallic shine will tarnish right before your eyes.
Watch the President strut back and forth on the stage at the beginning.....as the people raise their cell phone cameras.....and the music blares. Two rallies ago I sat and listened to Sympathy For The Devil by the Rolling Stones played before the President came out....and looked at the crowd....many of whom were Christians.....and wondered how many might be frozen in shock at what they were hearing. Thinking back on it now....there probably were not many....for anything can be explained away when you have become a devotee.
Listen to the words that the President will speak....don't just believe them....analyze them. Be attentive to gross exaggerations.....and even outright untruths....for they will both be there. Look at the President's face.....see the arrogance....and the narcissism on display. Watch for the vitriol and virulent strain of revenge as it energizes the crowd and enervates the Christian of their ability to be vigilant. Take a moment if you would and think about some common shyster that you may have encountered in your life.....where you maybe even were taken in by him.....and where you vowed that you would never let that happen again. Consider the crowd. Is this a rock concert? Have you ever seen such worship even in your church? Just about all of the boasts that the President will say could be challenged or proven untrue outright but we do not have the power of the airwaves anymore to do this.
In days past....the fringe element in our society was as a canopy....a small layer out there as the skin of a peach where those who had trouble navigating truth and logic gravitated. That fringe today is as the juicy fruit of a cross section of a that peach....filled with both the radical Left and the now Trumpian Right.
Rush Limbaugh is losing his mind in his adoration of this man in our....(not this man's)....White House. If I heard him right he just now called....no passionately spoke out loudly as if in an auditorium of revolutionaries who just took over the government....for the President to close the border and pardon everyone....Manafort....everyone! Oddly.....two times in his show....in the short time I've been able to listen today.....he used the term....End Times' ...he's adamant in that we're not in the End Times. He was speaking about the Left's apocalyptic warnings on global warming and things like that....not Biblical End Times....but the terminology still hit home with me for he indeed has no concept whatever on God's judgment on nations such as we are.
