The following was first posted February 5th....four short months ago.....before the economic shutdown....and before the social unrest. Why can some Christians see something as biblically obvious as Donald Trump being a false prophet....as others have remained blinded to it? Our flag hangs about twelve feet from where I'm sitting. We have a bell tower in town that plays various compositions....one of which is our national anthem. There have been times when I would be shopping and it would play. I would then stop....remove my hat....and face that sound until it was over. Love of country....especially America....is a good thing....but we evangelicals let it move in front of our love for our Savior. We Christians let a salesman dictate to us what we need....and we bought it....sight unseen....and now that we see the property....we somehow blame others for the swampland that is ours. Even this morning Donald Trump continues to inundate us with the words that we will become greater than ever....for it is all that he has. We need to move on....repent of our dalliance with greed and power....and move on.
"Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door but climbs in by another way, that man is a thief and a robber." (John 10:1 ESV) Donald Trump did not enter the sheepfold by the door....yet he leads evangelicals astray.....he is a 'thief and a robber.'
DONALD TRUMP.....FALSE PROPHET
President Trump concluded the State of the Union address with these words: "This nation is our canvas, and this country is our masterpiece. We look at tomorrow and see unlimited frontiers just waiting to be explored. Our brightest discoveries are not yet known. Our most thrilling stories are not yet told. Our grandest journeys are not yet made. The American Epic, the American Adventure, has only just begun. Our spirit is still young; the sun is still rising; God's grace is still shining; and my fellow Americans, the best is yet to come. Thank you, God bless you. God bless America."
Brothers and sisters in Christ....the redeemed of Christ....those born again....do you not recognize these as words of a genuine biblical false prophet....a false prophet such as we have been warned of time and again in the Bible....of which we acknowledged their existence.....and felt assured that we would know them if they approached us....but we did not know this one! We let down our guard. We thought it would be easy to spot a false prophet....but it wasn't easy....for this one came with words of patriotism....and words that defended life.....and religious freedom....words at times pointing to the glory of God....but these are merely words written by speechwriters who know what the evangelical wants to hear. We wanted it to be true....and ignored all the plenteous evidence that it was not true. We got sucked into greed....calling it liberty....and a lust for power....calling it freedom. He dragged us into his swamp....and we still did not recognize him....but these words above from the State of the Union address....words that everyone today is exalting as such a great speech....surely we can see that they are as bogus as the words of the serpent in the garden...."Hath God said?"
Pastors....it should be obvious that President Trump has entered your realm of preaching and teaching. This here is not politics! Will you not now warn your congregations of what this man says....and repeats on a regular basis....in front of tens of millions....using God's name....words which runs contrary to God's Word....leading us astray? Will you not now defend your sheep? Will you not even defend the gospel of Jesus Christ? Will you just sit back and let your congregation be devoured without so much as a caution?
Note: Google....'John MacArthur, YouTube, beware of false prophets' for a very good primer. Interestingly....he broadcast this message in May of 2015.....a month before Donald Trump came down that escalator.
