Preface: There is indeed a "season of darkness" upon us as Joe Biden mentioned yesterday....only he's part of it....and Donald Trump is part of it....and evangelicals are stumbling around in that darkness.....but there is a light....the Light Of The World.....and it's time to leave these men in their darkness....and follow that light.
I've done my best in this very limited capacity to warn evangelicals that they have fallen head-over-heels for a genuine biblical false prophet....a man who we might as well call our good shepherd....who had come into the sheepfold....not by the gate....but down the escalator....who tells us over and over that our best days are yet to come....in spite of the evidence all around us....and God's Word that would describe to us....if we would only read....how and why we have fallen....how we denied any wrongdoing the whole time....and how we ignored the delusion of which we were told to prepare. In this post I want to look at this whole thing from a different perspective.
Just what is it that we evangelicals want....in this making of America great again? Is it really conservative Supreme Court judges that will save us? Even if this were an answer.....look around at America today. Do you really think that a court decision will stop our full-fledged rebellion to God? Even our own man in the White House has shown us that executive orders rule today....not a constitution....and would rule just as radically with a Democrat president....or more....since we have given the obvious OK in expanding them to such an unconstitutional extreme.
Is it the stock market that you want back....money for you as half of America has only a hourly wage to depend on? God has told us to go ahead and build....and He will tear down....and that is what will happen. Or is it really jobs where your compassion lies. Well there are probably a few million jobs to be had in the military draft....that this president is bringing about through greed and arrogance and recklessness....along with great wars for which to send your sons and daughters.
Might it be leadership that would bring glory to God? Really.....in Donald Trump who is a disciple of the father of lies....and a poster boy for everything that Bible tells us to avoid? "Hurt God....hurt the Bible"....these are words coming from a man who cannot even construct a sentence let alone have a legitimate thought on anything Christian.....who flippantly said only days ago that God was testing him....for God said to him...."You know....you did it once....and I said....'Did I do a great job, God? I'm the only one who could do it.' He said that you shouldn't say....now we're going to have you do it again. I said...'OK....I agree....you got me. But I did it once. And now I'm doing it again..." Where are our pastors on this? They should have warned us....but they didn't....as they are either cowered in fear over losing people over not supporting Trump....or they themselves have fallen for this false prophet.
So what is it that you want? Can't you see where the future is taking us....Trump or no Trump? Just when might it be that you would want Jesus to actually return? Would you give your OK to thirty or forty years from now? Are those words in the New Testament where it was obvious what the early Christians desired....looking to the return of the Lord Jesus....are they just words....meant not really for us today? Brothers and sisters in Christ....you are not going to....'Make America Great Again'.....and this is good.....because this great America that Donald Trump envisions is nothing that would bring glory to God.
Addendum: John MacArthur has been a stalwart for the gospel of Jesus Christ for many decades....often in the middle of a defense of the Word of God....far more faithful....and a far more credit to the gospel than I will ever be. I've recommended his ministry and his books at least a dozen times in these posts....and continue to do so....(gty.org) He had an opportunity to make his boldest and most difficult move yet by warning....just warning....his many followers of a false prophet in Donald Trump....which would have gone against a strong current....in fact he gave a powerful sermon on false prophets in May of 2015.....only a month before Donald Trump came down the escalator....but instead he chose to fight to keep his church open....not exactly what the Chinese Christians are up against....and in the process has wound up defending Donald Trump from the great concerns all over the full spectrum of secular and Christian observers.....labeling it hate....thus defending a man who if there is anyone totally void of empathy and compassion it is Donald Trump.....but I've read well over seventy books now on Donald Trump's entire life.....books praising him....books critiquing him....books by him....and I doubt....for I do not know....that John MacArthur.....a prolific reader....had read even one....Fear....or John Bolton's book....or Mary Trump's book that tells you how he has treated his family that he loves so much over his entire life....or American Oligarchs that describes the essence of his business life. It doesn't sound like he is aware at all of Trump's decades of involvement with Russian monies....or his lying every day for years.....or stiffing people his whole life....or his all-consuming passion....if it takes years....to seek revenge....life altering revenge....on anyone who has the audacity to oppose him.
I encourage you to listen to John MacArthur's sermon.....Beware Of False Prophets....which you can easily Google......and please keep Donald Trump in mind throughout the message.
