There were a couple of years in the past when I explored the possibility of going to CPAC. This was back before I retired....but I could never make it work....and that was before Trump....who destroys everything with which he comes into contact.
In a few short months....Lord willing....June 15....it will be nine years since Trump came down that escalator! To someone who is 27 years old....(take note of this college students)....the deception and delusion of Trump would have occupied one-third of their life....and just about all of their adult life! They would have no idea what America was once like....MAGA being a gross imposter....lacking the compassion and the ethics and even much of the righteous intent we once had. Evangelicals have no idea what evangelicalism was thirty years ago. This that we have today is closer to Christian Nationalism than Christianity.
So I sat down this Saturday afternoon and watched yet another rally speech....it's literally been dozens over the years....this time another CPAC keynote speech. When I have posted on these rallies I watch it on my iPhone...while typing notes on the laptop as he speaks....to bring the post together later. Today....roughly an hour and ten minutes into the ninety minute speech....I typed in....'he has been rambling for forty minutes'....and less than 30 seconds later Trump said...."The fake news will say that I'm rambling....not using a teleprompter.....but it's genius."
If I didn't know better I'd say that he was tipsy....as he went on for a while with his normal diatribes such as...."The only thing between you and oblivion is me....it's true....it's true." Or..."We are on the fast track to hell....and in many ways we are living in hell right now." Trump said at one point...."Isn't this better than reading off a frickin' teleprompter"....and this is the first speech that I can remember where he did not finish with his usual sendoff....'We are one glorious nation under God'....the reason being fairly obvious in that he was real late for one last campaign appearance in South Carolina. (the CPAC speech itself was an hour late)
Trump said that November 5th will be...."judgment day"....that...."the day is at hand." Well God's Word uses similar language....as in Romans 13:12...."The night is far spent, and the day is at hand. Let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and put on the armour of light."
I wanted to bring the above graphic back. If you Google....John MacArthur Grace To You program....Beware of False Prophets....YouTube....this graphic will come up. Originally broadcast in 1980....I first heard the program on May 8, 2015....forty days before Trump came down that escalator.
Tomorrow is yet another Lord's Day....and pastors will enter their pulpits....with smiling faces....keeping their sheep from any unsettling issues....because they themselves haven't the slightest idea of God's prophetic word....having their whole lives preferred to accept a textbook definition of God's prophetic word....rather than reading it for themselves....comforting the confused rather than explaining and warning of what is directly ahead....therefore inhibiting any needed preparation....and leaving the sheep open to a wolf....who is today....bloated and almost belching from nine years of feasting on lamb chops and veal cutlets.
