Preface: The two paragraphs following this preface were a portion of a post from December 15....2015. Trump had six months earlier come down that escalator and entered the race for president. Jeb, Fiorina, Rubio, Carson, Kasich, Trump, Cruz, Christie and Rand Paul were on the debate stage at the time. I was for Ted Cruz...but none of these men....or Carly....were willing to actually jump on that rope and ring the tower bell....except Trump. Months would pass and one by one they faded away and remain useless to today....except for Trump....who is less than useless. We do not know how bad the situation is because we never looked into God's Word. We opened the bookmark to 2 Chronicles 7:14....read it out loud to anyone who would listen....then closed the book as if there was nothing else in there. Donald Trump shouted the loudest by far....and we bowed down to the roar. As for us evangelicals....Billy Graham had been shouting out warnings for decades. Who should we listen to Graham or Trump...the trumpet or Trump? We picked Trump....and God took Billy Graham home. We had our warnings. It was time for judgment.
It Was The Sound Of The.....Trumpet!
I'm going to return to politics in this post and as I often do I'm adding a disclaimer of sorts at the beginning. Politics cannot get us out of the mess we are in! The damage done to us is irreversible...as I have written a number of times. The America of the textbooks of our youth is no more. God's judgement upon us is sealed. What is not known is the extent of that judgement. Surely His manifold mercies are there to be given but those mercies concern an America after it has faced the wrath of its creator.
These thoughts do not endear me to fellow conservatives for they think that I am defeatist and have essentially given up. That doesn't bother me at all because I know the problems ahead and they are so enormous that criticisms will be gone from the memory when the judgements begin to unfold. Yes, I say 'begin to unfold,' for this future societal earthquake is still at this time but a rumble miles underground. Nothing short of a national repentance will save us....nothing.
