What I'm going to say here....at least what I'm going to begin with here....will make evangelical Trump supporters feel very satisfied....but not what I'll conclude with. I sit back and observe what is transpiring in real time before my very eyes. Four years ago it looked like Trump was going to be relegated to the ash heap of history. Today....I am amazed every single day on how world leaders are lining up to get in his good graces! It is more than remarkable....more even than extraordinary!
On January 6....that notorious January 6 of 2021....at about a half hour before noon....I turned on the television just to see what was going on in our capital....on the ellipse. As I watched the crowd I booted up my computer and started....shorthanding my thoughts....I do that often....to publish later....which I did. I typed in that I had to turn the television off because what I was seeing unnerved me. People....evangelicals in the crowd....were raising their hands to the playing of Leonard Cohen's....Hallelujah. This is not a Christian song folks....it's a blasphemous song....and in this situation it was alarming....almost demonic. People were shouting.....fight for Trump....fight for Trump....fight for Trump. Four years earlier....on January 7. 2017....the day before Trump defeated Hillary Clinton....eighty-two year old Leonard Cohen died....after a fall in home home....leukemia being a contributing factor.
The word....resurrected....is an apt description of Trump these past four years. In my opinion....with over a hundred books read on Trump's life....and maybe a hundred posts as I detailed the past eight years almost on a daily basis....what is happening is supernatural. Now evangelicals would heartily agree with that at face value....for they think that God is doing this to bless us....for what I can't imagine....as we in evangelicalism have little interest at all in God's glory....for He is just an emotional support god....like an emotional service dog....to comfort us enough that we can continue to enjoy our sports and family recreations and hobbies and work towards our personal goals.
No....this appears to me to be supernatural in that it has end-times written all over it.....but in what way I do not know. I do know this though....evangelicals have been deceived....the extent of which is phenomenal....and appears biblical....in that we were warned of this. May God have mercy on us....and apply a balm....and strengthen us....as He continues to remove veils on what is ahead.
Addendum: Have you spent much time lately reading the prophet Zechariah? We might want to consider what he wrote in chapter 7 verses 12 and 13:
"Yes, they made their hearts like flint, refusing to hear the law and the words which the LORD of hosts had sent by His Spirit through the former prophets, (that would be Jeremiah et al) Thus great wrath came from the LORD of hosts....'Therefore it happened, that just as He proclaimed and they would not hear....so they called out and I would not listen', says the LORD of hosts."
