Trump in a way can be likened to the graphic of a sunburst....with lines or rays pointing out around the sphere. Each ray can symbolize a major problem with this man. I will mention but one small 'ray' here. It is believed that Trump performed one of the greatest comebacks in winning the 2024 election. This is not correct. After January 6 of 2020....Trump should by all rights have been done forever with any kind of politics. Everyone knew that at the time. These men like Lindsey Graham knew it at the time. I watched that rally that morning....and had to turn the television off....because it was....as I posted that day...."unsettling"....to watch how he and others fomented the violence that followed. The day was pure horror. Trump then called in every political debt owed him....told lies and threatened any republican who would not stay with him, The primaries in 2024 were a sham. Trump twisted arms....and what should be to our everlasting shame....republicans cowered and supported him or else they would get primaried out of congress. So this man who blusters about stolen elections....stole that one from conservatives. In what is absolutely mind----boggling....republicans today actually seem to believe that Trump did nothing wrong on that day. That my friends is how cults operate. The people simple no longer use their own minds. They read or listen to only what they are allowed to read........(Fox made a 180 degree turn from the 'fair and balanced' news media they once were)....and never....ever....on the threat of excommunication....challenge in any way the leader of the cult.
Note: This paragraph is from a recent Dispatches. If you are the age that I mention then you have been at an extreme disadvantage....(an understatement of the year.) You have been misinformed on America's true problems....underinformed on the gospel of Jesus Christ....and not informed at all on God's warnings to the church....and the imminent nearness of His return. You are in this respect probably the most disadvantaged generation in the history of our country....and yet you probably think that you are the most informed generation ever. "If you are around 40 years old....an adult for say twenty years....then the last ten years of your short twenty year adulthood had been a graphic novel...TV reality show....tabloid....true crime....seedy stateroom cruise down the River Styx. You have never experienced the America that once was....even in its last few decades....and you have never experienced the gospel as a mainstay in the church....or preaching that mortifies man and glorifies God. Read Daniel 9....and see what a prayer for national repentance is supposed to sound like."
That God miraculously brought the Jewish people back to their homeland in 1948 should be obvious to everyone. We Christians should recognize the prophetic in what happened. President Truman recognized Israel as a state immediately after they made the declaration....and we have always supported Israel since then. God in His Word gave some very strong warnings to anyone who would even laugh at Israel's misfortune. Israel today is a legitimate state that has continuously fought off attackers....and terrorism....the worst of which was the Sukkot attacks on October 7 of 2023. What God has not done is to tell....in this case us....to support Israel as it reclaims all of its biblical heritage. I'm referring here to reports that some in Israel want to resettle Gaza. The Christian's support is based on Israel....the Jewish people....defending itself....not on Israel....the state....fulfilling biblical mandates given to Joshua. A new temple has nothing to do with the Christian's concern for the salvation of the Jewish people.
I do not think that a civil war is coming in America. I do think that a revolution is occuring....similar to how the Bolsheviks took over Russia....and how the National Socialists took over Germany. Republicans in congress are letting this happen. Trump just does whatever he wants. He's not worried about what it looks like. He owns the Republican Party right now....along with the Justice Department....and all of our intelligence agencies....and seems to be forming his own police state apparatus. He is going after everybody who is a potential threat to his power-mongering.
The movie....Superman....was more believable than what is happening in the Epstein case. In Trump's 2024 criminal trial he finally found a lawyer that he liked....who had previously represented Paul Manafort. You might not remember the name but you would remember the frown that he always had on his face. So....Trump nominated his lawyer for Deputy Attorney General in November....and it was this former lawyer now Deputy Attorney General who interviewed the Maxwell woman in prison....who wants to get out of jail real bad. Yeah....Lois Lane interviewing Superman was more believable.
Fox....(who else)....is reporting today that FBI deputy director Bongino has uncovered evidence that shook him to his very core...and that he and the FBI director are committed to bringing the truth to the American public. So Trump has Bongino back in the fold after last week when Bongino was near resigning because Trump....(through Bondi)....was withholding the truth in the Epstein case. The way Bongino did it was this....he used his social media to give his cryptic message. That is pure and unadulterated Trump. That is how he does it. So they apparently explained to Bongino why he didn't see what he was so angry about with the Epstein case. This is the problem throughout our government today....and throughout evangelicalism. Everyone has come to believe that America cannot survive without Trump leading it. This is a grand delusion....(biblical)....that if possible even the elect are buying into....(biblical.) God on the other hand....has told us that our days are numbered because of who we are and what we have done.
The issue when the first investigations began of Trump....was....is he possible kompromat material for Putin? That is what the intelligence agencies were concerned with. That is what their responsibilities include. A decade after the investigations began....with Trump trying to throw those who investigated him into jail....looking back at everything Trump has done....it appears that the initial concerns about Trump may have been legitimate. That is why Trump has to remove all of these people. That is why at this late date the narrative has to point the other way....and away from Trump.
Evangelicals today are celebrating Supreme Court rulings on LGBTQ and judicial parameters....thinking that the path they have taken pleases God....but on the more weightier issues such as love for their neighbor....taking care of the widows and the poor and the alien in their midst....and worshiping God in spirit and in truth....it has been a failure.
