Preface: The end-times scenario is forming so fast that it's hard to keep up with. Israel seems to feel as if it is finally at peace. The world....much of it anyway....is signing on to....to what? We really don't even know yet. Nations with ancient....that is Old Testament identities....identities mentioned in that they will come against Israel in the last days....are aligning in a supposed security agreement for....Israel!
The Speaker of the Israeli Knesset only hours ago said this about Trump...."A giant of Jewish history....look back two and a half millennia into the mists of time to find a parallel: Cyrus the Great....President Donald J. Trump....you are a colossus who will be enshrined in history thousands of years from now. Mr. President....the Jewish people will remember you....your election to the presidency marked a turning point, not only for the United States.....but for the entire world."
From an historical....not Christian perspective....the Trump phenomenon is something to behold....for there have been few figures like this in modern history. The problem is....it is all fake. It's all a lie....and a delusion. We do not know how far the phenomenon will go on....or to what extent he will assume power in the future....particularly with the boost of the moment! He is either the primary precursor to the Antichrist....he is certainly at least that....or will be the Antichrist himself.
War is coming. God's Word has made that perfectly clear. That war will change the world order....and even the Christian can only speculate on the makeup of the coming New World Order....and how the events will transpire.
Trump told the members of the Knesset...."This is not only the end of a war....but the end of an age of terror and death....and the beginning of an age of faith and hope." He thanked..."the God of Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob"....and continued...."After so many years of unceasing war and endless danger....the sun also rises on a Holy Land that is finally at peace....It will be the Golden Age of Israel....and the Golden Age of the Middle East."
All of the above from Trump is nonsense....and false prophesies. Breitbart....the absolute worst of anything today calling itself news....proclaimed this a...."Trump Mideast Miracle"....and it is in a way....a false miracle and a false wonder. Will the Christian remember the warnings in God's Word of just such signs and wonders? A few will....most will not....not a this time anyway.
There have been many significant peace initiatives over the years....but none quite like this....because of the populist movement behind it....so it would be good to meditate on God's Word to us at a time like this....1 Thessalonians 5:3...."For when they say....'Peace and safety'....then sudden destruction comes upon them....as labor pains upon a pregnant woman....And they shall not escape."
