If we actually believed God's Word like we tell everybody that we do....we would have from day one had nothing to do with Donald Trump....but today we cherry pick what we want to accept as God's Word. We are told to stay away from people like this....that they will lead to nothing but disaster....but our....in reality....weak faith and trust in God's written word....shows itself when the matter for concern is our own personal happiness. We would never say the words or even admit to the possibility....but we are in effect telling God to back off with the advice....because we have real problems here....and we are going to fix them our way.
"And Jesus answered and said unto them. Take heed that no man deceives you..." Matthew 24:4
Donald Trump's whole life has been built on deception. He lies literally every day of his life. Early in his first term is was so obvious...that within a few days....Rush and Hannity and Levin....all admitted that he lies....but they said...."That's just Trump."
"And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many." Matthew 24:11
For ten years now Trump has....prophesied to us....that the best was yet to come....and that we were going to keep winning...winning...winning....and now it is that we are beginning a new Golden Age. God's Word....tells us the exact....the exact opposite!
"Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, that they may believe what is false." 1 Thessalonians 2:11
The only explanation on why evangelicals have not rejected this man is that God has blinded their eyes to who he is....and this because we wanted our own strong leader....more than the King of Kings!
"But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self."
Is this not Donald Trump....and has he not flattered us with....America First?
lovers of money,
Donald Trump's life is based on the love of money.
proud.
All of Trump's revenge-lust is built around pride.
arrogant,
Have you ever witnessed a man more arrogant?
abusive,
Have you ever witnessed a man more abusive to anyone who dares not to bow down to him?
disobedient to their parents.
Did Trump follow his father's wishes....with his fortune....as his father neared death....or did he simply do what he wanted to do?
ungrateful,
Trump thinks that he deserves anything and everything that he even wants.
unholy,
The word used most often with Trump has been....vile.
heartless,
Trump will fire anybody....or destroy anybody....who does not do exactly what he wants.
unappeasable,
His aides cringe whenever Trump goes off script....for he cannot control himself.
not loving good.
There is no good or bad with Trump. Everything is transactional.
swollen with conceit,
At one time...but no more....it was comical to hear Trump tell someone that he is the greatest at something.
lover of pleasure rather than lovers of God.
God is an annoyance to Trump....but he knows....for now anyway....that he needs evangelicals.
having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power,
He says something like...."God bless this or that"....all the time....but has no fear of God.
avoid such people. 2 Timothy 3:1-5
Folks....everything here....above and below....is Donald Trump.
"Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits." (Matthew 7:15-16a)
The man came down that escalator right smack in the middle of evangelicalism. Donald Trump has proved in his second term that he is indeed one of the "ravening wolves"....look at the fruits....he has turned evangelicals away....away from trust in Christ....into a mob seeking vengeance.
"Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world..." 1 John 4:1
When someone like Jonathan Cahn comes to us....with bestseller after bestseller of mystical speculation and genealogies....telling us how God gave us Trump....try that spirit!
"For there shall be false Christs and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible they shall deceive the very elect." Matthew 24:24
Trump's return from what should have been oblivion.....we view as a great sign and wonder....do you not see that this delusion would be so strong that even Christians would be tempted to believe it?
"....for by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple." Romans 16:18
We have been transformed into a rally culture....where the constant....hundreds of rallies and thousands of tweets....and the music.....and Air Force One zooming down to deliver the charismatic deceiver into the middle of the now simple-minded.
"but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears..." 2 Timothy. 4:3
Fox and podcasters....and authors like Jonathan Cahn....this is what our "itching ears" wanted to hear!
"For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace..." 1 Corinthians 14:33
Trump has often boasted...."fear is power"..."I bring out rage. I always have"
"...they are prophesying to you false visions, divinations, idolatries and delusions of their own minds." Jeremiah 14:14
A new golden age is a false vision
"...they fill you with false hopes..." Jeremiah 23:16
Peace in the Middle East....through vain threats and intimidations and bribes....are false hopes.
"Woe to you when everyone speaks well of you, for that is how their ancestors treated the false prophets." Luke 6:26
For ten years Trump has flattered with his rally proclamations....whatever state he is in...."the great state of"....and whatever congressman that will be on the dais with him will.... "your great representative"....and telling the people what great patriots they are.
"in their greed these teachers will exploit you with fabricated stories." 2 Peter 2
Trump built his rallies on his final words....that we are...."one glorious nation under God"....where in reality we anything but...."one glorious nation under God"....as we merely use His name to justify our lusts.
"Thus says the Lord GOD, woe to the foolish prophets who follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing. Your prophets have been like jackals among the ruins..." Ezekiel 13
This is almost the entire charismatic movement in the church today....filled with false prophets and supposed apostles....taking the money of poor widows and the simple-minded....as seed offerings.
"For when they say 'Peace and safety' then sudden destruction comes upon them..." 1 Thessalonians 5:3
Trump only wants a limited peace in the Middle East....because he cannot think beyond the present....not does he really care about the future....beyond his own glorification.
