As President Trump Approaches his Third Year In Office, Christians Need To Be Reminded Why God Put Him There In The First Place

As President Trump Approaches his Third Year In Office, Christians Need To Be Reminded Why God Put Him There In The First Place by Geoffrey Grider The presidency of Barack Obama was God's direct judgment upon America, just as God making Saul king over Israel was actually a judgement on Israel. But the presidency of Donald Trump, on the other hand, is a judgment upon the world. Donald John Trump was elected as the 45th president of these United States by the sovereign act of an almighty God's will to place into power, and to remove from power, anyone He so chooses. So as we are passing the two and a half year mark of his presidency, a message from my pastor and a recent exchange with longtime NTEB reader Laura earlier today made me realize it was time to once again check in with some of the reasons behind why God would choose to use a man like Donald J. Trump. So let's take a look, shall we? "And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding: He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him." Daniel 2:21,22 (KJV) As I have said many times before, I did not start out as a Trump supporter, I was leaning towards Ted Cruz in the beginning. But after learning that the people behind Cruz, and perhaps Ted Cruz himself, began to speak about Cruz being God's 'anointed king' to bring about the 'end times wealth transfer', I began to look at other candidates. Being a Yankee from New Jersey, I had known about Donald Trump since the early 1980's. And, quite frankly, it was because I knew about him that I did not feel inclined to vote for him. But as I prayed for wisdom and guidance, the Holy Spirit began to lead me right to Trump's doorstep. And it had nothing to do with wanting to 'make America great again'. Don't get me wrong, I am the son of a WWII and Korea vet, and the brother of a United States Marine. I am as patriotic as they come. But as I bible believer and student of prophecy, I knew America's best days are behind her. Let me tell you why before I go any further. Judgment On America Began With The Election Of Barack Hussein Obama Back in 2012, I wrote an article entitled 'Obama Is The King God Has Given To Reign Over America In the Last Days', and in that article I spoke about how, in my opinion, God has started to judge America as a nation. I honestly did not think that America would survive much past 8 years of rule by the Kenyan Barry Soetoro, a true 'manchurian candidate' if ever there was one. But though we did survive Obama, and have continued forward, it sooned dawned on my that the judgement from God was going to continue under Donald Trump. Albeit for entirely different reasons than it did with Obama. "And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them. Now therefore hearken unto their voice: howbeit yet protest solemnly unto them, and shew them the manner of the king that shall reign over them." 1 Samuel 8:7,9 (KJV) The presidency of Barack Obama was God's direct judgment upon America, just as God making Saul king over Israel was actually a judgement on Israel for their rebellion against God. But the presidency of Donald Trump, on the other hand, is a judgment upon the world. And what better way to judge the world than by using the nation that has the world's largest economy and the world's strongest military - America! Why I Felt God Led Me To Support Donald Trump For President The first article I wrote, nearly a year before Trump was elected, is called 'Why A Bible Believer Is Supporting Donald Trump For President Of The United States", and in that article you can read why I felt the Lord chose me to support Donald Trump, warts and all. By this point, I was so sure that Trump would win because of what the Lord told me, I went out on a crazy limb and made this prediction: As I see it, Donald Trump will be the far-and-away winner for the Republican party nomination for president in 2016. Hands down. ...he will easily win in November in a landslide. Writing that article, and making that prediction had the near immediate effect of the following things. First, I got more hate mail, from other Christians, than you could shake a stick at. People were mad, very mad, at me for supporting Trump. The second thing that happened was people threatened to stop coming to NTEB, and guess what, they did! Almost overnight, our site went from over 1.3 million views a month to less than 300,000. Ouch. That's when I had to start doing some fundraising to keep NTEB online, prior to that I paid for everything from ad revenue the site generated. The incredible excitement I had felt at the first, knowing I had heard from the Lord that He would make Donald Trump president, and a whole a year before the election, was soon tempered by the start realization that being the one bringing that message also destroyed my income stream. But that's another story for another day. The second article I wrote in our 'The Last Trump' series was called 'The Real Reason Why Donald Trump Was Chosen To Be The Republican Candidate For President', and in it I make the case why I think God placed Donald Trump in power as a global judgment. I highly recommend that you click on these links to my previous articles, I promise you it will bring back many things you have already forgotten surrounding Trump's miraculous election. Why God Is Using President Trump To Judge The World The next article in the series I want to direct your attention to, and perhaps the most powerful, is called "The Global Shaking From A Trump Presidency We Warned You About Last Year Has Already Started". This was written mere weeks into his presidency, and even at that time, his election was already causing a shaking around the political world. Here is a brief snippet of how much of the world order began to shake in just that short span of time: “For thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land; And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts.” Haggai 2:6,7 (KJV) A RANDOM SAMPLINGS FROM HEADLINES IN TRUMP'S FIRST MONTH IN OFFICE: TRUMP CHALLENGES THE WORLD ORDER: President-elect Donald Trump is alarming critics by not only threatening to dispatch with political correctness but also disregarding the basic tenets of world order surrounding nuclear weapons. With a single tweet Thursday and then a follow-up chat with a television broadcaster on Friday, Trump entered the holiday weekend shaking up global affairs by stating an interest in vastly expanding the U.S. nuclear arsenal, even if it means restarting an arms race with Russia. source TRUMP WARNS UNITED NATIONS AFTER ISRAEL VOTE SAYS ‘THINGS WILL BE DIFFERENT NOW”: President-elect Donald Trump slammed the Obama administration for its decision not to veto a U.N. resolution critical of Israel’s settlements, promising that it would be “different” under his presidency. “As to the U.N., things will be different after Jan. 20th,” Trump tweeted Friday. source DONALD TRUMP SHAKES INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS: President-elect Donald Trump long ago earned a reputation for being unpredictable in his statements, but he outdid himself on Thursday. In the span of just a few hours, Trump shook international relations by undercutting the Obama administration over a UN resolution on Israeli settlements, indicated he would ramp up nuclear competition with Russia and then jolted a major defense contractor — and its shareholders — by suggesting he would ask Boeing to replace a fighter jet being made by Lockheed Martin. source TRUMP HAS THE GUTS TO MOVE U.S. EMBASSY TO JERUSALEM: U.S. Congressman Dave Brat and Congressman-elect Scott Taylor affirmed their belief that President-elect Donald Trump will make good on his promise to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem. “Trump’s priority in moving the embassy is a huge symbol,” Taylor told Breitbart Jerusalem on Monday at the Jerusalem Leaders Summit. “You’ve heard of other presidents who have started to do it but they end up not doing it, but I think he will. And I support it.” Congressman Dave Brat agreed: “Oh, he has the guts to do it.” source Wow, right? At that was just at the 4-week and three day mark, believe it or not! So, at this point, are you starting to remember and starting to see what I am talking about? Now look at the last 2.5 years of Trump's presidency, can you see God's hand of judgement on this world? If you still cannot see it, scan some of these headlines and it will all come rushing back to you. The Cup Of This World's Judgment Almost Full Now So, where does all this leave us? It leaves us in a day and age where babies are aborted and their still-warm flesh is sold to create 'humanized mice', and where lost people demand that the 'right' to have robot sex be protected under international law. It leaves us with politicians talking about forced sterilization of human beings to 'stop climate change', and the 'First Annual Christian Witches Convention' being held in Salem, Massachusetts. I could on on about the mayor of Landsdale, PA, proclaiming February 2nd to be called 'Inclusion Day' to commemorate indoctrinating school children with the LGBTQP 'story fun time' at the local library, or how France is replacing the words 'mother' and 'father'with 'parent 1' and 'parent 2'. And if all that doesn't do it for you, how about the Roman pope signing a 'universal peace covenant' with Islam? "For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country. And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned. But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city." Hebrews 11:14-16 (KJV) Christian, time is almost up, stop fooling yourself about reviving America's 'glory days', because it's not going to happen. The ship is going down, and we are called to get as many souls in to the lift raft that is Jesus Christ, that is our mission. Stop wasting your time arguing politics and start fishing for the souls of men! Our pastor at church this morning gave an incredible, soul-stirring message on 'preaching in your Jerusalem', which is to say where you are right now. You may be here tomorrow, but that person the Lord has put on your heart to take the gospel to may not be. Time to get busy, Christian, the footsteps of the Master draw near.
