Post Election

In a Representative Republic like the United States, Donald Trump is the winner.

Just like the news media and almost every person watching, I sit here this morning thinking about the surprising election results. Hillary’s supporters ignored a thirty year career of malfeasance on her part and voted Democrat anyway. Donald Trump supporters found  the candidate that reflected their disappointment with Congress and President Obama ways flawed in his own way. Both sides tried to cast aspersions upon the other by claiming it was all lies and that hostile foreign powers were attempting to interfere with our elections. Then the FBI director, James Comey, involved himself and muddied the waters even more. I believe it’s fairly obvious that the sum total of Hillary’s negatives eventually out weighed Trump’s negatives, but the predictions were wrong because many pro-Trump supporters held their tongues in order to avoid the abuse they knew would be heaped upon them by the media and liberals in general. As the song says, ‘That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.’

I sincerely hope, given time, all of this animosity will pass but judging from recent history I don’t believe that’s a realistic hope. I have already seen postings from Hillary supporters and anti-Trump people depicting the act of shooting the finger at Trump supporters with a litany of profanity attached. Now there is video of young Hillary supporters in California and Oregon protesting while burning the flag and setting trash cans on fire as well. It makes me angry and then I remember that scripture is being fulfilled and there is only one prophetic event left before the Tribulation, the Rapture.

I am sure of this because prophetic scripture promises a one-world-government led by a single man, the Antichrist, who has yet to be recognized upon entering the political scene. However, President Obama and Hillary Clinton have promoted world unification under the UN and the president has surrendered numerous U.S. rights to that world body so things are coming in line.

Prophecy tells us that Israel will be attacked by an alliance of numerous Middle Eastern nations and Russia, remember ‘Gog and Magog’ etc, and God will completely destroy those invading armies. Well, Russia’s influence in the Middle East is expanding and Russia is cooperating with them militarily. And just why is such a tiny nation like Israel the center of world wide attention? It make you wonder doesn’t it?  If not it should make you wonder.

So many world events and national alliances are fitting together like a puzzle, completing Bible prophecy that I am convinced that I will see the Rapture in my life time, like maybe today. Just in case you’ve never heard of the Rapture, it’s the event when Jesus calls all those who believe in Him up to meet him in the third Heaven and that marks the beginning of the Tribulation period. The Tribulation will last seven years, the first three and a half will be a time of turmoil while the Antichrist organizes his kingdom. As the second half begins, he will declare himself god in the third Jewish Temple on Mount Zion and then all the real scary prophetic events begin. There will be crucifixions, beheadings and even the appearance of demonic creatures from the pit that will make followers of the antichrist suffer in ways you can’t even imagine.

You may think all of this is a fairy tale but it is not. Now that the reader has been warned, each is responsible for their own fate. Will Donald Trump’s election somehow delay these events? No, God has His timetable and it will end when He has so ordained. I do believe, however, that Trump can help arrange for the U.S. to be on the side of Israel until the Rapture occurs which will lessen the judgement upon our nation.

There is a division in our nation, but it’s not just a political divide, it’s a moral divide. Secular freedom, turning away from God, is on one side and Christian faith on the other side. Christians are called upon to stand against this secular trend by sharing their faith and being obedient to God. We will lose the battle, but trust me, Jesus will win the war.
