Dear friends, say whatever you want about President Donald Trump, love him or hate him; however, if you are objective and real; you will have to admit that Donald Trump seeks much of our Founding Father's vision in our EXPONENTIALLY technological/ post Judeo/Christian culture here in America! It is absolutely amazing how the demonic legions here in America absolutely hate and despise him (Rom. 1:18-32, Jude 1:10)! They are indeed the children and offspring of Alinsky's master! Their EXPONENTIAL evil zeal and lawless moral relativistic thinking and rage have been on full parade since 2015! If these absolutely hate President Trump who is just a man, how much more do you think that they would hate the ETERNAL Lord of Glory; the Lord Jesus Christ!
Now my dear friends, let's kick it up ETERNALLY, PERFECTLY and RIGHTEOUSLY! Let's say... that the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the ETERNAL WORD of Almighty God (John 1:1-14), The FATHER of ETERNITY (Isa. 9:6, Rev. 1:11; 22:13), The Alpha and Omega/ First and Last (Isa. 9:6; 44:6, Rev. 1:11; 22:13), the Risen Savior and sin-bearer of ALL humanity (Psalm 110:1, Matt. 28:6, John 11:25, Rev. 1:17-18; 21:22-23; 22:3-5), the ETERNAL LORD and posser of the "Keys of Death and Sheol (Psalm 110:1, John 11:25, Phil. 2:5-11, Rev. 1:17-18; Rev. 19:21) came to the "land of the free" today? What do you believe the majority of Americans would do with Him? Would the "Word made Flesh" be received and welcomed as the Savior of the world? Would "church" goers receive Him with open arms? Would the socially dependent so-called "poor", rich and government/educational elites welcome Him with open arms? Would the conservative and leftist media outlets have good things to say about Him? Would His countless miracles of healing the lame, blind, sick and demon-possessed win over the masses from sea to shining sea? Well... Tragically the heart of a man is NOT changed by witnessing signs and wonders (Matt. 13, Rom. 10:17). Man will just about justify, excuse and do anything rather than changing and repenting to Almighty God's saving grace (John 3:19-21, Rom. 1:18-32). The history of mankind is full of such godless testimonies (Psalm 106:7, John 5:1-18, Acts 2:22-23, Rev. 11:3-13, Rev. 20:6-15). I guarantee you that the majority of Americans; who would have seen Jesus; would in like manner (Liberals and Conservatives); by the end of His 3 1/2 year "American" ministry; would have had enough of Him, His ETERNAL realities, His cries of repentance to a lost and dying world, and would in national unison shout; CRUCIFY Him and put Him to death! The country we live in today has absolutely NO PLACE for Almighty God, RIGHTEOUSNESS, REPENTANCE, the Bible or the Lord Jesus Christ! So when push comes to shove and the chips are down, when one's back is up against the wall; the true nature of an individual is then revealed and it "ain't" pretty! Such was the heart in Jesus' day and such is the heart of our day.
As it were, Jesus (at His visitation) had absolutely dominated the “news cycle” of His day for 3 ½ years! Jesus would have been constantly talked about in all of the newspapers and on all of the radio talk shows, blogs and mainstream media outlets. The Sadducee and Pharisee talk show hosts of that day would ignorantly miss represent Him to the kool-aid drinking Israeli masses of conservatives and liberal Jews of Jesus day. His enemies would have be on 24/7 slandering campaigns to change and curb public opinion against Him. His WONDERFUL WORDS OF LIFE and ETERNAL REDEMPTION to a doomed and fallen world would have been called intolerant, hate speech, bigoted and satanic-phobia. There would have been constant polls questioning and asking, “Is Jesus the Messiah?” “Is He good for Israel?” “Do you believe that Jesus is God? etc. Religious and political hacks would have followed Him around Israel protesting, misrepresenting and misquoting His words, miracles and wonders to their godless doom! Those in opposition along with government bureaucrats would have sought to limit where Jesus was to speak and sent their spies out to follow Him to gather incriminating evidence against Him. The unbelieving Israeli socialists would have wanted Jesus to run for leadership as a socialist “cradle to grave” provider of the people without ever addressing their ETERNAL needs. Conservatives would have wanted Jesus to run for office to instill a conservative utopia (in this fallen world) where the people can honor God according to their “OWN” conservative mindset while REJECTING Almighty God’s ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS provision for ETERNITY (Rom. 10:2-4). The poor would have wanted something for nothing and the rich low taxes to grow the economy and their “worldly” business.
Unbelief, is unbelief, is unbelief, is unbelief! If it quacks like an unbelieving duck and walks like an unbelieving duck it is an unbelieving duck! It was so in Jesus Day and it is so in our day!
My friends NOTHING is EVER new under the sun! ABSOLUTELY NOTHING (Eccl. 1)! Whether conservative unbelief or liberal unbelief (politically or religiously), Unbelief, is unbelief, is unbelief, is unbelief! If it quacks like an unbelieving duck, and walks like an unbelieving duck, it is an unbelieving duck! It was so in Jesus' day and it is so in our day! Lucifer has - then and today - the same playbook and countless unbelieving godless demonic kool-aid drinkers to do his will (1 Cor. 4:3-4, Eph 2:2-3); who (conservative, moderate and liberal) REJECT Almighty God’s saving grace; which comes ONLY by His dear Son Jesus Messiah (John 3:16-21, 14:6, Acts 4:12). Conservative, Moderate, Liberal, Progressive etc… ALL are lost and ALL are fallen (Rom. 3:23, 5:12-21). Whatever part of the spectrum one might fall in, we are ALL equally a broken egg who desperately needs redemption and Almighty God's PERFECT atoning propitiation (Rom. 3:23, 5:12-21, 1 John 4:10)! That my dear friend is the bottom line and is our greatest need for our temporal existence here in time for today (Rom. 6:23).
May I ask YOU this very simple question? If the Lord Jesus came today to America, would YOU receive Him as your Savior? The test to see for yourself is will YOU receive God's Word witness to Who He was? That is always the crossroad for an individual. A "Christian" ideology will not save you. A moral life will not save you. ONLY faith in the Person and Work of Jesus Christ will SAVE you from the wrath to come (John 3:16-17,36, 1 Thess. 1:10). My dear friend, see for yourself and take this simple challenge from Almighty God's Book. It will be then and there that YOU will see if - in the end - you would have yelled with the multitudes 2000 years ago "CRUCIFY HIM!!" or SAVE ME, Lord Jesus! In the end, the choice is ALL yours. would will it be? May you choose life, my dear friend!
The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
The President would be the first to discourage any comparison between himself and Our Lord.
He may show up soon, but not the way he did the first time. He warned that when he returns the world will be like it was in the days of Noah and Lot. Look around, I could not think of a better way to describe the world today. Be ready in your heart before the trumpet sounds because at that moment there will not be another chance at redemption and forgiveness and you will stand alone before God for judgement. I have the best lawyer in heaven (possibly the only one), Jesus!
That’s exactly what WILL happen.
The Bible says it. After these crazed Leftist Jihdists kill everyone else (the “infidels”) they all gather to “destroy” the Lord Jesus as he returns. But SURPRISE! They are all melted like butter in the face of His might and glory as the spirit of his mouth cuts them down like a knife through butter (Rev. 19:15-21).
Well they killed Him then for what He said; they most likely would try, try, to do it again.
Excellent post Tony.
Anyone besides me have trouble reading something interrupted with as many references (___) stuck in (___) the middle of an artical(___) like this one?
I was not the best in english class, but I remember that reference go at the end.
Makes readind smoother
bkmk
When Jesus comes, there’s not going to be any hating. “Every knee shall bow.” It’s going to be a stupendous event.
History teaches that Jesus doesn’t fit expectations. So basically the established religious experts and their devoted followers are the ones hit hardest.
A real shame, too. Christ... a fine Christian man, hence the root of the word itself. The one to follow (emulate).
As I’ve been saying, buy American flags before the rush.
“ONLY faith in the Person and Work of Jesus Christ will SAVE you from the wrath to come (John 3:16-17,36, 1 Thess. 1:10). “
What if I am one of the ones taught about that God does not plant the desire to have faith?
Can I be saved?
Jesus made the comparison about how he was hated and the apostles would be too, so why not say some one trying in some ways to follow Jesus or the word of God or even just the USA founding on Biblical principles (Trump) may be hated as surely those same haters (dems etc) would likely dislike having Jesus Christ himself around today in the flesh? It’s more a comparison of what is being done by certain people - not saying Trump IS jesus.
yes every knee shall bow and tongue confess. maybe I missed or mistook something in the bible but I think it infers even those condemned will bow and confess - so, some may do so but not initially of their own free will.
True, but if they hate a man who seeks simple Judeo/Christian values on many levels what about Jesus Christ who is the ETETERNL sum thereof, the Creator, Redeemer and who is Almighty God the Son?
Got to read the whole post kid to get what the post is saying... :)
Amen, that’s the point, the Day of the Lord is at hand and we can read how that will go... Rev. 6-19
Whosoevers and freewill; Isa. 55:1 John 1:12, 3:16-17,
facts!!
My thought is if you really did not have the desire you would not have asked the question.

My friends NOTHING is EVER new under the sun! ABSOLUTELY NOTHING
Nope.
I'm currently reading Augustine's City of God, written in the early 5th century. When he pulls up examples from Roman history, the names of the people, places and wars are different, but it all sounds very familiar.
"Let the terse summary of Sallust" (Rom historian, 86-35BC) " suffice to intimate the misery of the republic through all that long period till the second Punic war,—how it was distracted from without by unceasing wars, and torn with civil broils and dissensions. So that those victories they boast were not the substantial joys of the happy, but the empty comforts of wretched men, and seductive incitements to turbulent men to concoct disasters upon disasters. ...(quoting Sallust again)“Frequent mobs, seditions, and at last civil wars, became common, while a few leading men on whom the masses were dependent, affected supreme power under the seemly pretense of seeking the good of senate and people; citizens were judged good or bad without reference to their loyalty to the republic (for all were equally corrupt); but the wealthy and dangerously powerful were esteemed good citizens, because they maintained the existing state of things.”
We have or have had posters even here who unapologetically disparage the Bible and its morality, such as damning teachings of it on child discipline and birth control (even advocating schools giving condoms to teens) and inferring the Bible sanctions pedophilia.
