I hope you are right Jim, and while I too believe Trump is evidence of a chance to avoid what’s coming, I have an unease that we are underestimating TPTB in control of this world at the moment, and what could have been, will be just that.
No, Trump isn’t going to make it happen, God through His people will do that. Trump is only evidence of God’s good plans that he has in mind for the next few decades before it all comes crashing down.
Remember, when it comes to the end times - the main subject of I & II Thessalonians - the recurring theme is God’s “COMFORT” for his people (1 Thessalonians 2:11; 3:2,7; 4:18; 5:11,14; 2 Thessalonians 2:17).
God wants us to rest in his goodness and to NOT be afraid. When it is time for God to judge the earth whereby almost the whole world will die in the Tribulation, he will come for us as a thief in the night (1 Thessalonians 5:2). He will always take care of us. Thank you Jesus.
