...Now, until recently, the thought of anyone actually saying that the Lord Jesus would want a particular candidate to win an election had never crossed my mind. I have never personally prayed for a candidate to win nor a sports team etc, etc. I know I have prayed the Lord to pull my rear out of some situations and thankfully He has heard and guided me, although not always in the way I thought it would happen.
I do also believe that God has intervened in many an event not only in world history but in the very founding of this country. If you are one of those people that want to believe that the United States was founded by chance and some of the greatest minds in human history just happened to be around the same place at the same time and that was just a coincidence, I find your lack of faith extremely amusing. This country was founded by men and women who not only believed in the almighty but truly believed He was guiding their hands in the events of their time and I also believe this to be true.
Now, even with my firm belief of intervention from heaven always possible, I just never considered praying for a particular candidate to win but rather left it up to the Lord’s will to be done on Earth as it is in Heaven. I was more than content to leave it there and deal with whatever comes our way as a nation or state.
Yet, on the Thursday after the election, I had the clearest and most concise thought of “praying” for Donald Trump to be declared the winner pop into my head....

Yes it includes all of the bad rulers as well as the good ones, from our perspective. Old example, Saul, Israel’s first King, was a bad ruler from the people’s perspective, but he preceded the greatest King Israel ever had. Saul was picked by God for his mission. Modern day example: it would have been nearly impossible for Donald Trump to be elected if he were not preceded by 8 years of the worst President ever, Obama. We can only see what is immediately in front of us, in this time and place. We do not have the perspective of God, whose vision for us extends over millennia. You might say that He has the long plan. I am reminded of Daniel 4:17 in the Bible:
“‘The decision is announced by messengers, the holy ones declare the verdict, so that the living may know that the Most High is sovereign over all kingdoms on earth and gives them to anyone he wishes and sets over them the lowliest of people.’
I firmly believe that if God has a mission for Donald Trump as a second term President, he will be sworn in - perhaps on January 20th, 2021.
The Bible predicts the exact behavior we are experiencing. In these times....
You are not far from the Kingdom of God.
Remember "Marshal" Law, because it's the Law named after some guy, obviously. People are calling for it, for him.
Daniel 5:21. Last part of verse 21
If God had a hand in creating mankind's machinations, then Communism is as good as Capitalism because God made both? Did God create totalitarianism, monarchies and despots? All were legitimate forms of rule at one time or another. Slavery was acceptable in the Bible, God even gave Moses laws on managing slaves. So God created slavery, how can it be bad? These dichotomy's exist all through out the Bible. God gave us the Bible to guide us, to teach us and show us the way back to him. Not to predict the future. Just my beliefs.
“Does that include, Mao, Stalin, Lenin, Castro, and Pol Pot?”
Sadly, yes. We don’t know why, and we see situations only from a human perspective.
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.” Isaiah 55:8-13
Cracking me up about Chris Christie!
😻😹😍
“Why rich people would embrace Commies is beyond me.”
If rich people DIDN’T embrace Commies, it would be beyond me. They’re confident that they’ll be in the top/elite level of the new caste system. And they’re correct.
He allows things to happen. Not necessarily the outcome that would be the best but the one that we as sinful people deserve.
Our Lady already warned of this at Fatima. The errors of Russia keep on spreading. Yet we did not listen. Abortion is rampant, that alone is worthy of horrific punishment. Even the good get chastised with the evil in some form or another.
It’s best we keep before us always the Four Last Things and act accordingly.
February at night.
So cold here in Georgia this time of year.
President Biden is on TV.
He is amazing. Everyone says so.
Outside, away from it all, looking up -
No heavenly sky awaits, only
A Cloudless sky,
Without stars,
Without a moon,
Nothingness
“God does not give two $—ts about governments and man-made offices.”
That’s why He never got involved with all the rulers of the Old Testament. And there aren’t books of the Bible with names like “Kings” and “Judges” — about kings and judges. And there are no kings David, Solomon, etc., that He had nothing to do with. And in the New Testament there are things like Matthew 22:21: “Jesus said “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s”
Other than those kinds of things, “God does not give two $—ts about governments and man-made offices.”
“Trump will stay in office. I’ve never doubted this for a moment.”
I’m with you. Around me my family is freaking out, but I have felt confident that Trump will have his second term starting in 2021. I understand that I could be living in a fool’s paradise, but the probability of Biden being president is something I can’t consider; it’s like it’s not “a thing”, really.
God is an absentee land lord at best.
Kurgan: “...he cares about these helpless mortals...”
Priest: “Of course he cares. He died for their sins.”
Kurgan: “That shall be his undoing.”
The Prophetic community, who have predicted Trump in 2016 and still get prophecy to this day all say Trump will get in. God is exposing everything. His victory is coming.
I have no doubt this will happen.Live in faith. Follow the prophets. They predicted all of this
If god wants Trump, then it will be done. People doubted God even after he saved the Hebrews from slavery (doubted him), parted the sea (doubted him),- after “seeing” all that they make a golden calf for there God and commit terrible sins.

There was one big difference with the comparison though.
The general population in Germany was unarmed. We are not.
Although like you, I see hyper inflation coming, it will result in an out and out revolution. Or at least it should.
Before that all happens though. I suspect we will see secession and I really expect to see the “red” States split off. That will take away the important commodities away from the scum blue states.
The only “blue” states that might have any chance at all of survival would be the great lakes states, and I doubt they’ll even survive, although they would have some food production capabilities. Problem is, they will strangle that with their obnoxious eco laws.
That is how dumb these commies are, they will starves before they let go of their control.
But your right..it will be really something to behold.
BTW OG..China wants our food. People can howl and scream all they want about China wanting IT and all that, but they need our food.
God doesn’t care one bit more about this country than he does Uganda or Somalia.
I don’t put any stock in “prophetic communities” — sorcery. But I believe Trump will get in.
98% of me wants Trump to pull this off. The other 2% of me doesn’t want to see him and his family put through hell another fours when half the country doesn’t appreciate or deserve him.
Early interpretations vary, but the one I like was when Jesus said show me the coin with which you would pay the tax. They showed him a Roman coin with Caesar's image on it. Jesus avoided the trap in a very sarcastic manner by looking at the coin and saying render under Caesar that which is Caesar's. In other words give him back his coin.
Later the church, conveniently I believe, interpreted this to mean render authority to the church. It has been used to describe the separation of church and state. As for those Kings you mentioned they had to be anointed by God's Prophet and had to come from the House of David. Jesus was the last Prophet and a descendant of the House of David. King Herod was none of the above? Yet he was the King of the Jews? Did God appoint him? God gave us free will, he gave us a mind and instructed us to use it. He let’s us screw our lives up in any possible way we choose. God does not create Governments, policies or leaders. If he did, why the hell did he create Pol Pot? What did the Cambodians do to deserve that? God blesses us if we follow him, God simple turns his back on us (metaphorically) if we turn from him. Just as he warned the Jewish people he would. They did not listen and they spent a thousand years in Diaspora. God let’s us wallow in our own filth until we realize we need him. Then we return to his laws and we prosper again. We prosper because his laws are a rule and guide laid out for us in the form of the Bible. Again, just my beliefs not saying I am right and others are not.
