Have no idea. God will chose who He wants and bless who He wants.

But Waltz is a child of the devil. Harris might be as well, or maybe just regular evil.

I believe he is part of a divine plan. God likes to select unlikely men and women to act in the world for him. He is here for a reason—I believe he knows this as well. His escape from death by an assassins bullet tells the story. Is hhe perfect? Nope. But will he take the wheel and move the ship of state from the rocks? Yes. He deserves to be on Mount Rushmore if he can do this.

If you believe that ... in 2016 Trump was God’s man, ... that also means that Biden was God’s man in 2020.

True.

In Exodus, God used Moses to lead his people out of Egypt. If you believe that, then you must also believe God used Pharoah as well --- to gather his children and convince them it was time to leave.

So God could have used Biden --- sure. Tulsi and RFK (just to name a few) have been convinced it's time to leave.

No one is saying Jesus is not the High Priest forever in the universe. But does God appoint men to handle affairs on earth? The Bible is full of men doing God's will on earth. My statement was about those that say God intervened in Trumps life that day, which He obviously did, so He could anoint His own servant to lead His people. God is looking for Shepherds, not kings, to lead His people.

All God's men were just men, but they did what God required of them at the time they were chosen.

This explains the confusion when we look with carnal eyes at men with their faults and cannot understand God is using them for His purposes. Men always have faults and aren't perfect, but you must look at them spiritually to see God working through them.

Time is short. I believe God allowed Biden to be president to get us to see how really rotten the world is, to compel us to turn to Him. The Bible clearly states that God sets up kingdoms, and as horrible as those kingdoms sometimes are, He does it for a reason, almost always to get his people to turn and repent. Even though the world grows more evil by the day, God’s people here and around the world have turned to God and prayed for Him to allow President Trump to be re-elected. As I said, time is short, and He wants as many people as possible to turn to Him before it’s too late, because, after all, eternity is what is most important.

...."Israel didn’t always win.".....

True, but they will win in the end. The Bible is about teaching lessons. God took personal interest in punishing Israel when they sinned. He always came to their rescue when they turned back to Him.

I will bless those who bless you,
and whoever curses you I will curse;
and all peoples on earth
will be blessed through you.”

Does not the leader of a county lead his people in whatever direction God chooses?

No, God is not choosing every leader's path. He allows leaders to be responsible for their actions. If a Jew in Old Testament times, following signs from God or acclamation from a prophet, etc., then, God is being followed, if deemed so appropriate.

God can harden hearts, too, but the decisions are still on those people.

If you think Muslim State leaders are following God's path for them, you have a very different understanding of the Bible than I do.

All these Trump cultist “Christian” numbskulls will have to explain themselves if Trump loses the election. What good is he alive if he is not president? To serve as your entertainer in chief? So you can leave the comfort of your worn out stinky sofas and la z boys to go to the big city and feel smug and safe at a pointless rally? (Because he’s still going to hold rallies even if he loses) so you can “0wN tHe liBz?” While they destroy you and your country? While you do nothing?

If President Trump loses, our country will be lost forever. I am ready for the rapture, win or lose, I’m looking forward to eternity with Jesus and God in heaven. What happens when President Trump’s second term is over? There will be the same lies, the same angst. It’s never going to end as long as the demonrats are around.

we’re all God’s man... relying on one man to straighten out our country is wishful thinking...

I guess you could say that God’s children will act in a self-sacrificial, Christ-like manner. Trump certainly has given up a lot for his country. This is extremely admirable and Christ-like, for sure. Meanwhile, as some theologians say, “The canon is closed.” There are no more types and shadows to point to the Lamb slain before the foundations of the world. On the cross, Jesus said, “It is finished.” Hebrews, in its first few verses, says that in the past God spoke to the fathers by way of the prophets. However, in these final days, he has, past tense, spoken to us by His Son. No one is left, except the Holy Spirit through scripture. The gospel is the power of God unto salvation. Next stop: consummation. “Come quickly, Lord Jesus!”

It is foolish to get into the same frame of mind as Leftists whose religion is government, all encompassing central govt that is unconstitutional at the minimum. These Leftists have taken on the mantle of fake “God’s servants” with accompanying elevation the “goodness” and “rightness” of what they do for the “God signaled” good of the Administrative State.

Read: Thomas Sowell’s “Visions of the Anointed”-— for a clear picture of just how silly and crazy is anointing oneself the arbiter of all, either in the Name of God, or not— the key is God is used for a kind of “washed in grace” self ascribed status to very mortal people.
Most of these Leftists have no Christian compass or belief- even though their religion is the tribe of govt. autocrats who direct all of us non-govt heathens.

I believe, or at least want to believe, that Trump is God’s man for the moment. Through Biblical history we know that God used flawed men to accomplish many great things for His Kingdom. We need to further to look at individuals like Samson and even David.

If it turns out he is not God’s man, then the implication is more dire. It’s a reasonable conclusion, in that case, that America has gone too far and God is preparing to pour His righteous wrath out upon the nation. After all, did God not in Biblical history allow Judah to be captured by the Babylonians and cause them to go into exile for a time? Who says God wouldn’t do the same to America, if He is indeed the same yesterday, today, and forever.

Above all, I would encourage all Christians in this one thing: Pray. Pray fervently and without ceasing that God’s will be done for America. If His will is judgment, then pray for the deliverance of the righteous. But pray. And know that no matter what happens, God sits in authority on His throne.

To stave it off in our lifetimes, my tagline is the answer. Deportations, arrests, and industrial sized engine block shredders installed on some large swath of federally owned land with prime time speedy trials, since Hollywood and the news networks will be shut down.

Corey Competore, the father who was shot and killed at the Butler rally, died while throwing himself over his two daughters. I’ve heard sermons saying he’s a type of Christ figure who gave his life to save others. He made the ultimate sacrifice, which is what Christians believe Jesus did for us. If you have trouble believing the gospel message, this firefighter showed us faith in action.
