Well, maybe you should enlist the POPE to run. How’s that for an answer to you!
I wonder how many FR people - who were appalled when Obama told his supporters to “get in the face” of opponents - are now applauding Trump when he says he would like to punch a heckler? Probably quite a few.
Because The Lord would never use someone like Trump for His own purposes.
The article itself is kind of the standard “my moral judgement is the best judgement so you should vote the way I tell you” fare, but some of the conversation in the comments is pretty interesting.
Thanks for sharing!
Peter T. Elliott should have run.
Evangelicals, as well as the public in general, are wary of he who wears his religion on his sleeve.
The “God sent me to.....” whatever too often is the theme of either the misguided or the con man.
Evangelicals think the Pope is the Antichrist and the Catholic Church is the Whore of Babylon.
So if Evangelicals think Trump is the Second Coming, that should be expected.
You see it’s so simple, if you consider yourself evangelical and you support Trump, then you are BLIND!
Whereas, if you consider yourself evangelical and support anybody but Trump, then you’re likely ENLIGHTENED and ALL-SEEING, and probably smart too!
Ok? Clear now?
I notice a number of these “shaming” articles are starting to pop up from our side to those supporting Trump. The shame belongs to the entire Republican elected class who haven’t done diddly squat to push back against the left’s all out assault on America.
Electing Obama was the sin, electing Trump will be the punishment.
Evangelicals know that Reverend Cruz is a false prophet
The nation that has killed 55 million babies is under judgement from YHWH. He is done with the United States of America.
We have been under judgement ever since the 1962 School Prayer ruling. The first official Muslim Brotherhood front organization founded in the U.S. was the Muslim Students Association (MSA), established on the Urbana-Champaign campus of the University of Illinois in 1964. The Muslim Brotherhood is a type of the Assyrian that YHWH used to bring judgement on the 10 tribes that made up Israel. Al Qaeda is an off-shoot of the Muslim Brotherhood. Their 9/11 attack was a perfect fulfillment of Isaiah 9:8-13.
Since the 1973 Roe v. Wade things have really gotten worse. Since then we have never won a war, before then we never lost one. With Obama we finally got Isaiah 3:4-5 “I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them. The people will be oppressed, everyone by another and every one by his neighbor; The child will be insolent toward the elder and the base to the honorable.”
All this moral decay was initiated by Judges, just as the moral decay in Sodom and Gomorrah was, according to the Jewish sages, initiated by Judges. That puts us as “in the days of Lot” (Luke 17:28-37). The “great sign in the heavens” from Revelation 12:1-2 actually occurs on September 23-24, 2017.

So Ted Cruz is “in this race to show this country the face of the God that we serve”, as his wife has stated, which is part of the Dominion Heresy (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominion_Theology), that believes that Conservative Christians need to take control of the secular government and rule over the non-Christians, for the good of all, of course.
Now if you believe that anything that we, as humans, can do will change the judgement to come, then you are not paying attention. But you are paying attention, so now you know why it is not a good idea to support Ted Cruz.
As for Donald Trump, I view him as a type of Samson, whom YHWH raised up to bring down the Temple of Dagon on the Philistines. Read Judges 13-16 and then look at the characteristics Donald Trump shares with Samson: Doesn’t drink, ever; has really wild hair; is really harsh if you treat him badly or unfairly; ran around with a lot of foreign women.
Now look at Donald Trump’s slogan: “Make America Great Again”. Alexis de Tocqueville said: “America is great because she is good. If America ceases to be good, America will cease to be great.” Donald Trump knows that in a country overrun with Philistines one can not campaign on “Make America Good Again”. However, if you look at what he says he will do, how offended he is by people lying about him, how offended he is with dirty tricks, how he hates the corruption in American government, etc. you know that he is trying to do is make America good again. So Donald Trump is bringing people out of the shadows, so to speak, and giving them hope that things can be better. This puts them out in the world where the Holy Spirit can bring believers into contact with those who are to be saved. So that is the spiritual aspect of the Trump campaign.
On the Bible Prophecy side, how is YHWH going to convince the Iranians that 2017 would be about the last time they, with their allies, can wipe out the United States and attack Israel to wipe it off the map?
How about we elect Donald Trump and he starts to make the American Military so strong that no one will want to mess with us? How about if he starts to root out the Muslim Brotherhood infiltration of the Government? In fact, the threat of having Donald Trump in the Whitehouse may well trigger the attack that is described in Ezekiel 38:10-13, which YHWH does not stop, so that the attack in Ezekiel 38:14-23, which YHWH will stop can take place. Then the End will come.
When the world gets to these critical points, there isn’t anything one can do to change the course set by YHWH for the world. It is much easier if you focus on that narrow way YHWH has for you to do as your part in His magnificent Word.
You really don’t know what you’re taking about.
Since you’ve cherry picked Scripture to do your own judging, maybe you should also consider Matthew 7: —1 Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
Have a nice day. We will pray for you.
I actually question the faith of “evangelicals” that support Trump; he is the total antithesis of whom they should support according to God’s Word. He is in the mold of an anti-christ...the reaction of many of his supporters should actually be shocking to true Christians (you would think that the Beatles had walked into the room). Very disturbing.
Good article. A lot of people seem hellbent on electing a narcissist like Trump. Understandable. He’s just the “Republican” version of the very narcissistic Obama, and the American people elected him. Twice.
A lot of people on this board blindly support him no matter what he says or does. Sadly, that’s the same Kool-Aid that the dimmos drink for their leaders. It’s a form of idolatry. They worship him, and anytime anything is said against their idol, they react as if a blasphemy has been committed. That’s why they get so upset.
There would be a lot more civility if people removed the worship from the equation. Don’t be afraid to admit the shortcomings of your candidate. Recognize that Trump is a narcissist and not a conservative at all. Recognize that Cruz apparently surrounded himself with bad help (assuming he wasn’t the author of the dirty tricks). Recognize that Rubio is now the establishment candidate and therefore clearly part of the problem. Etc.
Worship Someone worthy of worship. None of the presidential candidates are worthy of worship.
We are coming full circle. The end is like unto the beginning. Trump is an alpha, and alphas build walls and towers and all kinds of stuff. Don’t you know that? Never mind that inside he is a child. Nimrod(Hebrew root: rebel) the mighty one built a tower; no not Trump Towers, the Tower at Babel. He was made king based on his greatness and he promised security(Josephus’s account). People looked upon him with awe. But the kingdom he built turned into tyranny. This same scenario repeats over and again throughout history and ends with the eventual breakup of the kingdom. Trump is “Nimrod”? Time will tell.
meh
Overly simplistic
In book 1, chapter 4 of, Antiquities of the Jews, the Jewish historian Flavius Josephus, also wrote an account of this collectivist kingdom which provides us with more insight:
Now it was Nimrod who excited them to such an affront and contempt of God. He was the grandson of Ham, the son of Noah, a bold man, and of great strength of hand. He persuaded them not to ascribe it to God, as if it was through his means they were happy, but to believe that it was their own courage which procured that happiness. He also gradually changed the government into tyranny, seeing no other way of turning men from the fear of God, but to bring them into a constant dependence on his [government] power. Now the multitude were very ready to follow the determination of Nimrod, and to esteem it a piece of cowardice to submit to God.
