It’s true; God has used despots to further His plans, many times. And I am a Trump supporter. But, I just have this nagging bit of Scripture at the back of my mind, “Even the elect will be fooled”. I pray He was referring to someone other than DJT or Vladimir Putin. Only He and that “man of sin”, to which God refers, here, knows the truth. Stay close to God and His Word, that we will not be fooled when the “man of sin” does appear, because if “even the elect will be fooled”, the rest of us are in grave spiritual danger. Just one more thought: Donald John Trump’s name, means “world ruler, graced by God, and trump -— to announce, or to triumph over. Does the Scripture prophesy of such a man, other than the “man of sin”?
I can easily believe the one leaving the WH is a disciple of the “man if sin.” In my view he has made his allegiance clear.
