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. See the image at: http://i.ytimg.com/vi/_1y_hLqVXf4/maxresdefault.jpg

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.

The only thing worse than Donald Trump's LIES, Flipp-Flopping, "Brown-Shirt style" threats of physical violence against protestors ...

is the genuinely pathetic excuse-making by his followers, such as "USAFA92's".

This is HOW Rev. Jim Jones persuaded his followers to drink the poison cool-aide.

Donald Trump "starts" a lie about Ted Cruz leaving Nevada ... and his cult-fans LOVE it ...



Donald Trump deserves congratulations after winning NH, SC and NV. It's politics.

But sometimes, as in NFL-NBA sports, the "winners" turn out to be complete @ssholes.



If "anyone" at Free Republic publicly threatened to punch the lights out of a guy standing across the street (exercising his first amendment rights) ...

"We" would be arrested and have our @ss thrown in jail.



Not The Donald, or Hillary either (funny how they both LOVE Planned Parenthood).

Draw your own conclusions.

Maybe some animals are INDEED more equal than others ...

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.

... because we’re tired of the ‘blind ideology’ litmus to correct the most serious problems that we have in this sinking ship of a country! The people are FED UP with the utter trashing of this country by the radical leftists, that we can’t sit here and wait for some ideal “Pastor in Chief” in-waiting to rescue us.

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.

I certainly agree with you that we, and all the other nations, are under judgment from YHWH; I especially like Psalm 2 which clearly states the reason for that judgment, in the LORD’s response.

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.

It was a disingenuous argument - I’m not saying there is a religious test, but there is a religious test.

Peddle the theocracy next election cycle. No one is buying the BS this time round.

Deal with it.

Psalm 2
1 Why do the nations rage, And the people plot a vain thing?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, And the rulers take counsel together, Against the LORD and against His Anointed, saying,
3 “Let us break Their bonds in pieces And cast away Their cords from us.”
4 He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; The LORD shall hold them in derision.
5 Then He shall speak to them in His wrath, And distress them in His deep displeasure:
6 “Yet I have set My King On My holy hill of Zion.”
7 “I will declare the decree: The LORD has said to Me, ‘You are My Son, Today I have begotten You.
8 Ask of Me, and I will give You The nations for Your inheritance, And the ends of the earth for Your possession.
9 You shall break them with a rod of iron; You shall dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel.’ “
10 Now therefore, be wise, O kings; Be instructed, you judges of the earth.
11 Serve the LORD with fear, And rejoice with trembling.
12 Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, And you perish in the way, When His wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him.

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.

there is no religious test for office

I have one: Fear God. Any leader who does not fear God is putting his people at incredible peril.

Indeed. Take Trump's latter day conversion to pro-life with a grain of salt. 60 year old men don't suddenly have change of hearts like that.

Indeed. God allowed a good conservative justice to die. Why is it liberals get to live?

Good post. A point out as well that Trump supported bail outs.
