Speaking of that last stage, I, too, have wondered about any Divine Influences positioning Trump to fulfill some purpose for which The Donald was chosen and life prepared to accomplish.
I usually have those sorts of candidate questions every election, but now, with these interesting times combined with the Cruz Family Gospel Show and Revival stumping the church circuit, for me those questions are irresistible.
While Team Cruz self-identified his as a Christian mission from God and specifically went after that segment of voter, Trump made no such claims about himself or his candidacy.
However, the way things have been working out, I keep wondering about it anyway, either in a "good" prophetic way or "bad".
Most notable to me, as you also pointed out, are the worldly forces aligning against Trump and throwing everything they have at him, and yet it all works against them and instead prospers him. Fascinating.
Second most notable is that the wise are confounded by him. They dump loads of calumny on him, while at the same time questioning him and his conservative credentials like a bunch of self-righteous Pharisees would do. Again, fascinating.
Personally, I honestly don't know what to make of it, but it catches and holds my attention. So, I'm holding pat with my opinion and working on my patience while watching and looking for clues and answers.
All I know is: Trump is not like the rest of them.
The rest appear to be of the Beast or in service to the Beast. No real surprises there. Situation normal in all respects.
But, otoh, after reviewing Trump's life and resume, along with his recent performances in the primaries thus far, to me, I don't think Trump is of the Beast.
Instead, Trump seems more like a Beast Whisperer/Beast tamer.
Hmmmm...."Beast Tamer"...I like it. Now that I would vote for.
That pretty much sums up what I have been observing and reading from the trail signs. Just take the Bible as literally true, except when it says, “This is a symbol of that.” It it says there is a Great Sign in the Heavens, then LOOK UP for a Great Sign in the Heavens.
Maranatha!
