There is also an evangelical/ charismatic type by the name of Kim Clement who prophesied the same in 2007.

Here,s a link to an article.

Apparently this was recorded then.

FWIW, I am a HUGE skeptic o people who claim to be prophets and have a word from God.

However, this one seems to have been accurate.

One of the rare times when we disagree.I agree with you on tax credits and charter schools, but not vouchers. Ultimately he who pays the piper calls the tune. Vouchers will inevitably become a tool to enforce social views on parents.

I think it’s the final shakedown before God ushers in the Tribulation.

Here is a comment where I explained it.

I agree that we are in the last days.

I think what’s happened is that God let us have obama for 8 years and this country sunk like a rock but it was forcing His people, or those who claimed to be His people, to choose sides. He’s weeding out who are really His.

Obama’s agenda was so radical and immoral it was the line in the sand for many.

Now God has Trump in office and again drawing the line in the sand only for those who are NOT His. He’s contrasting the evil with good and giving people again, the chance to choose. This time He’s giving those who aren’t yet His an opportunity to see righteousness and choose it and it’s the line in the sand for them.

If they choose to continue on their way and not repent, then when the end times is ushered in, they are going in eyes wide open, having made their choice, and there have no excuse. God’s judgment during the Tribulation will be just and no one can claim they didn’t know.

tax credits and charter schools

Tuitional tax credits are the way to go.

I agree. But they’ll have to be structured in such a way that the folks who don’t have the money for tuition up front can take advantage.

Everything they purchase for homeschooling purposes is deductible as a tax credit...against property tax, or state income tax.

Like-minded homeschoolers could form education cooperatives, and either hire a single teacher or take turns instructing the kids....everything tax deductible.

Doesn’t help the folks who can’t front the money for private school or home education. Most families don’t have 2 months income saved away. And we’re asking them to pre-pay tuition so that they can collect a credit 14 months later? Not going to happen.

I’m not the slightest bit interested in wealth re-distribution...including the current “earned income” tax credit.

However, it doesn’t need to cost a fortune to blow the doors off the results achieved by the government indoctrination centers.

Re: Vouchers, tax credits, and charters

Of the three, tax credits are the best option.

School choice is going to completely ruin private schools by letting them in.

Doubtful. My sister sent her children to Catholic schools. High school ran her about $8,000 a year each. Based on the funding formula in the bill itself I doubt that the vouchers will be even a third of that.

School choice only works if you can afford it and if you can get your kids there.

Nor am I. I’m merely pointing out the challenge of using tax credits by other than those who can afford the tuition anyway. I would envision something like a tax credit that can be assigned to someone else.

Tax credits would work if those paying the tax could assign the money to a specific individual, a private charity issuing vouchers, or to a specific school's scholarship fund.
