DOES PRESIDENT ELECT
TRUMP HAVE A GENERATIONAL BLESSING UPON HIS FAMILY?
A few days
ago I listened to a very interesting interview on http://www.trunews.com/listen/12-27-16-dr.-c.r.-oliver-the-road-to-captivity of Mr. C.R. Oliver who
is a retired college professor, ordained minister, and author of many
Christian books.
In
this interview he pointed out how the Prophet Jeremiah was used by God to warn
the nation that if they didn’t return to God they would be taken captive by a
foreign power. He applied this ancient event to current events in the United
States. It is a very interesting discussion and worth listening to.
During
the interview he mentioned a little known revival which took place on the Isle
of Lewis in Scotland from 1949-53. He said that he knew for certain that
President elect Trump’s maternal grandmother, Mary Smith, took part in this
revival. She was a “holiness” Presbyterian for lack of a better word.
In
Exodus 20:1-17 God gives the 10 Commandments to Moses on Sinai. Within those verses
we see an interesting comment by YHVH in verses 4-6:
Thou shalt not make unto thee any
graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is
in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou
shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I
the Lord thy God am a jealous God,
visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and
fourth generation of them that hate me; And shewing mercy unto
thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
In these
verses the Lord is talking about “generational curses and blessing” that come
upon families based on prior generations obedience or disobedience toward God.
Leviticus 26 and Deuteronomy 28 also contain lists of curses and blessing based
on obedience to God’s Word or Law.
Mr. Oliver
speculated that Mr. Trump’s family may have a generational blessing upon them
based on his grandmother’s participation in this revival and her love of God. I
found this to be very interesting. I’ve always been aware of the “generational
curse” but rarely thought about “generational blessings” upon a family!
As a
reader of this blog you know that I agree with Mr. Oliver that America is in a
dangerous place as we are continuing to turn away from God. I believe we are
already being chastised by God in the hope we return to Him as a nation.
Mr. Trump
is not at this time considered to be a “religious” man. He has many
imperfections in his life but it is obvious that his conservative approach to
things has a “Presbyterian” foundation.
My prayer
has been that God would give America additional time to decide which path it
will take. Along with many others I’ve prayed for a Josiah or Hezekiah that
would turn the nation back towards God or somehow make the nation clearly decide
which road it would take.
The
election of Mr. Trump may be that turning point. Will the nation take a lawful
commonsense approach or a lawless human secular approach? Will the nation take
a godly path or decide for ungodliness? I believe this is our time of decision.
Mr. Trump’s time in office may clearly decide the direction the nation chooses
to walk in the coming years.
We need to
watch and pray and discern what God is doing—it may be much different than what
we expect.
We already
see Obama putting up roadblocks to Mr. Trump’s agenda. Obama treacherously
double crossed Israel on December 23rd as America abstained from U.N.
Resolution 2334 opening the way for war in the Middle East: http://www.prophecynewswatch.com/article.cfm?recent_news_id=910
Obama is
also taking actions against Russia which he should have done 18 months ago. He
mocked Mitt Romney when Romney said Russia was our greatest threat. Now, as he
leaves, he takes action in order to thwart Trump’s desire to improve relations
with Russia (a very sound idea would be to improve our relations).
Obama will
continue to make other last minute decisions to make things difficult for
Trump. No other outgoing president has acted in this petty manner when leaving
office.
After
Trump is inaugurated the Left will do everything in their power to disrupt the
agenda. They will look for various ways to impeach him—watch closely how they
attack.
The next
four years will be tumultuous for America and the world as the people are
fighting for their national sovereignty in the face of the rising beast. This
is a time of momentous decisions. America and the world will decide on which
course to take.
These
decisions will ultimately lead to the glorious return of Yeshua ha
Mashiach-Jesus the Messiah. The world is heading for great tribulation which
will usher in the Millennial Kingdom and peace on earth! More to come….
