COULD PRESIDENT TRUMP’S PRESIDENCY BE AMERICA’S LAST GASP?

In the fifteenth year of Amaziah the son of Joash, king of Judah, Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel, became king in Samaria, and reigned forty-one years.  And he did evil in the sight of the Lord; he did not depart from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who had made Israel sin…For the Lord saw that the affliction of Israel was very bitter; and whether bond or free, there was no helper for Israel.  And the Lord did not say that He would blot out the name of Israel from under heaven; but He saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash. 2 Kings 14.23-24; 27

 

When I first began to study the Bible in earnest I felt in my spirit that I was supposed to study the Old Testament and understand the history of the Israelites. I went out and purchased a Jewish study Bible with commentary and started digging in.

Not only did I get a great history lesson, but I also began to understand the Jewish understanding of the Old Testament. I began to see how much of our “Christian” beliefs have their root in the belief and understanding of the ancient Jewish sages.

It is amazing how Y’shua is right before their eyes, yet they do not see Him. So many of their insights into the word reveal Y’shua, but as scripture says, they are temporarily blinded. These insights, helped me begin to see the New Testament in a fresh light. I began to understand Y’shua’s parables in a Hebraic way, rather than a 21^st century western way.

The more I studied, and found teachers who understood this, the more I began to allow the Bible to interpret itself. It takes time for this to happen. We all think we are allowing the Bible to interpret itself but we really are not. It takes time and will challenge many things we have previously been taught. It requires us to let go of many “traditions of men” which we don’t want to let go of.

A teacher that I came to know was Jonathan Cahn. He is a Jewish believer who has an assembly in Wayne, New Jersey. http://www.hopeoftheworld.org/ He has published several books on the attack on the World Trade Center in 2001 and how these attacks are a warning to our nation. https://www.christianbook.com/Christian/Books/easy_find?Ntk=author&Ntt=Jonathan%20Cahn&kw=jonathan%20cahn%20book&mt=b&dv=c&event=PPCSRC&p=1020037&msclkid=5bb3f1779584125ece77abb0c9d3156d&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Authors&utm_term=jonathan%20cahn%20book&utm_content=jonathan%20cahn

The insights he received from the Lord had a profound effect on me. He was seeing current events from an Old Testament knowledge. He was interpreting what was happening to America using the Torah, the prophets, and the Books of Kings and Chronicles.

This was a confirmation for me about seriously studying the Old Testament. Here was a man who grew up Jewish, accepted Y’shua as savior, studied in both Jewish and Christian schools, and now was able to interpret current events in stunning fashion.

The Biblical prophets of old had a complete understanding of the political situation of both the Northern Kingdom of Israel and the Southern Kingdom of Judah. Many of them even had connections to the King and other important officials. They knew the Torah and spoke truth to a lawless nation.

These prophets risked their lives to speak to the sin of the nation and warn the people and leaders to turn back to Yahweh before disaster would come upon them. The “disaster” that would come upon them was in the form of attacks by pagan nations and financial ruin.

Many of the kings the prophets spoke to were not righteous individuals. All of the kings of Israel, the Northern Kingdom, were idolaters and refused to hear what the prophets were saying. Eventually the fierce nation of Assyria would come against them and destroy them. The result was captivity and dispersion among the Gentile nations—never to return. Eventually they lost their identity. Ref: the Book of Hosea.

The Southern Kingdom lasted another 150 years until they were taken captivity by the Babylonians. They were later allowed to return after 70 years to rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem. These people are the Jewish people of our time. They did not lose their identity among the Gentile nations.

Today America is under attack. The forces that would destroy the Constitution are strong. America is turning to the left. President Trump is similar to King Jeroboam II in 2 Kings 14. God had mercy on the nation through Jeroboam II even though he was not a righteous man.

Trump is doing commonsense things to protect America from forces that would destroy our freedoms. Powerful force are at work within the government to bring him down. Our entire system has become too corrupt to fix. We are similar to ancient Rome as it began to decay from a Republic to tyranny. It is happening before our eyes.

I truly believe President Trump may represent a “last chance” for America. How will the nation vote in 2018? Will power return to the left? The left wants no borders and hordes of illegal immigrants—these people will vote for them. The left wants to destroy the 2^nd Amendment. Our founders allowed us to have weapons in order to stop a tyrant from taking over the nation.

Our politicians refuse to discuss these issues in a civil intelligent forum and write commonsense laws.

We used to be a nation of law—but none obey the law from the top down. Please take the time to read this article in full: https://www.thetrumpet.com/17092-saving-america-from-the-radical-left-temporarily
