Like everyone else, I’ve been watching the Donald Trump phenomenon ever since he miraculously won the US presidential election in November 2016. Since then, I’ve been asking myself, what’s next for America and the rest of the world, and how does this all fit into end times biblical prophecy?
As I’ve been pondering these questions, I have positioned myself as a watchman on the proverbial wall while following the news, listening to Bible teacher-pundits’ assessment of the situation, and, most importantly, asking YHVH for wisdom and guidance to discern correctly from heaven’s perspective the times and seasons in which we are living.
Frankly, what right-minded individual can’t be excited about the actions that Donald Trump has taken since becoming the president? Things like cutting funding for abortion, appointing many Christians to key positions in his cabinet, taking a strong stand to protect America’s borders, limiting or cutting off immigration from terrorist nations, reducing strangling governmental regulations against business, encouraging an America-first policy regarding energy production and manufacturing, and the list goes on.
In light of the anti-American, new world order, globalist agendas that have hurt America and Americans from failed trade and economic policies to expensive foreign military entanglements and adventuristic policies, and the rise of the anti-Christian and Elohim-hating, anti-biblical left that has all but taken over large segments of our country, I never believed that anything could slow down this tidal wave of evil.
For these reasons, Trump has given me reasons to be greatly encouraged and to be optimistic. But, and there’s always a but, I refuse to park my brain in a vacant spot and throw caution to the wind in favor of unbridled optimism based more on emotion than on reality unlike some of my colleagues in the ministry are doing.
My gut tells me that we’re simply in a reprieve from YHVH Elohim’s judgment against America and the rest of the world. Unless my understanding of end times Bible prophecy is totally off, the Book of Revelation tells me that there will be a Babylon the Great New World Order, antichrist, Luciferian system in place, which will control all or most of the world, and which Yeshua will destroy at his second coming. Period.
If we’re in a reprieve, then what must we do during this respite from YHVH’s final end times judgments? Yeshua told us what to do: Occupy until he comes! What does this mean? It should go without saying: Draw closer to Yeshua. Repent of sin. Put on holiness and righteousness. Do the great commission by preaching the gospel in every way you can. Be a river of life to those around you by praying for them, sharing the gospel and meeting others at their point of need as Yeshua did. Finally, support through prayer, help and finances those who are doing these things. There are many ways to participate and many levels of participation depending on one’s resources, means and abilities. Inactivity is inexcusable in Yeshua’s eyes. Everyone can do something, or else our King and Master calls us an unprofitable servant.
How long will this reprieve last? This has not been revealed to me.
Satan and his followers will not easily let go of the gains they have made over the past few decades when it comes to world domination. They are ruthless in their goal to accomplish their evil agendas and will stop at nothing—even assassination. I am praying for President Trump’s physical protection (and hopefully you are too), and then asking YHVH what I can do to be a better servant to get the gospel out during this respite. Hopefully you’re doing the same thing.
Another thing that is against President Trump is the instability (to put it mildly!) of the current economic system—nationally and globally. The fundamentals are still very weak. Those of you who are astute observers understand what I’m talking about. These factors can’t be overcome much less changed overnight. They are well entrenched and endemic. We didn’t get here overnight, and we won’t get out of this mess easily, quickly or painlessly. So buckle your seat belts. Think austerity!
Although I like what I see so far with Trump, it’s still very early in the game and only time will tell.
No, Trump is not the Messiah; he’s just a man. But YHVH Elohim is in charge and uses men for his purposes and glory. May this be the case with Donald Trump, those around him and the rest of us as well.
Below, I have a link to a video that best explains my views on the current situation. I personally know Norm Franz and have followed his ministry since the late 90s when he was just coming into an understanding of the Torah. You will find it instructive and balanced.
Occupy until Yeshua comes and (sorry for the cliche) let’s make hay while the sun shines!
Norm Franz—Can Trump Really Save The US Economy?
Interesting what you type NATAN

.
yes the word says Let no man deceive us.
24 “No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve ELOHIM and mammon.”
“I would that you always remember the poor”
“When you turn the least of them away , you turn me away”
“Elohim will humble the proud and and exalt the humble”
“Blessed are the poor in Sprit”.
“If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand?”
“And the nations were angry, and your wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that you should give reward to your servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear your name, small and great; AND SHOULD DESTROY THEM THAT DESTROY THE EARTH”
additionally …listening to Norm Franz re coming out of Babylon to me it means firstly spiritual apostate Babylon,(1 world religion/ religious) .political Babylon…( 1 world govt.) & financial system=BABYLON THE GREAT ETC.. ( 1 world monetary ) /researching a while ago i found an article re THE VATICAN:[ OF COURSE HAS ITS OWN BANK] & i am sure THE VATICAN HAS TIES TO VISA CARD & MASTER CARD.
the visa ….stands for certain things cant remember all ? vi is like roman numeral 6 & s. ? sanskrit not sure re a ..but there is info on it…
38min ;19sec mark re tony mentions debt [-word mortgage means- death lock}..will re look up the word..
mort/gage etc..pretty sure re that …so in the world today most people, take on a mortgage unless they are super fortunate to pay cash or are wealthy enough to have a roof over their heads without debt…live frugally & within their means [tiny houses] etc..lots of others also the word meek means living within your means being satisfied & I guess not covetous if others have bigger & better. .
Natan Im almost a bit scared to share another thought : as I have shared 4 already on this one …but! please forgive me for dominating the shared thoughts on this article..I have re listened to Norm Franz & Tony tonight with my whole family..it is such an important spot on message..and a blessing to the body of believers.once again thank you for putting this video up on your blog, would u believe it I found Ascension ministries home site a few weeks ago, don”t even know how I found it now but there u go I just did,,I think I watched a live service & read bits etc…yes as u say very balanced .
This subject I am very passionate about .
the elephant and the donkey can’t save us…we must get back to the Lamb!
True, but YHVH used a donkey once to speak to a man. He can use anyone or anything he wants, including, most importantly, the Lamb!
Love Carols comment- so true. Yeshua is in charge ,focus on him.
