Like everyone else, I’ve been watching the Donald Trump phenomenon<\/strong> 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\u00a0fit into end times biblical prophecy?<\/p>\n

As I’ve been pondering these questions, I have positioned myself as a watchman\u00a0on the proverbial wall while\u00a0following 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

In light of the anti-American, new world order, globalist\u00a0agendas 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 \u00a0Elohim-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.<\/p>\n

For these reasons, Trump has given me reasons to be greatly encouraged and to be optimistic. But, and there’s always a but<\/em>, 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.<\/p>\n

My gut tells me that we’re simply in a reprieve from\u00a0YHVH 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.<\/p>\n

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:\u00a0Occupy until he comes! What does this mean? It should go\u00a0without 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 \u00a0our King and Master calls us\u00a0an unprofitable servant.<\/p>\n

How long will this reprieve last? This has not been revealed to me.<\/p>\n

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\u2014even 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.<\/p>\n

Another thing that is against President Trump is the instability (to put it mildly!) of the current economic system\u2014nationally 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,\u00a0quickly or painlessly. So buckle your seat belts. Think austerity!<\/p>\n

Although I like what I see so far with\u00a0Trump, it’s still very early in the game and only time will tell.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Below, I have a link to\u00a0a 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.<\/p>\n

Occupy until Yeshua comes and (sorry for the cliche) let’s make hay while the sun shines!<\/p>\n
