For two millennia a cry has gone up
to heaven, a plea exhaled, a concert of voices crying out for the
return of the One who was slain. A begging of sorts, as insanity presses hard
against humanity. Many have said throughout these past two thousand years that the
story was false. That the return was a lie and that such expectations will only
lead to disappointment. But man forgets a most crucial part of the greatest story
ever told; God is eternal and not bound by space or time. God does not move or
hold to the seconds on a clock but sweeps through a
timeless veil as He accomplishes His purposes, precisely and with pinpoint
accuracy within the constraints of time which He Himself imposed upon man.
Close to 4,000 years ago in a relatively
unknown part of the world that to us seems meaningless, an encounter took place between a single man and the Creator of all things. It wasn't just any conversation, but Divine
handshake where a covenant was forged and a promise made, not by the man with
God but by God with the man concerning his progeny and the future of all
mankind. The story goes a little like this (my interpretation paraphrased and
condensed): “I will create through you a great family that I shall use to
reveal Myself to all mankind. I have chosen you because you come from the loins and blood of your fathers, Adam and Seth. The family I wanted to create through Adam, I will
create through you. But your family, like your father, Adam, will rebel against Me, yet
I will neither waver or relent in doing what I have promised you this day, and I will swear upon My own word to you. Though they will wander and fail, be
scattered and die, because of My promise to you, this day, I will gather them to Myself
and to the place of My choosing so that I may reveal myself to the whole world
through them. And because of their rebellion against Me, I will make a way for
that rebellion to be rendered null and void. I will do a great thing that no one can
comprehend but you will see it, and be glad. You and your family, and all the
families of the Earth, all the sons and daughters of your father Adam shall be
redeemed by what I do. And then, after many years I will begin the restoration
by calling your family back from the ends of the earth, where I will scatter them, and I will reestablish
your family as one on the face of the earth and then they shall know that I AM YEHOVAH who swears these things to you this day. For in that day, a great terror shall arise, but I will be the Light that dispels the darkness, for I will return! Every
eye will see and knee will bow and every tongue shall confess that YEHOVAH is God."
One thousand nine hundred and forty eight years after the creation of
Adam, his many times great grandson Abraham was born to Terah in the city of
UR [in what is today is southern Iraq]. Subsequently, thousands of years in
the future, another 1948 occurred. In that year a miracle took place out
of what was the ashes of death and destruction in the ovens of the Holocaust, where over
7 million Jews died, the nation of Israel and the rebirth of Abraham in the
earth took place on the very ground God gave to Abraham when He made His
promise almost 4,000 years before. Some may consider it nothing
more than coincidence, but historically it is perhaps one of the most dramatic events
to ever take place in the history of man on the earth. What was dead and
scattered was brought back to life in order to bring to pass the fulfillment of
a promise made by God to a man whose bones have long
been dust in the ground
In this day of fabrications, exaggeration, and out-and-out lies, along with fake news propagating the dark
agendas of wicked men, the nation of Israel stands as a beacon of light for all
to see. But there's a deeper story here that needs to be taken into
consideration, given the history and promises made by the God.
When Jesus came the first time, there are several things that need to be examined and taken into consideration
pertaining to a story that is unfolding before our very eyes. First,
Israel did not exist as a nation at that time of His first coming. It was
subjugated under the Roman Empire and was known as Palestinia. Second, though
the Romans ruled the land of Palestinia, and governed the city of Jerusalem, a
temple had been erected by Herod the Great and was used by the religious order
of the Jews and the people of the time for the purpose of worshiping and
sacrificing to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Third, though at the
time Jerusalem was barely recognizable as the holy city of God, it was the place He would make
the personal sacrifice for all of mankind so they might be restored to Him forever. It is where where Jesus was
sacrificed, and where He will return as He promised. But before He returns, there are things that need to take place that were prophesied as pre-return requirements.
Though there are quite a few, I will
only focus on the few I believe are most relevant to what I’m about to
share.
First, and most importantly, Israel must exist as
a Sovereign Nation. That happened May 14, 1948. Along with the creation of the
nation, second would be a calling out to the world for all those who are the descendants
of Abraham according to blood to return home to the land. They would be
compelled to the point, whether by force or personal choice, to go. That began in
in the late 1800 and exploded after WWII in 1948. But it has accelerated over the last 50
years since 1967, when Jerusalem was taken out of the hands of the gentiles and
returned to its rightful owners, Abraham's descendants. This too was a
part of the promises God made. Third, and just prior to the return of Jesus to
the earth, a Temple will be constructed in Jerusalem and Israel would return
to an extreme religious posture towards God in the midst of a world spinning
out of control, though not necessarily in that order.When that happened, Zechariah said, Jerusalem itself would become a source of consternation
throughout the entire globe and all the nations of the earth would rage against
her. This has obviously not happened at this point, but it will in the
not-too-distant future.
From 2009 until January 20th of
2017, the United States of America, Israel’s only real ally in the Earth, has
poked Israel in the eye by continually humiliating its leaders, verbally
rebuking her as a petulant stepchild and financially backing her most vehement
enemies. America has showed great disdain and disgust through its highest
official, Barack Obama, whose father was an anti-Semite and hated Israel and
passed that posture along to his son who became the leader of the most powerful
nation on the Earth. In the last month of his presidency alone Obama did
whatever he could to humiliate and create years of problems for the nation of
Israel by abstaining from a UN resolution which left Israel unprotected, and in
a last-ditch effort attempted to give $200 million to Israel's indigenous
and most insidious foe, the PLO. And lets not forget to mention the demonic
pact Obama made in the form of a treaty with Iran(the modern-day diversionary
name for the ancient nation of Persia and home of perhaps the most lethal
principality in all the Earth, the Biblical Prince of Persia) paying them
billions in cash to build their terror infrastructure without the permission of
Congress. Hezbollah, an arm of Iranian terror is encamped just to the north in
Lebanon. It has been obvious since Mr. Obama’s speech in Cairo to the Arab
League of Nations of his personal support of the spread of Islam, and hence the
spread of Islamic terrorism around the globe whose soul focus is to cause
America to implode and wipe Israel from the face of the Earth.
Knowing all this, what makes this
time different than any other time? What is the significance on the rise, and
obvious choice and favor of this man, Donald Trump, who no one gave a chance of becoming President? What happened in the final hours of the election of 2016, just months ago, that
changed the course of not only American history, but the world? Who is Donald
Trump and why did he rise to the highest office in the entire world? Why Trump
and who is he really? What do our eyes not see?
The
opinions and thoughts I am about to give are purely my own. They are the result of my
observations, perceptions, along with seeking God for insight and wisdom over what I believe is a much bigger
and far more important story than the one that has just played out with the
election and inauguration of Donald Trump as the 45th president of the United
States.
I want to start off by not beating
around the bush and over-telling a story, but go directly to my point, and then
lay out some thoughts for you to ponder, investigate on your own, and consider. I believe
Donald Trump's roll is far greater than that of the president of the United
States, I believe it is for a strategic allegiance with the nation of Israel
that has not been seen since Cyrus the Great and his release of the children of
Israel to go back and rebuild their Temple after 70 years of exile in Babylon.
I believe Donald Trump is a prophetic figure and will play out to be one of the
most significant biblical figures in history. Time will tell, but this is what
I believe.
Zechariah Chapter 12 says, that at
the end of all things, Jerusalem will become a bone of contention as never
before to all the nations in the earth. That they will stumble over her as they
rage against her. This promise will immediately precede the return of
Jesus to the earth. In a sense, it’s a covenant with Israel and all the
descendants of Adam and Eve. Since 1967, when Jerusalem was captured and retaken
by the Jews and declared Israel's capital, it has been a constant source of consternation
for those who hate the Jews, and Israel. Since 1955, Yasser Arafat and his PLO
have sought to undermine and recapture it for themselves. At a minimum divide it. And
the one piece of property they hold and guard with fierceness? The Temple
mount! The heart of Jerusalem herself. I know this first-hand. I have been
on it and was aggressively moved away from the Golden Gate on its eastern wall in
1985. At the center of this controversy is the fact that since Israel's inception
and statehood in 1948, America, who tipped the scales with the United Nations for her statehood, has never physically recognized Jerusalem as her capital, putting the US Embassy in
Tel Aviv. No American president has moved that embassy, though several have
talked about and even proposed it, none have succeeded or followed through. I
believe that day has finally come. Donald Trump will move the United States
Embassy from Tel Aviv to the capital of the nation of Israel, Jerusalem. This
one act will incite the Luciferian hierarchy to heights of extreme panic and profound rage as it signals a changing of the guard and the beginning of
something extremely profound, their ultimate demise. This is no small thing. This will be no
insignificant move. It will have eternal and prophetic implications.
Why will Donald Trump, a self-made
billionaire and real estate mogul, make such an outlandish move as the President
of the United States? Why is he determined to have such a relationship with
Israel, unlike any president before him? That question can only be answered
by looking at Donald Trump's life over the last 40 years.
In his book, The Art of the Deal,
which Trump wrote in 1987, he reveals something most would not get by just
reading it. But, in hindsight, it reveals something profoundly significant. The
majority of people Donald Trump has dealt with and pulled close to himself
as his closest friends over the last 40 years, have been some of the most
prominent Jews in America. It only makes sense that as a real estate developer, many of America's greatest real estate developers are Jewish. If you read the
book carefully you will find this to be the case.
Something most pay little attention to are Donald Trump's children and their spouses. His daughter Ivanka married
into one of the most prominent Jewish families in America when she married
Jared Kushner, with she herself converting to Judaism. This is no small thing. This is
very significant spiritually as Donald Trump's grandchildren by Ivanka are Jewish.
But it doesn't stop with Ivanka. Donald Trump Jr. is married to Vanessa Kay
Haydon who is herself of Danish Jewish decent. They have five children together
and to solidify my point, in 2014 Eric Trump married Lara Yunaska, who herself
is Jewish, under a crystal-embellished chuppah with Jared Kushner
officiating a very Jewish ceremony. Thus far all
of Donald Trump's progeny are Jewish. His family’s future is sealed. Ponder
this and I believe you will see that what I'm saying and where this is going is
not just what you see on the surface.
I am about to make a bold statement,
a prophetic declaration, shall we say. One many may argue against, but regardless, I will say it anyway. As I said previously, one of the most significant things
to take place prophetically before the return of Jesus is the building of a Temple
in Jerusalem. The Return of Jesus very closely resembles the original story of
Hanukkah where He will return to a temple that has been rebuilt... but this won't be just
any Temple. According to Biblical prophecy, during the last seven years known as
the time of Jacob's Trouble, Israel will have three and a half years of
relative peace and then three and a half years absolute chaos and tragedy. But
when Jesus returns He will enter the Temple Mount through the now closed up Golden
Gate to take His rightful place as Lord Of All The Earth. As it stands, the
Temple Mount is in the hands of those who hate Israel and seek her complete and utter destruction.
Until now, in 2016, there's no possible way a Temple could have ever been erected on that
piece of ground. Those who oppose such a building know the significance of
such, and they know the prophecies! But I believe that time is about to end and a
time like no other time is about to begin.
Who better to help Israel further
its cause and build a temple of unbelievable beauty and magnitute than the
most significant real estate mogul and master builder on the face of the earth, Donald Trump! I
believe he will not only move American Embassy to Jerusalem in the
not too distant future, but he is called and anointed to help Israel restore its spiritual significance and heritage
by helping them build a temple unlike any other before it. And I believe, like Donald Trump has done time and time again, he will do it ahead of schedule and
under budget. It will be his greatest masterpiece and it will be for the entire
world to see that Yehovah, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Israel, has anointed Donald Trump for such a monumental task. Trump is a man who keeps
his word and does what he says he will do. That is the history of Donald Trump
and that will be his crowning glory; after all, he has a vested interest as his
future lineage is is now intrinsically woven into the fabric of the nation of
Israel. But there will be much spiritual warfare that will precede this coming to pass
But I don't believe it ends with
what I have just said, though that is, in and of itself, radical and
dramatic... but I believe Donald Trump has something else that is extremely
unique that no one else on the face of the earth has… especially in America.
When Israel became a nation, the clarion
call by the angelic world began to take place. A calling out to the four points
of the globe; to the north and to the south, to the east and to the west, for them to give up all those who have been dispersed throughout the globe to return to the land of their fathers. This has been
happening. They've come from the north, out of the ashes of Holocaust of World War II.
They have come from the East as far as China and Japan and Korea. From Iraq
and Persia. They have come from the South in Africa and South America... but for the most part they
have not come from the West, America. Why? Because the majority of Jews throughout the
West are comfortable and have done well. In America many are wealthy and in
control of many things as a result of their successes and wealth. It is an
extremely uncomfortable for them to imagine giving it all up to return to the land
of their fathers when where they live now is relatively safe, very comfortable, and without war.
But I believe we will see over
these next year's the voice of a trumpet... a Trump WILL BE HEARD in the ears
of those who are comfortable. And example will be shown for all to see. They
will see his passion for Israel. His respect and admiration for its historical “will
to live”. They will see his family ties. His connection to Israel will be so
profound it will be like a bridge going between America and Israel itself. I
believe the day is rapidly approaching where we will see a tremendous move by
the comfortable in America, because America, in many ways, will become
radically uncomfortable, and the Jewish population of America will be stirred.
The Jewish population of Canada and of Central America and South America will
be stirred as well. And there will be a significant drawing of those who will feel that
stirring deep in their spirits, to go home. This MUST take place because God
himself is the one calling. And just like Darius gave the command to all
those who were captive in Babylon to go home and build their Temple and worship their God again, in their own land, so I believe Donald Trump is the modern-day
version of such a profound prophetic utterances in the Earth.
Something of unprecedented
circumstance took place in the wee hours of November 8, 2016. Something most believed was impossible. After all, everyone had said for 18 months it was
impossible. No one would have imagined that the one no one ever imagined being
president would, at the 12th hour, overtake the one who was all but coronated queen of America. Trump not only overtook Clinton, he plowed foot under a dark
force that was about to pummel America with a deathblow. God stepped into time
and in one sweeping move showed whom His favor was upon. The Bible says, “God
raises up one man and sets down another”. Proverbs says that, “the heart of the
king is like channels the water in the hand of God; He moves it however He
wishes.” God raised up a man, against all odds, who was bold enough and radically willing to undertake a prophetic task that has perhaps never been
seen on the face of the earth, A man pliable in His hands to do His bidding. Someone wise
enough to recognize the moment he finds himself in.
I say
this with bold conviction; Donald Trump is not who you think he is or who he
appears to be. And because of that, and God's obvious and dramatic favor upon him, he will
accomplish what he was born for and called to do as the President of the United
States. His impact will be far greater that just making America great again, I
believe he will play a major role in preparing the way for the return of the
Messiah to Israel and the rule of God to begin on the earth, and the restoration of all
things to the sons and daughters of Adam and Eve: the Sons of God! God keeps His word, even to a
thousand generations. What He promised, He will do! And the Covenant He made
with Abraham, its capstone being Y'shua/Jesus, will be fulfilled to the very last
detail.
