In 1 Kings 1:5-53 is the Biblical story of how an ambitious son of King David’s seized the kingship before the rightful heir, Solomon, could ascend to the throne. An aging and frail King David had done nothing to stop Adonijah’s illegal ambitions. So, some of David’s closest advisors & prophets went before David to address their concerns. Nathan asked David reproachfully: “Has this thing been done by my lord the king, and you have not told your servant who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?” (1 Kings 1:27).
Tantamount in Nathan’s rebuke of David was the fact that David’s own men had not been told about any change in the succession to the throne. They had not been told, because there really wasn’t any change!
The present election results make it appear that most Christians were not told about the change in who is to become the next president. Has there been a change in God’s plan?
In this election, at least 50% of Americans cast their vote for a candidate upholding conservative, Christian values. So, has God turned a deaf ear to all the prayers & supplications for President Trump’s re-election? The results for Joe “Adonijah” Biden would make you think so.
In Genesis 18, there is the story of Abraham interceding before God to spare Sodom for the sake of 10 righteous people. The Lord’s answer? “I will not destroy it for the sake of ten,” (Genesis 18:32). If God promised to spare Sodom for the sake of just 10 decent people, will He not pull the USA back from the brink of socialism for the sake of many, many more Christians?
Trump has been specially gifted with an iron will, steely determination, and a never-say-never attitude. For the past 4 years, we have seen him come back from attack after attack against his tenure, his character, his competency, and his booming economy. Is he now finished off? Will God allow this nation to be turned over to liberals for the utter destruction of its conservative foundation? I don’t think we can say that just yet. Legal challenges against the election results have been filed. Things are not yet final. It’s not over til the fat lady sings. God delights in catching His enemies in the same snare that they set for others.
So, what IF Trump is able to pull this election out? Will it be a time for the church to celebrate? Here is where this message goes deeper.
This election is basically a choice of how you want your bandaid pulled off. Some Christians want it yanked off really fast. Others want to take it slow and steady. If President Trump gets re-instated for another 4 years, we are on a fast track to a Middle East peace treaty and the possible PROPHETIC launch of end times (Daniel 9:27). If Joe Biden remains as winner, things in the Middle East will go sour— especially for Israel, for a while. Any proposed peace plan affecting “many” nations & Israel will almost certainly be scuttled. Not to mention Israel’s ability to build her Third Temple.
After decades of studying prophecy, I am assured of this one thing: Bible prophecy is 100% guaranteed to come to pass. There is no question about it. Sooner or later, Daniel 9:27 and the prophecies of Matthew 24, Revelation, Ezekiel, etc. will take place.
Donald Trump set a Middle East peace plan as the main international goal of his presidency. Our president is determined, willful, and doesn’t like to lose at anything…ever. So, don’t count him out just yet.
Only the One who sits on the throne of the universe can and will decide this election. Pray, intercede like Abraham for our country. But, the timing of prophetic events is in the hands of God. How will our bandaid be ripped off? Fast or slowly? Will it be launched into high gear or be stalled for a while? Stay tuned. In the meantime, stay calm and carry on the work of evangelizing this world while we still can.
Shalom!
