Trump the Instrument of Judgment

Many think that Donald Trump is taking a stand against globalism and holding back chaos and conflict in our nation. But the reality is the opposite - he is bringing chaos and conflict. 

What I believe the Lord showed me a couple years ago is that Donald Trump is like Gaal son of Ebed in the story of Abimelech in Judges 9. I recommend reading the story to understand what happened.

Gaal was sent by the Lord to divide the people of Shechem and bring about a civil war as a judgment against them for their bloodshed. America is also a nation of bloodshed - abortion and foreign wars - so the analogy is consistent. Many who followed Gaal were killed in civil conflict.

This is why I’m concerned about people thinking Trump is a white knight fighting against the dark forces of globalism (represented by Abimelech in the story). It means they will follow Trump into this conflict and so will be judged.

An often overlooked principle in the Scripture is the need to listen to the Lord and discern the times we live in:

"He [Jesus] said to the crowd: 'When you see a cloud rising in the west, immediately you say, "It’s going to rain," and it does. And when the south wind blows, you say, "It’s going to be hot," and it is. Hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky. How is it that you don’t know how to interpret this present time?'" - Luke 12:54-56, NIV

Jesus' day was time of the visitation of the Messiah. Sadly most in Israel missed it and that's why the nation was judged and destroyed by the Romans in 70 A.D. The consequences for failing to interpret the times can be serious.

What is happening in our time? God is judging America and Donald Trump is an instrument of His judgment. We should act and pray consistently with that reality. Don't fall into the trap of the coming civil conflict, and don’t think Trump will save us. Look only to God for protection and deliverance. Pray that people will repent and turn to the Lord.

Recommend this article: "Trump Is A Pied Piper For The New World Order Agenda"

This article by Brandon Smith is worth a read:

Trump Is A Pied Piper For The New World Order Agenda

It explains in economic and political terms why Donald Trump is a con, the designated fall guy for crashing the US economy and the US dollar.

The article states very well what this blog has been saying for two years: That Trump is a deception and a judgment on our nation. He is there to lead our country into civil war and to take the blame for the coming economic crash. The world will pass this blame onto Trump supporters, i.e. conservatives and Christians. 

Don't be fooled!

King Asa of Judah – A Prophetic Metaphor for Placing Hope in Donald Trump

 

The Lord put it on my heart that the story of King Asa of Judah in 2 Chronicles 14-16 is a prophetic metaphor for those who put their hope in Donald Trump for America’s future. King Asa lived righteously before the Lord for most of his life and his nation Judah was blessed with peace. However, in later years, Asa put his faith in man instead of God, hardened his heart and died amidst disease and war. In this story, there is a warning to Christians to repent and not follow Asa’s path.

The Story of King Asa

“Asa did what was good and right in the sight of the Lord his God.” – 2 Chronicles 14:2

At the start of his reign, King Asa removed pagan altars, pillars and Asherah poles. (Asherah was a Canaanite goddess which the Israelites sometimes worshipped when they fell into idolatry.) Asa told the citizens to seek the Lord God and follow His commands. Because of his faithfulness, God blessed the whole nation:

“… and the kingdom experienced peace under him.” – 2 Chronicles 14:5

When the Cushites (a nation from the area around the Nile River south of Egypt) brought a million-man army against Judah, Asa turned to the Lord for help:

“Help us, Lord our God, for we depend on You, and in Your name we have come against this multitude. Lord, You are our God. Do not let a mere mortal hinder You.” – 2 Chronicles 14:11

The Lord answered and routed the Cushites on behalf of Judah. They carried off a “great supply of loot.” Afterwards, Azariah son of Obed prophesied:

“Asa and all Judah and Benjamin, hear me. The Lord is with you when you are with Him. If you seek Him, He will be found by you, but if you abandon Him, He will abandon you.” – 2 Chronicles 15:2

King Asa took these words to heart. He removed idols from the land, renovated the altar of the Lord and gathered the people in Jerusalem to make a great offering of 700 cattle and 7,000 sheep. They entered into a covenant to seek the Lord God with all their mind and all their heart. The people of Judah rejoiced.

There was no war in the land until the 35^th year of Asa’s reign. Somewhere along the line, Asa’s heart turned away from fully trusting God. When King Basha of Israel began attacking Judah, King Asa turned to King Ben-hadad of Aram for help. He sent Ben-hadad silver and gold from the temple treasury and royal palace and implored him to break his treaty with Israel. Ben-hadad agreed and attacked Israel, causing King Basha to cease attacking Judah. Asa’s plan worked, or so it seemed.

But Hanani the prophet came to King Asa and said:

“Because you depended on the king of Aram and have not depended on the Lord your God, the army of the king of Aram has escaped from your hand. Were not the Cushites and Libyans a vast army with very many chariots and horsemen? When you depended on the Lord, He handed them over to you. For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to show Himself strong for those whose hearts are completely His. You have been foolish in this matter, for from now on, you will have war.” – 2 Chronicles 16:7b-10

Asa was chastised for depending on the king of Aram instead of on God. It seems to have been God’s intention that Judah not only repel Israel, but also defeat Aram – by depending on the Lord. Because Asa acted foolishly, his kingdom would have perpetual war.

Asa became angry and threw the prophet Hanani in prison. He mistreated some of his people as well. Asa developed a severe foot disease, but turned to physicians instead of seeking the Lord. He died only three years later.

What can we say? Asa walked righteously before the Lord for most of his reign, but fell at the end by no longer depending on God. His last three years were characterized by anger, war, disease, hardness toward God and abuse of other people.

A Warning for Today

Asa is an example of someone who began walking with God faithfully and was blessed for it, but later turned away from trusting God and ended his life with suffering and judgment. (Judgment refers to consequences/discipline/punishment for rebelling against the Almighty.) I believe there is a prophetic warning in this story: King Asa represents Christians in America and  King Ben-hadad of Aram represents President Donald Trump.

Please let me speak plainly: God does not want Christians to depend on Donald Trump for their future, but on Him alone. I believe those who do will receive a judgment like King Asa – turmoil and suffering in their lives and hardness in their hearts toward God and others.

I know there are many Christians who say Trump is God’s man and his presidency is giving us a reprieve or space for the nation to repent. Even well-known leaders like Franklin Graham and Jonathan Cahn say it. This is a well-orchestrated, satanic deception. I won't go into details here, but the evidence behind Trump as a deception is overwhelming (for example, see Obamacare, the New World Order and the Mark of the Beast  -- Part 1). Unless these leaders repent, they will be judged for it, as will those who listen to them.

Donald Trump is an instrument of God’s judgment on America and a test for Christians: Will they depend on God or trust in men?

America has fallen spiritually, morally and intellectually, and God has turned the nation over to judgment for its rebellion and wickedness. The final period of judgments began with the noontime solar eclipse that streaked across America in August of this year (see A Basket of Summer Fruit for the Season of the End). Immediately following were Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Jose, causing immense destruction in Texas, Florida and Puerto Rico (see Hurricane Harvey Is a Judgment from the Lord, and More Is Coming). Then came the Las Vegas massacre, California wildfires and the recent New York City truck terror attack. And so it will continue in waves of growing intensity, until all Bible prophecies about America are fulfilled:

“There her plagues will come in one day – death, and grief, and famine. She will be burned up with fire, because the Lord God who judges her is mighty.” – Revelation 18:8 

God loves us – that’s why He’s warning us. Anyone who trusts in Trump should repent now. The only protection and blessing we can have in the days ahead will come directly from the Lord by depending on Him and following his commands. The devil wants us to believe the deception and be judged for it. God wants us to trust Him and be blessed for it.

A Dream of Captivity

"After this, I will pour out my Spirit on all humanity. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions; and also on male and female slaves in those days I will pour out my Spirit." - Joel 2:28-29

The following dream is from my 10-year old daughter, who is the dreamer in our household. It was on the night of September 10, 2017.

DREAM

"I saw a huge pit. It looked as if a meteor had struck to make the hole. There was a huge chain fence and brick wall all around the pit. Inside were people who seemed like prisoners. I could tell they were Christians because one of them muttered that the music one of the guards was playing wasn’t Christian. They were doing work - carrying boxes and setting them on shelves. They seemed brainwashed or like they didn’t really understand the situation they were in.

All of a sudden, four helicopters appeared bringing more people to this facility. The people were like the others – Christians who didn’t understand the situation at all.

Then Donald Trump came out of the lead helicopter and pushed the rest of the people inside and locked the door. He was dancing around and laughing and smiling at what had happened, like it was the best thing ever. He seemed like he was drunk. It was weird. I think he was possessed by a demon. He danced back to his helicopter.

Then the helicopters took off. As he was leaving, Donald Trump looked over the site and had an evil smirk on his face.

Guards stood around the whole prison."

INTERPRETATION

I think the dream speaks for itself. The main point is: Donald Trump is leading Christians in America into captivity.

To Christian Leaders Who Helped Erect the Golden Trump Idol: Tear It Down!

"Then Jesus replied to them: 'Watch out that no one deceives you...
False messiahs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders to lead astray, if possible, even the elect." - Matthew 24:4 and 24, Holman 

At the bottom of this article is an email exchange I had with Steve Quayle in April about his public political support for Donald Trump. I challenged him to repent, and his response was disappointing and frankly not honest. Quayle aggressively supported Trump's political campaign and presidency before and after the election. On his website he republished prophecies about Trump being "God's man" to restore America, which are false. He excused Trump's talk about grabbing women's private parts as "locker room talk." He republished an article that belittled Nathan Leal for questioning whether Trump is is a political savior. 

Why am I publishing this? Because far too many Christian leaders and media personalities have led people astray about Trump. They need to be held to account and should publicly repent for erecting an idol that gives people false hope and encourages faith in a man instead of in God. Like the Israelites who made a golden calf idol while Moses was away on Mount Sinai, they should grind it up and drink it down.

"Them [elders] that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear." - 1 Timothy 5:20

Trump is not a political savior. His actions as president now clearly demonstrate that his campaign was a charade and he works for the globalists. Nathan Leal does an excellent job profiling Trump and the globalist agenda in this interview on A Minute to Midnite:

Nathan Leal - Mercenaries, Corporations and NWO Control of America's Future

Moreover, America is a nation under judgment and we are beyond the point of no return. The only thing that matters now is personal repentance, obedience and faith in God. All of us should seek the Lord and his will for us personally during the during the coming calamities.

Trump is a deception. He is the bait in a trap to lead Christians into a spiritual slumber and stir them up to participate in the coming violent political, religious and racial conflicts in our nation. I have said this before and will repeat it: Somehow, some way, Obama is coming back into a position of political power. Trump is there to take the blame for coming collapse and make Obama look good. He is also there to transfer the blame onto his political supporters: Christians and conservatives.

Please don't fall into this trap. To Christian leaders and media personalities: please don't lead your flock into this trap.

Hello Steve,

Honestly, I'd rather not write this message, but I feel the Lord wants me to. 

You, along other big names in the independent media like Rick Wiles and the Hagmanns, led thousands and maybe millions of people astray by encouraging them to believe in a false worldly hope named Donald Trump. Instead of repenting from evil and placing their faith in God alone during these end times, they put their faith in a corrupted man and political system. You need to make it right and acknowledge publicly that you were wrong about Trump.

President Trump's recent attack on Syria was a wake-up call for some that Trump is following a globalist neocon agenda, just like Presidents Bush and Obama before him. The chemical gas attack on civilians attributed to Syrian President Bashar Assad was almost certainly a false flag. I'm sure you recall a few years ago when there was a gas attack in Syria (almost certainly a false flag by the CIA and the Saudis) and Obama wanted to bomb Syria, but Congressional Republicans would not support it. This time President Trump did not seek Congressional approval and unilaterally ordered a missile attack. This after he previously criticized President Obama for wanting to attack Syria:

"We should stay the hell out of Syria, the "rebels" are just as bad as the current regime. WHAT WILL WE GET FOR OUR LIVES AND $ BILLIONS? ZERO" - Donald Trump on Twitter

Trump campaigned as an anti-interventionist, pledging to focus on rebuilding America instead of costly military interventions. Now he's attacking Syria and rattling sabers with Russia, North Korea and China.

I chronicled Trump's clear deception and bad faith on "repealing" Obamacare here:

http://mystic2020.blogspot.com/2017/03/obamacare-new-world-order-and-mark-of.html

Trump also campaigned on putting Hillary Clinton in jail, but immediately after his election said the Clintons were "good people." He appointed globalists and establishment hacks like Comey as head of the FBI and the Goldman Sachs bankster as Treasury Secretary. And so on and so forth.

Jesus said you will know people by their fruits. Trump is producing bad fruit because he is a bad tree. He is a con put up by the globalist elite to fool conservatives and nationalists - and especially Christians - so that when everything falls apart on his watch, they get the blame. He was always working for the globalists.

I was not fooled by Trump because long ago I asked the Lord what Trump is about. The Lord told me he was a deception and I believed it.

You have been telling people to support a deception. You have passed along false prophecies that claim Trump is some kind of anointed figure to bring restoration to America. Those prophecies were from not from God. They were from Satan.

Now you say Trump was "co-opted." You mean the man who bravely and brashly stood up against the political and media establishment and against all odds won the presidency somehow got tricked into following a globalist agenda as president? No, I don't think so. The reality is you and many others were fooled.

You need to humble yourself and acknowledge the truth about Trump publicly. Many still believe in that false hope AND ARE NOT READY FOR WHAT IS COMING. You are partly responsible. Humble yourself and make it right.

Sincerely,

Mike Fisch

That is not a full and honest characterization of your public political support for Trump. Many people still believe the Trump delusion - it is an idol keeping them from God. You still need to do the right thing and publicly smash the idol that you helped erect!

Money Ministers and For-Profit Prophets Leading the Sheep Astray

I'm just an obscure person with a blog that Google has shadowbanned for nearly two years, so few people find it through Internet search engines. They have to be referred directly. Yet the blog receives a regular stream of visitors, so I am thankful for that.

Still, I cannot compete with the celebrity Christian ministers and personalities who have big voices and numerous followers and fans. More and more, I hear these big names hail President Trump as some kind of King Cyrus who is anointed by God to restore America and make it great again. It makes me sad and sick because I see something very different. I see these Christian celebrities using their influence to lead people leading people into deception and judgment. All I can do is my small part to push back against it.

The Trump Deception

To anyone who will listen: Please don't fall for the Trump deception. This is a big one, a doozy. It's part of the end-times "powerful delusion" that God is sending to determine who will be judged: 

"... because they refused the love of the truth that would have saved them. For this reason, God will send them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie, in order that judgment will come upon all who have disbelieved the truth and delighted in wickedness." - 2 Thessalonians 2:10-12, Berean Study Bible

Why? Because the promise of Trump, and what Trump embodies personally, is a lie from Satan himself: You can have blessing, prosperity and greatness - without repentance and without walking in God's righteous ways. Sadly, America as a nation and its lukewarm churches do not walk in God's ways.

As for Trump personally, he explicitly said he never asks God for forgiveness. This is a man who does things his way, the world's way:

Trump has always been a man of the elite and used to be a liberal Democrat, until he repositioned himself as a conservative nationalist to run for president as a Republican.

But it's actually much worse than that. Circumstantial evidence is overwhelming that Trump is a high-level freemason, which means he participates in Luciferian secret societies. Nathan Leal has done an excellent job exposing this - check out The Trump Chronicles - Part Five - Trump Tower & the Invocation. In other words, Trump invokes pagan occult rituals that originate from ancient Babylon and Egypt. This is the source of his worldly success. He is backed by the Luciferian brotherhood and by principalities of darkness in the heavenly realms.

This also means Trump is a member of the New World Order elite, the group of people Satan is using to establish his beast kingdom on earth, as depicted in the Book of Revelation. Jacob van Dyke presents evidence that the NWO elite have been planning a Trump presidency for a LONG TIME:

So Trump is playing his part in the take-down of America. As I explained in Civil War Foreboding and President Trump's Fascism Is Starting to Show, his role is to stir up a spirit of conflict in America that will divide the country and provoke a form of civil war/conflict. I believe Trump is publicly identifying with Christians and the right, so that when everything implodes on his watch, Christians will be blamed and the floodgates of persecution will be opened.

Diabolically brilliant, isn't it?

Shannon Johnson "Boldsojah4Christ" portrays it all very well in this truly inspired rap song:

America's Fat Shepherds

"Then the word of the Lord came to me saying, ^'Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel. Prophesy and say to those shepherds, "Thus says the Lord God, 'Woe, shepherds of Israel who have been feeding themselves! Should not the shepherds feed the flock? You eat the fat and clothe yourselves with the wool, you slaughter the fat sheep without feeding the flock.'"'" - Ezekiel 34:1-3

Why are so many of America's celebrity ministers and big-name Christian personalities leading people astray? First of all, be immediately suspicious of anything popular. The Scriptures say Satan is the god of this age (2 Cor. 4:4) and the whole world lies in his power (1 John 5:19). So, it is a red flag whenever the world runs after something en masse like Trump. The way of righteousness is not popular. Jesus put it this way:

"Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it." - Matthew 7:13-14

Among the Christian ministers who are speaking against the Trump deception - Nathan Leal, Shannon Johnson, Jonathan Kleck, Mena Lee Grebin - I see a couple common characteristics. First, they are not popular. They are known but not popular and broadly praised like the big-name celebrities. Narrow is the way that leads to life.

Second, they do not sell their instruction in the word of God and prophecies for money.  In contrast, the celebrity ministers are always selling books, DVDs, conferences, etc. for MONEY MONEY MONEY. This is a sin so commonly practiced in the American church that few even consider it wrong. But the word of God says it is. It also carries specific consequences:

"Her leaders issue rulings for a bribe,
her priests teach for payment,
and her prophets practice divination for money.
Yet they lean on the Lord, saying, 
'Isn’t the Lord among us?
No disaster will overtake us.'
Therefore, because of you,
Zion will be plowed like a field,
Jerusalem will become ruins,
and the hill of the temple mount will be a thicket."
- Micah 3:11-12, Holman Christian Standard Bible

Jesus Christ paid the price in full for our salvation. Salvation is a free gift. Therefore, it is an abomination to when ministers sell the message of salvation and instruction in the word of God for money, as if the ministry of the gospel is a corporate enterprise.

When ministers instruct for money and give prophecies for payment, as a consequence they will start to speak ear-tickling delusions in the name of the Lord. "Isn't the Lord among us? No disaster will overtake us." When in fact the opposite is true: God's judgment is upon the land and destruction is coming, in part BECAUSE OF the corruption of its ministers and how they are leading people astray. "Therefore, because of you, Zion will be plowed like a field, Jerusalem will become ruins."

This is definitely true in America. Celebrity ministers are telling people how Trump will make America great again, because they have been given over to delusion.

I am not saying it's wrong for ministers to accept donations or a church to hire a pastor and pay him a salary. But it is wrong to sell books and videos unless they are also made freely available online. It is wrong to charge at the door for conferences and speaking engagements. Again, donations are fine, but entrance fees are not.

So be careful who you listen to. Money ministers and for-profit prophets will lead you astray. Their judgment is coming:

"'Thus says the Lord God, "Behold, I am against the shepherds, and I will demand My sheep from them and make them cease from feeding sheep. So the shepherds will not feed themselves anymore, but I will deliver My flock from their mouth, so that they will not be food for them."'" - Ezekiel 34:10

President Trump's Fascism Is Starting to Show

President Trump has been in office less than two weeks and already his fascism is starting to show. You may be aware that Trump signed an executive order to go forward with the Dakota Access Pipeline for oil, which the Native Americans at Standing Rock have been famously protesting to protect their water from potential contamination. Days after the order was signed, scores of militarized police and troops rolled up in armored vehicles to arrest 70+ protesters, dismantle a new protest camp and burn what remained, ostensibly because the camp was on private land. This video news montage from Dahboo7 has details:

Here's a photo of troops in body armor and armored vehicles getting ready to defeat the peaceful protesters in their teepees:

CREDIT: Alternative Media Syndicate

Strange that this event didn't get covered the mainstream media. Just total silence. You would think the anti-Trump media would be all over this. Hmmm.

I also found this two-minute video where Trump talks about how the government needs to censor the Internet to keep terrorists from influencing young people. Granted, this is from the election campaign, but it is informative of the intentions of the man now in the White House:

Did you hear how Trump dismissed the 1st Amendment and our core value of freedom of speech? That doesn't matter to him because we gotta censor the Internet to stop the terrorists! This is the same rationale globalists use to push un-constitutional gun control, pervasive NSA surveillance, endless foreign wars, invasive and demeaning TSA searches and militarization of police. I predict it will also be the rationale used to declare martial law in the future. By the way, did you hear Trump say we should consult Bill Gates, the techie globalist billionaire who wants to depopulate the planet with his "charitable" vaccine programs, about Internet censorship?

Trump let slip his fascist intentions. To those who think it is a good idea to give up liberties and empower the government to "fight terrorism," let me just say: You will be next. There is a day coming in America when Christians will be targeted for persecution. Then, all the un-constitutional programs and tactics developed to fight "terrorism," including censorship, and more, will be aimed at YOU. 

In my previous post Civil War Foreboding, I shared how the Lord showed me He will allow a spirit of conflict to arise in America that will divide the country and provoke a form of civil war - as a divine judgment. I believe Trump will stir up half the country against the other half, led in part by Obama from behind the scenes.

Have you seen these recent headlines? 

Ex-Obama Official Suggess 'Military Coup' Against Trump

Kaine: Democrats Have to 'Fight in the Streets' Against Trump

MILO UC Berkeley Show Evacuated As Masked Anti-MILO Protesters Start Fires, Swarm Building

As soon as Ex-President Obama returned from a 10-day vacation, he issued a statement against President Trump's immigration policy and encouraged people to protest: "Citizens exercising their Constitutional right to assemble, organize and have their voices heard by their elected officials is exactly what we expect to see when American values are at stake."

Obama also has a new spokesman named Kevin Lewis. What former president has a spokesman a mere 10 days after leaving office and immediately starts criticizing his successor? Perhaps one trying to start a civil conflict/war.

There aren't going to be any winners in the coming conflict. We should stay out of it because it's a trap, and seek refuge in the Almighty:

"But he who takes refuge in Me will inherit the land and will possess My holy mountain." - Isaiah 57:13

"You will not be afraid of the terror by night, or of the arrow that flies by day; Of the pestilence that stalks in darkness, or of the destruction that lays waste at noon. A thousand may fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand, but it shall not approach you. You will only look on with your eyes and see the recompense of the wicked. For you have made the Lord, my refuge, even the Most High, your dwelling place."
 - Psalm 91:5-9

Civil War Foreboding

On the evening before the presidential inauguration, Donald Trump and his family stood in front of the Lincoln Memorial while U.S. marines sang the Battle Hymn of the Republic. The song originated during the Civil War, and Lincoln was president during the Civil War and was assassinated near the end of it.

The scene was very foreboding. I'll explain why. 

I see two strongly held beliefs in the Christian community, each backed with prophetic dreams, visions and words:

1) Trump is God’s chosen man to restore traditional America and give it a reprieve - MAJORITY VIEW.
2) Trump is not what he says he is and is part of God’s judgment on America - MINORITY VIEW

They can’t both be true. God is not the author of confusion and is not going to send two mixed, contradictory messages. One or the other is a deception. Full disclosure: I am in the second camp.

When the prophecy from Mark Taylor came out earlier last year about Trump being God's chosen man to restore America, I had recently read Jeremiah 28 about the false prophet Hananiah. He claimed God would throw off the yoke of Babylon and make Judah great again, even though God had declared judgment against the nation. The Lord impressed on my heart that I was witnessing the same kind of false prophecy today. America is under judgment for its wickedness, and God is not going to give the nation a reprieve unless it REPENTS, which I see no evidence for. On the contrary, the calamities of judgment will be the means He uses to move some hearts to repentance. Judgment is a mercy, lest even more souls fall into hell.

A couple weeks ago I was up late praying and seeking insight about the times we are in and also about Obama and Trump and their roles in it. The next morning my 9-year-old daughter came in my office and showed me Judges 9, specifically Jotham’s parable of the trees, because she felt like God wanted to show her something there. I think the Lord did have a message for her, but it was also an answer to my prayer. The Lord brought Judges 9 and the story of Abimelech to my wife and I's attention several times recently, but we never really understood the significance of it. Then it hit me that story is a prophetic metaphor for America. Since Abimelech and the men of Shechem committed murder and wickedness, God allowed a spirit of conflict to arise that would divide the nation and provoke a form of civil war -- as a divine judgment.

Barack Obama is represented by King Abimelech. Another character arises named Gaal son of Ebed, who stirs up the men of Shechem against Abimelech, and who I believe represents Donald Trump:

"Now Gaal the son of Ebed came with his relatives, and crossed over into Shechem; and the men of Shechem put their trust in him." - Judges 9:26

There was much bloodshed and many died in the ensuing battles, which again was God's intended judgment for their wickedness. In the end Abimelech gets a fatal head wound from a millstone dropped on him. This is very interesting in light of this description of the beast in Revelation 13:

“I saw one of his heads as if it had been slain, and his fatal wound was healed.” – Revelation 13:3

Like Gaal, the purpose of Trump is to stir up half the country, and especially the Christians, against the other half who follow Obama and his agenda. I believe a civil conflict/war is coming. Trump is probably going to be a scapegoat for the economic collapse, jihad attacks, etc., and that blame will be transferred onto the far right and especially onto Christians, which is exactly what Obama wants and could set him up for a return to power.

MANY people believe martial law coming to this nation at some point. Let me make a speculation: It won't be Obama who instigates martial law, but it will be Donald Trump in response to some catastrophe like a jihad attack. 90% of Christians will love it and want it and cheer for it because it's Trump. Except in the end it will be turned against them.

That same morning my daughter also flipped open to a page in her Bible that she thought was significant too. There was an illustration that showed the writing on the wall for Belshazzar in Daniel 5. That really spoke to me because twice already I felt the Lord impress on me that Trump will meet an untimely demise:

“Now this is the inscription that was written out: ‘MENĒ, MENĒ, TEKĒL, UPHARSIN.’ This is the interpretation of the message: ‘MENĒ’—God has numbered your kingdom and put an end to it. ‘TEKĒL’—you have been weighed on the scales and found deficient. ‘PERĒS’—your kingdom has been divided and given over to the Medes and Persians… That same night Belshazzar the Chaldean king was slain.” – Daniel 5:25-28,30

Last week before the inauguration we asked the Lord directly whether Obama will stay in office. Because I did not think Trump would actually reach the White House in light of who Obama is and his agenda. [NOTE: It is really challenging to interpret prophecy. I find the Lord will give some specifics about WHAT is coming but does not say much about HOW and WHEN. Sometimes I make assumptions and get emotionally attached to particular interpretations that may not turn out accurate. We have to keep seeking him and walking by faith!]

The first word He brought up was "circumference." Interesting because I had recently taught my daughter how to measure the circumference of a circle. You start at one point, go all the way around and end where you began. In other words, you go full circle and back to where you started. The question was whether Obama will stay in office, and the answer was something like "full circle."

Other words that came up were "claim" (to presidency or reins of power?) and "clash" (over competing claims to power?). Sounds like the story of Abimelech.

Before that my daughter saw something significant from our back window. She watched a large bird of prey, which she later identified as a golden eagle, holding a snake. Golden eagles are rare around here, but I have seen them before in the winter. A second golden eagle tried to take the snake and a struggle ensued. In the end, the eagle who first held the snake flew away with it triumphantly.

One more note. My interpretation of other words we received (shadow, dissimulate, distract) was that Obama still holds reins of power by controlling a shadow government. He and the globalists have spent the last 8 years installing their players in the CIA, Pentagon, Department of Homeland Security, FBI, etc. In fact, this country has been controlled by elites - the shadow government, the military-industrial complex, the deep state, whatever you want to call it - for decades. The last president that directly challenged the shadow government was John F. Kennedy when he denied the CIA's demand for air cover during the Bay of Pigs invasion, which would have led to re-invading Cuba and potentially war with the Soviet Union. Kennedy said no and then tried to tear apart the CIA. Everyone knows what happened to Kennedy in the end. The CIA, Lyndon Johnson and other members of government were behind it. It was a coup d'etat.

My point is don't be fooled into thinking Trump controls the executive branch of government. No president does fully anymore. But particularly now, the shadow government is running the globalists' New World Order agenda. Obama may have left office, but he still has power.

My warning to everyone is don't get caught up in the coming conflict. Be careful who you follow. It should only be Jesus Christ.
