Why TRUMP could WIN

 

Ecclesiastes 3:17

King James Version

17 I said in mine heart, 

God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: 

for there is a time there for every purpose 

and for every work.

Who do you think will win the U.S. elections?

Where are you getting your facts from?

I had no idea I'd be writing this post.

Much less make a claim.

All I know is at the back of my mind, I was wondering if Trump would win.

I felt he could; if they would.

You know what happened in 2020.

If Elon had his way, it will be paper ballots.

And not electronic.

This, from a knowledgeable tech guy.

So, I searched Scripture for answers.

Looking for a spiritual "handle" on things.

Graciously, SPIRIT led me to significant things.

Making me take it one step at a time.

Sort of a "crash-course" in American politics.

One clue leading to another, and another.

Until He led me to a particular verse.

Which seemed to give the DEFINITIVE "answer".

But first, the sequence of fantastic eye-openers.

So, please be patient, and have a look:

1. Todd Friel corrects us all about the type of government America has. 

He said, "America is not a democracy!", but a "representative republic".

2. So I searched for "representative republic", and was led to 

John C. Aldieri's one-page pdf which explains the difference between "democracy" and "republic".

In simplest terms, he defines the difference:

"By definition, a republic is a representative form of  government that is ruled according to a charter, or constitution, and a democracy is a government that is ruled according to the will of the majority."

From that, Connecticut firefighter Aldieri also said:

"If your confused about what we have here in America,... its a Republic. " I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, 

and to the R E P U B L I C for which it stands. "

3. Picking up that "Pledge of Allegiance" thread, I discover the "pledge" at Wikipedia:

"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

True enough, America is a REPUBLIC!

Note the "one nation under God" vital phrase.

"The first version was written in 1885 by Captain George Thatcher Balch, a Union Army officer in the Civil War who later authored a book on how to teach patriotism to children in public schools."

4. From that Wikipedia link, SPIRIT led me to the sub-heading, Addition of "under God":

"Louis Albert Bowman, an attorney from Illinois, was the first to suggest the addition of "under God" to the pledge. The National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution gave him an Award of Merit as the originator of this idea.[37][38] He spent his adult life in the Chicago area and was chaplain of the Illinois Society of the Sons of the American Revolution."

5. Bowman credited Abraham Lincoln for the words, "under God".

"At a meeting on February 12, 1948,[37] he led the society in reciting the pledge with the two words "under God" added. He said that the words came from Lincoln's Gettysburg Address."

-- Wikipedia

6. Naturally, I gravitated to Abraham Lincoln's "Gettysburg Address". 

The words "under God" were in it:

"that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain-that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom..."

-- "Voices of Democracy"

7. Wanting to know more about Lincoln, we looked to Wikipedia.

We learn that he was the 16th president of the United States.

And the FIRST Republican president, wow!

Am I on to something here, or what??!!

So, before Lincoln, 15 other presidents were either Federalists, Democratic Republicans (there was such a thing?), and Whigs.

This, I learned from my kids' book, "Mr. President, A Book of U.S. Presidents".

8. Appalled at how Kamala and her group have conducted themselves, I searched Scripture for verses describing their traits, and agenda.

I had to be sure why I was feeling the way I did about their antique "antics".

Satan's old tricks; just new faces.

Anyway, SPIRIT led me to these:

Matthew 7:15

King James Version

15 Beware of false prophets, 

which come to you in sheep's clothing, 

but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Matthew 24:11-14

King James Version

11 And many false prophets shall rise, 

and shall deceive many.

12 And because iniquity shall abound, 

the love of many shall wax cold.

13 But he that shall endure unto the end, 

the same shall be saved.

14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached 

in all the world for a witness unto all nations; 

and then shall the end come.

Matthew 24:24

King James Version

24 For there shall arise false Christs, 

and false prophets, 

and shall shew great signs and wonders; 

insomuch that, if it were possible, 

they shall deceive the very elect.

2 Corinthians 11:13-15

King James Version

13 For such are false apostles, 

deceitful workers, 

transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.

14 And no marvel; for Satan himself 

is transformed into an angel of light.

15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers 

also be transformed 

as the ministers of righteousness; 

whose end shall be according to their works.

Galatians 2:6

King James Version

6 But of these who seemed to be somewhat, 

(whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me: 

God accepteth no man's person:) 

for they who seemed to be somewhat in conference 

added nothing to me:

2 Timothy 3:13-14

King James Version

13 But evil men and seducers 

shall wax worse and worse, 

deceiving, and being deceived.

14 But continue thou in the things 

which thou hast learned 

and hast been assured of, 

knowing of whom thou hast learned them;

2 Peter 2 KJV

And then, as if "out of the blue", SPIRIT led me to this VERY telling verse:

Ecclesiastes 3:15

King James Version

15 That which hath been is now; 

and that which is to be hath already been; 

and God requireth that which is past.

Seems, the "NEW" president of the United States has JUST been REVEALED!

But, as SPIRIT taught me early on, we "rightly divided" the verse.

So, we looked through each set of phrases, and the person these were obviously referring to, at this moment in time:

"That which hath been is now;"

Trump was 45th U.S. president; seems he will become 47th.

"and that which is to be hath already been;"

If Trump is to win now, it was because he had already won before.

"and God requireth that which is past."

That feels like GOD will make past-president Trump the 47th.

The clarity of SPIRIT's guidance is in SHARP contrast to what Kamala kept programming us early on:

"What can be unburdened 

by what has been."

Which was the vaguest of vague.

But the HOLY SPIRIT helped me "decode" that.

And today, SPIRIT leads me to that Ecclesiastes 3:15 verse.

That seems to identify the winner of this 2024 U.S. elections.

And I thank SPIRIT for leading me to it today.

Only GOD owns the "which hath been" concept.

Not Kamala, or her Marxist friends.

Because of their schemes, they will be a "has been".

Satan's old tricks are boring.

He's so yesterday.

Nothing could be more exciting than aligning yourself with JESUS.

You have no idea the LORD's power.

You have no idea His promises.

So here ends my journey regarding U.S. politics.

Only because a born again focuses on a different campaign.

A lasting, and winning one.

The MAGNIFICENT city

Hebrews 11:10

King James Version

10 For he looked for a city which hath foundations, 

whose builder and maker is God.

For all who are weary of this world.

For all who have nothing in this world.

For all who are tired of the world's deception.

There is something magnificent to look forward to.

There will be a city, promised by GOD.

Of such glory, beauty, and magnificence.

No earthly palace, nor city, can compare.

Who can live there?

All who are born again in CHRIST.

All who love GOD, and believe in JESUS.

All who have dropped all sin, foolishness, and wickedness.

All who have repented of their evil deeds.

All who long for what only GOD can give.

All who listen to, and walk with SPIRIT.

All who have held on, to the end.

We may have troubles today.

We may be persecuted today.

We may be exhausted today.

But we must keep on.

We must keep the faith in CHRIST.

We must endure all our temporary afflictions.

Matthew 24:13

King James Version

13 But he that shall endure unto the end, 

the same shall be saved.

2 Corinthians 4:16-17

King James Version

16 For which cause we faint not; 

but though our outward man perish, 

yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

which is but for a moment, 

worketh for us a far more exceeding 

and eternal weight of glory;

That magnificent city will come.

Apostle John saw it.

He was given the vision.

And here's what to expect.

After the last battle where CHRIST triumphs.

And evil will be no more:

and be their God.

Write: 

for these words are true and faithful.

Revelation 21:6

King James Version

the Lamb's wife.

10 And he carried me away in the spirit 

to a great and high mountain, 

and shewed me that great city, 

the holy Jerusalem, 

descending out of heaven from God,

11 Having the glory of God: 

and her light was like unto a stone most precious, 

even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;

Revelation 21:12

King James Version

12 And had a wall great and high, 

and had twelve gates, 

and at the gates twelve angels, 

and names written thereon, 

which are the names of the twelve tribes 

of the children of Israel:

on the north three gates; 

on the south three gates;

of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

15 And he that talked with me 

had a golden reed to measure the city, 

and the gates thereof, 

and the wall thereof.

16 And the city lieth foursquare, 

and the length is as large as the breadth: 

and he measured the city with the reed, 

twelve thousand furlongs. 

The length and the breadth and the height of it

 are equal.

17 And he measured the wall thereof, 

an hundred and forty and four cubits, 

according to the measure of a man, 

that is, of the angel.

the sixth, sardius; 

the seventh, chrysolyte;

the ninth, a topaz; 

the tenth, a chrysoprasus; 

the eleventh, a jacinth; 

the twelfth, an amethyst.

every several gate was of one pearl: 

and the street of the city was pure gold,

 as it were transparent glass.

Revelation 21:22

King James Version

for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb 

are the temple of it.

Revelation 21:23-24

King James Version

neither of the moon, to shine in it: 

for the glory of God did lighten it,

shall walk in the light of it:

clear as crystal, 

proceeding out of the throne of God 

and of the Lamb.

King James Version

2 In the midst of the street of it, 

and on either side of the river, 

was there the tree of life, 

which bare twelve manner of fruits, 

and yielded her fruit every month: 

and the leaves of the tree were 

for the healing of the nations.

Revelation 22:3-4

King James Version

Revelation 22:5

King James Version

5 And there shall be no night there; 

and they need no candle, 

neither light of the sun;

Be born again now.

Be perfect now.

Be holy now.

For these CANNOT enter the city's gates:

Revelation 21:8

King James Version

and the abominable, and murderers, 

and whoremongers, and sorcerers, 

and idolaters, and all liars, 

shall have their part in the lake 

which burneth with fire and brimstone: 

which is the second death.

Revelation 21:27

King James Version

any thing that defileth, 

neither whatsoever worketh abomination, 

or maketh a lie: 

but they which are written 

in the Lamb's book of life.

Revelation 22:14-15

King James Version

14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, 

that they may have right to the tree of life,

 and may enter in through the gates into the city.

15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, 

and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, 

and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

Revelation 22:19

King James Version

19 And if any man shall take away 

from the words of the book of this prophecy, 

God shall take away his part out of the book of life, 

and out of the holy city, 

and from the things which are written 

in this book.

Be aware that the time is "at hand".

GOD's angel declares:

Revelation 22:6

King James Version

6 And he said unto me, 

These sayings are faithful and true: 

and the Lord God of the holy prophets 

sent his angel to shew unto his servants 

the things which must shortly be done.

Revelation 22:10-11

King James Version

10 And he saith unto me, 

Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: 

for the time is at hand.

11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: 

and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: 

and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: 

and he that is holy, let him be holy still.

JESUS declares:

Revelation 22:7

King James Version

7 Behold, I come quickly: 

blessed is he that keepeth the sayings 

of the prophecy of this book.

Revelation 22:12-13

King James Version

12 And, behold, I come quickly; 

and my reward is with me, 

to give every man according as his work shall be.

13 I am Alpha and Omega, 

the beginning and the end, 

the first and the last.

Revelation 22:20

King James Version

20 He which testifieth these things saith, 

Surely I come quickly. 

Amen. 

Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

When JESUS emphasizes something, He does something.

He says it THREE times. 

Such as in these THREE words:

"I come quickly."

That's why we must heed the LORD's command:

Mark 1:15

King James Version

15 And saying, 

The time is fulfilled, 

and the kingdom of God is at hand: 

repent ye, 

and believe the gospel.

If you wish to be citizen of that city, our response should be:

Revelation 22:17

King James Version

17 And the Spirit and the bride say, 

Come. 

And let him that heareth say, 

Come. 

And let him that is athirst 

come. 

And whosoever will, 

let him take the water of life freely.

KIDRON valley DESTINY

 

"A view of Jerusalem from the south. Hinnom valley in foreground and Kidron valley to the right."

-- Free Bible Images

What is the significance of Kidron Valley?

What does the Bible say?

What was its past?

What is its present state?

What is its future?

Here's where SPIRIT led me.

First, what is the KIDRON valley?

"Kidron Valley (classical transliteration, Cedron, from Hebrew: נחל קדרון, Naḥal Qidron, literally Qidron River; also Qidron Valley)[1][2][3][4] is the modern name of the valley originating slightly northeast of the Old City of Jerusalem, which then separates the Temple Mount from the Mount of Olives, and ending at the Dead Sea. Beyond Jerusalem it continues in a general south-easterly direction through the Judean desert in the West Bank, reaching the Dead Sea near the settlement of Ovnat, and descending 4,000 feet (1,200 m) along its 20-mile (32 km) course."

-- Wikipedia

Its PAST.

King David flees Jerusalem, during Absalom's rebellion, crossing the Kidron valley:

2 Samuel 15:22-25

King James Version

22 And David said to Ittai, 

Go and pass over. 

And Ittai the Gittite passed over, 

and all his men, 

and all the little ones that were with him.

23 And all the country wept with a loud voice, 

and all the people passed over: 

the king also himself passed over the brook Kidron, 

and all the people passed over, 

toward the way of the wilderness.

24 And lo Zadok also, 

and all the Levites were with him, 

bearing the ark of the covenant of God: 

and they set down the ark of God; 

and Abiathar went up, 

until all the people had done passing out of the city.

25 And the king said unto Zadok, 

Carry back the ark of God into the city: 

if I shall find favour in the eyes of the Lord, 

he will bring me again, 

and shew me both it, and his habitation:

Under king Asa:

1 Kings 15:11-13

King James Version

11 And Asa did that which was right 

in the eyes of the Lord, as did David his father.

12 And he took away the sodomites out of the land, 

and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.

13 And also Maachah his mother, 

even her he removed from being queen, 

because she had made an idol in a grove; 

and Asa destroyed her idol, 

and burnt it by the brook Kidron.

Under king Josiah:

2 Kings 23:4-6

King James Version

4 And the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, 

and the priests of the second order, 

and the keepers of the door, 

to bring forth out of the temple of the Lord 

all the vessels that were made for Baal, 

and for the grove, 

and for all the host of heaven: 

and he burned them without Jerusalem 

in the fields of Kidron, 

and carried the ashes of them unto Bethel.

5 And he put down the idolatrous priests, 

whom the kings of Judah had ordained 

to burn incense in the high places 

in the cities of Judah, 

and in the places round about Jerusalem; 

them also that burned incense unto Baal, 

to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, 

and to all the host of heaven.

6 And he brought out the grove 

from the house of the Lord, 

without Jerusalem, 

unto the brook Kidron, 

and burned it at the brook Kidron, 

and stamped it small to powder, 

and cast the powder thereof 

upon the graves of the children of the people.

Under king Hezekiah:

2 Chronicles 29:15-16

King James Version

15 And they gathered their brethren, 

and sanctified themselves, 

and came, 

according to the commandment of the king, 

by the words of the Lord, 

to cleanse the house of the Lord.

16 And the priests went 

into the inner part of the house of the Lord, 

to cleanse it, 

and brought out all the uncleanness 

that they found in the temple of the Lord 

into the court of the house of the Lord. 

And the Levites took it, 

to carry it out abroad into the brook Kidron.

After praising His Father, JESUS, with His disciples, go "over the brook Cedron":

John 18:1

King James Version

18 When Jesus had spoken these words, 

he went forth with his disciples 

over the brook Cedron, 

where was a garden, 

into the which he entered, 

and his disciples.

It is also where JESUS was betrayed:

John 18:2-6

King James Version

2 And Judas also, which betrayed him, 

knew the place: 

for Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples.

3 Judas then, 

having received a band of men and officers 

from the chief priests and Pharisees, 

cometh thither with lanterns 

and torches and weapons.

4 Jesus therefore, 

knowing all things that should come upon him, 

went forth, and said unto them, 

Whom seek ye?

5 They answered him, 

Jesus of Nazareth. 

Jesus saith unto them, 

I am he. 

And Judas also, which betrayed him, 

stood with them.

6 As soon then as he had said unto them, 

I am he, they went backward, 

and fell to the ground.

Kidron valley has had a dark past.

A very dark, sad, and painful past.

In testimony of man's abominations against GOD.

It has witnessed these things:

1. The presence of FIVE kings, foremost of which was JESUS.

2. The betrayal of GOD, and His temple, through man's idols.

3. The burning, and dumping, of such objects of betrayals.

4. The fleeing of king David, from his son's rebellion.

5. The betrayal of JESUS.

Its PRESENT.

Despite a painful past, Kidron valley is seeing a physical "regeneration":

"Kidron stream restoration project"

"Currently, part of East Jerusalem's and the Palestinian Authority's sewage waters flow freely into the Kidron stream causing severe environmental damage in the Judean desert and the Dead sea area. In a rare collaboration with the Palestinian Authority, Hagihon is leading the Kidron stream restoration project with a budget of close to a billion shekels. According to the plan the sewage flow to the stream will be stopped and diverted to a new collection line, through an 8-km long pipe to the Og purification facility. To avoid damage to the natural valley as well as to the Marsaba Monastery and other archeological sites, the route of the sewage line was diverted from the stream itself, through a 60 meter deep 1.3 km long tunnel. The project also includes the construction of a hydroelectric station to generate green electricity. The purified water will be used for agriculture and irrigation of palm groves in the Jordan Valley and the Palestinian Authority."

-- Wikipedia

Its FUTURE.

Pain, and betrayal, shall be no more.

The valley will have a spiritual "regeneration".

As prophesied by prophet Jeremiah, Kidron valley shall truly be sanctified and be "holy unto the Lord":

Jeremiah 31:40

King James Version

40 And the whole valley of the dead bodies, 

and of the ashes, 

and all the fields unto the brook of Kidron, 

unto the corner of the horse gate toward the east, 

shall be holy unto the Lord; 

it shall not be plucked up, 

nor thrown down any more 

for ever.
