An interesting piece in a recent Guardian notes how much Trump is an ordinary opportunist and like Elmer Gantry, “Trump’s interior religious landscape is a kind of politico-spiritual Ponzi scheme, and his politics flow from this.”
Considering how many Commandments Trump breaks, that failed faith by a non-believer allows for a plethora of evangelical rationalization.
But Trump, in this equation, therefore emerges as a liberator-messiah-ruler, and Washington as a kind of centralising Babylon. And you don’t need to be a genius to work out that Trump is the Cyrus who delivers all God-fearing Americans from that awful prospect of the Whore of Babylon (Book of Revelation, chapters 17 and 18) living in the White House. “Drain the swamp” and “lock her up” are therefore implicit religious rallying calls, not just injudicious hate speech. These are the chants of the self-proclaimed righteous.

Opportunism, pragmatism and positivism are the lessons Trump learned from (Norman Vincent) Peale’s pulpit. And as we know, operators of Ponzi grab the attention of investors by offering short-term returns that are either abnormally high or unusually consistent. Ponzi schemes rely on a constant flow of new investors to continue to provide returns. When the flow runs out, the scheme implodes.
The scheme is now imploding as #TrumpRussia shows how little actual faith is at work in the WH.
The 3rd Antichrist will corrupt Christianity. He will distort Islam. He will study & emulate The 2nd Antichrist (Hitler) trying to surpass him & avoid his mistakes. His ability to manipulate & influence will be like never before in the past (Twitter) ~Nostradamus
The Bible prophesies that the antichrist will sign a covenant between Israel and the Palestinians, which begins the Final Seven Years to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ and the Battle of Armageddon.
President Trump, his son-in-law Jared Kushner and longtime lawyer, Jason Greenblatt have worked fervently, on this “Ultimate Deal”, over the last 15 months.
It appears the Trump Administration is now waiting for the shock of his recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and the announcement to move the US embassy to Jerusalem to die down before presenting his peace plan.
Only time will tell if his peace plan will be “the” peace plan that starts Daniel’s seventieth week.
