Well, Trump really did it this
time!
time!
By Richard P. Joseph
In December, 2017 President Donald J. Trump declared that he will
recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. As you can guess this
started a hailstorm of comments by so called prophecy watchers that
this is yet another marker of the end times. Of course I have been hearing
this same trumpet for my entire life. I was born just before John Kennedy
took office and from my earliest memories starting with Nixon I have been
hearing the same worn out story using the same worn out scriptures.
Of course the scriptures are not worn out, it is the false prophets that are
worn out. Here is how the story goes.

Israel returns to their homeland. A European union reforms. There is a
false messiah set up who declares “peace,peace”. Then Russia drops a
nuclear bomb on Israel. Then there is a rapture and planes fall from the
sky. Then the earth burns up with fire. Then there is 1,000 years where
Jesus is king of a burnt up earth with his saints. Then the church people
that fell for this garbage will still be arguing over when the rapture is
supposed to be. Then bla bla bla. While doing all of this they pull
scriptures out of context at random to prove each point. And all that
really happens is a few slick scam artists are making a lot of money and
the world is going to pot because of all of the faulty theology out there.

I love Donald Trump but I hope he stops getting sucked in by these false
prophets of doom. I would like to sit down with him and explain that none
of the above scenario is anywhere in scripture. Here is what Jesus
thought of Israel.

37 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones
those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your
children together, the way a hen gathers her chicks under her
wings, and you were unwilling.38 Behold, your house is being
left to you desolate! 39 For I say to you, from now on you will
not see Me until you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name
of the Lord!’” Matthew 23:37-39

Jesus promised them that their house would be left desolate.
The new house was being built by the disciples and called the
church. The disciples asked Jesus when would this take place.
Jesus made it clear by multiple parables and sayings that it
would be the current generation of people that would experience
all of this calamity. In fact he just got done saying it in Matthew
23:36

I would have to quote the entire New Testament if you want
more passages like the one above. In fact I challenge you to
go back and read the entire New Testament keeping in mind
when Jesus was going to return and who he was going to
punish. Let me give you a hint; it was soon and it was
unfaithful Israel. It was not thousands of years later and it was
not his church. It was not Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush,
etc, Gorbachev, Husain, Mae, or Trump. The book of Revelation,
which was written circa AD63 was the announcement that the
second coming was about to begin. In seven years it was all
over. If you want more information about what happened,
please leave a comment and ask.

Oh, ps I think Trump did the right thing!
