Who is counting this time?

@dmatic That's a difficult question. I guess you'll have to wait and maybe even be there to find out.

Better to fight smart when your opponent has serpentine wisdom.

@eschatologyguy Like David did? You're suggesting MTG is not smart?

@dmatic I've seen enough responses to this, and it's either paralysis or lashing out. You tend to lose focus when you're angry. The fact that she's blurting out their course of action and forewarning their political opponents means there's a form of lashing out. To fight the Left you need to stay focused.

@eschatologyguy I would guess that there are many strategies, but the most important is to follow God's instructions. He is the Commander in Chief

Many were killed, including at least 2 US presidents.

Nope.

@dmatic Trump has nerves of steel. I'm sure he's hurting. But he's also angry. That's why I think y'all should put him back in the WH, so he can put that anger to good use.

@eschatologyguy Man's anger does not work the righteousness God intends. I would reclassify his "anger" as resolve? God is not finished with Trump, yet, as far as I know.

@dmatic I don't know what it is exactly that you mean. But there is a time for everything, says the teacher.

@eschatologyguy and @dmatic There are several contemporary American "prophets" who speak of Trump as an instrument of God. I don't know one way or the other, however the Good Lord works at times with some pretty strange instruments, putting them to good use.

@toronto_Georgia I'm in full agreement with you there. Me? I am a non-prophet organization I only go by the the book the best I can, trying not to bring my old presuppositions into the text. Having man-written "confessions of faith" can sometimes leave us with blind spots.

@eschatologyguy James 1:20

@eschatologyguy, @toronto_Georgia Yes, The Donald is God's and He is going to Trump the enemies with him...I hope. At any rate, I have a friend who told me in 2016 (Feb.) that 21 years previous God whispered into his ear: "Wait until I play My Donald Trump card."

@dmatic

James 1:20

You think this is about wrath and not about defending constituents? And the children of constituents? So it's now wrath to unseat wicked politicians? With scripture, context is key.

And I'd take any "whisper in the ear" prophecy with a grain of salt these days. None of these self-proclaimed prophets predicted a Biden in the White House. Not a single one.

@toronto_Georgia

who speak of Trump as an instrument of God

Anyone who does good is doing God's will. I'm not contesting that part. It is the "prophesied" outcomes that miss the mark.

Deuteronomy 18:22
"When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him."

Is that the case with The Donald?

He did mostly good, so I'd say mostly yes. He did offer much welcome respite to Woke leadership. He just didn't see the extent of the "swamp." I think he'd have been more forceful if he did.

@eschatologyguy I think you said something about anger being put to good use. I was just saying that man;s anger does not work the righteousness that God intends, which is what the scripture says. My friend is not a prophet, nor claiming to be one, he simply told me what God had told him. Sorry if that offends you.

@dmatic

Not offended. But "troubled" would still be too strong a word. Perplexed? I'd rather you asked first what I meant by what I said.

My friend is not a prophet, nor claiming to be one, he simply told me what God had told him.

That's the very definition of a prophet. When somebody starts saying "God told me" or "God impressed upon me," that person is really qualifying what he says next as having God's imprimatur. It's not just coming from him, you see. If he says he's not a prophet and yet says these things, he's really speaking from both sides of his mouth. And that alone is deceptive.

I think you said something about anger being put to good use

Again, context. Anybody so maligned for so long would definitely be angry. But watching your country being trampled by deceivers in public office would also cause anyone to be angry. So far he has not gone beyond what is legal and limited himself to just calling them out publicly. Should he be elected again - Lord willing - into the White House, he will no longet have any illusions as to what these people are: national security threats. And should that happen, that will be anger put to good use.

That could well be it.
