3 Compelling Reasons Trump's Presidency Is Also Divine


Perhaps there has never been a leader in at least modern history of the United States of America with as many character flaws and questions as the 45th president, Donald J. Trump. From his personal life and affairs  with women, his open bullies and racial hates; to his dubious business dealings that perhaps inform in part the reasons he probably has not and will never release his tax returns through out his presidential campaigns and his presidency. Mr. Trump has defied many standards and traditions of the American Presidency.

First, like any other leader or person in authority, Mr. Trump did not become president without divinity. Authority is established and appointed by God (Romans 13:1). And, according to Daniel 4:17; God rules in the kingdom of men, He gives it to whomever He will, and sets over it the lowest of men. And whereas to some in America and across the world, Mr. Trump's presidency has cost them human dignity, opportunities, relationships, and their (American) dreams, making it a bad omen; there are certain others also that Mr. Trump's presidency excite and incite, and for those ones, it is the good thing they've been waiting for all their lives. Even the spirit of the American nation as a country is crying out as its cedes its place, reputations and role on the global stage. and if you are among those with eyes that see and you are asking how could this be God, how did God allow evil to befall us, what did we do wrong? Your answer can be found in Job 2:9-10. it is like foolishness to always only expect good from God and not evil, trouble or adversity? It is in adversity that we can learn to appreciate good.

Second, and very importantly, God allowed Mr. Trump to become the head and leader of the Conservative/Republican party and the conservatives to expose their hypocrisy. Mr. Trump has been raised as the conservatives’ standard bearer for conscience and soul searching. This,  in a way is, Jesus, again receiving from the stone-carrying conservatives, those who they say have committed or are contemplating abortion, the lesbians, gays,  transgenders and others they have brought out to stone. And Jesus is asking them, "who among you has not sinned, let him cast the first stone," then going down to scribble something on the ground for them to search themselves by looking at their flag-bearer and model, Mr. Trump. God is still writing on the ground, and we can bet by the time He raises His head, all the stone-carrying conservatives would have one by one dropped their stones and begone in shame. Then the Lord will turn to the accused and say "where are your accusers? Neither do I condemn you, go and sin no more!" And even if this means go and commit abortion no more, be gay or lesbian no more or do any other thing you are accused of or were caught doing no more, it would be that Jesus is saying it out of His immense love, mercy and compassion, and with His knowledge and understanding of our frame and struggles as human beings and with His outstretched Arm of grace that is ever ready to help and save at any point and time. Jesus is not like the control-loving and self-seeking hypocrites who but for Christ, are just as filthy and guilty, and who leave the planks in their own eyes to get too nervous about the specks in their brothers' and neighbors' eyes (John 8:1-11; Matthew 7:5).

Third, at the eve and in season of change, often, historically, there is bound to be rattling. And rattling is not without casualties. There can be terrible breakdown before breakthrough. God wants to do a new thing, and part of it is to tame religious control to pave the way for more of true and genuine spirituality whereby individuals personal relationship with Him become paramount; to tame global control of other sovereignties by so called supper powers, and empower nations that fine this a period to re-strategize and not have to remain perpetually subjects to others by always begging for aids. This is because the giver is higher than the receiver and the borrower is slave to the creditor. It is in part the reason He allowed the rise of an American king that taunts and shames certain other countries of the world and the people of those countries in the 21st century. Every time there is about to be a change or new order in the world, some terrible and terrifying kings ascend the reigns, both words which have been used severally by many across the world to describe Mr. Trump.

It must be noted that if today’s story is written for tomorrow’s history readers; it will sound just like when it was time for the children of Israel to change status ~ to be delivered from the hands of their slave masters, and power had to change hands. For that to happen, another Pharaoh that did not know Joseph arose in Egypt (Exodus 1:8). In today’s story, it will probably be that another king (or “president”) whose grandfather was a German immigrant also, arose (or was elected) in the United States of America that did not know (or pretended not to know) that America is a country of immigrants. And that the king began to bully and brutalize especially, the non European Americans, saying, ‘look, they are increasing in number, they are taking our jobs, killing our people, “taking the girls,”…, and so on and so forth. And, without in any way promoting any conspiracy that is out there by any means; it might also be written that at the eve of the fourth year of the reigns of the king of America, when it was close to the time for him to stand re-election, that it came to pass that the Lord God caused the spirit called plague to enter into certain men of reason  in Wuhan – China. And the men thought to themselves, 'what shall we do to further upset and destabilize the already stubborn and unsteady king of America?' And although the men of Wuhan feared that innocence lives will be affected in the world, they went ahead to release a biological pathogen that would plague millions with disease, causing the  death of millions of people and bringing the world to a stand still because of the spirit of plague. And that, whereas men of reason and lay people across the world called the pathogen corona virus, for it makes it hard to breath; the king of America called it Chinesisches Virus, meaning Chinese virus in German ~ his ancestral language, for the king of America thought to himself, ‘the people of China have done this to get at me.’ But the king would not for fear of the people say this out publicly many times.
