The Most Investigated Man in History

Former President Donald J. Trump has to be the most investigated man in history. He was being investigated even before getting into office. The FBI planted moles into the Trump presidential campaign to find dirt on anyone. The FBI destroyed the lives of many people in the hopes they could be turned against Trump.

The Mueller investigation was triggered by the firing of FBI director James Comey. How can a President have someone working for him that tried to sabotage his campaign? The Mueller investigation was a huge waste of time and resources. Now it is ancient history because the left has moved on several times.

The American people should have expressed outrage when Congress conducted the second impeachment of Trump. The impeachment process was meant to be a very solemn procedure. The Democrats have turned it into a joke where a future presidential candidate can laugh off an impeachment, knowing he has enough members of his party to block his removal from office.

Since Donald J. Trump has been under constant investigation, I don’t see how he’d find time to do anything wrong. The left is demonically driven to keep looking for something new that is going to take Trump down. This is the behavior of a third-world nation, where the party in power persecutes its political enemies.

The number of inquiries, investigations, and lawsuits involving Trump is ridiculous overkill. Mobsters like Al Capone and John Gotti faced many changes in their lifetimes, but never six at one time:

— The FBI raided former President Donald J. Trump’s home in Florida, a step by the Justice Department in its apparent investigation into materials that were improperly taken by the former president, including classified documents, when he left office.

— In Washington, the House committee investigating the Capitol attack on Jan. 6, 2021, has used eight public hearings to lay out a comprehensive narrative of Mr. Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election. The panel is promising more evidence and more hearings in the fall.

— In New York, Attorney General Letitia James has been conducting a civil investigation into Mr. Trump and his family business, the outcome of which could result in a lawsuit or fines. The investigation is trying to determine if the Trump Organization fraudulently inflated the value of Mr. Trump’s assets.

— The Trump Organization and its longtime Chief Financial Officer Allen Weisselberg are awaiting trial on criminal charges in a 15-count indictment related to an alleged scheme to avoid taxes on compensation to the CFO and other executives since 2005. The defendants have pleaded not guilty.

— Trump has hired a prominent Atlanta lawyer to represent him in a criminal inquiry into election interference in Georgia. Trump is not a defendant, but that can change as a special grand jury is continuing to consider evidence and testimony, with several top Trump advisers still to appear. Ms. Fani T. Willis, the Atlanta-area district attorney, has said that she is weighing a number of potential criminal charges, including racketeering and conspiracy.

— Trump is scheduled to stand trial for a civil lawsuit in Manhattan federal court in February 2023 in a case where he is accused of defaming E. Jean Carroll in connection with her claim Trump raped her in the mid-1990s. Carroll quickly dropped off the radar because, in several interviews, she proved herself to be a lunatic. CNN had her on, and she wigged out Anderson Copper with weird personal questions; he quickly went to an emergency commercial. Her lawsuit has been allowed to advance because she is attacking Trump.

The Mar-a-Lago raid was completely unnecessary and damaging to our legal system. No former President of the United States has ever been subject to a raid of their personal residence in American history. People have lost sight of the danger of allowing the executive branch to go after a possible future candidate of the opposing party.

The government keeps track of all classified documents, and they should have simply asked for the return of missing documents. If they’ve been in Trump’s position for 20 months, they must not be that important. For years, presidents and attorney generals have taken home all types of classified material. Now we are going to suddenly play by the letter of the law a World War I act.

When Congress started the Jan. 6 investigation, they claimed it was just to uncover what happened that day. It quickly turned into the third impeachment of Donald Trump.

About half the country has lost faith in the system. Many people think that elections are rigged to favor one party. When it comes to President Trump, there are no rules. We are facing a future where each vote results in rioting, or we end up with a dictator who magically wins over 90% of the vote in each re-election.

“But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived” (2 Timothy 3:13).

Home Going!

Perhaps you will forgive the personal nature of this week’s commentary. Or, as I hope, maybe it will strike a common chord among those who are Heaven-bound.

I write this with a longtime friend in mind who shared the love of God in so many ways. Particularly, she loved God’s prophetic Word, and even more so the pre-Trib view of eschatology as presented by those who write for our website.

I’ve been expecting her home-going for quite some time due to her ill health and rapid deterioration. Nonetheless, I was more or less blindsided when my daughter informed me that my friend had passed away. I suppose one never gets easily past someone who is close leaving us, even if that person is a believer and you know they are now safe at home.

My friend, Gail Blackburn, lost her husband, Tom, not long ago. It was obvious when we talked on several occasions since Tom’s passing that Gail was looking forward to being free of the pain and crippled state she suffered and being with her beloved Tom again. She is now in that eternal realm and is enjoying life exactly as she was ready to accept.

God’s will was always in Gail’s servant’s heart. I know this as fact, because when we were on the phone, we discussed time and time again just what the Lord meant to her.

I am in a habit of saving voicemails I get from those I love on occasion, and today I have listened to a couple from Gail. Her love for Christ and all He had done for her was obvious even when she was simply leaving a message for me to call back when I could.

Part of Gail’s special gifts was the interest she took in helping guide younger women in helping them nurture their children.

Angie, in informing me of her passing away, wrote the following: “What an incredibly special woman and friend she was. I learned things from her as a young mom that have carried me through all phases of parenting and marriage.”

I’m certain this will be the thoughts of the many she touched over the years.

For me, she loved to talk about Jesus coming again in the Rapture. The Lord obviously wanted her next to Him before that glorious event, so she will be on the front line of the saints to greet those who are chosen to take part as those still alive at that magnificent moment.

You and I hope to be in that throng, of course. That’s why we are “Rapture ready,” as our website’s name indicates.

It has been conjectured, and I believe, that when Jesus calls us to Himself (Revelation 4:1), those still alive will somehow arrive at that face-to-face meeting with our Lord and Savior at precisely the moment those who have gone through the portal of death will see His wonderful face. God’s eternal realm is outside of the thing called time that He created for man. Anything is possible in that eternal sphere.

So we will see Gail, Tom, and all others gone before. And we will know each other as well as we know our own family members here on earth—even though we never met and even lived in other centuries.

What a glorious home-going that will be!

“But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.” (1 Thessalonians 4:13–17)

Most every Bible prophecy student is fairly certain that the number-one signal of where this generation stands on God’s prophetic timeline is centered within the modern nation of Israel. There can be no ending to this great, eternal drama if God’s chosen nation isn’t a major actor within the scenes to unfold as the play reaches its climax.

The proof of God being the play’s Author is His foreknowledge. He has said that Israel would be a nation again after its final diaspora (dispersion). As a matter of fact, His Word foretold that it would be reborn in a single day–which happened May 14, 1948.

God has put in writing that His people, the Jews, will yet have to go through the most terrible times of history. He laid it all out through the prophet Jeremiah (Jeremiah 30:7), Matthew the apostle (Matthew 24: 21), and John the Revelator (the book of Revelation from chapter 4 to the end).

He further said Israel would be the greatest of all nations, ultimately. The Millennial Kingdom will have His chosen nation as its apex nation, ruled over by the resurrected King David under the kingship of the Lord of all lords and King of all kings–Jesus Christ—for one thousand years.

So, to the true prophecy student, there is no doubt. Israel is the number-one signal of where things stand when the Tribulation closes in and the triumphant return of Jesus Christ nears.

Now, there are differing opinions on what other signals might be next in line beneath Israel. Here are some of the signals I think we will next be seeing:

Increase in wars and rumors of wars
Nations in alignment, as given in God’s Word—i.e., the Gog-Magog nations (Russia, Iran, Turkey, etc.)
Developments in the geopolitical world, such as the ten-kings developments found in Daniel, Luke, and other places; the EU as a reviving Roman Empire; and Daniel’s interpretation of Nebuchadnezzar’s dream image and the ten toes of iron mixed with miry clay
Religious apostasy, with the ecumenical movements, an apostate pope, and strange winds of doctrines that continue to assault true Christianity
Some are prone to count as signs some geophysical events such as storms, and other strange-weather events, and earthquake activity. I don’t discount these, but don’t see them as major signs at this point.
The increase in Antichrist-spirit evil with regard to occultic activities such as directing humanity toward Mother Earth worship (climate-change madness) and conjuring through demonic rituals, etc., as the cultures and societies of the world descend toward the abyss

And, along this line, the Antichrist spirit and all wickedness attendant to it. (In fact, I’ve about concluded this might be the number-two signal, right beneath Israel.) Within this satanic sin-infection of most all of humanity at this late hour of the age, I believe we can spotlight the manifestation of a particular evil. The specific evil that jumps out from the slide under God’s microscope–the Holy Bible—can be discerned, I believe, through reports like the following:

Eleven people have appeared in court accused of taking part in a child sex ring which also allegedly involves witchcraft, serious violence, and neglect.

The sex ring mainly centers around two young girls and a boy between 2010 and 2020, all in Glasgow, a court heard.

According to prosecutors, the eleven suspects are said to have gotten the boy and the older girl to take part in ‘seances (and) use a Ouija board…to call on spirits and demons’ as part of the sex ring.

They also allegedly got the children involved in ‘witchcraft,’ leading them to believe that they themselves had ‘metamorphosed into animals.’

The group of seven men and four women are also believed to have worn cloaks and devil horns as well as making the young boy stab a budgie [parakeet/small parrot species popular as pets] to death.

It is also claimed the children were forced to take part in satanic ‘seances’ and made to kill animals – including dogs – as part of the ring that is thought to have spanned across a decade.

The accusations claim that the three young children were raped at different times while some of the group did ‘clap, cheer and verbally encourage’ and film a ten-year-old girl being sexually assaulted. (“Eleven people in court charged with child sex abuse ring allegedly involving ‘witchcraft’,” Daily Mail Online, Rapture Ready News, August 5, 2022)

As history will attest, most every civilization that has been on earth has perpetrated the worse kind of perverseness and wickedness against children in the final throes of its existence. Even in the case of Israel, we know they made their little ones to pass through the white-hot hands of the idol Moloch. The Greek and Roman Empires each had the grossest forms of pedophilia, even within the top levels of government, in days leading up to their demise.

Today, the murder of millions of babies in their mothers’ wombs makes our time like those days when the idol-god Moloch was used to burn children alive.

All of the other things mentioned above–the signals we have discussed in this forum over the years—now seem to have, at this advanced date of the age, coalesced. The luciferically-spawned wickedness has brought the world to the point of totally depraved activity against children. Like in the days of Noah, the minds of men are almost always on evil continually. There seems nothing left to be done by Heaven’s governance than to institute God’s judgment and wrath.

So I believe a case can be made that this worldwide movement to inflict Satan’s murderous intentions upon the most helpless among humankind–the children—constitutes the second greatest signal of how near is the Tribulation and God’s Wrath.

That means the Rapture of the Church is even nearer than that seven years of hell on earth. Here is how to escape the judgment and wrath that is coming, perhaps very soon.

“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” (Romans 10:9–10).
