Concerning Pres. Trump, a friend of mine recently reminded me that the Bible mentions the last trump.

Actually, the word “Trump” appears in the Bible twice, and both passages are about the Rapture.

  • The trump of God (I Cor. 15:52), and the Last trump (I Thess. 4:16).

Some scholars believe the number 7 has significance in the Bible.

Some have noticed that:

  • God created the heavens and the earth in 6 days and rested on the 7th.
  • Man is to work 6 days and rest on the 7th.
  • The Jews were to plant crops 6 years at let the land rest during the 7th.
  • Methuselah died 7 days before the Flood.
  • God told the Jews to celebrate 7 Feast Days.
  • There are 70 (10 X 7) weeks of Daniel.
  • The Jews spent 70 (10 X 7) years in Babylon.
  • The Tribulation Period will begin with a 7-year covenant.
  • The days of our years are threescore and ten (70), etc.

In the Book of Revelation, there are 54 sets of 7.

  • There is a 7-sealed scroll.
  • 7 letters to 7 churches.
  • 7 seal, 7 trumpet, and 7 bowl judgments.
  • 7 thunders, 7 spirits of God, 7 I Am’s.
  • 7 stars, 7 golden candlesticks, 7 hills and more.

God named at least four people in the Bible before they were born:

  • Isaac (Gen. 17:19).
  • King Cyrus (Isa. 44:28; Ezra 1:1-11).
  • King Josiah (I Kings 13:2; II Kings 23:10-15).
  • Jesus, also called Immanuel or Emmanuel (Isa. 7:14; Matt. 1:23; Luke 1:31).

At least two of these people were born at a set time or in the fullness of time:

  • Isaac was born at a set time (Gen. 17:21).
  • Jesus was born in the fullness of time (Gal. 4:4).

Here are some things that were reported about Pres. Trump and Prime Min. Netanyahu when Trump was elected the first time.

  • Trump was born 700 days before Israel became a nation in 1948.
  • Benjamin Netanyahu had been in office 7 years, 7 months, and 7 days on the day Donald Trump was elected.
  • Trump was 70 years, 7 months, and 7 days old on the day he was inaugurated.

Is this a coincidence?

I do not know.

I just find it interesting.

Also, I am not predicting the day or the hour of the Rapture, but I believe it is entirely possible that he will be the last President before the Rapture.

Here are some recent events that seem to relate to Bible prophecy.

One, concerning God blessing those that bless Israel: at a press conference following Trump’s meeting with Netanyahu on Feb. 4, 2025, Netanyahu thanked Trump,

  • For being the greatest friend Israel has ever had in the White House.
  • For inviting him to be the first foreign leader to visit the White House during Trump’s second term.
  • For freeing up the shipment of munitions that Israel had bought from the U.S. and that the Biden administration wouldn’t allow to be shipped at a time when Israel was fighting a war of seven fronts.
  • For ending U.S. sanctions on law-abiding Jews in Israel.
  • For confronting anti-Semitism (on college campuses, etc.) in the U.S.
  • For cutting off funding to the UNRWA that employed Hamas terrorists.
  • For putting sanctions on Iran’s oil exports because of Iran’s efforts to build Nuclear weapons.

Two, concerning God blessing those that bless Israel: on Feb. 5, 2025, it was reported that most polls show that Pres. Trump is the most pro-Israel Pres. ever for five reasons:

  • Urging Jordan and Egypt to Resettle Gaza Arabs.
  • Building the Most Pro-Israel Cabinet Ever.
  • Designating Iranian-Backed Houthis as Terrorists.
  • Permanently Cutting Off All Funding to UNRWA.
  • Lifting Biden’s Sanctions on Jewish Settlers.

(My opinion: I am thankful that Trump is blessing Israel the way he is and pray that he continues, but I am very concerned that Israel will feel more secure and more willing to sign a worthless peace treaty. I am very concerned that Israel may soon transition from fighting a war on seven fronts to an attitude of peace and safety. We also know that Israel will feel secure when the Battle of Gog and Magog takes place and Israel’s secure feeling might be shaping up. These things will happen.)

Three, I have heard a few people say, “We can’t make America great again without God.”

On Feb. 6, 2025, in a speech at the National Prayer Breakfast in the Capitol in Washington, D.C., Pres. Trump said, “Let’s bring God back into our lives.”

Following the breakfast, Trump signed an executive order to create a task force to root out anti-Christian bias in the U.S. federal government.

He directed Attorney Gen. Pam Bondi “To move heaven and earth to defend the rights of Christians and religious believers nationwide.”

Four, concerning God blessing those that bless Israel: on Feb. 7, 2025, Japan pledged to invest one trillion dollars in the U.S.

Japan wants the two nations to collaborate on energy, technology, and manufacturing; they want to import record amounts of natural gas from the U.S. and to work with the U.S. to drill for more oil and natural gas in Alaska.

Japan also wants to work with the U.S. to promote peace and security (peace and safety) on Earth.

Five, concerning a possible Psa. 83 war before the Battle of Gog and Magog: on Feb. 6, 2025, it was reported that Jordan is preparing for war with Israel in case Trump tries to go through with his plan to move Palestinians from Gaza to Jordan and Egypt.

According to the article, Jordan knows they could not win a war with Israel, but they could be forced into one. So, Jordan wants a peaceful solution to the issue, not a war with Israel.

Six, concerning the U.S. taking over Gaza: on Feb. 5, 2025, U.S. National Security Advisor Mike Waltz said Pres. Trump’s plan to take over Gaza was intended to pressure neighboring Arab nations to propose their own solution to the decades-old Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Waltz said Trump’s plan would improve the lives of the Gazans, and Trump wants the Arabs to propose an alternative that will do likewise (improve the lives of the Gazans) instead of something that will lead to another war.

(More: In response to a question about the Saudis insisting on a Two-State Solution in exchange for a normalization agreement with Israel: Prime Min. Netanyahu said, “The Saudis can create a Palestinian state in Saudi Arabia; they have plenty of land over there.”)

(More: On Feb. 10, 2025, U.S. Sec. of State Marco Rubio said if they (the nations in the region) don’t like Donald Trump’s plan (to take over Gaza), then it is time for these countries to step forward and offer their solution.)

Seven, concerning the Israel-Hamas ceasefire: following a Hamas announcement that it is suspending the next hostage release, on Feb. 10, 2025, Trump said, “If all (no more partial releases) the Gaza hostages aren’t returned by Saturday at 12 p.m., I would say cancel the ceasefire. Let all hell break loose.”

Trump’s statement was viewed as a “release all of the hostages or else” warning to Hamas, and Israel immediately scheduled meetings to discuss the “or else.”

Some of the hostages have been abused for 494 days (incarcerated, beaten, burned, starved, kept in the dark, ridiculed, etc.), several have died, and Trump was saying enough is enough, the U.S. will support whatever Israel decides to do.

(More: Following discussions on Feb. 10, 2025, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) raised readiness levels in the Southern Command and postponed leave for combat soldiers and operational units.)

(More: On Feb. 9, 2025, on Fox News, Pres. Trump’s nominee for Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, said, “As long as Hamas exists, that is a threat to the Israelis. They want the destruction of the Jewish state. One thing we know is that Hamas is not going to be able to exist. That’s just a done deal.”)

(More: On Feb. 11, 2025, Netanyahu said, If Hamas does not return our hostages by Saturday noon – the ceasefire will be terminated, and the IDF will return to intense fighting until Hamas is finally defeated.”)

Eight, under the previous administration, military recruiting was way down.

Since the election of Trump, recruiting is soaring.

December’s recruiting was the best in 12 years.

January’s recruiting was the best in 15 years.

Nine, concerning lawlessness and the deportation of criminal illegal aliens: on Feb. 4, 2025, Pam Bondi’s first day as head of the Dept. of Justice (DOJ), she ordered the DOJ to halt all federal funding to sanctuary cities.

Bondi also announced that the DOJ will investigate and possibly prosecute jurisdictions that hinder the enforcement of federal immigration laws.

Bondi promised to work with the Dept. of Homeland Security (DHS) to completely eliminate transnational criminal organizations and drug cartels, which are recognized by the U.S. government as foreign terrorist organizations.

Some of these terrorists have been involved in prostitution, sex trafficking, theft, and more.

(More: On Feb. 10, 2025, it was reported that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is preparing a large-scale immigration enforcement action in Los Angeles, Cal., a sanctuary city where perhaps 10% of the residents are illegals who work for less than the state-mandated minimum wage and pay no taxes.)

Ten, concerning corruption in Washington and world government: on Feb. 6, 2025, the Trump administration started shutting down the U.S. Agency on International Development (USAID).

In addition to multitudes of ungodly and wasteful projects, it turns out that over the years the U.S. has given billions of dollars to the World Economic Forum (WEF), Bill Gates’ GAVI Alliance, and George Soros’ Open Society Foundations.

The globalist agenda has taken a major hit.

(My comment: Many times, people have asked me why our government wouldn’t do something about Soros, Gates, and others, and one reason might be because our government was giving them money to do what they were doing.)

Here is a partial list of some of the things USAID funded that Jean Worland posted on Feb. 7, 2025:

Here is a link to an article that Worland provided:

https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/documents-show-how-usaid-funded-ridiculous-projects-elon-musk-reacts-7645010

(BTW: Someone asked how Musk is finding so much so fast, and the answer was Artificial Intelligence; AI. This should remind us that the angel Gabriel said knowledge will increase at the time of the end; Dan. 12:4.)

(More: The lives of some Musk employees who are investigating USAID have been threatened; the FBI is investigating and promising to take legal action if necessary.)

(More: On Feb. 9, 2025, it was reported that more than 6,000 journalists at some 700 media outlets worldwide were paid to allegedly spread America’s liberal agenda.)

(More: On Feb. 9, 2025, it was reported that FEMA employees sent $59 million to luxury hotels last week – money that Congress appropriated for disaster relief – to luxury hotels in New York City to house illegal immigrants. According to the report, they have spent $1.4 billion dollars on this since the fall of 2022. The report said Trump had suspended the payments, but FEMA employees sent the money anyway, and they will be disciplined.)

(More: On Feb. 11, 2025, it was reported that Musk has found people who are supposedly 150 years old and still drawing Social Security.)

Eleven, following the revelation that some media groups were receiving millions of dollars through subscription contracts: on Feb. 6, 2025, Trump ordered the General Services Administration (GSA) to cancel all media contracts.

(My comment: I doubt that Trump can drain the entire swamp, but he has gotten rid of a lot of polluted water in the last 17 days.)

Twelve, concerning potential violations of the law by Dr. Anthony Fauci, it turns out that former Pres. Biden’s blanket pardon protects Fauci from federal prosecution but not state prosecution.

On Feb. 9, 2025, it was reported that 17 State Attorney Generals are launching an investigation to see if Fauci should be prosecuted for suppression of dissent, misleading testimony before Congress, and other issues during the Covid pandemic.

Thirteen, concerning the Battle of Gog and Magog, concerning Trump’s offer to negotiate peace with Iran before he approves an attack to take out Iran’s nuclear facilities: on Feb. 7, 2025, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei said, “Negotiations with the U.S. will not solve any problems.”

(My opinion: Negotiating with Iran is a waste of time. Even if Trump could get a peace agreement, Iran would not keep it.)

FYI: God does not send anyone to Hell (all of us are born with a sin nature and destined to go to Hell because we sin), but God has provided a way (Jesus) for everyone to go to Heaven (and He is the only way to get there; John 14:6).

Finally, are you Rapture Ready?

If you want to be rapture ready and go to heaven, you must be born again (John 3:3). God loves you, and if you have not done so, sincerely admit that you are a sinner; believe that Jesus is the virgin-born, sinless Son of God who died for the sins of the world, was buried, and raised from the dead; ask Him to forgive your sins, cleanse you, come into your heart and be your Saviour; then tell someone that you have done this.

Absolutely No Alternative :: By Dave Hubley

Published on: by RR10 Category:General Articles

(There is a special message at the end of this article for those who might happen to read this and do not have Jesus in their life and are looking for peace and a way to better understand the present-day insanity and confusion.)

As you have no doubt noticed, newly re-elected President Trump has unleashed what appears to be a carefully considered campaign of executive orders and directives to his cabinet appointees in order to expose and stop the corruption that has been systematically and purposefully embedded in our government over its history.

There is no doubt that there are a considerable number of fish in that pond, and they need catching. This time, it appears that something is being done to root it out.

Will it succeed? We don’t know yet, and we won’t know for some time, but initially, it is uncovering much rotten fruit. Those who know they are guilty are getting vicious.

Either way, there is no alternative. It must be done no matter how painful it may be. I believe Trump has reached that same conclusion: If a ship is sinking, and America certainly is, you must turn on the bilge pumps and plug the leaks. It is just beginning.

This is a fight that will determine, as far as human effort can go, America’s survival.

No country, no nation, no home, can survive the kind of malicious subversion and lawbreaking that America has been subject to by people who insist on sawing through the limb that they and the rest of us are sitting on. Hard to understand? Not really.

We (those of us who are paying attention) keep hearing “God Bless America” and other commonly voiced axioms, but there is a reflective question that must accompany them: Why should He? Will America, can America, turn back toward God as a nation?

Much like an old building that is sagging and leaning with distorted window and door openings and a collapsing roof because an infestation of termites or carpenter ants has done major damage, there comes a point at which it must be torn down and rebuilt. In this case, the infestation is by truly evil, malevolent, and Godless humans.

If it can be rebuilt on its former foundation, it may still regain its original beauty and style, its glory and honor. The odds do not favor success, even though we may hope for it.

There is a great deal of panic, protest, and vapid rhetoric coming primarily from those who are vested or perhaps invested (no pun intended) in the Democrat Party. Many of the objections seem to be against the federal government’s expenditures being investigated and exposed for what they truly are, and the guilty are feeling the heat.

I believe that any government agency should be subject to public scrutiny, both for the sake of standard, sound accounting practices and because the people financing them (that would be tax-paying citizens) have a right to know where their money is being used, especially when vast sums (as is being disclosed now under President Trump) are being spent on/in foreign nations as well as here at home for Godless and perverted purposes, while American citizens, enduring massive disasters and that have lost homes and livelihoods, were being told there is no help available to them.

That is what average Americans have been receiving up until now – nothing, and it’s much worse than that: they have been left in a life-threatening situation by corrupted federal and state agencies that were established for the sole purpose of protecting and assisting them. There is no excuse for this that can be dredged up out of the septic tank of corruption and malfeasance that describe many of our present bureaucracies.

I would think that any politician, regardless of party affiliation, who took a sworn oath to protect and defend the United States and their constituents and actually meant it would support these measures.

Instead, many, primarily Democrats and some Republicans as well, decry it.

I am put in mind of a line from Hamlet, “Methinks thou dost protest too much” (or similar) that focuses the light of Truth on the target of circumstance.

An appropriate question that must also be asked relative to those who insist on not doing the right thing for Americans is “Cui Bono”: who benefits? Someone or many someones are surely benefitting in a financial sense, and they must be rooted out.

“For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. By craving it, some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows” (Timothy 6:10).

Given current circumstances, it seems fair to ask, even though they invoke God’s Name so easily: Do most of them have any faith in God to wander away from?”

We are living in a day where the ever-trustworthy Word of God is proven to be perfectly applicable to the times.

“Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness; Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight!” (Isaiah 5:20-21) Emphasis added.

This article is not so much about politics, although, either directly or indirectly, we are all subject to it to a very significant degree.

It’s really about accountability. If there is no punitive reality to lawless conduct here in this life, the exact opposite effect will always be experienced. Criminal behavior will resurge with a vengeance, and America will quickly self-immolate.

Now to the crux of this commentary.

God does not miss a single thought or a single action, whether done in daylight or darkness. He is not unaware of the unlawful deeds done by email or text, sign language, smoke signal, or the wink of an eye. Nothing escapes His knowledge.

“He who walks with integrity walks securely, But he who perverts his ways will become known” (Proverbs 10:9).

I would point out that these activities are already known to God (Hebrews 4:13).

Regardless of what President Trump may do, regardless of whether he is able to resist the lure of power, God will have to execute judgment on unrepentant humans and unrepentant nations. Either way, God will use Donald Trump as He sees fit.

I wish Trump blessings from God as long as he tries to do what is right, which is so long overdue. However, I am not encouraged by his choice of a “spiritual advisor.”

I urge anyone who may read this article to understand: Your individual eternity is not going to be ensured by any fallible human government. In the end, human government will fail as it always has, including that of America (Isaiah 2:22). It will fall under the judgment of rebellion against El Shaddai, God Almighty. His counsel will stand, as He states unequivocally and has proven through already fulfilled prophecy.

“Remember the former things of old, For I am God, and there is no other;
I am God, and there is none like Me, Declaring the end from the beginning,
And from ancient times things that are not yet done, Saying, ‘My counsel shall stand,
And I will do all My pleasure’” (Isaiah 46:9-10). Emphasis added.

God has made clear: There will only be two destinations after life ends here on earth – those who are lost to hell for eternity and those who will finally live in peace for eternity.

“Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me” (Revelation 3:20).

Jesus is knocking. If you choose to open the door, you must do it in your living years.

The special message I promised you:

For anyone who may read this article and has not trusted in Jesus Christ and therefore has no hope or peace in your life.

You can have hope. You can have the peace that Jesus has promised to all who have made Him their Lord and Savior. The peace that passes understanding.

It requires that you come before God on His terms and that you do so in your living years.

And, what are His terms according to His Word?

  • Genuine repentance (turning to God instead of continuing to reject or ignore Him).
  • Confession of sins (that you are a sinner and acknowledge that to God).
  • That you understand that the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23).
  • To acknowledge to God that you are unable to pay that debt.
  • Belief that Jesus Christ paid your death sentence for you on the cross and rose from the grave three days later, conquering death, just as He promised.
  • To believe that Jesus is the Way, the only Way, that God has established by which humans may be saved from the consequences of their sin and rebellion.

God has made it absolutely clear that there is no one who comes before Him, under His terms, that will be refused.

  • No one: no race, no color, no country of origin, regardless of any previous belief system: no one.
  • No matter what your past sins have been, God can and WILL forgive you because He says He will.
  • Salvation is available to everyone without any exceptions.

If you put all your trust for salvation in Jesus, and Him only, you can follow that prayer up by simply saying, “Thank you, Father God, for hearing my prayer and saving me,” because we can trust Him to keep His Word. He always has. He always will.

“Truly, Truly, I say to you that he who hears My words and believes the One who sent Me has eternal life and will not be condemned. He has crossed from death to life” (John 5:24).

There are no answers and there is no hope in the world by governments, organizations, politics or politicians. There are only lies and deception. But you can have the Truth and the peace you seek.

The answers are in the Word of God—The Bible. If you ask God, with all your heart, He will hear you.

“And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart” (Jeremiah 29:13).
