I am sure many American Christians voted for Trump because they sincerely believe he is the only answer to the gross violations of moral principle that so pervades American society.
However, there is a much deeper and darker agenda at play here. That is the political attempt to establish God's kingdom on earth in response to Matthew 6:10. This isn't a new concept. Ever heard of the 7 mountain vision? From a concept formed in the 1970s, a couple of evangelicals determined to take over and control what they believed to be 7 pillars of society. Media, entertainment, finance, business, religion, law, and marriage. I think. I'm operating from memory, I may be wrong in a couple of those, but I think you get the picture. Some of you may be familiar with this.
Another name for this is dominionism. Or kingdom now. Today, it pervades the evangelical movement. Even Christian musicians write about and promote it, for example the Newsboys. And Trump, whether knowingly or ignorantly, is the flag bearer for the whole shebang. It is a union of church and state with the intent to create a theocratic form of government replacing the present constitutional Republic. So. What's wrong with that you may ask? I would ask a question in return. Which particular branch of Christianity do you believe should be legislated for? Because right now, from what I see going on around the world and in America, I see a prophetic picture forming that will bring nothing but harm to millions. I see Revelation 13 being enacted in front of our eyes.
2 beasts. The papacy and American Protestantism. American Protestantism forming an image...a union of church and state such as what Rome presided over in the dark ages... only this time in America. A protestant version.
But this protestant version stopped protesting some time ago. In fact, those same evangelical pastors that have been praying for Trump and supporting his now successful campaign, also not long ago stood shoulder to shoulder in promoting a return to Rome, and advocating the Pope to be the only viable religious leader capable of bringing the religious world into unity. This union of church and state... this image of the papal power... does not bode well for lovers of religious liberty. What will happen to those minorities who refuse to submit to this union? What happened to them in the 14th century? Remember, this modern version of the dark ages tyranny is an image. A mirror image. It's of the same evil spirit, and it persecutes those who reject its mark. Whose side are you on?
