Every blessing.
Sunday was the 12th anniversary of my first writing on Bible prophecy playing out in our days. And having been stunned by the privilege of being given the Lord’s opinion direct on the matter, I was left with absolutely no doubt whatsoever about it!! But more on that shortly…
Thus, began a small flow of emails to friends and church leaders drawing attention to how current events seem to tie into the scriptures.
In fact, I’d forgotten all about that until early this morning when mulling over the blog I’ve started drafting on developments in America and a certain political theory on what’s happening; and which appears to reflect scriptural and contemporary prophecies!
And just like 12 years ago, I was ‘nudged’ to check what Jesus had said about God’s Kingdom being likened to His sowing a field of wheat and finding it contaminated by weeds. So, in my quiet time after breakfast I checked that particular parable in Matthew chapter 13 and considered how it fits in with the Apocalypse, or Book of Revelation, as well as with ‘The Rapture’ outlined in Paul’s letters to the Thessalonians.
Therefore, I decided the draft-blog needs splitting; that is, the bad and the good bits separating into two parts (LOL I now realise how that reflects the parable HA)! BUT the story of that scripture really necessitates an introductory background for that blog. Only then did I recall the original email I’m now writing about – AND little did I suspect that MORE was yet to arrive!!
Having read, contemplated and decided upon that action plan, I booted up the pc and the very first thing I spotted was a comment sent two hours earlier by ‘hitch-hiker’ Tim Shey far over ‘the Pond’ in Idaho. It connects directly into what I was contemplating with the Lord! Tim’s contribution follows shortly…
FIRST, here’s the vital part of that first email The Endgame Is Now In Play sent on 28th February 2009:
‘Last year, I encountered two conflicting claims about Jesus’ explanation of the parable on the end-time harvest of wheat and tares (Matt 13:36). So I went to check scripture BUT upon opening my Bible a deep excitement exploded within as I heard,
“This is ALL about to be fulfilled” – WOW!!’
Now, so we don’t miss its great import, let’s read what Jesus says after explaining why he teaches the masses in parables, whereas His disciples are entitled to know the mysteries of heaven (Matt 13 NKJV, BibleGateway.com – emphases mine):
‘Another parable He put forth to them, saying: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field; 25 but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way. 26 But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tares also appeared. 27 So the servants of the owner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?’ 28 He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ The servants said to him, ‘Do you want us then to go and gather them up?’ 29 But he said, ‘No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.”
NB: tares, also known as darnel, is similar to ordinary wheat, but carries a toxic fungus.
37 ‘He answered and said to them: “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man. 38 The field is the world, the good seeds are the sons of the kingdom, but the tares are the sons of the wicked one. 39 The enemy who sowed them is the devil, the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are the angels. 40 Therefore, as the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of this age. 41 The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness, 42 and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. 43 Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”
Revisiting Jesus’ explanation of the parable and how evil people will be dealt draws a distinct parallel with current events in all realms of affairs, especially as explained by a British computer specialist whose investigation of election fraud, and reference to his essays on the ‘Q’ phenomenon, are included in my coverage of the US election fraud.
Then, as mentioned above, in comes Tim Shey’s comments (read thread here). Not only do they relate directly to one of the main sources of ‘Q’ theory in quoting Cesare Sachetti’s Tweets, but also to last week’s posts on Queen Esther. Read Tim’s terrific insight carefully:
‘Sacchetti writes: “Trump is demolishing the deep state under the puppet Biden administration. Basically, Trump is using his enemies to fulfill his goal and defeat the globalist cabal. Trump is beyond Sun Tzu.”
‘It looks like the Book of Esther and Haman hanging from his own gallows revisited. The Lord is in control and President Trump is absolutely brilliant.
‘I love Sacchetti’s quote: “Trump is beyond Sun Tzu”. Sun Tzu, of course, wrote the classic THE ART OF WAR. I read half of THE ART OF WAR a number of years ago. Halfway through, the Lord told me to stop reading Sun Tzu’s book. I asked the Lord, Why? (because it is an excellent read). The Lord told me, “The man who obeys the Lord defeats Sun Tzu every time.”
‘Praise the Lord! Sun Tzu was a great military strategist, but the Lord can run circles around Sun Tzu any time He wants to. Glory to God in the Highest!
‘Trust and obey.’
Please keep all this in mind as background for the next postings and we will see how the dots are getting connected – or pieces falling into place in God’s Invisible Jigsaw.
After the previous post I trust you have now read the reference to ‘The King’s Ring’ in the prophetic vision recounted by Tim Dixon. This dream is highly significant in referring to vast crowds in Washington congratulating Trump and its revealing a hidden, secret person holding The King’s Ring, which he’s had since Trump left office!
This dream goes in tandem with its following post: A signet ring nation will arise and become of divine significance in the decade ahead, as brought by Veronika West. Both were published on Monday just past.
On Tuesday I got this directly relevant email from David Chapman, one of this blog’s authors (emphasis therein added):
‘We had a v good Sun morning prayer time, and saw for first time – I know I’m slow on some things! – how Esther in 8 v 1 has a second plea to the King and the sceptre held out again. This time to plead for the safety of all Jews everywhere.
‘The King then told her and Mordecai to write the Decree and Seal it with his ring! We actually put together our own Decree for this present w/w situation from that account, based on America of course at present but clearly much wider, which was a completely new understanding for us regarding Decrees. So we know God is up to something. Many blessings, Dave.’
I asked if he’d would kindly prepare a briefing on this, which with the editorial assistance of his dear wife Ann reads as follows:
GOVERNMENTAL DECREEING FROM A BIBLICAL BASE
Queen Esther by Edwin Long (1878)
Many, if not most of us, are familiar with the story told in the Book of Esther of how Esther, a Jewess, became Queen (church bride type) to the King Xerxes (Jesus typology) of the Persian Empire some 500 years before Christ actually came to the earth. She was rightly positioned to petition the King – placing her own life on the line – to save her people from the Decree that the wicked Haman (anti-Christ Governor type) had made to kill, destroy and annihilate all Jews on a certain future date. Of how Mordecai (watchman type) urged her to go before the King, as she had “come to the Kingdom for such a time as this” 4 v 14, to plead their cause.
After prayer and fasting for three days, she did so, and to her relief the King held out his Golden Sceptre to her. She requests a Feast for him and Haman together. That night she holds back her real reason for the Feast and asks for another evening Feast the next night. The King grants her the request. Meanwhile Haman is enraged that Mordecai will not bow to him, and at the advice of his wife (Jezebel type) builds a gallows to hang Mordecai on.
The next night at the Feast the King asks Esther what is her request. She states there is a plot to kill all her own people. After finding it out it was Haman’s plot, which had been decreed with the Kings seal (signet ring) he orders Haman to be hung on his own gallows! (7 v 9) Moreover, Mordecai was introduced by Queen Esther to the King as her relative that had brought her up, and he was given the King’s signet ring and charge over Haman’s house! Time for rejoicing, celebration at such a great victory, and go prepare their own Feast! NO SUCH THING. Continue reading
VERONIKA’S WORD satan has power …BUT (previous post) IS KEY!
THE WHOLE POPULATION – EVEN CHURCHGOERS! – ARE BOWING THE KNEE TO THE SPIRIT OF FEAR RUNNING RAMPANT ACROSS OUR NATIONS.
CHRISTIANS, FORGET NOT YOUR TRUE IDENTITY IS IN CHRIST JESUS and so WE HAVE AUTHORITY OVER ALL unclean spirits, demonic and human!
(Hence my using lower case to put them in their place!)
When taking authority over the, command them by “In the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth Who came in the flesh!”, for there are deceiving spirits calling themselves ‘Jesus’!
A HUGE THANK YOU to all my regular readers and contributors, subscribers, visitors and folk who occasionally drop-in here and on Facebook, for it’s you who encourage me to keep going since I went public by launching this blog on 21.11.2011 – now it’s heading for 2 million views!!
Our dear friend Veronika West posted this at Ignite Ireland Ministry on Saturday prior to a full-some prophetic flow:
Then yesterday, 16th February, she writes,
“SATAN HAS POWER….BUT….IT IS LIMITED….;FOR THE ONE WHO HOLDS THE LEASH….DETERMINES THE PERIMETERS AND SETS THE BOUNDARIES”…!!!
•••Yesterday afternoon while out walking and talking with Holy Spirit the Lord quickened a powerful word to me,…that I shared concerning the LIMITATIONS OF THE ENEMIES’ POWER….,so on my return home I scrambled through my past prophetic journals and found the very word that the Lord had suddenly flooded my spirit with on my walk….
•••As you read…LET FAITH, HOPE AND EXPECTATION BEGIN TO RISE AND EVERY THOUGHT OF FEAR, DOUBT AND UNBELIEF BE UPROOTED AND TORN DOWN…!
That word was published on September 4th 2019 by His Kingdom Prophecy, as below:
A great reminder for many…! Continue reading
Thank you Lord for doubly blessing me last night and this morning.
Wednesday evening is when Catch The Fire Church, Farnborough opens its zoom meeting to Christians who are not formally on its members’ roll. Recent open meetings have been spent ‘soaking’ in worship and last night’s, Wednesday 10th February, began by reading Psalm 46 and focusing upon its closing verses
‘Be still, and know that am God, I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge.’ Selah.
As our minstrel began quietly worshiping I had a sense of seeing a large white robe in front of me but I was viewing at its mid-chest level. I knew someone was there but was unable to distinguish the person because they were only inches in front of my face!
Then I ‘heard’….“I am ‘WHO I AM’!”
The final three words state and describe His identity as containing EVERYTHING about Him, the Lord Jesus Christ, as well as containing THE WHOLE COSMOS, ALL of our Father’s Creation! I was left ‘WOW’
After our soaking the prophetical pastor said that Word confirms the nature of the paper he’s writing: ie. Jesus’ “I am” statements! Again I was stunned. Pastor Bird also shared a vision of armies of angels stationed in many locations worldwide, their swords readied for circumcising the hearts of Jesus’ followers so they may be purified for the imminent harvesting of souls!
THEN today, upon visiting John Barber’s facebook I espied this published in Las Vegas only yesterday, Wednesday 10th February, in confirmation of pastor’s vision – another instance of the spiritual Bridge o’r The Pond’, perhaps angels are using it to get across the Atlantic!

“GOD MOVES IN A MYSTERIOUS WAY HIS WONDERS TO PERFORM”
The above-titled 18th Century hymn by William Cowper is one that moved me deeply on hearing it sung in my primary school morning assembly and music classes. Let’s bear it in mind as we append this blog to the previous parts of this series.
MOREOVER, it’s timing is most encouraging because these video clips were sent to me ‘coincidentally’ early today from two sisters in the Lord, one by email and other on FB messenger – so thank you J and S:
They were confirmation of what I’d been mulling in mind after waking up of how Trump gave Glory to God during his 2020 campaign…
…as well his personally quoting scripture to bring Christmas blessing to his nation:
AND….
Moreover, this ‘God-incidence’ is yet another example how when the negative strikes then the Lord is swift to bring encouragement that I’m in His will and thus brings His peace.
You see, as well as these items in came three contrary comments politely at odds with prophecy! So the above videos encouraged me greatly in responding to enquiries and blogging with a hectic schedule.

IT’S HAPPENING: DARKNESS AND ITS VEILED MINIONS ARE BEING EXPOSED — Real Christianity
How appropriate from a man who points to and gives glory to God whilst campaigning and, as President of the United States, closes his 2020 Thanksgiving Day Proclamation,
“I encourage all Americans to gather, in homes and places of worship, to offer a prayer of thanks to God for our many blessings.”
In the light of Veronika West’s prophetic visions/words about giants falling this makes interesting reading, along with its reference to Britain’s role!

Thank you Lord for the most surprising way this 3 weeks-old prophecy was found on my phone whilst waiting in A&E after an unfortunate accident yesterday. (This PC has Windows Live and I rarely use my phone’s Gmail, which is prone to downloading email without leaving original on ISP’s server, and so it doesn’t get to PC.) Thank you too to Carolyn Stewart for emailing this transcript of Christopher Wickland’s podcast of 10th November 2020. He tells me he understands ‘stone cutters’ to mean Freemasons:
A PROPHETIC WORD TO AMERICA
“Land of America, land of America, the ‘land of the free’. I speak to you today, for you cutters of stone, you stone cutters have wished to take away people’s rights, people’s freedom and people’s liberty, and this day I will take away your rights, and your freedoms and your liberties, you who would wish to choose to enslave my people. It will not be so. Continue reading
PS (12 Dec): Abel’s dreams 3, 4, 5 posted 26 Nov are especially pertinent in view of SCOTUS declining Texas’ (et al) case against four states conduct of the election…
Within minutes of publishing Update 15 I received a message from Abel Praise in Nigeria giving me a link to what he’d only just published on His Kingdom Prophecy.
It uncannily connects into my posting, as well as material received yesterday, and so both lots must appear next! You’ll recall my 4-part mini-series on his five prophetical dreams giving insights into Donald Trump’s presidency and the upcoming election – Dreams 1-3, Dream 4, Dream 5 and conclusion: Spheres of Influence.
Now, we have the privilege of Abel’s in-depth instruction on the spiritual principles of intercession from our rightful place as Jesus’ disciples in the heavenly realms and its holy courts. His account is boldly entitled (subsequent emphases mine):
DONALD TRUMP’S PROPHETIC PATH TO VICTORY
Many things have changed in the heavens and even much more have been birthed in the earth concerning The Nation of America during this season.
I have in recent weeks published a number of prophetic articles revealing the prophetic state of things and how The LORD has kept me on my Watch to see and make known the ongoing decisions concerning The American Nation in The Courts of Heaven.
As I have stayed before The LORD in Watching, Praying as The LORD continued to reveal how we must stand in the gap concerning the American Presidential elections, and how it concerns the purposes of The Kingdom in the next season.
In view of the obvious diabolical direction of events in the USA, we need to update my previous overviews on satan’s global strategy.
First, Elaine Venning submitted a short, rousing video on a prophecy given 50 years ago by the first televangelist, the Catholic American Bishop Fulton Sheen.: (I’ve noticed this link keeps disappearing and reappearing whilst drafting! Trusting it works for you.)
Elaine summarises: “He foresaw that elitism was a threat to the American nation, that they were about tearing down police, churches, teachers and government. This elite is noisy and uses violence to intimidate and force its views upon folk. It knows what it is against but not really what it is for. Effectively, it becomes a tool of destruction and the target is the God-given natural order. To counter this Fulton calls for a turning to God, a looking up to Him, to restore the dignity of man.”
Secondly, as submitted by the ‘anon’ American intercessor and author of this blog’s report from the ‘front lines’, see this informative secular introduction by Joshua Philipp:
I’m also grateful Elaine has provided an outline of this video:
“In essence, Josh Phillipp is trying to get to the facts against the backdrop of a the Big Lie. He concludes we’re up against the same agenda used by dictatorships elsewhere (incl Nazis & Communists). This was broadcast yesterday (24 November) by these actions:
“By contrast, President Trump has recommended that the GSA (Gen Services Admin) staff who have been threatened (and their families) do what is necessary to stay safe and run with the protocols. But as yet no declared winner and no defeat conceded. This has been done to save lives.
“In the President’s twitter feed he did not concede defeat. He said “Our case strongly continues. We will keep up the good fight and I believe we will prevail.”
“Josh also reiterated the 8 preliminary charges of fraud with evidence that were given in a statement in the President’s press conference on 19th November. All of these would normally have triggered fraud investigations. These charges are
In the next post, we consider in-depth insights from prophet and prayer warrior Abel Praise.
Although not a fan of Sid Roth, I recommend his video-interview because it puts the vision of Donald Trump and a burning bush into the perspective of Biblical prophetic parallels. Moreover, Robin Bullock’s opening reference to 2012 as beginning a timeline of parallels fits into not only my dream and Bill Johnson’s word for the UK in Sept 2011 of the Coming Kingdom and launching this blog, but also William Koenig on Bible cycles as well as Nathan Morris’ word 2012 Setting the Stage for the End-times and that of Dr Sharon Stone’s on the world-changing significance of Hurricane Sandy….!!!
SO be mightily blessed
AND, it just so happens I happened upon the following much shorter teaching by Perry Stone on Bible prophecy parallel and cycles, where significant events of ancient times get mirrored in modern days.
FURTHERMORE, I’d once again been mulling over these years being a replay of the ‘Days of Noah’ as prophesied by Jesus himself:
Last weekend a dear overseas brother and friend in Christ, Abel Praise, updated me on some prophetic visions and words he’d had relating to President Trump and the recent presidential election.
In their full context, and with his comments and discussions with Veronika, they should give my readers, especially those querying the authenticity of prophecy, a fuller picture of what is happening and what to watch for in the natural.
Also, it is important to bear in mind that these dream images are principally for use by intercessors because they’re symbolic of spiritual reality and not always to be regarded as being definitive of physical reality. For example – and note well – graphic depictions of unclean spirits are not to be taken as meaning or equating to an actual person.
Therefore, let me introduce to Abel’s Prophetic Watch featuring four dreams as told at His Kingdom Prophecy. Click on the image to read in full and, as with all prophecy, be sure to study carefully and wait on the Lord to weigh and test…
Click/tap image to read in full
Abel’s introductory text continues:
“There is no doubt in my heart The LORD had preordained two terms for Donald Trump; as even many prophets had declared.
“However; two prophetic dreams revealing scenarios that threatened to abort the destiny plans for the second term presidency of Donald Trump gave me serious cause for concern.
“The first dream I had on the 21st of July 2019; and the other on 16th October 2020 which I shared with Veronika West on that date of the dream, gave me cause for concern.
“Two more recent dreams I had on the first night of the elections; and the second night after the elections while votes were still being counted, gave me great cause for concern going forward…”
More to follow soon..
After comparing ex-president Obama’s and his successor’s opposite traits of anti- and pro-Christian respectively in Is Donald Trump’s Heart For The Kingdom? I could have made a 4th ‘Dismantling Obama’s Legacy’ sub-header in its Part 2.
Part 1 drew attention to Trump’s dealing with the Nigerian President over Christian persecution, viz:
Today’s Premier Christian News announces another reason we can add this good news to ex-‘Never-Trumper’ Joel Rosenberg’s 20 Reasons for Supporting The President’s Re-election as well as to theologian Wayne Grudem’s 30 Good Things Trump Has Done For America (click image to read full report):
“Faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.” (James 2:17 NKJV)
MY CHALLENGE
Upon getting my link to the video of President Trump giving glory in public to Jesus, a church leader advised me to examine the fruit of Trump’s words, attitudes, values and actions for, like many, he struggles to see the values of Jesus or a heart for His Kingdom in what he’s seen over the years. Accepting this challenge, I revisited 12 years of writing and being kept well-informed by weekly reports from the White House. So I’m posting this short series as an answer to the pastor’s objection.
SUMMARY of PREVIOUS
This summary includes items from Part 3 plus two items on Trump’s Scottish heritage from my asking in 2016 Is Donald Trump God’s Man For This Time?
FAITH APPLIED TO POLITICS
Having checked and learned that Donald Trump is a practising Christian we need to examine his heart for re-establishing Kingdom principles in America. Wayne Grudem, Professor of Theology and Bible Studies at Phoenix seminary, Arizona, has published List of 30 Good Things President Trump Has Done For America and we’ll find 7 relate to God’s Kingdom (please refer to and consider linked document’s full details):
‘1. Judges: Trump has appointed two Supreme Court justices, 53 federal appellate judges,4 and 146 District Court judges 5 (as well as two judges for the Court of International Trade6) who have been confirmed by the Senate so far. In addition, 64 more have been appointed and are awaiting Senate confirmation.7 All of them are committed to interpreting the Constitution and laws according to the original meaning of the words, rather than according to what a modern liberal judge thinks the law should have said….
‘4. Protecting unborn babies: Numerous executive orders have increasingly restricted government funding for abortions (such as the reinstatement of the Mexico City policy).15 On February 22, 2019, the Trump administration announced that it would not allow organizations that provide referrals for abortions to receive federal family-planning money, which implies a cut in funding for Planned Parenthood (the nation’s largest abortion provider) unless they perform abortions in a separate facility and not refer patients to it.16 ….
‘6. Standing with Israel: Reversing President Obama’s repeated marginalization and shunning of Israel, President Trump has reaffirmed our commitment to support and defend Israel. He decisively moved the United States Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.20 He recognized the Golan Heights as part of Israel.21 He has welcomed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the White House several times and has repeatedly reaffirmed our support for Israel. I recently read in the Jerusalem Post a statement that Israel has never had a better friend in the White House than Donald Trump.22
‘7. Negotiating a historic agreement between Israel and the United Arab Emirates: On August 13, 2020, President Trump announced that Israel and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) had come to a historic agreement to establish full diplomatic relations between the two countries,23 including the establishment of permanent embassies and the beginning of direct airline flights between the two countries. This is important because Dubai, the largest city in the UAE, is the leading financial center in the Middle East and plays a leading role in world air travel and tourism. The agreement will “strengthen regional checks on Iranian power.”24 It also has the potential to set a pattern for future agreements establishing peaceful relations between Israel and other Arab countries in the Middle East.25
‘10. Religious freedom and freedom of conscience: President Trump’s administration has repeatedly and continually worked to defend religious freedom, and his Justice Department has defended religious freedom in numerous court cases, such as supporting the case of Colorado cake designer Jack Phillips at the Supreme Court (Phillips faced massive fines for politely declining to design a cake celebrating a same-sex wedding), 28 and the right of faith-based organizations not to be forced to provide access to abortifacients through their health care plans, overturning the Obamacare HHS regulation that had forced them to do so.29
‘19. Protecting boys’ and girls’ bathrooms, locker rooms, and sports teams: On February 22, 2017, President Trump directed the Department of Education to revoke the Obama-administration’s guidance letter that had directed schools to allow children who claim to be “transgender” to use the bathrooms, locker rooms, and showers of their choice, and to join sports teams of their choice, even when their choices differed from their biological sex.
‘In a related decision President Trump issued an executive order banning transgender persons from entering our military forces, which would have allowed biological males free access to women’s bathrooms, locker rooms and showers, and similarly allowed biological females to enter men’s facilities. Present Trump’s order was upheld by the Supreme Court which lifted the block on the order by a 5-4 vote. While litigation will continue, the order stands for now. 48
‘30. Welcoming evangelical Christians into positions of influence: This may not be important to others, but, speaking as an evangelical Christian, I see it as a positive factor that, rather than marginalizing evangelical Christians (as was the practice of the Obama administration), President Trump has appointed a remarkably large number of evangelicals to high government offices…he has frequently welcomed evangelical pastors and other leaders to the White House, for public and private conversations…’
Wayne then writes,
‘The context: refusing to waiver in the face of the most biased reporting in American history: These 30 good actions have all been accomplished in spite of a remarkably hostile national media…. In addition, he has done all this while enduring 3 ½ years of “resistance” by a massive special counsel investigation (that came to nothing), impeachment by the House (that came to nothing), and numerous nationwide injunctions against his executive orders issued by individual US District Court judges. In this context, Trump’s resolute pursuit of the policies on which he campaigned seems to me to be commendable.’
The Professor briefly considers Biblical principles of rulership…and then asks:
‘So here is a question for my fellow Christians: If you believe (as I do) that God is sovereign over the affairs of nations, do you think that Donald Trump’s presidency has been an evidence of divine blessing or divine judgment? I admit perceiving divine purposes in human events is a task that cannot be proved with certainty one way or another but, when I look over this list of 30 actions, it appears to me to be far more characteristic of divine blessing than of divine judgment. If others disagree, I respect your right to have a different opinion, but that is my view.’
CONCLUSION
After examining a small sample of facts about President Trump’s faith and political work, as recounted in this series, I conclude that – contrary to an English pastor’s opinion – he really does put the highest value on the person of Jesus Christ and, as President, works to further God’s Kingdom.
Also, that public declaration giving glory to Jesus was not just for political show but an honest, personal statement acknowledging the truth of His Supremacy.
Therefore, if the people of the United States of America’s voting confirms his presidency then it will become a blessing and a global light in this world of increasing darkness.
Looking beyond the election at what’s being schemed behind the scenes, you may wish to read Only Donald Trump can save us from the ‘Great Reset’ (James Delingpole)?
Footnote: POTUS Watch explains why I blog about US Presidents since 2009.
“I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; 21 that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. 22 And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: 23 I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.” (John 17:20-23 NKJV)
Of myself: born and baptised in Roman Catholicism but when an adult became anti-church; but blessed to be saved and born-again by and baptised in the Holy Spirit, I regard myself as being non-denomination and desire the manifestation of the above prayer by My Saviour Jesus the Messiah.
And guess what? I find Donald Trump, the President of the United States of America, is in the same boat with me – ie. non-denominational – as we shall soon see!
RECAP
So let’s quickly recap thus far on this posts’ specific topic. We’re examining the claim from British pastors’ perspective that, as reported superficially by biased media, there are grounds for doubting Donald Trump has “the values of Jesus or a heart for His Kingdom.”
An inserted re-blog from the ‘Never-Trump’ author Joel Rosenberg tells what changed his mind and how he told President Trump when ‘Veep’ Pence took him to meet him in the Oval Office:
“Sir, if you accomplish nothing else for the rest of your term, you will go down in history as the most pro-life and pro-Israel president in the history of the country. And I just want to say, on behalf of my wife and me, thank you.” The President seemed moved. Then I noted the Bible commands believers to “pray for kings and all those in authority.”
“I want you to know, sir, that I have prayed for you and your family every day since you took the Oath of Office.”
“Thank you, Joel,” Trump replied. “That means a lot to me.”
OCTOBER 2020
1. One of my regular readers in New Zealand responded to Part 2 by informing me of comments by Revd Bill Johnson, pastor of Bethel Church, California, about Trump:
“For me it is worthy of note that I’ve never seen a president who loved prayer as much as Donald Trump — and that includes from those I voted for and those I didn’t,” Johnson, who regularly preaches on revival and the Holy Spirit, said. “His passion for godly counsel is also legendary. His historic actions for Israel should appeal to believers, as the biblical mandate to pray supportively for Jerusalem is a clear priority in scripture.”
‘Explaining that he isn’t trying to coerce anyone or tell them who to vote for, Johnson said he believes Trump “is the only one who isn’t owned by either party, and is fully capable through courage and boldness to bring about the changes needed.”
2. Religion News Service report of 19th October Both Candidates Went To Church This Weekend; Their Experiences Were Very Different makes for interesting reading and includes a brief prophetic word given to President and First Lady Trump.
3. An exclusive and extensive interview with RNS published 23rd October reveals,
‘President Trump said in a written statement that he no longer identifies as a Presbyterian and now sees himself as a non-denominational Christian. “Though I was confirmed at a Presbyterian church as a child, I now consider myself to be a non-denominational Christian,” Trump, who has repeatedly identified as a Presbyterian in the past, said in a written response to RNS.
‘Saying that his parents “taught me the importance of faith and prayer from a young age,” Trump went on to say that “Melania and I have gotten to visit some amazing churches and meet with great faith leaders from around the world. During the unprecedented COVID-19 outbreak, I tuned into several virtual church services and know that millions of Americans did the same.”
‘The revelation about Trump’s religious identity appeared in an interview that was conducted in writing and covered a variety of faith topics, ranging from the president’s own spiritual life to his plans for the White House office tasked with engaging faith groups.’

CONCLUSION
I trust my readers will be surprised and encouraged to join me in visiting the above links to learn more about President Trump’s renewed faith as a follower of Jesus Christ. May the Lord be the Trumps’ strong tower and keep them secure during this vital election.
Next, we’ll be surprised to note how Trump has put his faith into action as a politician!

Further to Part 1’s closing quotation from William Koenig on Donald Trump’s inauguration in January 2017, readers may like to check this overview of his book on Obama’s dangerous legacy.
His location brought close familiarity with the work of several presidents and so William noticed the contrast between the last administrations is like that between darkness and light!
He emphasises that not since Ronald Reagan’s presidency have ALL Christians been so welcome in every area of the White House as they are under Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence. As a newly refreshed believer the President has become more open to the Lord and, supported by Franklin Graham and other Christian leaders, is moving forward in his faith. SO please avoid jumping to conclusions and making inaccurate even presumptuous judgments.
We will look more closely at Donald Trump’s faith and its application in furthering Kingdom principles later.
First, let’s look at his overturning a couple of his predecessor’s policies that were detrimental to moving God’s Kingdom forward.
DISMANTLING OBAMA’S LEGACY – ABORTION
Previously a pro-abortion businessman but now Christian president, Trump unequivocally and vociferously attacks malign activities of politicians who promote what is truly the worship of Molech (the demon-god of child sacrifice) in his speech to this year’s Pro-Life March. Quoting from The Root Behind the Plot to Impeach Trump?
“It is my profound honor to be the first president in history to attend the March for Life. We are here for a very simple reason: to defend the right of every child, born and unborn, to fulfill their God-given potential….”
Breaking Israel News headline of the time notes Trump Invokes ‘God’ Eight Times as First President to Address ‘March For Life’. I especially note that this POTUS stresses,
“All of us here understand an eternal truth: Every child is a precious and sacred gift from God. Together, we must protect, cherish, and defend the dignity and the sanctity of every human life…
“When we see the image of a baby in the womb, we glimpse the majesty of God’s creation. When we hold a newborn in our arms, we know the endless love that each child brings to a family. When we watch a child grow, we see the splendor that radiates from each human soul. One life changes the world – from my family, and I can tell you, I send love, and I send great, great love – and from the first day in office, I have taken historic action to support America’s families and to protect the unborn…
“I notified Congress that I would veto any legislation that weakens pro-life policy or that encourages the destruction of human life.
“At the United Nations, I made clear global bureaucrats have no business attacking the sovereignty of nations that protect innocent life. Unborn children have never had a stronger defender in the White House.
“As the Bible tells us, each person is wonderfully made.”
DISMANTLING OBAMA’S LEGACY – ISRAEL / IRAN
DISMANTLING OBAMA’S LEGACY – EMBASSY
BREAKING THE MOLD
By David R. Parsons, 30 Oct 2020
As someone who worked hard for passage of the Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995, it was disappointing over the ensuing years to see one president after another break their promises to move the US Embassy to Jerusalem. Bill Clinton, George Bush, Barack Obama – Democrats and Republicans alike – had all promised during their election campaigns to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and move the US Embassy there. Yet each one reneged on their promises once in office.
And then along came Donald J. Trump. Twenty-two years after I first drafted a bill to move the US Embassy to Jerusalem for Senator Jon Kyl, President Trump was finally the one who kept his campaign promise to give this revered city the respect it is due. It proved that Trump was no ordinary politician. And it was a great personal relief and vindication that all the work and effort put in some two decades earlier had not gone to waste. When granting official recognition to Jerusalem as Israel’s capital in December 2017, Trump specifically rested his decision on the overwhelming support that bill had already received in Congress back in 1995….click to continue reading at ICEJ
RB: I note my birthday number 22 again!
Footnote: POTUS Watch explains why I blog about US Presidents since 2009.
There’s extensive, heated discussion on the upcoming US election [2020], and of which my fellow ‘watcher’ John Barber’s Trumpwatch 35: Crunch Times presents an honest, balanced viewpoint.
According to Professor Wayne Grudem, author of the huge tome Systematic Theology on my bookshelf, “every time viewers heard a negative evaluation of Biden, they heard 158 negative evaluations of Trump. For every positive statement they heard about Trump, they heard 18 negative statements” (emphases mine). He doesn’t cite his source but we’ll revisit his opinion later.
Personally, after hearing the Lord say “This is all about to be fulfilled” upon opening my Bible 12 years ago (as recounted in The Endgame is Now in Play), I began paying close attention to events in the Middle-East, especially those related to Bible prophecy. Also, I began emailing some friends and church leaders in order to keep them appraised of the situation. This included monitoring American involvement through weekly reports from a Christian editor based in the White House. Things took a fascinating, surprising turn of direction with January 2017’s change in the US administration.
Yet politics turns most Christians in Britain off because of its nature and public distrust of politicians. However, biased mainstream media makes us not only uninformed – even accepting media’s deceptions – but also disables our grasp of how the Lord and His servants are working behind the scenes. Moreover, much as I respect church leaders, too few appreciate the prophetic.
UNEASE OVER TRUMP – MY CHALLENGE
Consequently, pastors are prone to dismiss prophetic insights, as have national prayer and healing ministry leaders I’ve known! After circulating the video of Trump declaring Jesus Christ is more famous than himself to some local leaders, I got a gentle rebuke in some useful depth from one who cites two scriptures relating to his unease over Trump, and encourages me to look carefully at the fruit of his words, attitudes, values and actions, viz: “I have to say that I struggle to see the values of Jesus or a heart for His Kingdom in what I have seen over the years.”
This is not surprising as he readily admits to not being well-informed on politics and, in view of Trump’s seemingly peculiar character, his cynicism is most understandable. He offers, “I suspect that many have done this for votes or political advantage – and few have actually been in submission to God and on His side. I pray that Trump and Biden both get to this place, and that God’s will is done and His Kingdom comes in the US election.”
We can stand in agreement and I say a definite ‘AMEN’ to his closing prayer! Even so, I can’t let the opportunity go by without sharing some facts for the sake of being better informed.
So I sent a short briefing based upon what I’d already said by email with that video: “In thirty five years watching events relating to Bible prophecy, and involvement in the prophetic for the latter half of that time, plus keeping close tabs on US administrations since 2009, I do not recall being so blessed with how the Lord graciously used me as this week.”
I since realise my reply, expanded by some post-2009 observations, may be of some help to my readers on both sides of ‘the Pond’.
First, the criticisms based upon:
BRIEFING 1 – re. Scripture
“These people honour me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.” (Matt 15:8) – Reply: “This can refer to Democrats’ leaders Obama and Biden (supposedly Catholic yet a RC bishop of Tennessee asks of Biden, “At your judgment before God, how will you explain changing your position about abortion and how will you explain promoting no limits and allowing all protections removed protecting the most innocent? Will you tell God you supported the ultimate child abuse because of the American Constitution?”)”
“By their fruit you will recognize them.” (Matt 7:16) – Reply: “Some is obvious in Trump’s attempting to return Kingdom values back into public life (eg his Pro-life stance and his supporting ‘March For Life’) and nomination of Amy Barrett for a Supreme Justice, as well as furthering Father’s prophesied purposes for the state of Israel.”
BRIEFING 2 – re. President OBAMA
May 2009 – Early in his first term Obama met Netanyahu to discuss the latter’s 2-state solution for the Middle-East….involved attempts to turn the Arab world and Europe against Israel, and to appease Iran – even to ‘blackmailing’ Israel over its nuclear defence! (Obama wanted to be able to use Iran’s territory for supplying US troops in Afghanistan/Pakistan.) Also, there’s been dismay in Cairo and Riyadh over his courting the terrorist mentors in Teheran. No wonder Egypt and S.Arabia – both kept militarily informed by Israel – and five Gulf emirates turned a deaf ear to Obama’s secret (and 3rd) delegation seeking hundreds of billions dollars investment in US and global economic stimulus plans! That weekend a political furore gripped Washington and frayed Obama’s key policies.
June 2009 – Obama’s infamous Cairo speech to Muslim world included delegates from the banned Muslim Brotherhood who were invited at Obama’s specific request against president Mubarak’s wishes. I express reservations about his claims as a Christian and historian as he negated known facts and gave an Arabic and Palestinian narrative!
These indicated Obama’s direction of travel in being thoroughly anti-Israel, getting MB members in his administration (as well as throwing pres Mubarak ‘under a bus’ and creating a diplomatic rift with Saudi Arabia!) and courting the terrorist regime of Iran.
He was also plainly anti-Christian in taking no action whatsoever against Islamist violence against Nigerian Christians; wanting American black churches to turn away from Biblical principles of marriage; promoting and celebrating lgbt and same-sex marriage nationally and globally; increasing accessibility of abortions and making US overseas financial dependent upon receiving countries introducing legislation to facilitate abortion (Ie. modern-day practice of abominable child sacrifice in worship to false-god Molech.)
Here’s a brief review of Obama’s legacy upon Israel .
BRIEFING 3 – re. President TRUMP
During his 2016 campaign, REUTERS STOPPED RECORDING on Sunday (4 Sept) as Donald Trump received a standing ovation at a black church and praise from African-American Bishop Wayne T. Jackson in Detroit. As Pastor Jackson presented Trump with a Hebrew shawl (tallit), a Jewish Bible, and offered his prayers, the black audience cheered and clapped. As a Reuters cameraman became suddenly aware of the strong impact of the moment, a voice is heard off-camera saying, “He’s getting a shawl!” The cameraman then says, “I’m shooting this, I don’t care what they say….I’ll take a demotion for this“ – but the feed got cut!
Just before his inauguration The Times interviewed Donald Trump with Tory party MP and ex-leader of the Brexit campaign, Michael Gove and reported: ‘Britain and America will get a new trade deal “done quickly and done properly”, Donald Trump said on Sunday night as he promised he would help make Brexit great. The US president-elect praised Britain for voting to leave the European Union, saying: “People, countries, want their own identity, and the UK wanted its own identity”. (emphasis mine)
It’s not so much that Trump trashes Obama’s ‘mobster-style’ threat, made during his visit to support ex-PM Cameron, to send Britain “to the back of the queue” in trade negotiations if we to vote to get out of the EU…more that Trump’s incisive remark about Britons wanting our own identity tallies so closely with a four years-old prophetic word brought by Revd Dr Sharon Stone. His remark demonstrates that, both nations’ new and radically different leadership that’s come into office through exceptionally unusual circumstances, IS ALIGNING WITH THE LORD’S STATED PURPOSES AND DESTINY FOR OUR NATIONS. (Fulfilled Prophecy #15)
Inauguration 20 Jan 2017 – Unprecedented Prayer On Display
Prayer played a major role in the inauguration of Donald Trump. The ceremony featured six religious leaders, more than any other inauguration in history. The list included Paula White, one of his spiritual advisors, Rev. Franklin Graham, Rev. Samuel Rodriguez, of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference, Archbishop Timothy Dolan, Rabbi Marvin Hier, and Bishop Wayne T. Jackson.

Black History Month (Feb 2020)
‘African-American religious and political leaders lay their hands on Donald Trump as they pray for him at a White House reception to mark Black History Month. The US president vowed to deliver ‘abundant’ equal opportunities for all.’
And check out Trump’s dealing with the Nigerian President over Christian persecution:
PS. After the Inauguration, William Koenig notes in Eye View From The White House:
“There is great hope with President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence. They will need our prayers daily because the tasks at hand are enormous and very serious. I rejoice at the change because it has been very tough being in the White House press corps the last eight years.
“I am ready for greater involvement in the pressroom and keeping you up-to-date on what is taking place behind the scenes. Fortunately, Trump, Pence, Conway, Priebus, Bannon, Spicer and the nominees are very pro-Christian, pro-Evangelical and pro-Israel. This is truly a new day for believers in Yeshua.”
