The prophetic reality

The prophetic reality - Bill Wilson - www.dailyjot.com

 

Some Daily Jot readers and others who have read Daily Jots that have been forwarded are taking me to task over reporting what Republican Donald Trump is saying about the media. In fact, every time something is written about Trump, doesn't matter what it is, Christians are appalled that he is even mentioned in a Daily Jot. One accused me of Trump being my Messiah. Another wrote an email repeatedly calling Trump a liar. Another saying Trump is not a Christian. Others say that Trump is part of the global one world order conspiracy. To be fair, many more Christians are saying they support Donald Trump. The reality is that the upcoming election is more about destiny than candidates.

 

I say prophetic because this nation-whether people want to believe it or not-was not only founded, but built, on godly principles. I'm not saying that every person was a Christian. Neither am I saying that there were not wrongs and injustices heaped upon some. But I am saying that for the most part Americans followed God's principles in establishing this country. Our laws, our way of life, our general treatment of others were conducted in a manner that tried to abide in God's word. We have been a nation that supports godly principles worldwide-spreading of the gospel, support of human rights and freedom, support for Israel, and until recently, an adherence to the moral code of scriptures. We have been blessed.

 

No, Trump is not my messiah. I do not know what kind of president he will make. But I do know what the alternative is, and what hangs in the balance for a nation that turns away from God. In California, Brietbart reports on a Trump rally where "demonstrators" were aggressively pushing Trump supporters around and chanting and holding signs that read "America was never great," "F-k Donald Trump and his hate," "This is Mexico and you're not welcome," and more. Trump supporters were beaten and bloodied. We have reported before that George Soros, a true one world order guy, is paying for these thugs, and they are part of La Raza-a radical Hispanic group--and the Communist Party.

 

These are the same people that support the current "president" and the current presidential candidates-socialists Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton. They are also those who are supported by the current "president" and the Democratic Party's socialist candidates. Herein is the clash in ideals between Trump and Clinton/Sanders. A socialist America, a godless America, is what Clinton/Sanders are aiming to foment. This shapes America's prophetic destiny. Your actions in the upcoming months in who you support, criticize, speak against, will also shape our prophetic destiny. Jesus says in Matthew 25 that nations will be judged as well as individuals, "he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats." That's prophetic reality. And your actions regarding our country help determine it.

 

 

The especially dishonest political media - Bill Wilson - www.dailyjot.com

 

Many comment about Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's abrasive and combative nature. They say he is too confrontational to be President. Some Christians are refusing to vote for him because he is not "Christian" enough. And the alternative is? C'mon. Really? Bernie Sanders is an atheist. And Hillary Clinton...are you really believing what you see when she dusts off the ole King James and parades in the front door of church before all the cameras and leaves out the back door before the sermon starts? Her words and deeds never have aligned. Trump resonates with America because he is telling it like it is, what people would like to say, what they are thinking, even through a heavy media filter.

 

Case in point is Wednesday's Daily Jot, quoting The Hill. The Hill is a publication for Capital Hill political junkies. It told some of the story about the confrontation between Trump and the media over his contributions to veterans groups. But it slanted the story toward the media as victims. What really happened should guide Christians on how we discern what we read, hear and see from the news media. A reporter asked if this is the way it would be, if he would continue to attack the media if elected President, Trump said: "Yes, it is. Because you are the most dishonest people, political press the most dishonest people I know. You know it and I know it. The press is dishonest, but the political press is especially dishonest."

 

Then Trump gave an example: "I don't mind scrutiny.  What I don't like is lies.  You can scrutinize me all day long but you set up false premises. You state things about me that are not true. Then you run stories on that. That's why I'm out here trying to correct the record." Trump's contributions to veteran's organizations were key. He said he was going to contribute $6 million and the contribution to date was $5.6 million, so the press was essentially calling him a liar. He said of his contributions, "I don't want the credit for it, but I don't want to be lambasted." Trump's point was that he was doing something good, but the media was making it look like he was doing something bad, unethical or illegal.

 

In twisting the facts, the media is insinuating that Trump is a liar, when in fact, the media is mixing a little bit of truth to make a better lie. Moreover, Americans have been so conditioned to be genteel that when a man stands up and actually fights an injustice, he is considered too abrasive. America is in a great deal of trouble right now due to the Islamic Marxist influence on media and politicians. They are seeking to destroy the American Ideal and replace it with a totalitarian system. They are dishonest and unjust in the name of honesty and justice. The advice with a warning of Ephesians 5:6 comes to mind: "Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things comes the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience." We must alertly discern and be aware of the "especially dishonest" political media.
