I have been a supporter of President Trump until now. I am very concerned about what is happening: His praises to Allah on his Truth Social Posts, his cursing out of Netanyahu on a recent phone call, and his two-month attempt to negotiate with a country that is run by fanatics. Iran will not honor any agreement. It won’t be worth the piece of paper on which those words are written.
Brandon Holthaus does an excellent job in this video of providing the timeline of what has happened up to this point. I am in total agreement with everything he says. I am glad somebody is saying what needs to be said. Not like the Democrats or those with Trump Derangement Syndrome, who are full of hate and want to see Trump fail. I love America and want Trump to succeed. There is a huge difference. I am praying for Trump. I believe somebody is giving him bad advice.
The bottom line is, America needs to stand by Israel. If we don’t, God’s mercy on our country will end. We deserve God’s judgment, and I believe God has been merciful to us only because we have been Israel’s staunchest ally. Trump has also been the most pro-Israel President we’ve ever had. But that seems to be changing.
I believe we are nearing the return of Christ. Matthew 24:6-13 is almost a snapshot of what we are seeing now.
You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains.
9 “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. 10 At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11 and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. 12 Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13 but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.

I remember reading this passage from the Olivet Discourse when I was around twelve years old. I am now seventy. I remember thinking way back then that I couldn’t imagine what Jesus told his disciples actually happening. It scared me. But what Jesus said is happening today. It’s on the front headlines; Scripture is being prophetically fulfilled.
I am praying for America and for President Trump. Please pray for Trump to receive sound advice, and pray for his soul. God has helped him to survive three assassination attempts. I truly believe it’s only by the grace of God that he is still here. But I fear he has lost his way. Trying to make a peace agreement with terrorists who have been chanting “Death to Israel and Death to America” for the past fifty years is ludicrous. Maybe time has run out. God might be coming back sooner than we think.
I would encourage you to watch the video. If you are not a Christian, give your life to Jesus Christ while you still have time. Don’t wait.
