Do not receive today’s Letter as political, but as spiritual because “we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places” (Eph. 6:12). Right now we are in a spiritual battle that requires discernment and preparation of the end-times and to not trust in any governments, including the US, nor their love of money schemes by their elite politicians.
Notwithstanding President Trump’s good domestic and foreign policies, exposing and rooting out fraud, waste and abuse in federal spending and the reversal of corrupt and wicked policies of former presidents Obama and Biden, what many conservatives hoped for with the re-election of President Trump seems to be vanishing. During his first term I warned against putting faith in our government just because someone we preferred was in office. That remains true today, but before going any further, I ask you to join me in prayer for President Trump and his cabinet for he appears to be back tracking from several key issues which he promised while campaigning.
When Biden was president, then-candidate Trump heavily criticized Biden for giving Ukraine billions of dollars and war equipment and materials. Six months into his second term President Trump met with the UN Secretary Rutte to provide billions of dollars in war equipment to help Ukraine fight Russia! Can’t make this stuff up! Worse, this budding new alliance with the UN comes after President Trump repeatedly criticized the UN and even sought US withdrawal from UN membership. It also comes after he promised he would end the Russia/Ukraine war on day one. It seems Trump’s actions are leading the world toward WWIII and not away from it.
Early on in Trump’s second term he and his DOJ head, Pam Bondi, and FBI head Kash Patel, promised the American people arrests of deep state players. Nothing has come of it. They said they would expose and arrest many connected to pedophile Jeffery Epstein and his “client list”, only to now suddenly tell the nation there are no further Epstein cases to pursue because there are none. Really? And we’re supposed to believe that? Epstein and his list, it would seem, had hundreds of victims, but suddenly there’s nothing to see here anymore. Reversals like this often afflict people who make it to a high political office, but then change course. But in this case the American people who elected Trump have every right to full transparency of Jeffery Epstein’s sex trafficking of underage girls, together with those associated with him in his pedophilia.
But shockingly President Trump has taken a hard stance against many who got him elected and who want transparency. Suddenly, we’re the “bad people” for asking! We must ask why he and his DOJ head Pam Bondi have slammed shut the case against Epstein. With hundreds of victims still suffering from Epstein and his cohorts, how can the case be closed? Worse, simply because we asked for the truth President Trump recently blasted out on his Truth Social telling the world “I don’t want their support anymore!” So now we, his former supporters are written off! Why is Trump suddenly so opposed to exposing Epstein’s “client list”, a list that President Trump said repeatedly existed? He should know! But suddenly we’re the bad guys for wanting the truth? Here’s just one reason why everything about Jeffery Epstein must immediately be exposed.
Something is amiss with President Trump and his DOJ and FBI heads for saying “case closed” regarding Jeffery Epstein’s grievous and decades-long crimes against humanity. Who in their right mind would not want perpetrators, accomplices and associates of billionaire Epstein who enjoyed the fruits of evil at the expense of innocent girls on his private island found, arrested and brought to justice? Keeping identities hidden sends a clear message that the fruits of wickedness is far more important than exposing the truth and bringing criminals to justice. We hear an awful lot from Trump about finding illegal criminal aliens. Daily we see the great efforts ICE officials make in arresting illegal criminals. Epstein’s victims deserve no less from US law enforcement!
Further, regarding President Trump’s battle cry to “Make America Great Again” and his proud pronouncement that America has entered her “Golden Age” of prosperity, I don’t buy it for one minute. The promise of MAGA is a deceptive diversion from reality, and I believe it’s because President Trump has little to no spiritual discernment, nor has advisors around him to speak the prophetic truths from God’s word. But you must know that when Antichrist comes he will make “a covenant with many” (Dan. 9:27) and it will be a very deceptive 7-year peace and prosperity for all. And what Trump calls our Golden Age is the same as the first 3 1/2 years of Antichrist’s reign. But be warned that God said “when they say, ‘Peace and safety!’ then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape” (1 Thess. 5:3). I believe God is allowing President Trump’s creation of the term “America’s Golden Age” to act as a discernible forewarning, giving the Church a heads-up to get its house in order and to prepare for the coming seven-year tribulation. Will the organized church heed? It’s doubtful.
A time of unequaled deception is near, but most people, many professing Christians included, are completely unaware and non-discerning of its approach. In fact, many professing believers are exuberant at Trump’s prospect and declaration of America’s Golden Age, believing that life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness will become a lasting reality for them and their children, not discerning that “spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places” are now being permitted by God to deceive the unbelieving and non-discerning of Satan’s seven-year effort to overthrow the rule of Almighty God in Christ. But we who know and believe the testimony of Christ prepare in truths ordered by God and not a Christ-dishonoring epiphany and traditions of men. Most people in the world, many professing Christians included, have no idea that the evils about to engulf the world, their duration, and God’s safety and provision for those who believe and prepare in Jesus’ testimony, is all documented in the Holy Bible. The problem is that most people allow others and their traditions to tell them what to believe instead of discerning the Scriptures for themselves. It’s been that way from the days of ancient Israel to our present day. Please read Eccl. 1:9–11.
Now, here’s something that may shock you. This world’s elite, the super wealthy, the unelected bureaucrats in high places, they know exactly what’s coming according to God’s word. Indeed, they know God’s word better than most professing believers, but instead hold to the Luciferian Doctrine. Those people are often members of secret societies which I will leave unnamed, but encourage you to research. This is why in the seven-year tribulation true born again Christians will be targeted for destruction, because at mid-trib Antichrist will force the world to worship him as God. The elite know that true believers worship the One and only true God. Many heads of governments are of the Luciferian Doctrine, including some in America. False religions will utterly collapse and fall in line with Antichrist’s mandates because they serve false gods while rejecting the One and only true God in Christ. Let’s be prepared by true faith in Jesus Christ.
