As President Trump Approaches his Third Year In Office, Christians Need To Be Reminded Why God Put Him There In The First Place

In 2008, God began to judge America for her sins by placing Barack Hussein Obama in office. In 2016, God made Donald Trump president to judge the world.

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

The presidency of Barack Obama was God’s direct judgment upon America, just as God making Saul king over Israel was actually a judgement on Israel. But the presidency of Donald Trump, on the other hand, is a judgment upon the world.

Donald John Trump was elected as the 45th president of these United States by the sovereign act of an almighty God’s will to place into power, and to remove from power, anyone He so chooses. So as we are passing the two and a half year mark of his presidency, a message from my pastor and a recent exchange with longtime NTEB reader Laura earlier today made me realize it was time to once again check in with some of the reasons behind why God would choose to use a man like Donald J. Trump. So let’s take a look, shall we?

“And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding: He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.” Daniel 2:21,22 (KJV)

As I have said many times before, I did not start out as a Trump supporter, I was leaning towards Ted Cruz in the beginning. But after learning that the people behind Cruz, and perhaps Ted Cruz himself, began to speak about Cruz being God’s ‘anointed king‘ to bring about the ‘end times wealth transfer‘, I began to look at other candidates. Being a Yankee from New Jersey, I had known about Donald Trump since the early 1980’s. And, quite frankly, it was because I knew about him that I did not feel inclined to vote for him.

But as I prayed for wisdom and guidance, the Holy Spirit began to lead me right to Trump’s doorstep. And it had nothing to do with wanting to ‘make America great again’. Don’t get me wrong, I am the son of a WWII and Korea vet, and the brother of a United States Marine. I am as patriotic as they come. But as I bible believer and student of prophecy, I knew America’s best days are behind her. Let me tell you why before I go any further.

Judgment On America Began With The Election Of Barack Hussein Obama

Back in 2012, I wrote an article entitled ‘Obama Is The King God Has Given To Reign Over America In the Last Days‘, and in that article I spoke about how, in my opinion, God has started to judge America as a nation. I honestly did not think that America would survive much past 8 years of rule by the Kenyan Barry Soetoro, a true ‘manchurian candidate‘ if ever there was one. But though we did survive Obama, and have continued forward, it sooned dawned on my that the judgement from God was going to continue under Donald Trump. Albeit for entirely different reasons than it did with Obama.

“And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them. Now therefore hearken unto their voice: howbeit yet protest solemnly unto them, and shew them the manner of the king that shall reign over them.” 1 Samuel 8:7,9 (KJV)

The presidency of Barack Obama was God’s direct judgment upon America, just as God making Saul king over Israel was actually a judgement on Israel for their rebellion against God. But the presidency of Donald Trump, on the other hand, is a judgment upon the world. And what better way to judge the world than by using the nation that has the world’s largest economy and the world’s strongest military – America!

Why I Felt God Led Me To Support Donald Trump For President

The first article I wrote, nearly a year before Trump was elected, is called ‘Why A Bible Believer Is Supporting Donald Trump For President Of The United States“, and in that article you can read why I felt the Lord chose me to support Donald Trump, warts and all. By this point, I was so sure that Trump would win because of what the Lord told me, I went out on a crazy limb and made this prediction:

As I see it, Donald Trump will be the far-and-away winner for the Republican party nomination for president in 2016. Hands down. …he will easily win in November in a landslide.

Writing that article, and making that prediction had the near immediate effect of the following things. First, I got more hate mail, from other Christians, than you could shake a stick at. People were mad, very mad, at me for supporting Trump. The second thing that happened was people threatened to stop coming to NTEB, and guess what, they did! Almost overnight, our site went from over 1.3 million views a month to less than 300,000. Ouch.

That’s when I had to start doing some fundraising to keep NTEB online, prior to that I paid for everything from ad revenue the site generated. The incredible excitement I had felt at the first, knowing I had heard from the Lord that He would make Donald Trump president, and a whole a year before the election, was soon tempered by the start realization that being the one bringing that message also destroyed my income stream. But that’s another story for another day.

The second article I wrote in our ‘The Last Trump‘ series was called ‘The Real Reason Why Donald Trump Was Chosen To Be The Republican Candidate For President‘, and in it I make the case why I think God placed Donald Trump in power as a global judgment. I highly recommend that you click on these links to my previous articles, I promise you it will bring back many things you have already forgotten surrounding Trump’s miraculous election.

Why God Is Using President Trump To Judge The World

The next article in the series I want to direct your attention to, and perhaps the most powerful, is called “The Global Shaking From A Trump Presidency We Warned You About Last Year Has Already Started“. This was written mere weeks into his presidency, and even at that time, his election was already causing a shaking around the political world. Here is a brief snippet of how much of the world order began to shake in just that short span of time:

“For thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land; And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts.” Haggai 2:6,7 (KJV)

A RANDOM SAMPLINGS FROM HEADLINES IN TRUMP’S FIRST MONTH IN OFFICE:

  • TRUMP CHALLENGES THE WORLD ORDER: President-elect Donald Trump is alarming critics by not only threatening to dispatch with political correctness but also disregarding the basic tenets of world order surrounding nuclear weapons. With a single tweet Thursday and then a follow-up chat with a television broadcaster on Friday, Trump entered the holiday weekend shaking up global affairs by stating an interest in vastly expanding the U.S. nuclear arsenal, even if it means restarting an arms race with Russia. source

  • TRUMP WARNS UNITED NATIONS AFTER ISRAEL VOTE SAYS ‘THINGS WILL BE DIFFERENT NOW”: President-elect Donald Trump slammed the Obama administration for its decision not to veto a U.N. resolution critical of Israel’s settlements, promising that it would be “different” under his presidency. “As to the U.N., things will be different after Jan. 20th,” Trump tweeted Friday. source

  • DONALD TRUMP SHAKES INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS: President-elect Donald Trump long ago earned a reputation for being unpredictable in his statements, but he outdid himself on Thursday. In the span of just a few hours, Trump shook international relations by undercutting the Obama administration over a UN resolution on Israeli settlements, indicated he would ramp up nuclear competition with Russia and then jolted a major defense contractor — and its shareholders — by suggesting he would ask Boeing to replace a fighter jet being made by Lockheed Martin. source
  • TRUMP HAS THE GUTS TO MOVE U.S. EMBASSY TO JERUSALEM: U.S. Congressman Dave Brat and Congressman-elect Scott Taylor affirmed their belief that President-elect Donald Trump will make good on his promise to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem. “Trump’s priority in moving the embassy is a huge symbol,” Taylor told Breitbart Jerusalem on Monday at the Jerusalem Leaders Summit. “You’ve heard of other presidents who have started to do it but they end up not doing it, but I think he will. And I support it.” Congressman Dave Brat agreed: “Oh, he has the guts to do it.” source

Wow, right? At that was just at the 4-week and three day mark, believe it or not! So, at this point, are you starting to remember and starting to see what I am talking about? Now look at the last 2.5 years of Trump’s presidency, can you see God’s hand of judgement on this world? If you still cannot see it, scan some of these headlines and it will all come rushing back to you.

The Cup Of This World’s Judgment Almost Full Now

So, where does all this leave us? It leaves us in a day and age where babies are aborted and their still-warm flesh is sold to create ‘humanized mice‘, and where lost people demand that the ‘right’ to have robot sex be protected under international law. It leaves us with politicians talking about forced sterilization of human beings to ‘stop climate change‘, and the ‘First Annual Christian Witches Convention‘ being held in Salem, Massachusetts.

I could on on about the mayor of Landsdale, PA, proclaiming February 2nd to be called ‘Inclusion Day’ to commemorate indoctrinating school children with the LGBTQP ‘story fun time’ at the local library, or how France is replacing the words ‘mother’ and ‘father’ with ‘parent 1’ and ‘parent 2’. And if all that doesn’t do it for you, how about the Roman pope signing a ‘universal peace covenant‘ with Islam?

“For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country. And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned. But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.” Hebrews 11:14-16 (KJV)

Christian, time is almost up, stop fooling yourself about reviving America’s ‘glory days’, because it’s not going to happen. The ship is going down, and we are called to get as many souls in to the lift raft that is Jesus Christ, that is our mission. Stop wasting your time arguing politics and start fishing for the souls of men! Our pastor at church this morning gave an incredible, soul-stirring message on ‘preaching in your Jerusalem’, which is to say where you are right now. You may be here tomorrow, but that person the Lord has put on your heart to take the gospel to may not be.

Time to get busy, Christian, the footsteps of the Master draw near. Flight #777 on Titus213 Airlines now boarding.

Only One Life, Twill Soon Be Past – Poem by C.T Studd

Only one life, twill soon be past,
Only what’s done for Christ will last.

Only one life, yes only one,
Soon will its fleeting hours be done;
Then, in ‘that day’ my Lord to meet,
And stand before His Judgement seat;

Only one life,’twill soon be past,
Only what’s done for Christ will last.

This Is Why I Voted For Donald Trump For President

I believe that God told me to support Donald Trump, told me that he would win in a landslide, and to give him my whole-hearted support for this very reason. To be a blessing to Israel and the Jewish people. Donald Trump has done what every president for the past 70 years promised, but never delivered. Only Donald Trump moved the US Embassy to Jerusalem, and only Donald Trump has declared Jerusalem to be the capital of Israel. This is why I supported him, and will continue to do so until the Lord tells me otherwise. Keep looking up!

New Netflix Movie ‘Leave The World Behind’ Produced By Barack Obama Released As Chinese Cyber Army Hacks Into US Power Grid And Utilities, Coincidence?

Published

on

barack-obama-netflix-movie-leave-the-world-behind-predictive-programming-end-times-apocalypse
SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

‘Leave the World Behind’ is a 2023 American apocalyptic psychological thriller film executive produced by Barack and Michelle Obama for Netflix

For starters, we have covered for many years, the money-path that the Barack and Michelle Obama have taken after their first two terms in the White House. One leg of that path led straight to Netflix where, for a cool $50,000,000.00, they were invited to produce movies supporting their Leftist Agenda. Predictably, their first effort ‘American Factory’ was awarded the Oscar with seemingly no effort at all. It was a ‘Christmas Miracle!’. So let’s talk about their latest release, an end times apocalyptic thriller, (yes you heard right), called ‘Leave The World Behind’.

“And they brought forth the images out of the house of Baal, and burned them.” 2 Kings 10:26 (KJB)

The first thing I’d like to direct your attention to is the movie poster itself, proudly featuring the names of the 4 stars who act in it, is the fascinating little acrostic it contains. We have gone ahead and highlighted what we found in red, and you will see it forms the word ‘Baal’. That’s not a review, that’s the marketing, so you can see the position we start this from. But honestly, did you expect anything different from Barack and Michelle Obama? I certainly did not.

As far the movie itself goes, I gave up my Netflix subscription when they started showing movies promoting kiddie porn, pro-abortion and such like so I had to rely on various sources like social media and a plot synopsis. The least troubling part of the ‘Leave The World Behind‘ is the overt racism it promotes where the main characters are reinforcing the troupe that blacks cannot trust whites. Democrats have nothing if they stop peddling racism, and it is peddled quite well here.

THE MAIN THEME: “After a prolonged stand-off, Danny decides to help Archie in exchange for money and directs them to a nearby underground bunker prepared for doomsday. G.H. confesses to Clay that he knows what’s happening – he says that a political coup d’état is afoot, which is why the people in positions of power are letting a civil war take root by disrupting technology and feeding chaos. Amanda and Ruth see New York City being bombed, and Rose has walked into the neighboring home and found the bunker, where an Emergency Alert System interceptor reveals that the U.S. is at war with rogue armed forces with the suggestion of radiological weapons being involved.” Basically, it’s a story about the end of the world written by lost people without the Bible. But you get the idea.

Translated it reads like this. Barack and Michelle have produced an end times movie showing the United States government turning against the people, and using the military to bomb them into submission. Hmm, sounds like someone has been roaming in the corridors of Now The End Begins. We’ve been warning of things like that for 15 years now. I’m sure it’s just a ‘coincidence’, but ‘Leave The World Behind’ comes out just as reports of the Chinese Cyber Army hacking the US power grid are revealed. I’m sure that’s just a crazy coincidence. Now back to your bunker.

Barack Obama Parses His Words Very Carefully As He Calls For An ‘End To The Occupation’ And An Implementation Of The Two State Solution

Published

on

barack-obama-democracy-foundation-sides-with-hamas-palestinians-calls-israel-occupiers-two-state-solution
SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Former President Barack Obama called the Israel-Hamas conflict a ‘moral reckoning for all of us’ at an event hosted by his foundation Friday, says ‘occupation must end’.

Last time I checked, Israel was not occupying anyone. They are in their land, given to them by God, as the Bible clearly points out in Genesis. But there is indeed an ‘occupation’ of Gaza and the Palestinians, only it’s Hamas who is doing the occupying. But as Obama was throwing around phrases like ‘end the occupation’, he never mentions who is referring to, and that’s quite intentional. He needs to keep things ‘open ended’ so as not to cause his donors to flee, without alienating his Jewish staff members.

“In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates: The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites, And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims, And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.” Genesis 15:18-21 (KJV)

For those of you who are not geographical scholars, here is the original land grant God gave to Abraham in bullet points:

  • The upper-right portion of Egypt
  • All of modern-day Israel
  • All of Lebanon
  • All of of Syria
  • A piece of Turkey
  • Half of Iraq
  • The northern half of Jordan
  • A little slice of Saudi Arabia

Now I understand that in this dispensation of the Church Age, that is something that will never be realized. Israel is actually preparing to go into the time of Jacob’s trouble which includes the 3.5 year time of the great Tribulation. But there is a Day coming where, in that day, all the land that I just told you belongs to Israel will be given back to them by the LORD Himself. In the meantime, Israel is a ‘deadly piece of dirt’ that grows deadlier with each passing day. One day, people like Barack Obama will bow down before the Jewish King of Kings, and confess that Jesus Christ is LORD to the glory of God the Father. And there will be no more the Canaanite in the house of the LORD. That’s a fact, and that’s Bible. Go look it up.

Obama calls for end of ‘occupation,’ security for Israel, state for Palestinians

FROM FOX NEWS: Obama spoke at the Obama Foundation’s Democracy Forum on Thursday, where he called for a two-state solution and an end to the “occupation,” while not clarifying what occupation he meant.

“All of this is taking place against the backdrop of decades of failure to achieve a durable peace for both Israelis and Palestinians,” the former president told the forum audience.

Obama continued, “One that is based on genuine security for Israel, a recognition of its right to exist, and a peace that is based on an end of the occupation and the creation of a viable state and self-determination for the Palestinian people.”

Palestinian governing authority Hamas launched a terrorist attack against Israel on October 7 that killed over 1,400 Israeli citizens. Since then, more than 9,000 people have been killed in Gaza as Israeli Defense Forces continue their ground incursion of the region, the Gaza Health Ministry claims. The death toll is expected to rise once buildings are cleared and rubble is taken away.

“Now, I will admit, it is impossible to be dispassionate in the face of this carnage,” Obama said Thursday. “It is hard to feel hopeful. The images of families mourning, of bodies being pulled from rubble, force a moral reckoning on all of us.”

“We’ve had to sort through our anguish, our outrage, our fears and our differences on the issues,” he said. “I had a conversation with a group of you around this issue, and you were passionate and pushed me around some of the public statements I’d made.”

“And the issue is not a wish for different outcomes – an end to the killing, peaceful coexistence between two sovereign and free peoples – but rather different assessments of the path that we need to take in order to get there,” former president Obama continued.

The United States does not officially support a cease-fire, as President Biden has repeatedly affirmed Israel’s right to self-defense against Hamas. Biden has recently shifted his tone, amid pressure from progressive groups and world leaders, to express support for a humanitarian “pause.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that a pause in Israel’s ground invasion would give time for Hamas to reorganize or plan other attacks. READ MORE

Barack Obama Writes An Open Letter To America’s Librarians Defending & Supporting The LGBTQIA+ Child Grooming Books Sparking Outrage

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Former President Obama on Monday praised the nation’s librarians for standing on the front lines as book bans on LGBTQIA+ graphic porn publications designed to groom and recruit children spread around the nation.

One of the most-pressing and vital issues of our day is putting a stop to the ever-increasing grooming, recruiting and sexualization of our children that goes on 5 days at within the confines of the public school and public library systems across America. Some of the books that are right now available in public libraries and aimed at kids are so filthy that, when read aloud by an irate parent at a school board meeting, they are told to stop reading those passages because they are too graphic. Yesterday, Barack Obama wrote a letter in favor of allowing those books to remain in the libraries, is anyone surprised?

“If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend against the generation of thy children.” Psalm 73:15 (KJB)

One of the tricks employed by the Left and the leftist media is to conflate the LGBTQIA+ agenda with racism, to make it seem like they are one, and the queers with their grooming and recruiting policies draft in behind the legitimate concerns of people of color. Barack Obama does this multiple times in his open letter to the librarians across the country, but to no avail. We will not fall for that nor allow that to be a talking point. The LGBTQIA+ are attempting to force their books displaying graphic depictions and (GRAPHIC LINK WARNING) images of queer sexual activity into the libraries, and we need to push back against this for as long as it takes to defeat it. Some things absolutely should be censored, and books showing (GRAPHIC LINK WARNING) gay oral anal sex to kids in the 3rd grade is one of them. Maybe you recently watched ‘Sound of Freedom’ and got motivated to do something to stop child sex trafficking, and that’s great. Start by going to your local Public Library, and the library in your kid’s schools, and demand the removal of these filthy queer porn books aimed at grooming your kids.

Obama gives shoutout to librarians while blasting queer sex books for children censorship

FROM THE HILL: In a letter to the “hardworking librarians of America,” Obama denounced recent attempts to ban books that touch on topics like gender, sexuality and race. He said many of these books and their authors shaped his life.

“Writers like Mark Twain and Toni Morrison, Walt Whitman and James Baldwin taught me something essential about our country’s character. Reading about people whose lives were very different from mine showed me how to step into someone else’s shoes. And the simple act of writing helped me develop my own identity — all of which would prove vital as a citizen, as a community organizer, and as president,” Obama said.

“Today, some of the books that shaped my life — and the lives of so many others — are being challenged by people who disagree with certain ideas or perspectives,” he added.

barack-michelle-obama-write-letter-to-librarians-defending-lgbtqia-grooming-recruiting-books-for-children-july-2023

During the 2021-2022 school year, more than 1,600 books were banned from school libraries, affecting 138 school districts in 32 states, according to a report from PEN America. Over the last two years, at least 19 states have passed legislation that would incarcerate librarians for providing “harmful” books to minors, according to The Washington Post.

Americans owe librarians a “debt of gratitude” for continuing to provide access to these stories, Obama said.

“In a very real sense, you’re on the front lines — fighting every day to make the widest possible range of viewpoints, opinions, and ideas available to everyone,” Obama said. “Your dedication and professional expertise allow us to freely read and consider information and ideas, and decide for ourselves which ones we agree with.”

Obama’s statement comes as he has joined libraries around the country on TikTok to promote access to books. Though his home state of Illinois is leading the fight to outlaw book bans in public libraries, other states are seeing librarians targeted. In Texas, for instance, police have been called to schools and public libraries at least five times for books that contain “illegal content,” according to the Houston Chronicle.

But illegal content ranges from books covering the life of Ruby Bridges, the first Black child to attend a white-only school, to writings by the nation’s first youth poet laureate, Amanda Gorman.

In his letter, the 44th president said it’s “no coincidence” that many banned books are written by people of color, indigenous people and members of the LGBTQ community.

“I believe such an approach is profoundly misguided, and contrary to what has made this country great,” Obama said.  READ MORE
