This persecution of Trump is not a new thing in the world.  It always happens when dynamic challenges confront stagnant orders.  The most obvious example is when Christ was persecuted and killed for his challenges to the static order of the day.  But we could say the same thing of Joseph, son of Jacob, whom God had renamed Israel.  Or the Apostle Paul, who was killed by the Romans who continued the preaching of Christ around the Mediterranean to the point where they killed him.  Or even Socrates was killed in Greek society for corrupting the youth with his words.  People being killed for challenging a static order filled with corruption is the story of the human race, and President Trump is the most modern example.  It’s not unusual for what is happening to him to be happening to someone who is a challenge to the established order.  The only real difference is that most of these occur regionally, but the Trump case is genuinely global.  And the process is always the same, made-up charges, weaponization of the legal system, and the implementation of a death penalty.  That is what Democrats are out for in America, but more than that, much of the world is rooted in communism, socialism, and all elements of general globalism.  Trump is a threat to that order, so the powers that have been corrupting our lives in the background are showing their presence by coming out against Trump.  Trump is the most famous person on Earth and is prepared to handle this prosecution, as they have always been looming in our lives in terrible ways.  Yet what’s different this time is that someone like him is coming out of America to challenge the world in ways they never have before.  This time, as opposed to all the biblical and historical figures, there is an assumption that Trump has a right to challenge those forces, making the panic ever deeper.

It’s not just that Trump is having all these grave injustices done to him, such as the arrest in Georgia for doing nothing but trying to run for office again.  I have said it often, the anger is that the established order has been picking our representatives for us for years, and Trump is truly a representative of the people.  They know Joe Biden didn’t get 81 million votes.  They knew they cheated in that election.  They know what they did during Covid.  They know what they are doing in Ukraine and many other places.  And they are being caught.  And their only option is this desperate prosecution of Trump, just as many have been destroyed as they emerged in history.  I particularly like the story of Joseph, the favorite son of Jacob whom his brothers sold into slavery in Egypt.  He was jailed for several years and essentially sentenced to death.  But Joseph had a particular skill, interpreting dreams, and he did rise to the top of Egyptian society under the care of Pharaoh, who had come to love Joseph.  And the tables were turned on the brothers, and the people of Israel flourished until the next pharaoh found them a threat to his power.  That’s the motivation behind most of these classic stories.  Threats to power must be destroyed.  This time is no different, only now it is the efforts of globalism for communist domination of the entire planet that is at stake.  And Trump and his first term scared that power to its very foundations.  And we are witnessing how scared they are by what they are doing to prosecute Trump and his supporters in obvious ways.  I see Trump, as I have now for a long time, as an instrument of God to destroy these powers and that much of what we are witnessing is a divine history meant to kill that vast evil on earth.

And why not, why not Trump, out of all people?  I think a look at Trump’s life now, in hindsight, makes a lot of sense.  He had great success in enduring what is happening now, to have the personal resources not to be like John the Baptist and be arrested for the pleasure of the powers ruling the day.  Trump is too big to stop and throw in jail to rot away until some wealthy socialite pleads for the head of the cousin of Jesus to be presented to her for all the vanity that evil would bathe in.  Trump isn’t perfect; he’s on his third marriage and has made many mistakes.  But then again, remember King David, who wanted to sleep with a woman who caught his eye, so he sent her husband to war to kill him so he could be with her.  Or what about King Soloman, who had so many wives, many of them worshipers of Baal?  God seems to shake his head at these shortcomings but forgives them so long as the primary objective is fulfilled.  And Trump fits in perfectly with these historical characters.  But this one is different because it’s global, and it is happening under the American assumption of free speech, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights that protects our society from such incriminations.  The communist globalists, of course, want to destroy the American way of life and the laws of the Constitution, making Trump the most crucial element to that preservation that has ever appeared on earth.  

Recently I couldn’t help but draw the comparison after Season Two of Chosen, where Jesus was having his famous Sermon on the Mount.  It reminded me of a Trump rally.  Of course, the popular show Chosen is a modern interpretation of a scriptural story of significance, and the current Trump rallies might have influenced the director.  But it indicates how this story of human need is as old as time.  When people see that someone is breaking down the static order that is suppressing them, which Jesus was doing, by the hand of God himself, they will crawl through broken glass for that person to shatter that suppressive static order.  And we know that because of the events that occurred over the next 2000 years.  We can see the hand of God at work again on a grand scale, not just a persecution for a speech given at the Sea of Galilee, but the words of Trump have reached every corner of Earth.  And just as the powerful forces of Roman society watched Jesus’ speech with fear at the power being displayed, we are watching that same persecution unleashed yet again.  But this time, we aren’t talking about Christ being crucified, Socrates being poisoned, Joseph being sold into slavery and killed in prison, or John the Baptist having his head cut off.  This time Trump is running for president to gain control of the free world as our direct representative, and he is too big of a personality to be prosecuted.  The public wants him to represent them on the world stage.  And it’s beautiful to watch.  The reason for America being created in the context of history is to unleash a person like Trump onto the world to destroy these tyrannical elements once and for all.  We had to have a fight because we have always had it.  Only this time, we have a country in America that expects to win, not for the forces of darkness to prevail.  Because Trump is just the right personality for this task at hand, and it’s wonderful to see and witness such a historical moment that thousands of years have been building up to this precise culmination.
