Over a hundred years before King Cyrus matched into Babylon God dictated a letter to him through the prophet Isaiah. Isaiah 44:28, “That saith of Cyrus, He is my shepherd, and shall perform all my pleasure: even saying to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be built; and to the temple, Thy foundation shall be laid.”
Also, as prophesied, Cyrus’ military was unopposed, Isaiah 45:1, “Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut;”
Unlike Cyrus, Trump met with great opposition, opposition from Liberals, from the current POTUS, a bias often lying media, old-time Democrat party hacks not above voter fraud, the Elicits both from without and within his own party and more. The more would certainly include Satan. The liberals and some conservatives were supporting Hillary Clinton even though she affirmed in the third debate that killing an unborn baby just prior to delivery was acceptable to her. That so many people could accept this horrendous crime is a great indicator of how far into the abyss this country has sunk.
Enter the evangelical Christians. Many leaders such as Franklin Graham reminded Christians that their failure to vote in 2012 for Mitt Romney because he was a Mormon likely cost him the election. Instead this bias was rewarded with the re-election of an advocate for Islam who often denigrates Israel and is working on the so-called two state solution. There was a tremendous groundswell of Christians not only in the United States but in Israel praying for Trump to be victorious. Prayer meetings were held often through the night before the election. Donald Trump is the President-elect; however, Obama still has two months to cause damage both to our country and to Israel.
We must be like modern-day children of Issachar, 1 Chronicles 12:32, “And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do; the heads of them were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their commandment.”
Like Cyrus who had already conquered most of the known world, Trump is a very successful businessman and, in my opinion, didn’t need the presidency. Cyrus encouraged the Israelites to return to Jerusalem and rebuild the temple. Rebuilding the temple didn’t go smoothly as a wall was needed. Israel was finally given permission to rebuild the wall leading to one of the greatest prophecies of all time. Daniel 9:25, “Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.”
The hand of God was involved in the selection of Cyrus to free the Israeli and help them to return to Israel. What is the likelihood that the hand of God was in the election of Donald Trump? Was the imperfect Donald Trump raised up for such time as this? I certainly think so.
For the last several years I’ve expected the wrath of God to fall on the United States as he apparently was lifting his hedge of protection. I see this election as a chance for us to once get it right and return to our core values. It will take some time but I’m optimistic and waiting to hear the words of Jesus, Matthew 5:14, “Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.”
