The Epoch Times, by Victor Westerkamp: MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell made an impromptu speech at a White House meeting involving several national business leaders, urging people to get back to their faith and read the Bible.
Lindell made his remarks at the Rose Garden news conference on March 30, where many CEOs of national industries attended to discuss how they could live up to what Trump described as their “patriotic duty” to do their part in warding off threat of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, commonly known as novel coronavirus.
After the meeting, several CEOs were invited to address the assembled press from the podium.
“A friend of mine, Mike Lindell of MyPillow, boy, do you sell those pillows,” Trump said of Lindell, who was the first invited to speak, Politico reported. “It’s unbelievable what you do.”
Lindell briefly spoke about how MyPillow started converting 75 percent of its production from pillows to manufacturing safety masks last week and that the company is currently ramping up from producing 10,000 masks per day to 50,000 per day.
After Lindell was done, he asked Trump whether he could make some “off-the-cuff” remarks, to which Trump agreed.
My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell: “God gave us grace on November 8, 2016 to change the course we were on. God had been taken out of our schools and lives. A nation had turned its back on God. I encourage you to use this time at home to get back in the Word, read our Bibles.”
“God gave us grace on Nov. 8, 2016, to change the course we were on,” Lindell said, referring to the date Trump was elected president.
“God had been taken out of our schools and lives. A nation had turned its back on God, and I encourage you to use this time at home to get back in the Word. Read our Bibles and spend time with our families.
“Our president gave us so much hope where just a few short months ago we had the best economy, the lowest unemployment, and wages going up.
“It was amazing. With our great president, vice president, and this administration and all the great people in this country praying daily, we will get through this and get back to a place that’s stronger and safer than ever.”
After Lindell was finished, Trump took the stage and said Lindell’s remarks took him by surprise. “I did not know he was going to do that,” Trump said. “But he is a friend of mine, and I do appreciate it.”
Lindell’s spontaneous action was the talk of the town on social media, with many praising his opinion.
“Michael Lindell is a private citizen entitled to his own opinion. He is also being downright heroic for working to manufacture more masks,” correspondent Philip Wegmann of RealClearNews wrote on Twitter.
Our Comment:
Many leaders in our nation are beginning to put forth the need to return to God. And encouragements to seek God are not wrong in and of themselves because people in our world today do need to turn back to God. However, these kinds of declarations, according to prophecy, will result in the enforcement of Sunday laws and accusations against those who remain faithful to the Bible Sabbath.
Prophetic Link:
“And then the great deceiver will persuade men that those who serve God are causing these evils. The class that have provoked the displeasure of Heaven will charge all their troubles upon those whose obedience to God’s commandments is a perpetual reproof to transgressors. It will be declared that men are offending God by the violation of the Sunday sabbath; that this sin has brought calamities which will not cease until Sunday observance shall be strictly enforced; and that those who present the claims of the fourth commandment, thus destroying reverence for Sunday, are troublers of the people, preventing their restoration to divine favor and temporal prosperity.” The Great Controversy, page 590.
