Texas pastor Robert Jeffress, one of President Trump’s evangelical advisors said that God has given the president “full control” to take out North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Jeffress, who is the pastor of the First Baptist Dallas Church, wrote that Romans 13 has endowed “rulers’ full power to use whatever means necessary – including war – to stop evil.”
“In the case of North Korea, God has given Trump authority to take out Kim Jong-Un,” Jeffress said. “I’m heartened to see that our president – contrary to what we’ve seen with past administrations who have taken, at best, a sheepish stance toward dictators and oppressors – will not tolerate any threat against the American people.”
As tensions heightened between the United States and North Korea, Jeffress’ comments were made public the same day Mr. Trump promised “fire and fury” on the reclusive nation and its leader if it didn’t abandon its nuclear program. North Korea responded to Mr. Trump’s remarks by threatening to strike the U.S. territory of Guam.
In an interview with the Washington Post, Jeffress said that Roman’s 13 “gives the government… the authority to do whatever, whether it’s assassination, capital punishment or evil punishment to quell the actions of evildoers like Kim Jong Un.”
Jeffress has also preached sermons in support of other aspects of Mr. Trump’s agenda. “The first step of rebuilding the nation,” he said once, “was the building of a great wall. God instructed Nehemiah to build a wall around Jerusalem to protect its citizens from enemy attack. You see, God is NOT against building walls!”
Evangelical leaders are all in with Mr. Trump and will find biblical support for anything they want him to do.
“The Spirit of God is being grieved away from the earth. The nations are angry with one another. Widespread preparations are being made for war. The night is at hand.” Testimonies for the Church, Vol. 9, page 26.

Please pray for India and for Sijo and his ministry in India. Rising persecution is creating stress on the Hindu nation, especially for Christians. The government enacts repressive laws against Christianity. Persecution is especially difficult in the north where there are killings and torture of Christians, the spread of anti-Christian propaganda. India apparently intends to abolish Christianity in India by 2020.

Friday August 18th, 2017 at 07:16 AMWhat do you expect President Trump to do? Just allow Kim Jung-Un to nuke Guam and then the rest of America? He hasn’t got much choice.
The Bible says in the New Testament:
Romans 13:2-4
2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:
4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.

Friday August 18th, 2017 at 05:23 PMClaudia, Think about it. There are many ways to decrease the threat. Why up the rhetoric and the tension? The point is that the evangelical leader is pushing Trump to go to war – perhaps prematurely and catastrophically. War is never the best option, though it must be kept on the table. Jung Un wants attention and geopolitical status, not war. He knows that America has the capability to shoot down a warhead before it does any damage. He knows that the consequences for his own “kingdom” would be devastating should he push the button. He would lose everything by that decision. So he has to back down in a way that saves face with his own people. And he’s done it. It was inevitable.

Saturday August 19th, 2017 at 07:49 AMReally, what has North Korea done wrong? The US has nukes, England has nukes, Russia, China, Israel, etc. what makes it ok for them to have it and not North Korea? Don’t we realize that nukes are really a deterrent? Don’t we realize the hypocrisy? The question should be what’s the real reason behind the rhetoric against that country? Yes North Korea is going to eventually “fall in line” because Prophecy must be fulfill (all nation will succumb to the “beast”, the US (see Revelation 13:11-18). But remember God allows and one nation to punish another and then deals with that nation after. Case in point, God allowed Babylon to take Israel captive, but then Babylon was punished later on. Same thing with Egypt having the Israelites in slavery. Because God allows something, doesn’t mean that it’s a good thing.

Monday August 21st, 2017 at 04:43 PMThe Cathlic system came into being by wiping out 3 different nations in 538 AD in 1798 lost it’s power 1260 year prophecy fullfilled. 1929 got it’s power back now knowing America is the false prophet who has created the image to the beast in 501-c3. The false prophet working with the beast will destroy nations that will not fall into line with that agenda. 9/11 was their excuse to start the ball rolling in that direction and they will not stop till they have full control. This is predicted in Gods word and North Korea is just another country on that list. Just think China – Russia – Iran still must come into line to make the NWO One World Religion work for them . Just remember folks the Cathlic church does nothing by chance.
