“Por muchos años, hemos estado orando para que Dios levante hombres y mujeres de Dios en puestos de liderazgo e influencia en nuestro país”, escribió David Murray, pastor y autor. “Sin embargo, desde la administración de George W. Bush, han habido pocas [y preciosas] respuestas a esta oración”. El escritor continúa y expresa su asombro: “¿Quién hubiera pensado que Donald Trump sería la respuesta para esta oración?”
El Presidente electo Donald Trump ha designado a nueve profesos cristianos para su gabinete en la Casa Blanca.
Entre la lista se encuentra el Vicepresidente electo Mike Pence, quien dijo: “Mi fe cristiana es el corazón de lo que soy” y “yo soy cristiano, conservador y republicano, en ese orden”. También se encuentran: Reince Priebus, Jefe de Gabinete; Jeff Sessions, Fiscal General; Dr. Ben Carson, Vivienda y Desarrollo Urbano; Betsy DeVos, Educación; Rex Tillerson, recientemente anunciado como Secretario de Estado; Scott Pruitt, Agencia de Protección Ambiental (EPA); Mike Pompeo, Agencia Central de Inteligencia (CIA) y Nikki Haley, embajador ante las Naciones Unidas.
Murray dijo que la expectativa que genera este liderazgo puede tomarse como un gigantesco paso que nos aleja de la “mayor cacería y persecución de cristianos que hubiésemos tenido que enfrentar si Hillary hubiese ganado”.
¿A dónde llevará esto? “Los dignatarios de la iglesia y del estado se unirán para hacer que todos honren el domingo, y para ello apelarán al cohecho, a la persuasión o a la fuerza. La falta de autoridad divina se suplirá con ordenanzas abrumadoras. La corrupción política está destruyendo el amor a la justicia y el respeto a la verdad; y hasta en los Estados Unidos de la libre América, se verá a los representantes del pueblo y a los legisladores tratar de asegurarse el favor público doblegándose a las exigencias populares por una ley que imponga la observancia del domingo. La libertad de conciencia que tantos sacrificios ha costado no será ya respetada. En el conflicto que está por estallar veremos el cumplimiento de las palabras del profeta: “Airóse el dragón contra la mujer, y se fue para hacer guerra contra el residuo de su simiente, los que guardan los mandamientos de Dios, y tienen el testimonio de Jesús”. Apocalipsis 12:1. El Conflicto de los Siglos, pág. 650.

20 de diciembre de 2016 at 14:28 02Tue, 20 Dec 2016 14:28:10 +000010.We are pointing out a prophetic reality. We stay focused on the prophetic issues and avoid debating the merits of the candidate or the politics involved. What is happening in America is that the enemy has pushed the nation so far to the left that there is now a right-ward reaction. Just what the enemy ordered! That is now in play. In other words, the issue is not whether one is better than the other. This issue is the prophetic implications. Will God’s people welcome a Sunday law should these radical evangelicals start pushing for it? Admin

You need to be more careful with the agenda you try to push and filter your articles better. Don’t try to influence your followers with false predictions. I believe Ellen White s writings but not when taken out of context like this.

20 de diciembre de 2016 at 14:38 02Tue, 20 Dec 2016 14:38:28 +000028.We aren’t jumping to anything. We track prophecy, not politics. We dispassionately evaluate the developments in light of God’s word. Would Ben Carson be responsible for setting the stage for the final scenes in earth’s history? Think about it. It happens that Ben Carson (who violates the SOP counsel concerning politics, the Sabbath and who knows what else) along with Bill Dallas (of United in Purpose), was the very one who brought Trump to the evangelicals who were responsible for getting him elected. Think what Trump has promised the evangelicals in order for them to come on board. He has promised them the world so to speak. He has promised to give them more power, repeal the Johnson amendment, and eliminate separation of church and state. Where does all that lead to in terms of prophecy? Could Ben Carson end up being responsible for the rise of worship laws in the United States in this “great effort” to make America Great Again? But this time it is not based on the separation of church and state, but on the uniting of the two – creating the image of the beast. Those who follow the prophecies know that it will be apostate protestantism that will bring on the Sunday law in the new world. That’s referring to the evangelicals, the very ones Ben led to support Trump. As they get more power, where do you think this will take the country. Remember America has been pushed so far to the left by the enemy of souls that a right-ward reaction is inevitable. It will not bring America back to center. It will end up in the other ditch. The reaction is now in play. Just what the enemy ordered. Open your eyes. Its not hard to see. The evangelical love affair with Mr. Trump is dangerous to the freedom of God’s people and His true church. God bless.

I grieve over how Ben Carson has fallen away from the SOP and is leading many to go the way of the world with him. I hope people will turn off their TV’s and delve deeply into the Bible an Mrs. White’s writings to get a clear picture of what is before us. Politics is of this world, we are leaving this world behind.

20 de diciembre de 2016 at 23:37 11Tue, 20 Dec 2016 23:37:27 +000027.In reading all the comments, I find them to be somewhat interesting; and the negative, critical comments to be disappointing. I just want to share the following: Daniel was a statesman in the court/government of Nebuchadnezzar Daniel’s witness brought the king to the knowledge of God. Could Dr. Carson be a Daniel in Trump’s «court»? Ancient Israel, God’s elected people/nation, was never ruled by a woman. God never allowed that. Think of what happened to Jezebel when she tried to rule with Ahab. Now, compare that to what happened with Hillary and Trump. At the final moment, Trump won by an unprecedented landslide that no one expected. Like ancient Israel, this country, the USA, was selected for His people, His church. Do we seriously think that He is going to allow a woman to rule? When has God ever changed His way of doing things? He’s the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. If He didn’t approve of a woman ruling over ancient Israel, (Deborah was a judge, not a Queen), He’s not about to approve a woman ruling over this nation that He has set up as a protestant, Christian nation. There is no way Hillary, or any other woman was going to win. While He still protects and shelters this nation, He will never allow a woman to rule. Trump is going to the White House and will do what God has set in motion for him/Trump to do. If for no other reason but this, we need to pray for him. We need to pray for all of them that they come to know Jesus before it’s too late. Perhaps, just perhaps, that’s why Dr. Ben is there; to witness and minister. It may be for his salvation as well. We just don’t know what God is up to so it’s best just to keep everyone in prayer. And that includes ourselves!!!

21 de diciembre de 2016 at 12:37 12Wed, 21 Dec 2016 12:37:42 +000042.Daniel was not elected, he was appointed. There is a huge difference. Same for Joseph and Esther. You also said that it was an unprecedented landslide. That is also false. Thirdly, there have been many female leaders over nations including Britain. God may well have set in motion some things for Trump to do. But keep in mind, God’s people are facing an overwhelming crisis that will shock them and shake them to the core. Many who think that somehow Trump is the savior aren’t paying attention to Bible prophecy. Evangelicals are not likely to bring the nation back to center. They will find it very difficult to resist the momentum to push the nation to the opposite extreme. I am aware that Hillary would do more Obamadamage to the nation, but the enemy is playing a game for souls. He wants your soul as well. If you think Trump is going to solve America’s problems, think again. With evangelicals in power, we are likely to see more than expected. There are sleepers there that have not been exposed. We do not criticize government leaders. We report on fulfilling prophecy. Get it out of your head that we are commenting on politics or the merits of one candidate or another. We are solely interested in prophecy. Go deeper. Understand that we are living in the very last days. Admin.

21 de diciembre de 2016 at 00:17 12Wed, 21 Dec 2016 00:17:44 +000044.We are conservative Seventh-day Adventists, and we believe God raised up Trump to give God’s people more time. We prayed all night long on election night, and for days and nights before they. We prayed to God that He would deliver us out of the hands if Hillary, who was the Popes first pick. Everybody knows this. Read the sources showing George Soros and the Pope working together.
We are here in Wisconsin, and we prayed unceasingly. We prayed that Wisconsin would bring Trump over the 270 mark. Wisconsin has not gone red since 1984. Almost immediately after we were done, Wisconsin brought Trump over from 264 to 274! We knew God answer our prayer. This was unheard of.
I believe that your attacks on Trump are uncalled for and very dangerous. You ought to be praising God that he delivered this nation from Jezebel.

21 de diciembre de 2016 at 12:48 12Wed, 21 Dec 2016 12:48:04 +000004.I’m floored at the shallowness of some. We have not attacked anyone including Trump. We are focused on prophecy and its fulfillment involving the president of the United States. That would be Trump in the very near future. And already ominous prophetic signs are lining up. We’re sorry if he is your pet politician. But we have to speak the truth concerning prophecy. Eight years ago, it was Obama that was every body’s fair haired politician. He did many things that fulfill prophecy during his time too. We were criticized for publishing about that. And before Obama, we were criticized for publishing on GW Bush for fulfilling prophecy as well. We could care less about politics. Our focus is on fulfilling prophecy. We do not criticize anyone. We simply link their words and actions to fulfilling prophecy. You draw your own conclusions. If you can’t go deep enough to understand this, pity help you. There are many good things that Trump will do. But those are for others to publish about. We are focused on prophecy. The pope is not the primary public player in the loss of religious freedom in the USA. It will be the evangelicals. Of course the Catholic Bishops and the pope will be involved especially behind the scenes, but it will be the evangelicals that will lead the charge. Giving them more power is the real danger. They will not restrain themselves in due time. The enemy of souls has provided us with two bad options. Hillary who would assault Religious Liberty more aggressively than Obama perhaps. And Trump who will give the evangelicals more power – leading straight to the climactic final moments of earth’s history. Take your pick. Either choice is bad news from a completely different perspective. Whenever there is a new president many people get emotionally bound up with him. Many of God’s own people who should be watching the signs of the times, defend him as if he is their savior. That is exactly what the enemy wants. Get them so involved in political parties and partyism, and defending their candidate, that they miss the larger signs of the end. Christian regards. Admin

21 de diciembre de 2016 at 14:38 02Wed, 21 Dec 2016 14:38:00 +000000.From what I understand this political season has been the most emotional and least well thought out election process ever! People are heavily invested in personal like or dislike of characters involved rather than on real issues. «Christians» who form opinions about politicians and then involve themselves in the political foray by casting dispersion on those who don’t think as they do are fooling themselves and wasting their energies! Our government is God in Heaven. Being emotionally motivated in any way with politics is dangerous. Draw close to Jesus and His will for you, NOT party politics!

29 de diciembre de 2016 at 20:53 08Thu, 29 Dec 2016 20:53:40 +000040.I am thankful we have been counseled to vote on issues or principles, not to vote for personalities or parties (my words/take on the counsel). When did God every tell us to vote for the lesser of two evils (as if we were smart enough to determine that in the first place)? I am blessed to be able to answer, «I didn’t vote!» if asked who I voted for. The only vote I can cast that will make any difference for good in the Kingdom of Heaven is to vote YES! to The Savior’s rule over my life – which I do every day. Kingdoms and rulers of this old world come and go, but praise God Almighty, His rule will last forever!

30 de diciembre de 2016 at 19:55 07Fri, 30 Dec 2016 19:55:21 +000021.Yes, the popular view now is that Church and State should be united. This is Satan’s plan and was implemented during the «Dark Ages» under Papal rule. The results was to vanquish the truth – God’s Holy Word, and annihilate HIs followers. This wicked union of Church & State killed over 50 million!
Evangelical Christians (so called) in close connection with the Papacy think that God needs HELP by FORCING people to worship a certain way using LEGISLATION and that people should not be allowed to choose. They now know what is best for everyone.
God does not need our help, just ask Uzziah! He requires our obedience.
How could or should anyone trust them when they were the ones that «checked off» any and all evil of the incoming Presidency? How do people who are supposed to be «Christ like» support and vote for evil personified? God does allow evil men to rule, but WHEN are these wicked men, God’s choice?
Always remember it was RELIGIOUS leaders that urged the people to pick Barrabas and crucify Jesus (the truth). People may not like or agree with the parallel, but our beloved & highly esteem «Religious: contemporary leaders have just asked us to pick and support Barrabas as opposed to TRUE Christian principals.
We have a price to pay for being deceived, and as a country and even the entire world will not be able to endure the destruction.
