“POTUS SHIELD” is a “council of Pentecostal prelates that assembled to raise up a ‘spiritual shield’ in Washington, D.C., prior to President Donald J. Trump’s inauguration.” The POTUS SHIELD is planning to “prepare the way for the shift in our nation!” POTUS is an acronym for the title “President of the United States.”
What shift are they referring to? First, it would obviously be a shift away from the secularization that has occurred under the Obama administration. But will they also work to unite religion and government? Most certainly! After all, Donald Trump made it very clear that he was going to remove restrictions and barriers to uniting church and state. These religious leaders are now working diligently to prevent the loss of political gains made during the election and the early days of the Trump administration.
“Blow The Trumpet & Sound The Alarm,” says their website, “to those who have ears to hear and eyes to see! We focused first on the Whitehouse, the Supreme Court and Capitol Hill.” But they will not stop there. They are continuing their plans since the inauguration. “Now, we are moving onto other assignments including state capitols and agencies.”
“There is council in the wisdom of many who have the Mind of Christ. This ‘Divine mindset’ sees beyond what is obvious or natural and discerns the Will of God as inspired by Holy Scripture that is revealed with fresh revelation.”
So, in other words, “a fresh revelation” refers to their understanding of government that is merely “inspired” by the Holy Scriptures, but not necessarily instructed by it in every detail. Their agenda will not necessarily be in harmony with every principle of Holy Scripture.
Keep in mind that Jesus our example did not work for political or social reform. “The government under which Jesus lived was corrupt and oppressive; on every hand were crying abuses,—extortion, intolerance, and grinding cruelty. Yet the Saviour attempted no civil reforms. He attacked no national abuses, nor condemned the national enemies. He did not interfere with the authority or administration of those in power. He who was our example kept aloof from earthly governments. Not because He was indifferent to the woes of men, but because the remedy did not lie in merely human and external measures. To be efficient, the cure must reach men individually, and must regenerate the heart.” Desire of Ages, page 509.
“As some of the faith leaders and prophets that first heard and declared the will of God for this election process, and specifically the breaker anointing upon Donald Trump to usher in a new era; we are now assembling to humbly invoke the voice of the Lord. We are prayerfully committed to see, to hear, to declare and decree, and to prepare the way for transformation, reformation and revival of our nation!”
“The POTUS SHIELD vision is dynamic,” continues the website. “In this state of change, we embrace that we are “transforming from Glory to Glory” (2 Cor. 3:18) and as such we yield to the sovereign omnipotence of God Almighty.”
These religious leaders are looking for earthly, political glory, just as the rabbis did in Jesus’ day. They want to control government in the favor of the religious principles they define. And many of the changes they will make will be quite good for America. But they aren’t likely to only bring America back to the balance of liberty to the extreme right. According to the prophecies of scripture, they will go beyond that and cause America to speak like the dragon.
“And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.” Revelation 13:14, 15.
“The Council is committed to yield to the Lord in all things,” continues the website. Is that really true? Are they really committed to yielding to the Lord in all things? Considering that these leaders are all Sunday-keeping, Sunday promoting individuals who are in fact breaking God’s law by their testimony and example, how can they be committed to yielding to the Lord in all things, particularly in this important point? God’s law enjoins the seventh-day Sabbath as His day of rest. Many of these leaders declare that the Law of God is not in force today, particularly in regard to the seventh day.
“In this spirit, the inaugural principals of Our Mission include:
“1. To assemble, structure and activate The POTUS Shield as a powerfully interactive spiritual, apostolic, prophetic force that acts and reacts in unity, with efficiency and expedience;
“2. To be a leadership forum that is inclusive and embraces the Bible believing Body of Christ, with a Kingdom heart to embrace the Body of Christ as One, even as prayed by our Lord as written in the Gospel of John, Chapter 17.
“3. To connect as an apostolic network exclusively assigned to the affirmation and reformation of The United States of America as ONE nation under GOD;
“4. To discern, declare, and decree the strategies of the Lord for our nation, with a special sensitivity to the three branches of the United States Government;
“5. To prepare the way and coordinate the simultaneous spiritual alignment of the Kingdom shift that is manifesting and impacting the government and the Church;
“6. To lay the foundation to convene in Philadelphia in March during Purim to declare a renewed covenant as the renewed United States of America, as one nation under God, and to commission and plan similar covenants in each of the 50 states in the Union.
Watch out! This is dangerous stuff. Many of these religious leaders are dominionists and are starting to show their true hand. They want to overthrow the separation of church and state and bring in so-called “biblical principles” to govern America. While some of this is good, dominionism is also extremism. Dominionism as the belief that “America is a Christian nation” and involves opposition to separation of church and state. Some aspects of dominionism include dominion theology and Christian Reconstructionism.

Tuesday January 31st, 2017 at 03:52 AMWhile men are sleeping, Satan is actively arranging matters so that the Lord’s people may not have mercy or justice. The Sunday movement is now making its way in darkness. The leaders are concealing the true issue, and many who unite in the movement do not themselves see whither the undercurrent is tending. Its professions are mild and apparently Christian, but when it shall speak it will reveal the spirit of the dragon. {CCh 335.2}
It is one of Satan’s devices to combine with falsehood just enough truth to give it plausibility. The leaders of the Sunday movement may advocate reforms which the people need, principles which are in harmony with the Bible; yet while there is with these a requirement which is contrary to God’s law, His servants cannot unite with them. Nothing can justify them in setting aside the commandments of God for the precepts of men. {DD 32.1}

Friday February 3rd, 2017 at 10:31 AMThe first beast Rev13:3received the deadly wound (1798) which was healed. Many believe that healing was in 1923 when he was given land in Italy yet the beast has not achieved political power enough to command the whole world to worship the first beast. The second best rev13:11 usually defined as the United States (and image of the first beast) completes the healing of the deadly wound by providing political and ecclesiastical power then causing the whole world to worship the first beast on pain of death. This may be what Is beginning to take place

Friday February 3rd, 2017 at 08:16 PMTrump with his Evangelicals might fulfill the below predictions from the SOP
“A time is coming when the Law of God is, in a special sense, to be made void in our land. The rulers of our nation will, by legislative enactments, enforce the Sunday law, and thus God’s people be brought into great peril. When our nation, in its legislative councils, shall enact laws to bind the consciences of
men in regard to their religious privileges, enforcing Sunday observance, and bringing oppressive power to bear against those who keep the seventh-day Sabbath, the law of God will, to all intents and purposes, be made void in our land; and national apostasy will be followed by national ruin. We see that
those who are now keeping the commandments of God need to bestir themselves, that they may obtain the special help which God alone can give them. They should work more earnestly to delay as long as possible the threatened calamity. If, in our land of boasted freedom, a Protestant government should sacrifice every principle which enters into its Constitution, and propagate papal falsehood and delusion,
well may we plead, “It is time for thee, Lord, to work, for they have made void thy law.” Some may think that because it has been revealed in prophecy that our nation shall restrict the consciences of men, it
must surely come; and that if we make an effort to preserve our liberty, we shall be acting the part of unfaithful servants, and thus come under the condemnation of God”.{RH December 18,1888, Art.A,par. 6}
The substitution of the laws of men for the law of God, the exaltation, by merely human authority, of Sunday in place of the Bible Sabbath, is the last act in the drama. When this substitution becomes universal, God will reveal Himself. He will arise in His majesty to shake terribly the earth. He will come
out of His place to punish the inhabitants of the world for their iniquity, and the earth shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.—Testimonies for the Church 7:141. {ChS 160.2}
When our nation shall so abjure the principles of its government as to enact a Sunday law, Protestantism will in this act join hands with popery; it will be nothing else than giving life to the tyranny which has long been eagerly watching its opportunity to spring again into active despotism.—
Testimonies for the Church 5:712. {ChS 160.3}
By the decree of enforcing the institution of the Papacy in violation of the law of God, our nation will disconnect herself fully from righteousness. When Protestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf
to grasp the hand of the Roman power, when she shall reach over the abyss to clasp hands with Spiritualism, when, under the influence of this threefold union, our country shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and Republican government, and shall make provision for
the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions, then we may know that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan, and that the end is near.—Testimonies for the Church 5:451. {ChS 160.4}
The time is not far distant, when, like the early disciples, we shall be forced to seek a refuge in desolate and solitary places. As the siege of Jerusalem by the Roman armies was the signal for flight to the
Judean Christians, so the assumption of power on the part of our nation, in the decree enforcing the papal Sabbath, will be a warning to us. It will then be time to leave the large cities, preparatory to leaving
the smaller ones for retired homes in secluded places among the mountains.Testimonies for the Church 5:464, 465. {ChS 161.1}
The Sunday movement is now making its way in darkness. The leaders are concealing the true issue,and many who unite in the movement do not themselves see whither the undercurrent is tending…. They
are working in blindness. They do not see that if a Protestant government sacrifices the principles that have made them a free, independent nation, and through legislation brings into the Constitution principles that will propagate papal falsehood and papal delusion, they are plunging into the Roman
horrors of the Dark Ages.—The Review and Herald Extra, December 11, 1888. {LDE 125.3}
Through fraud and falsehood Satan is now using those who claim to be Christians to divorce the world from God’s mercy. They are working in blindness. They do not see that if a Protestant government sacrifices the principles that have made them a free, independent nation, and through legislation brings into the Constitution, principles that will propagate papal falsehood and papal delusion, they are plunging into the Roman horrors of the Dark Ages. But this need not be, just at this point of time, if the church is aroused to her duty and her work. A vast responsibility is devolving upon men and women of prayer throughout the land, to petition that God may sweep back this cloud of evil, and give a few more
years of grace to work for the Master. {RH December 11, 1888, Art. C, par. 13}
Through the two great errors, the immortality of the soul and Sunday sacredness, Satan will bring the people under his deceptions. While the former lays the foundation of Spiritualism, the latter creates a bond of sympathy with Rome. The Protestants of the United States will be foremost in stretching their hands across the gulf to grasp the hand of Spiritualism; they will reach over the abyss to clasp hands with the Roman power; and under the influence of this threefold union, this country will follow in the steps of Rome in trampling on the rights of conscience. The Great Controversy, 588. {ChS 160.1}

Sunday February 5th, 2017 at 05:44 PMWhile it is good to keep up with the events of the world, is this coming at the expense of events that are happening in the church, i.e. the Sanctuary doctrine and the Three Angel’s Messages?
As the big issue today,appears to rest on whether Dan. 8:9-11 applies to Rome, the crucifixion of Christ, and the destruction of the earthly temple, cf. 4BC, or to the Papacy, and a papal host that has overthrown the heavenly host, and the heavenly temple, cf. 12 BC and recent SS Lessons etc..
Consequently KTF may wish to comment on this issue and consider additional points presented in the short paper, “A Proposed Way Forward.”
If Rome , (along with Babylon), is missing in Daniel 8, (the current church teaching that has evolved post Glacier View), and verses 9-11 apply to the Papacy only, the explanation of the mar’eh vision, cf. verse 16, given to Daniel in 9:24-27 does not make sense.

Sunday February 5th, 2017 at 07:19 PMOur mission is to link current events with bible prophecy and encourage people to get ready for the coming of the Lord. We are not a site limited to SDAs only. We are a public site and that carries certain restrictions with it as you should know. We do address issues within Adventism occasionally when they impinge on the larger prophetic issues developing around us. If you were paying regular attention to our posts, you would have known that. Having said that, the internet is still a wide open market place. You are welcome to develop a site that suits you and post to your hearts content. But my only caution would be that you follow the SOP counsel concerning airing certain types of issues in a public way as some have unfortunately done. God bless.
