01/28/25 GET THE FACTS FIRST

(I am only scratching the surface of this subject. For instance, I am Pre-Trib, but i don't address the timing of the future events because that's not the point of this post.)

The White Horse and Rider in Revelation 6 represents the quick and widespread acceptance of a leader, who appears to be a person who will save the world from all of our troubles, such as poverty, violence, sickness, oppression. It appears that supposed "deliverer" will come as a world peacemaker.

Although I see some amazing parallels with the impact, which President Donald Trump is having on the world at this time, for various reasons I do not equate or conflate Trump with the Anti-Christ. I am not demonizing nor canonizing Trump. He is what he is and he will decide his own relationship with God.

However, he is a significant player in today's chaotic world, with such players as China, Russia, the Muslim world, South America, the Mideast, Israel and the Socialist (Communist), Humanists and Woke peddlers in the USA.

We appear to be living during a major paradigm shift, from the Laodicean period of Church history to the Epochal Tribulation period.

At the present time we are witnessing Trump impact American Government and world events so powerfully that people all over the world, including political and financial leaders, are lauding and applauding his sudden and unthinkable accomplishments, and at this point he is doing it through peaceful steps.

"Never Trumpers" are going to readily call him demonic, though many of his actions are basically good for freedom, family, finances and faith.

But be careful not to put your seal of approval on anyone. Taking steps that are good, and actually aligned with Divine will does not make a person godly (remember Cyrus?).

Trump is being touted by people in Israel (one of the most oppressed people groups in history), as being a man who can bring world peace. He confronts the most brutal political and religious leaders in the world, and calls on them to take major steps, which could end conflicts and suffering in the hottest military and political regions of the world. And, at this point he is doing it with economic and political deals rather than actual military aggression.

No, Trump is not the Messiah and he does not fit the profile of the coming Anti-Christ, but he is a preview of the coming Rider of the White Horse. He is showing us the international cry for peace and prosperity, which will be the condition of the world before the Tribulation.

I am glad to see several good things take place under his leadership at this time. I hope to see even more of a return to national sanity and spiritual awareness, which could lead sinners to Christ. But it is a mistake to look to him as anything more than a man. He is neither devil or deliverer.

Keep in mind, whoever a person chooses to serve without reservation, becomes an anti-Christ, a Christ replacement to that person, whether the actions of the supposed "champion" are humane or beastly.

The best way to respond to this time of opportunity is to turn completely to Christ, follow Him fully and be conformed to His image. Be not deceived.
