Snowflakes, Trump, & the Kingdom of God



SNOWFLAKES, TRUMP, AND THE KINGDOM OF GOD

Students, young people, and bussed in Soros protestors are marching in the streets, blocking traffic including ambulances, and with some of them involved with property destruction.  They all appear to be protesting president-elect Donald Trump with signs reading “Not My President”, “F**K Trump” and other slurs.  What is it about Trump they do not like?  The “Wall”, the deportation of illegals and militant Muslims, his so-called anti-feminism, perhaps it’s the cutting back or elimination of abortion clinics?

Most likely, the protestors have grown up in a liberal family with no rules or regulations, attended a liberal public or private school without actually learning correct reading and writing skills or practical math skills, and lived their lives with no guidelines at their parent’s home as if in a private apartment.  This group of young people are termed “snowflakes” due to their so-called fragile and delicate dispositions. We could also identify them as unstable for their lack of a direction for life.  The election of Hillary Clinton rather than Trump would have been a continuation of their lifestyle and thoughts, or so they think.

The internet experience for the snowflakes is most likely Facebook and emails, not real online news sources.  By viewing only mainstream media, they would not be aware of events such as: (1) the buildup of NATO forces along the border of Russia; (2) the American Navy’s game of chicken with the Chinese in the South China Sea; (3) the arming and protection of terrorists to overthrow Syria’s Assad in order for the elites to build a gas pipeline from Qatar through Syria to Europe which Assad opposes; (4) the real possibility of a nuclear WWIII with Russia; and (5) the complete looting and ransacking of America by the corporations and the elite.  Are the protestors aware of the above issues?  I doubt it.  Will Trump change any of these issues for the better?  Who knows, but Hillary certainly would not.

The individuals decrying the Trump election are mostly extreme liberal adults immersed in Mystery, Babylon along with the immoral snowflakes, who are most likely their children.  It would be my estimation (no actual proof) that Trump was elected by moderate older adults and small town people who became worn out with the liberal annihilation of the country and the world.  A vote for Hillary would be a sure continuation of the destruction of:  the economy; the morals; the continuation and addition of wars, and possibly the world with a nuclear exchange.  Keep in mind there are other nuclear powers other than the USA, Russia, and China.  Include, Pakistan, India, Israel, England, France, and who knows what others are out there.  It has been said that Hillary was financed by nine of the ten USA weapons producers.  They desire war as a money maker.

The protesters appear to be foul-mouthed, sexually immoral, liars, and cheaters.  They do not work, don’t know how to work, and refuse to work unless paid with an exorbitant salary with work hours and work level at their choosing.  They are basically worthless and will probably live with their liberal parents until the parents die.

Now, for an opportunity to preach concerning the laws of God and the teachings of Jesus Christ.  The so-called “left” or the liberal side of politics and leadership has been in command of the laws and moral principles of the United States for many years.  Regardless of a person’s knowledge, thoughts, or attitudes the Bible / scripture / the Gospel / the teachings of the New Testament is against certain actions and attitudes including but not limited to:  sexual immorality; adultery; fornication; whoring; nudity; homosexuality; lesbianism; rape; anal intercourse; aborting embryos and babies; lying; stealing; cheating; murder; destruction of property; war; and genocide. 

What is the Remedy
The reader may be an atheist, agnostic, deist, or a self-described Christian and you may disagree with the above list of Biblical wrong actions but they may become a reality sooner than you might believe, think, or hope.

Scripture reveals that God specifically called Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon and allowed him to conquer Judah and destroy the temple.  Isaiah reveals that God called Cyrus as a type of messiah to conquer Babylon and allow the Judahites to return to Judah to allow for the birth of Jesus Christ in the land of Judah.  The old “kings of the East” i.e. Media and Persia under the reign of Cyrus, conquered Babylon with only one death recorded.  The new “kings of the East” i.e. Russia and China will spiritually cross the symbolically dried up Euphrates River to conquer and end Mystery, Babylon, hopefully with few deaths. 

A few people have considered Donald Trump as a type of Cyrus, called by God, to begin the transition to a more moral world, although he is not considered necessarily a moral person.  You can agree, disagree, consider it, or ponder it.  Trump should, at least, avoid a nuclear war and clear up the mess in Syria. 

It has been considered by a group of Christian overcomers, led in part by Stephen Jones, the gathering together (or harpazo, so-called rapture) will occur within a few years.  According to their time era and Sabbath studies, the length of rulership came to a completion for the earth beast (mystery, Babylon) around the year 2017.  The end-time events will not occur as envisioned by the “dispensational, pre-tribulation rapture” which is projected by the Tim LaHaye Left Behind books and movies.  The Revelation is a symbolic historical document which turns to realtime at the Mystery Babylon section.

The calling forth of the dead overcomers (the elect) along with those now living should happen before much time has passed.  Expect the downfall of Mystery, Babylon and the possible destruction of Jerusalem within a short period of time (a few years perhaps).

The dead and living overcomers will begin to exert judicious rule over parts of the earth which will eventually spread to the entire world over a period of time.  This will occur in a fashion as prophesied by Daniel 2 where the stone smashed the feet and toes of the statue and “became a great mountain” covering the earth.

The non-threatening rule of the overcomers (elect) will correct the immoral acts listed above:  sexual immorality; adultery; fornication; whoring; nudity; homosexuality; lesbianism; rape; anal intercourse (sodomy); aborting embryos and babies; lying; stealing; cheating; murder; destruction of property; war; genocide.  The snowflakes and other liberals will not be able to protest because the Kingdom of God will be beginning to cover the earth.

Below, is an article relating the issues and demands of various snowflake college’ students.  Note that many of the demands are related to increased minority rights and free handouts such as free college and dental care.

College Students Think They May Die Because Trump Got Elected President by Peter Hasson from “The Daily Caller”

College students participating in a nationwide walkout against President-elect Donald Trump and “this white supremacist, this rapist, this xenophobic, Islamophobic, classist, misogynistic, queerphobic, and racist system” seem to think that the majority of college students’ lives are in danger now that Trump has been elected president.

Students at 37 colleges and universities have committed to a walk-out that will take place at 3 pm ET, according to an online document being used to organize the “#OurCampus #SanctuaryCampus” walkout.

“We reject this white supremacist, this rapist, this xenophobic, Islamophobic, classist, misogynistic, queerphobic, and racist system to have authority over our lives. Trump is a symbol for larger structures of oppression that gave birth to him,” reads a section of the document titled “message.”

“The University must place the safety of its students first and foremost. Most of a University’s population now have their lives at risk. The University must protect us with every power it has available,” it continues.

The document includes a list of “possible demands” for students to make of their universities, like providing money “to students to complete the cost of their travels and resources to join Standing Rock Sioux Water Protectors fighting against the construction of [the Dakota Access Pipeline].”

The students “stand as an anti-white supremacist, anti-sexist, pro-immigration, anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist, and anti-militarization front. This will be the start to organizations we will create, to sustainably maintain resistance after this day, week, month, and year is over,” according to the organizers.

Students at Brown University, Dartmouth University, George Washington University and dozens of others have committed to the protest.

Brown students published a list of “demands” in accordance with their walkout that repeats the unsupported claim that “Most of our University’s population now have their lives at risk.”

Among other things, the students “Demand” that the university “dramatically increase the funding of the Brown Muslim Student Center,” “Increase its acceptance of Muslim international students,” “increase its acceptance of Palestinian international students” and “increase its acceptance of Syrian refugees.”

Another demand is “that the dental discount for students covered by Brown health insurance be expanded to full coverage.”

It’s unclear how this “demand” relates to fighting “this white supremacist, this rapist, this xenophobic, Islamophobic, classist, misogynistic, homophobic, transphobic, and racist system.”

Another “demand” states that “The University must refuse all voluntary information sharing with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)/Customs Border Protection (CBP) across all aspects of the University to the fullest extent possible under the law.”

“The University must increase the percentage of domestic Black students to at least match the domestic Black population in the United States. We expect Black students to comprise a minimum of 13% of the Brown’s domestic undergraduate student population,” reads another “demand.”

Many of the Brown student’s “demands” appear to be copied verbatim from the list of “Possible demands” suggested by the nationwide organizers.

The Establishment of the Kingdom of God



THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD

Some Facts, Data, and Information have been borrowed from several papers written by Dr. Stephen Jones of “The New Kingdom Order” website.

Nebuchadnezzar’s Dream and Interpretation
The last section of Nebuchadnezzar’s dream and Daniel’s interpretation within chapter 2 envisions the Millennial reign of Jesus Christ and the initiation of the Kingdom of God.  The four beast kingdoms will not be discussed at this time since they have already occurred and are past history, i.e. Babylon; Medo-Persia; Greece; Rome.  The world is currently under the reign of the “little horn” (extension of the Roman Empire) along with the beast from the earth which has been a secret but is not slowly being revealed.  Thus the name of the 2nd beast (or earth beast) is Mystery, Babylon but soon all the secrets or mysteries will be made known to the amazement of the majority of the world.

Daniel 2:34-35 NET  You were watching as a stone was cut out, but not by human hands. It struck the statue on its iron and clay feet, breaking them in pieces.  (35)  Then the iron, clay, bronze, silver, and gold were broken in pieces without distinction and became like chaff from the summer threshing floors that the wind carries away. Not a trace of them could be found. But the stone that struck the statue became a large mountain that filled the entire earth.

Daniel 2:44-45 NET  In the days of those kings the God of heaven will raise up an everlasting kingdom that will not be destroyed and a kingdom that will not be left to another people. It will break in pieces and bring about the demise of all these kingdoms. But it will stand forever.  (45)  You saw that a stone was cut from a mountain, but not by human hands; it smashed the iron, bronze, clay, silver, and gold into pieces. The great God has made known to the king what will occur in the future. The dream is certain, and its interpretation is reliable."

The everlasting kingdom will begin with the Millennial reign of Jesus Christ with judges, priests, and administrators consisting of the first resurrection overcomers or the elect.  The Kingdom of God will not suddenly and immediately envelope the entire earth but will be accomplished over a period of one thousand years.  The stone “became a large mountain that filled the entire earth.”  It has been said that the word translated as “patience or endurance” in Revelation 14:12 is almost impossible to translate to English.  A possible translation could be “to gain more and more area or territory”. 

A Millennial Understanding of Jesus
After the great faith of the Centurion is revealed, Christ briefly related the plan of spreading the kingdom during the Millennium.  Many, from all over the world, will come to learn the ways of God but some who oppose His rule and are not willing to learn, repent, or obey will be “thrown into the outer darkness”.

Matthew 8:11-12 NET  I tell you, many will come from the east and west to share the banquet with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven,  (12)  but the sons of the kingdom will be thrown out into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."

The outer darkness is not hell, Hades, or imprisonment in a dark place, but a contrast with the Kingdom of God or the Kingdom of Light.  The nations can only enter the New Jerusalem as believers seeking the light and knowledge of the law and ways of God, otherwise they will be outside the light of God.

Isaiah 2:3 NET  All the nations will stream to it, many peoples will come and say, "Come, let us go up to the LORD's mountain, to the temple (figurative) of the God of Jacob, so he can teach us his requirements, and we can follow his standards." For Zion (figurative) will be the center for moral instruction; the LORD will issue edicts from Jerusalem (figurative).

Growth of the Kingdom
The stone grows to cover the earth, encompass all nations, and incorporates all people as citizens of the Kingdom of God.

Even at the end of the Millennium, the Kingdom of God has not filled the entire earth.  Satan will be briefly set loose and he will deceive “the nations which are in the four corners of the earth”.

Revelation 20:7-9 NET  Now when the thousand years are finished, Satan will be released from his prison  (8)  and will go out to deceive the nations at the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to bring them together for the battle. They are as numerous as the grains of sand in the sea.  (9)  They went up on the broad plain of the earth and encircled the camp of the saints and the beloved city, but fire came down from heaven and devoured them completely.

Not everyone will come to salvation until after the White Throne Judgment which occurs at the end of the Millennium.  At that time all will be resurrected where many will be brought to trial and judged.  The time periods are unknown but their judgmental internment may last as long as another thousand years.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                
New Heaven, New Earth
At some point in the future, there will be a new heaven and a new earth.  It may occur at the end of the first thousand years called the Millennium in scripture, or it may happen at some later time.  There is no actual scriptural proof that I am aware of, but is has been conceived by some there will be several millennial periods until at least the fiftieth or Sabbath millennium.

Revelation 21:1 NET  Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and earth had ceased to exist, and the sea existed no more.

The word “new” in most versions does not actually mean the current planet will be completely annihilated and a brand new one will then be created, however it could be a possible but unreasonable definition.

The most likely meaning would be “fresh” or possibly “unworn” which could be defined as redone as in the appearance of the original creation.

Thayer Definition:
1) new
1a) as respects form
1a1) recently made, fresh, recent, unused, unworn
1b) as respects substance
1b1) of a new kind, unprecedented, novel, uncommon, unheard of

The “new earth” may also witness the fulfillment of Isaiah 11:6-8 where the wolf dwells with the lamb.  This situation most likely will not happen during the so-called Millennium, but could happen during the 2nd thousand years.

Isaiah 11:6-8 KJV  The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.  (7)  And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.  (8)  And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den.
