The powers that be that seem to be aligning against the US president.

It would almost seem to make sense that a leader like that would be in the US at the time of the Rapture. Not that this is the case, but who really knows, could be, since the Rapture is due any time now. Almost like the mercy of the Lord. Some issues like pro life and other Christian values have been elevated again, after a long period of anti bible values being pushed from the top there.
If by some chance Trump were the
Rapture President it makes sense that his rule would be quite temporary, and somewhat limited. (Because the evil powers will soon rule here in the end we are told . including a global government). Nevertheless, it is amazing that the government leaders at this moment anyhow, seem to be more on God's people's side than in the camp of the enemy of our souls.
Imagine a US and world where most of the government and people of the US were suddenly gone!
You could be correct, but I highly doubt it. Here is why. For 2,000 yrs Christians have used EVERY thing possible, to prove the "Rapture" was near*. Even more, it is obvious that if one studies the disciples and Paul, that they too believed Jesus would return in their OWN life times. Of course He did not. So millions since have believed and prophesied that Jesus' "return" was near, but none of them have come to fruition. The disciples and all since were/are duped by one verse:
Matthew 24:34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
The word "this generation" was projected to be in the future by Jesus; as though He was talking in past tense; even though He was speaking in present tense. This is a common malady in language, sadly. Remember the entire Chapter 24 of Mathew was about the END times. NOT present happenings. Please keep that in mind
* Also, the word "Rapture" does not appear in the bible. But it is a nice word to represent Jesus' "calling up" of the saints; which He will do. Actually it should be interpreted, "Calling up". IE:
1 Corinthians 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump(et): for the (last) trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and (we that are alive) shall be changed (be saved also).
1 Thessalonians 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the (last) trump(et) of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 1 Thessalonians 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Revelation 20:6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign (be) with him a thousand years (earthly time; heavenly time is one day-waiting for the lost to be resurrected so we both face judgment-then the saints are pardoned-the lost go to hell).
Notice that Jesus does NOT come back to earth (as most believe). He simply comes down from Heaven and we meet Him IN the air. In other words, He descends down and we (the dead saints and the living saints) ascend up to meet him in the sky.
Sadly, MOST Christians and pastors have espoused that Jesus is coming back to this earth and He will set up His Kingdom here. This is a satan led myth that all too many have bought into. It is false doctrine.
It is like saying to someone, "I will come and get you and take you back with me". That is what Jesus meant in ALL verses that are used to represent the "rapture". Believe it or not.
Also, current events NEVER determine this miracle of miracles episode. We know this because He said, "When you think NOT..........". This means NO one will know "the day or the hour". Rather: ALL will be surprised. There will be shock and awe worldwide by both the saved and the unsaved, when He calls us up. First the dead then the living. By this time, ALL will have give up hope so to speak.
Matthew 24:44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh (to get us).
In any case, May Jesus richly bless you and yours always.
