I'll take a hug whether I need it or not 
You can lay your treasure in heaven, or lay it here on this world. But every treasure you store here is one you won't have in heaven.
And please don't conflate a difference of opinion with bitterness.

Interesting as antichrist cannot ascend until it fits the time and purpose of Jehovah God. I do not see antichrist ruling over Christians but antichrist will have power during the tribulation. Just another reason that I support a pre-trib departure of the church. The church cannot be deceived by the antichrist. Apostate Israel will be ripe for the deception.

Well I understand but I am also reminded that it is the goodness of God that leads men to repentance.
Don't lose confidence in the word of God to accomplish that to which God purposes it.
I need to remind myself that the sword of Gods word is best used to divide and not to bludgeon. The Holy Spirit is far more adept at wielding this great authority than me.
Heb 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
You know as well as I that logic cannot begin to accomplish what Gods word is able to do. All we need to do is to trust it and not rely on our own devices.

Sounds like you're basing that off of observations of one man or political factors.....how you worship the Lord can be very different from how I worship the Lord. We know the Lord works in mysterious ways, and his ways are not our own.
If you're following Christ, can't ANYONE, no man or woman take that away or question that, and if they do, the bible teaches they too will have their day for persecuting you for following Christ
And here I am elated. Trump checks off just about every box for me. I did not say all of them..
He is a New York City business man.
He was raised in a place and time I am intimately familiar with.
I know his mentality well, and indeed I am very familiar with many of the phrases he uses, him being between my age and my dads; I heard the same stuff growing up.
He is pro American.
He is not PC at all.
He understand the importance of the economy and the military.
He does not lie.
He is not politically or financially beholden to anyone.
He is PRO LIFE !!
I think he may be the last hurrah before the dim reality of what the bible describes of where we know this world is heading rears its ugly head again. But I ill take the respite. Who knows. if we continue to support him and pray for him and do the same for more politicians like him we may be able to pout things off for a good long time.
Praise God.

One of the behaviors that the Lord hated the children of Israel doing the most was complaining. Virtually EVERYONE in America, (yes I'm sure there are miniscule exceptions) is in the Global 5% of wealthiest citizens of the planet, and HUGE majority of Americans are in the Global 1% of wealthiest.
What is somebody's idea of "middle class"? Ask someone in Haiti and they will tell you EVERYONE on the OTHER side of Hispaniola, The Dominican Republic is middle class compared to themselves. Now I haven't been to Haiti, but I know those who have. I have been to The Dominican Republic and I can tell you that most of the Pop live in what we would consider true abject poverty. NOT "American" poverty.
I'm betting most here qualify for being in the 1% of wealthiest people in the World.
Ranking by Income
According to the Global Rich List, a website that brings awareness to worldwide income disparities, an income of $32,400 a year will allow you to make the 1% cut. $32,400 amounts to roughly:

The percentage of global wealth owned by the top 1% surpassed 50% as of 2016.
And what has allowed America to be as prosperous as it is? (yes. I know ultimately it is the Lord)
CAPITALISM!!!!! Governed by our Constitution. I know there is a huge indoctrination effort to put in place the exact failure that has plagued most of the rest of the modern World, that has led to such awful misery. SOCIALISM!! Under the guise of many noble sounding names like "income inequality" and "Social Justice".
DON'T fall for it people! Don't be jealous and covet what others have. Look to the incredible blessings the Lord has given YOU!
