The Trump election seen through the paradigm of Jesus raising Lazarus, part 2
John 11:27 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world. 28 And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee.
The church is divided by these two types of saints. There are those who are very busy working for the Lord and they were the first to become part of the "stop the steal" rallies. They are active in the pro life movement. They see it as their mission to feed the poor and the homeless and so they were also the first to see the harm from the open border with the drugs and the human trafficking. But in this election they realized they could not win if the 35 million Christians who don't vote stay home. So they told these believers the Lord is calling them.
29 As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and came unto him.
That is the one thing they care about, the Lord's calling. They know His voice and they follow Him wheresoever He goes.
30 Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met him. 31 The Jews then which were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, She goeth unto the grave to weep there.
For the last few months we have been bombarded with constant polls and prognostication about what it means.
32 Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
We have seen this shift in the churches the last month or two where pastors and saints are now actively praying for the nation and for the election.
33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled. 34 And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see.
This has been our prayer that the Lord would come and see the situation in the US.
35 Jesus wept. 36 Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him! 37 And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?
Think of the attitude, there is a finality to their mind with death. Yes, Jesus had raised two others from the dead but those two hadn't been dead for a day, Lazarus has been dead for four days and is already in the tomb. I saw a lot of people with this attitude. After the 2020 election they were rejoicing that Trump had lost and was now gone for good. My response was I found everything that was going on fascinating and couldn't wait to see how it all worked out in the end. They flipped! It is the end! No concept of resurrection.
38 Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it. 39 Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days. 40 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?
Do you realize that is what the saints have been doing the last four years? We have been taking away the stone that is hiding all the corruption. We have been exposing the lies about the pandemic, about the vaccine, about Afghanistan, about the border, about WW3, etc.
41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. 42 And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me. 43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.
This reminds me of the picture of Trump at the RNC with the bandage on his ear.
45 Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him.
So then, this has helped many of the believers to wake up. When I was a high school science teacher I would walk throughout the classroom as the kids were doing an assignment. Some kids in the back of the room were not happy with that and told me I was supposed to be up in the front of the room. I told them this is my room and I will walk wherever I wish. Christians need the same attitude. The world has told them to stay out of politics. The Lord has told us that we are witnesses and are to go throughout the earth, that includes politics.
46 But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done. 47 Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles. 48 If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation.
This is a reference to the globalists. I have seen video of Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton and others breaking down and crying about the outcome of the election. That seemed absurd, why would they do that? You see it even with newscasters who are supposed to have at least a veneer of impartiality. I then realized they understand that with Trump's victory the globalists will remove them from power. They have sold themselves out to the globalists, but if they can't do the job, they'll be replaced. They aren't crying about the US, they are crying about their own status in a world ruled by Satan.
49 And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all, 50 Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.
While everyone is rejoicing over this election and the outcome know that behind the scenes they have decided to destroy the US.
51 And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation; 52 And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.
As a result of what is about to come on the US, the 49% of the world's Jews who live in the US will return to Israel. The church will be raptured and it will be the apostate church that is destroyed and burned.
53 Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put him to death.
Wasn't it strange that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris seemed to disappear for about 12 hours? Obama fled the country. They have taken council, it has been determined to destroy the US.
54 Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews; but went thence unto a country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples. 55 And the Jews' passover was nigh at hand: and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves.
I have always found this expression "the Jews' passover" very strange. Why say "the Jews'" and not just "The Passover"? Perhaps the calendar was messed up and they weren't actually celebrating the Passover at the correct time. But it sounds like this was their holiday and not God's. For example, is Thanksgiving God's holiday or a uniquely US holiday? You could not say that about Christmas which clearly began in Europe and is celebrated around the world. But you could say that about Thanksgiving, it is the US' Thanksgiving. Or you could say "The American's Thanksgiving was nigh at hand".
56 Then sought they for Jesus, and spake among themselves, as they stood in the temple, What think ye, that he will not come to the feast? 57 Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that, if any man knew where he were, he should shew it, that they might take him.
