The Case for a Trump Comeback: A Christian Perspective

I voted early today! In Florida, we have early voting going on now for the United States Presidential Election; and yes, I voted for Trump! Maybe I should be a little more descriptive: I happily voted for Trump! Some people may wonder, why would I do a thing like that? I voted for Trump because his vision for America most closely aligns with the biblical principles and God-given freedoms that I believe in. "Righteousness exalteth a nation, but sin is a reproach to the people thereof" (Prov. 14:34).

After I voted, I thought about how people voted in Bible times. In the New Testament sense, the idea of voting is described as throwing or casting a pebble in favor of something or someone (see Acts 26:10; Rev. 2:17). For example, before the Apostle Paul's conversion, he voted to persecute Christians (Acts 26:9-10; 1 Cor. 15:9-10). The vote could be for anything, either bad or good, depending on the context.

Now I'd like to talk about the main point of this post, which is why I believe that Donald Trump will be re-elected President of the United States. The reason why is highlighted in the video below: Trump exalted Jesus Christ! Trump said, "I'm not the most famous, Jesus is!" In contrast to this, I've been told about what happened to John Lennon the day after he said in regards to the Beatles, something to the effect that: "We're more popular than Jesus now." Let's just say it wasn't good! Donald Trump didn't make that mistake; Trump exalted Jesus Christ. Trump gave all glory and honor to God. In the words of John the Baptist, whom Jesus said was the greatest prophet born of a woman up to that time: "He [Jesus] must increase, but I must decrease" (Jn 3:30). So we have John Lennon saying one thing, and John the Baptist saying another. The world's prophet vs. God's prophet. Quite a contrast! Lennon was voicing the spirit of anti-christ; John the Baptist of Christ. And the Scripture that always comes to mind when I recall Trump's statement exalting Jesus Christ, is when God says: "Those who honor Me, I will honor" (1 Samuel 2:30). And that's why I believe that Trump will be re-elected President of the United States: because God honors those who honor Him, and because "the Most High is ruler over the realm of mankind, and bestows it on whom He wishes" (Dan. 4:17).
