Just shows that CC's are nuts!!!

They believe President Trump’s Middle East policies will cause the second coming of Jesus.

Evangelical Christians hold varied interpretations of events that will usher in the second coming of Jesus and equally varied thoughts on what part the United States might play in its unfolding.

Generation after generation has believed that it is witnessing the End Times -- and today's evangelicals are no different.

In their support for President Donald Trump, there is a keen awareness that his policies could draw nigh the end of times and facilitate Jesus's return, and there is no need for Trump to be 'one of them' if God intends to use him.

Pastor Paul Prather explains:

“For American evangelicals, there is a term of praise for President Trump that falls like a question mark on most everyone else: ‘You are Cyrus,’” writes Samuel Goldman in a recent New York Times op-ed. “That’s what the Christian pro-Israel activist Mike Evans promised to tell President Trump after his announcement that the United States would move its embassy to Jerusalem.”
...

He says top evangelicals — circles in which I decidedly do not travel —support Trump because they believe him to be the 21st century embodiment of the Old Testament monarch Cyrus.

In their minds, Trump’s willingness to go against the grain means he can support biblical mandates and even fulfill biblical prophecies that may usher in the second coming of Jesus Christ.

In the Old Testament, the Persian king Cyrus allowed the Jews to return from exile and rebuild their temple in Jerusalem, thereby proving that God can work His divine plan through ungodly men.

And some evangelicals appear to hold Trump in the same light.

For them, Trump’s appointment of conservative Justice Neil Gorsuch to the U.S. Supreme Court, for instance, and his startling, controversial decision on the U.S. embassy, fits the Cyrus bill perfectly.
...

Many evangelicals expect Jerusalem to become the center of the world’s attention during the period leading up to Jesus’ return. Some say the Jewish temple will eventually be reconstructed there. Some say a cataclysmic world will may erupt in the process.

But Trump is not the first to be viewed as Cyrus, nor is he likely to be the last:

In the 1790s, a New Jersey minister imagined President John Adams as a potential Cyrus.

In the 1890s, it was President Benjamin Harrison. More than 400 prominent citizens, including a Supreme Court justice, a future president, and tycoons J. P. Morgan and John D. Rockefeller, beseeched Harrison to carve Palestine from the Ottoman Empire and give it to the Jews. Their petition’s cover letter explicitly compared Harrison to Cyrus.

In 1953, President Harry Truman did them one better. Introduced as the man who had helped create the state of Israel, Truman replied, “What do you mean, ‘helped create’? I am Cyrus!”

Maybe if you got one of those disk that read the Bible you might understand history. Maybe if you had someone read you the Constitution you would see what this country was founded on. Then you could head out to your Communist utopia with your 'just cause' bs.

Why don't you STFU! You never fail to show your GROSS ignorance and hatred of Christianity and Christians.

The trolls are running out of topics. No Russian Collusion. No one believes or cares about Horny Daniels. McCabe probably going to jail. Trumps approval up and to top it off Comeys interview by George Clintonoppolous was rated a huge flop.

Why read the bible when I could read a fine article like this. And did you miss the point that evangelical cons think Jesus is coming back! Do you not see the psychosis or it doesn't matter so long as you are in power. Sick, sick, sick....

PeterS

Why don't I shut up? Now I assume your ignorance and hatred doesn't matter. All I did was post an article and all you can do is attack me instead! What the article shows is the general psychosis that runs through out you CC's and since you are attacking me then I assume the article is correct!!!

That is why you always assume, you assume everyone is as ignorant as you yourself.

PeterS

You should be happy. Besides I never took you to be religious so just read the article and enjoy it; I did and found it incredibly entertaining...

PeterS

Because I read the ignorant reply's you guys make. You can never attack the article--which tells me the article is either a threat or you are just too ignorant to understand what it means...

christ said he will come as a thief in the night keep watch
These people are getting nuttier by the day but the fact that their abandoning all their morals might help but they will have to answer for that!

PeterS

That might be a good way to get some sleep. Thanks, I'll give it a try. And why don't you tell me what the country was founded on--because I have read the Constitution, many times, and I'll bet my interpretation is nothing close to yours...

PeterS

Well if he will take them away the country certainly will be much better...

I am happy. I’m also one of those terrible Evangelicals and I got a kick out of this ridiculous article. The only thing in this article I relate to at all is Jesus will come again. I’m not worried about you or anyone else cleaning up there “act” until I can at least clean up my own. Admit it; you posted this to bait conservative Christians. Not because you find it interesting. You’re not near as clever as you think troll.

Damn....and here I thought Evangelicals thought Trump was the 2nd coming of Jesus. Hard to tell sometimes with the cult of Trump.
