Trump 2

Well, whaddya know. Amid the tears, sobs, screams, emotional breakdowns, hissy fits, lame excuses, moronic rationalizations, and furious backpedaling of the Democrats and all their deluded, left-wing liberal cohorts and their obedient lapdogs in the mainstream media, Donald John Trump is going to be the President of the United States. Again.

Surprise! It's Trump 2.

In this article, I want to share some thoughts about how Trump's election to a second term might impact not just the state of our country, but also the sequence of events that God's Word tells us will transpire in the end times. I'm not necessarily out to prove a lot of things to you—I just want to share some thoughts and observations about Trump and his recent win in the 2024 election, and speculate a bit as to how things might play out with Trump back in the White House. And in the process get a few things off my chest.

 A Blast From the Past: 

Have Yourself a Merry Little...Xmas?

As a teacher of adult English in Taiwan, I routinely get asked all sorts of off-the-wall questions by my students, many about things I never thought about before until someone actually asked. And I certainly don't mean that as a complaint—in fact, it's one of the true joys of teaching English.

I especially enjoy it, however, when I get asked questions about religious holidays such as Christmas or Easter because it gives me a gift-wrapped opportunity to steer the conversation toward my favorite subject: the gospel.

One Christmas-related question I have been asked several times concerns the word Xmas, a common abbreviation for Christmas used by many people throughout the world. Students are generally just curious about what it signifies, how it came about, and why it's used in place of the word Christmas.

12/17/2024 — From the "Happy Hanukkah" Department...

According to recent reports, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has stated that a ceasefire-hostage deal to end the conflict between Israel and Hamas and win the release of the remaining hostages that were taken on October 7, 2023 could be struck within a matter of weeks...possibly by the upcoming celebration of Hanukkah (Dec. 25–Jan. 2).

One of the key sticking points has been the number of hostages to be released within the "humanitarian" category, with Hamas low-balling Israel in this regard. Netanyahu spoke on the phone with President-elect Trump recently, and stressed the need for the U.S. to pressure Hamas to release a much higher number of hostages in this category—and there is optimism among Israeli leaders that a deal can in fact be reached.

Israel believes that of the 251 hostages originally taken, 96 remain. Of those 96, 34 are confirmed dead by the IDF, leaving 62 who may still be released alive should a deal be reached.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Hamas recently capitulated to an Israeli demand that the IDF remain in Gaza temporarily under such a deal. This is a ray of hope for Israel, since Hamas had previously refused to release any more hostages unless and until Israel agrees to completely end their hostilities toward Hamas and withdraw completely from Gaza.

In related news, Israel has carried out waves of airstrikes on positions in Syria that have eliminated about 80 percent of the Assad regime's military assets. This has many in Israel breathing a sigh of relief, since there has been understandable concern that such assets could fall into the wrong hands amid the current chaos in Syria.

And Israelis spell "wrong hands" as "Islamist, jihadist-led rebel forces."

It is clear that things are changing rapidly in the Middle East, and so we have to be on our toes to keep up with developments. As Netanyahu said recently:

"(Israel is) changing the Middle East. Syria is not the same Syria, Lebanon is not the same Lebanon, Gaza is not the same Gaza, and the leader of the axis—Iran—is not the same Iran."

But one thing that hasn't changed is God's prophetic Word. As I keep saying: The same prophetic milestones are in our future. We may not know the exact route God will take to connect them, but they haven't changed one iota.

Now that I think about it, perhaps it's a bit ironic that the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah begins on Christmas Day this year, the day on which Christians the world over have long celebrated the birth of our Lord, our Savior, and our soon coming King. It goes without saying that a deal that releases the remaining Israeli hostages from their captivity would certainly make for a Happy Hanukkah for Israel.

And the sound of a trumpet that releases all born-again believers from our "captivity" in this sin-infested world would certainly make for a Merry Christmas for us.
