The Headline Reads – Rejoice: Rapture Almost Here
So, with the rapture almost here, do you have your affairs in order? Have you sold all your belongings, given to the poor, and gathered together your women, children, and families? Are you looking up in anticipation? If not, I have proof positive from the King James version of the Bible that the rapture is indeed almost here. What? You want me to prove it?!
Ok. It’s simple. Check out this passage in Paul’s 1st letter to the Corinthians. In it he mentions the current “presumptive Republican candidate” for U.S. president by name. Paul says “at the last Trump” Christians will be caught up in the air in the twinkling of an eye. I can’t imagine there being another Trump of any significance in our history, so “the Donald” must surely be the last. I mean, c’mon…this is so blatantly obvious. Isn’t it? Can’t we all simply read between the lines and acknowledge what we’re being told?
Hopefully, you quickly caught on to my tongue-in-cheek editorial or Biblical exposition. But I have a serious reason for bringing up the topic this way. I’m seeing lots of Christians saying how they’ll vote for Donald Trump for president.
They have reasons like…
- He’s the frontrunner
- He’s the only Republican who has a chance
- He wants to make America great again
- He puts Americans first
- He’s better than Hillary
There are other reasons, but those pop up more than most. But they’re all horrible reasons…especially if you’re a Christian. And if you’re a Christian, and you can justify voting for Donald Trump, you simply don’t care what God thinks about it. Pure and simple. I’ll repeat that…you just don’t care what God thinks about it.
Let me address each of those reasons.
Frontrunner? Weak reason with no reason.
Only Republican who has a chance? Hmm…you mean party trumps (pun intended) principle.
Make America great again? How? By standing firm on economic issues while compromising life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness?
Puts Americans first? Except the tiniest Americans who can’t defend themselves.
Better than Hillary? No. He could be worse. Hillary boldly states her despicable ideas. Donald claims conservative principles while supporting a variety of despicable ideas. A wolf in sheep’s clothing is always worse than a real wolf.
I wish Christians would simply read God’s word.
And understand what He expects from believers. Ask yourself if Jesus would recommend a candidate who compromises on (and even financially supports) the killing of unborn children. And please, please, please don’t say God puts people in positions of power. Or that God has this all planned out and we can’t fully understand because His ways are higher than ours. Please don’t espouse that nonsense where the unbelieving world can hear it. They already think we’re wacky. Don’t give ’em reason to feel justified.
God doesn’t do evil that good may come of it. And He tells us not to either. All of this confusion is a big reason why my headline reads -Rapture Almost Here. What do you think? Have I given you reason enough to reconsider? Bottom line: Christians, don’t vote for Trump.
