Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat
it – George Santayana.
Hitler promised the Germans that he would make Germany
great again. He did do that; great and powerful, but at the expense of millions
of lives. Hitler was a dictator. People are forced to obey dictators. Any
opposition to dictators is quickly squashed. During Hitler’s reign no one could
say anything bad about him without being severely punished, they even wanted to
know about private conversations of people talking about Hitler. With dictators, the only law of the land is the law of the dictator. Putin is a
dictator. He has said that the only law in Russia is Putin’s law.
President Donald Trump is a dictator wannabe. Anyone can
see that. You just have to open your eyes to the things he says and does. During the presidential debates he made the
comment that he sees nothing wrong using torture on people. He praises
dictators because he likes the control they have over their people. After
meeting with Kim Jung Un, Trump said this about Kim on a Fox News interview,
“He’s the head of a country, and I mean he’s the strong head. Don’t let anyone
think different. He speaks and his people sit up at attention. I want my people
to do the same.” He likes and wants to be praised. After he was elected
president, right away he started campaigning for his 2020 presidency. I watched
one of them. It was a big production of him flying in on Air Force One, the
door of the plane opened and Trump descended the stairs, and as he walked to
the stage to speak, they played “The Battle Hymn of The Republic” and the words
sang out, “Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord” (lord
Trump.) He has double standards for law enforcement; severe punishment for
those he doesn’t like because they speak out against him and leniency for those
he likes, even though they have broken the law and have been convicted in
court. He calls most all news agencies “enemies of the people” because they say
things he does not like. He wants loyalty from those close to him and confidentiality
agreements to be signed by those who work for him. There is much more I could
say about him to show that he envies dictators and desires to be like them and
I believe he is working towards that end with Putin’s help.
We are living in dangerous times. All our US national
security teams agree that Putin and his people worked in our 2016 election to
help get Trump elected. Putin has said out right that he wanted Trump to be
elected. There are no other Americans in the room when Trump and Putin gets together to talk, usually for multiple hours at a time, so we do not know what they talk
about. If Trump succeeds to kill our constitution then there will no longer be
anything in place to prevent him from becoming a dictator. If this happens, I foresee
that Putin will eventually own the United States of America. Dictators can take
control of another dictator’s domain simply by throwing out bigger and better
bones to the other dictator’s people or infiltrating that dictator’s domain
with his own people. If this happens, Putin can control the world.
I’ve painted a pretty bleak picture, I know, but I believe
there is hope for all who will be alive during this time, those who will keep
on believing and trusting God the Father and in Yeshua Jesus. All through the New
Testament of the Bible there are words of encouragement to persist in believing
during the troubling times and you will be blessed. It is another way
of telling us that if we continue believing even though it may appear that
there is no God, no hope, we will be glad that we did, we continued.
The book of
Revelation in the Bible is a tough book to understand and I believe God made it
that way for a reason. It is so that even Satan cannot understand. Satan uses
things about God all the time to deceive us. When he tempted Adam and Eve (Genesis
3), he said, “surely you wont die if you eat the fruit. Your eyes will be
opened and you will be like God.” When he tempted our Lord Jesus (Matthew4:1-10) he tried to get Jesus to question who He was/is, he used scripture,
and lastly, he offered Jesus earth if He would just bow down and worship him
(Satan).
Matthew 4:8-10 Lexham English Bible (LEB)
8 Again the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory, 9 and he said to him, “I will give to you all these things, if you will fall down and[a] worship me.” 10 Then Jesus said to him, “Go away, Satan, for it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God and serve only him.’”[b]
In Revelation 20:8-9 it tells that God Himself will act on
behalf of His people.
Revelation20:8-9 Lexham English Bible (LEB)
8 and he (Satan) will go out
to deceive the nations that are at the
four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to assemble them for battle, whose number[a]
is like the sand of the sea. 9 And they went up on the broad plain of the
earth and surrounded the fortified camp of the saints and the beloved city, and
fire came down from heaven and consumed them.
