Trump is a sign of the New Testament Resurrection
We update studies as the Lord Jesus leads us. You can find the latest update of this study at ChurchAges.net
The Old Testament Paradise was in the sides of the Pit
David was a champion of God, but he knew he would end up in the Pit, in the shadow of Death.
The Pit was the realm of Death, ruled by Satan.
Psalms 88:4 “I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength:”
We have no strength when Death comes for us.
When we have to answer that summons to the silent shore.
PSALMS 23:4 “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.”
Faith in the Scriptures was the only rod of correction and staff of support that could comfort a person in that strange new dimension.
In the Old Testament, believers died and went to Paradise which was higher up in the sides of the Pit.
Prison was lower down in the sides of the Pit for unbelievers who died.
EZEKIEL 32:23 “Whose graves are set in the sides of the pit,”
Jesus died and carried our sins down to Hell where he defeated Satan in the lowest part of the Pit, and took the keys of Death and Hell.
He ascended up to Prison and preached to the totally lost who had laughed at Noah.
There are no second chances after death. You must repent of your sins before you die.
Then He ascended up to Paradise where they had been prewarned of His Coming by the thief who repented just before the thief died.
A thief entered Paradise to announce that Jesus was Coming.
Jesus chooses differently from what we do.
Jesus emptied out Paradise and took captivity captive.
The Old Testament saints were resurrected up onto the earth just after His resurrection.
MATTHEW 27:53 “And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.”
They appeared to many in Jerusalem and then ascended up to Heaven with Him, looking like a cloud. A cloud of witnesses who had faithfully served God during their earthly lives.
EPHESIANS 4:8 “Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.”
ACTS 1:9 “And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.”
HEBREWS 12:1 “Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,”
The blood of Jesus forms a scarlet cord that is a safety line, from earth over the pit of hell, that carries believers to Heaven when they die.
ZECHARIAH 9:11 “As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water.”
Sadly, unbelievers still go to Prison after death.
The old Paradise is now empty. There is a better Paradise in Heaven.
The two exceptions were Moses and Elijah.
Elijah needed a supernatural chariot and horses as well as a whirlwind to lift him up to Heaven. Plus, other horsemen to act as guides to show him the way.
You cannot get into Heaven by your own efforts, however good they are.
Elisha cried out when Elijah ascended.
2 KINGS 2:12 “And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof.
2 Kings 2:1 “And it came to pass, when the LORD would take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.”
Moses was a special case.
He died, and Michael the Archangel had to make a special trip to Satan’s realm of death to rescue his body so Moses could also go to Heaven.
Jesus had not yet conquered Satan, so Satan ruled Death in those days.
JUDE 1:9 “Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.”
Jesus wanted Elijah and Moses with Him on the Mount of Transfiguration.
They symbolized the resurrection at the end of the 2000 years of church ages. Moses represented the future resurrected saints from the 7 church ages. Elijah represents the living Bride at the end whose bodies will be changed as they are caught up to meet the Lord in the air. Often called the Rapture.
But Moses and Elijah have a double purpose.
They also represent the two prophets who will guide the 144000 Jews through great tribulation to meet Messiah, after the church has been caught up to Heaven.
President Trump is a sign of the times that the resurrection is close.
The word “trump” appears twice in the King James Bible, both times linked to the resurrection of the New Testament church.
1 CORINTHIANS 15:52“In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.”
Trump does not mean trumpet as both words are used in the same sentence.
“Last trump” is significant as he is in his second and last term of office.
1 THESSALONIANS 4:16 “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:”
The mass media hates and rejects Trump.
Since the Second World War, the churches tended to reject the King James Bible which mentions “trump”.
The modern Bible translations tend to eliminate the word “trump”.
How far the churches have strayed from the path, that they now obliterate the path.
But President Trump bravely declared Jerusalem the Capital of Israel.
Presidents Clinton, Bush, and Obama never had the courage to do that. They were all too scared of upsetting the Muslim hordes.
JerUSAlem.
3000 years ago, God intended the as yet non-existent USA to be at the centre of His plans to protect Jerusalem and Israel.
Moses and Elijah on Mount Transfiguration also represented God’s Plan with Israel.
When the true church is caught up to Heaven, then two prophets, Moses and Elijah, will guide the 144000 Jews through the horror of great tribulation for 3.5 years to meet Messiah in Jerusalem.
That is why America destroyed Iran’s nuclear facilities.
The bombs did not have to directly hit the targets. They caused massive underground explosions which set up earthquakes in the confined space. Those dangerous vibrations and seismic shock waves would shake all the precision instruments to pieces.
God cannot allow an atomic bomb to fall on Jerusalem and turn the city into a radioactive ruin.
“The trump of God” is doing his God-given job. Looking after and protecting Israel.
In 45 years, Trump was the only President who dared to oppose the Muslims and put Iran in its place. Iran must never be allowed to have an atomic bomb.
The world hates the Jews, but Jerusalem is where Messiah will meet the 144000 Jews.
Jerusalem and the 144000 Jews will somehow survive.
