Some Thoughts On “The Pause” :: By Dave Hubley
Please see the Special Message at the end of this article.
In the 2016 Presidential election, America witnessed a stunning event that began, in my opinion, a series of sobering revelations about our country, our government, and especially the mainstream media.
I believe it is still ongoing today as one continuous act of mercy by God Almighty in order to further His end times plans, and it gives the people of America what may very well be one last opportunity to set their priorities in line with His priorities.
In what appears to have been a miraculous occurrence, a political novice, a businessman, despite the presumed declaration of victory in advance by the Democrat Party, defeated Hillary Clinton to become the 45th president to the absolute shock of the entire nation. Shocks can be a blessing on occasion. God uses them when necessary.
Donald J. Trump, against all (human) odds, ran in what has become the normal campaign atmosphere of fake smiles, empty and meaningless promises, and the standard insincere rhetoric of “professional” politicians, an unorthodox and bombastic campaign…and won.
But how did he win? Why did he win? I realize that fear of 4 years of Hillary Clinton resulting in a huge turnout was the deciding factor on the surface of things, but…
I’m going to share a few thoughts with my readers that may seem a little strange. I don’t think it will seem so strange to those who know Jesus Christ as Savior and take the Word of God for what it is: The Truth and the reality that God is indeed not dead and His Will on earth will be done.
“Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, For wisdom and might are His. And He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and raises up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise And knowledge to those who have understanding. He reveals deep and secret things; He knows what is in the darkness, And light dwells with Him” (Daniel 2:20-22), Emphasis added.
The reference to “kings” in this verse applied to the ruler of Babylon. Trump is not a “king” but the duly elected leader of this country, fully accountable to God. Rest assured, God knows the difference, and He sets up and takes down whom He will.
If you happen to read this and are not a believer in Christ, I would ask you to read on and decide for yourself: Do these events and what they portray make sense to you?
In 2016, Trump primarily ran on a promise that struck a chord with a great many Americans. He said he would “Drain the Swamp.” Though he tried very hard, he was not successful. There were far too many enemies embedded in his first administration that he wrongly assumed loved America and took their oath of office seriously. Despite that, his effort did succeed in accomplishing something even more meaningful.
It brought into the light of day: rampant treachery, deceit, traitorous conduct, and the fact that it was so deeply ingrained in the government of America that it could no longer be denied. No more could we sing the words “land of the free” in our beloved American national anthem with any degree of confidence. Something had changed, and it wasn’t good. The unsettling sense of being duped and “played” was rising in the American conscience. Real Americans typically do not respond favorably when they become aware that they are intentionally being duped.
A “conscience” is a gift from God, and it was given for a reason (Romans 2:15-16).
Then came the “elections” of 2020, and Trump “lost.” I think enough evidence has emerged (and will continue to) that the 2020 election was stolen, and the total lack of integrity was proof that our Representative Republic,” our Constitution, and our freedom were under intentional and malicious assault.
I believe that this “pause” in God’s use of Trump was caused by the Lord Himself.
I believe it was to allow the implementation of the radical agenda of the Democrats and their minions of the New World Order in its frightful reality. Their true nature was brought out into the light of day. This globalist ideology is anathema to every precept, law, and ordinance of the Word of God and human decency as well. Now it is “out there.”
Not sure what I mean? As a very small example, watch a few minutes of the confirmation hearings, if you can stomach it that long, and observe the Democrats raging, maligning, and engaging in ad hominem attacks on the nominees.
It is covered with a false veneer of patriotism, but it is viciousness and panic.
Additionally, the explosion of hostility to the Jews, focused most notably on the Israelis, despite the brutality of the October 7 attack by Hamas and their supporters, provided a clear line in the sand for the world, and particularly America, to stand on. America had always supported Israel for numerous reasons, but that started to change.
The reverberations of God’s Word seem very clear given the natural (or maybe not so natural) disasters our nation has been experiencing over the last few years.
“I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed” (Genesis 12:3).
If God’s power and presence are the reason for the miraculous survival of Trump during the assassination attempt and his equally miraculous re-election, it would appear that the “pause” of the Trump administration has been completed and that God’s agenda enabled through him has been renewed with fire.
It is obvious that Donald Trump learned several hard lessons during this 4-year pause, and he is making the most of it. He has come back with a clear understanding of what has been done to America and just how much peril this country is in.
Coupled with all the evil that has been done to him personally, this time, the “kraken” has truly been unleashed. But the “kraken” can do nothing good without God’s Blessing.
Now to the crux of this article.
If the events of the previous 8 years are truly of God, and I believe they are, it is not because Trump is holy or righteous in God’s sight. He is just a man that God has raised up (as president) in order to accomplish His will. He has done it before. Pharoah, Cyrus, and Gideon are just three examples of the many in Scripture.
I believe a few points must now be made in order to put all this in perspective:
> God does not change. He is not about preserving any nation that will not serve Him. He is only going to bless America and, by extension, “Make America Great” again if America’s leadership and America itself respond by obedience to Him.
> Making America great, if indeed it is not too late, will be a by-product of obedience to Him. That means to once again be the loyal ally and blessing to His people Israel that we have been since its miraculous rebirth in a single day in 1948 (Isaiah 66:7-9).
> That also includes repenting of the moral cesspool this country has become and restoring America to the precepts it was founded on: The Constitutional rule of laws and justice based on the Word of God and how He, not humans, define His created order.
Most important: Jesus made it clear that in the end, it is not nations or groups of people but individuals who must repent. (Please see the Special Message below.)
“I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish” (Luke 13:3).
There is no ambiguity in His words or in His Word. Repentance is not optional.
I hope you will respond to that Truth. If you do, you must do so while you are still in your living years.
The special message I promised you:
For anyone who may read this article and has not trusted in Jesus Christ and therefore has no hope or peace in your life.
You can have hope. You can have the peace that Jesus has promised to all who have made Him their Lord and Savior. The peace that passes understanding.
It requires that you come before God on His terms and that you do so in your living years.
And, what are His terms according to His Word?
- Genuine repentance (turning to God instead of continuing to reject or ignore Him).
- Confession of sins (that you are a sinner and acknowledge that to God).
- That you understand that the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23).
- To acknowledge to God that you are unable to pay that debt.
- Belief that Jesus Christ paid your death sentence for you on the cross and rose from the grave three days later, conquering death, just as He promised.
- To believe that Jesus is the Way, the only Way, that God has established by which humans may be saved from the consequences of their sin and rebellion.
God has made it absolutely clear that there is no one who comes before Him, under His terms, that will be refused.
- No one: no race, no color, no country of origin, regardless of any previous belief system: no one.
- No matter what your past sins have been, God can and WILL forgive you because He says He will.
- Salvation is available to everyone without any exceptions.
If you put all your trust for salvation in Jesus, and Him only, you can follow that prayer up by simply saying, “Thank you, Father God, for hearing my prayer and saving me,” because we can trust Him to keep His Word. He always has. He always will.
“Truly, Truly, I say to you that he who hears My words and believes the One who sent Me has eternal life and will not be condemned. He has crossed from death to life” (John 5:24).
There are no answers and there is no hope in the world by governments, organizations, politics or politicians. There are only lies and deception. But you can have the Truth and the peace you seek.
The answers are in the Word of God—The Bible. If you ask God, with all your heart, He will hear you.
“And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart” (Jeremiah 29:13).
