Against all odds, former President Donald J. Trump made the most incredible comeback in American history tonight.
President Elect Trump, in recent weeks, took nothing for granted, campaigning in front of huge crowds in multiple states each day for weeks. The energy of the 78-year-old candidate has been nothing short of astounding.
Speaking to his supporters tonight in Florida, declaring victory in the most contentious political campaign ever contested, Donald Trump’s remarks were short, unifying and gracious.
The Future of America
It is likely that in the morning hours and days ahead, the election will be contested. Reports from Pennsylvania indicate that truckloads of ballots were being transported to polling areas after the polls had closed. It is also very likely that millions of ballots were cast illegally by non-citizens and there were numerous reports prior to November 5 of machine malfunction,
Miraculously, the Republican ticket was able to overcome investigation, demonization, impeachment, indictment, two assassination attempts, and a media assault unrivaled in American politics.
We will revisit this after the inauguration, but in the short term, Americans can expect to pay far less for energy costs, and virtually all other household expenses, because higher energy costs have led to rampant inflation.
Candidate Trump also indicated that he would support tax initiatives that would spur economic growth, eliminating income taxes on tips, social security income and even the elimination of income tax! While critics suggest these ideas would lead to greater deficits, the opposite is true. Eliminating federal income tax would spur economic growth exponentially as Americans would have 20-40% more disposable income. Replacing income tax would be a national sales tax which at first sounds onerous but considering business would be unburdened by complying with tax law, prices of goods and services would remain stable.
The Future of the Gospel
The election of Donald J. Trump to a second term is an affirmation of the American people’s desire for freedom of speech. In Trump’s previous term, he eliminated the enforcement, by Executive Order, the Johnson Amendment, a 1954 portion of the IRS code that prohibited nonprofit organizations from endorsing or opposing political candidates. Lyndon Johnson sponsored this revision because he wanted to limit the endorsement of his political opponents by churches and others with nonprofit status. It was Johnson’s way of silencing opposition. Trump’s order effectively eliminated retaliation to Churches for expressing what could be interpreted as “political.”
A Trump administration will allow Churches to continue to express their view on political matters that include criticism of government, if the Church is so inclined to offer an opinion, without losing their tax-exempt status.
Jesus proclaimed, in Matthew 24:14: “And this good news of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the world, as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.”
The “Good News” is that the Kingdom of God will replace all human governments. Where man’s government with its various iterations and types has failed, God’s government will not!
But here is the interesting aspect of the recent divisive American political contest — just as the election of Donald Trump will not be well received or welcomed with open arms by his political opponents, the government of God will also not be endorsed by the leaders of the earth. The time of the establishment of the government of God will be met by fierce opposition by the nations of the earth! (Revelation 11:18)
Finally, World News and Prophecy Review is hopeful that human governments will allow the freedom of expression that will allow the Good News of God’s Kingdom to be preached!
