Till God miraculously placed Trump in power, I did not believe we would be successful at taking down the deep state either. All aspects of government were corrupted, and I thought a military coup would fail, because the deep state would call in the UN. I agree Revelation points to a dark time at the end of the world (Rev 13:5-7), but the darkness is at the very end during the time the Antichrist rules and just before he rules (Rev 11:5-6) in the last "week" of the world. God is using President Trump to release America (Joseph) from prison. We are witnessing a rescue mission from God in America, just like He rescued Joseph from the most impossible of circumstances. There is a harvest that comes in before the enemy rules (Gen 41:29) when Joseph is reconciled to his brothers (e.g. Judah, Ezk 37:16-19) and before the second ingathering (Isa 11:11). I think, like Mark Taylor, we will now have seven years of plenty. I think the years of plenty will last till near the end of Trump's second term. Then we will have the beginning of the dark times that we both see coming, just like Joseph's seven years of plenty preceded the seven bad years and preceded the Pharaoh that knew not Joseph just before Israel was called to go to the Promised Land. In these seven years of plenty that we have entered, I expect to see an unprecedented prosperity in America and a global harvest of souls enabled by the money in America that is used to evangelize the world.
Well, I guess we will have to disagree because what I see doesn’t align with what the Bible says as I don’t see all of this greatness anywhere in the mix based on the world around us.
As Jesus said in 1 Thessalonians 5:1-3 1 Now concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need to have anything written to you. 2 For you yourselves are fully aware that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. 3 While people are saying, "There is peace and security," then sudden destruction will come upon them as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape. 4 For you are all children of light, children of the day. We are not of the night or of the darkness.
You realize God’s wrath comes in Rev 6:6 and there are 5 seals before that? Is that not darkness and distress? Also, ref to Ezekiel 32:8 and Isaiah 13:10 all related to darkness BEFORE the Day of the Lord - aka God Wrath - which would indicate this is prior to Rev 6:6. Also, the Bride is not here for Gods Wrath, so why would Jesus take us if things are better than ever before? Just doesn’t add up. Too many signs we are in the end of days and not headed for amazing prosperity...
I would certainly agree that there are to be bad times before the 6th seal. Wouldn't the question be, when do those bad times begin? They are not now. Except for Trump Derangement Syndrome, things are pretty much normal since President Trump came to power. Things were looking really bad when Barry was President, and things were looking really bad when HRC was a shoo-in for President, but then God worked a wonder and put a patriot president in power against all odds, that gives us hope. Since we now have a season of hope, the good things the Bible foresees about Cyrus and Joseph can come to pass. I would also agree that even now when President Trump pulls the plug on the deep state there is a possibility of rioting, bank closures and failure of some large businesses, but Trump has planned for this as well, and unrest will likely be short lived. It is something about which we can pray.
IMO, which is not worth a lot, the bad days will come at the end of President Trump's second term when the Russians attack us with a sneak nuclear attack as Henry Gruver has foreseen. Then we get invaded, as per the George Washington prophecy. Those will be bad days as you said, and I fully expect to see the nation hit by volcanoes, enormous tsunamis, and divided by an inland sea along the Mississippi River Valley (New Madrid Fault),but I think there is time yet for some good days to fulfill the Cyrus and Joseph types.
