Is The United States About To Bomb North Korea? The White House Says ‘The Clock Has Now Run Out’ - Michael Snyder THE ECONOMIC COLLAPSE BLOG

Is The United States About To Bomb North Korea? The White House Says ‘The Clock Has Now Run Out’ Posted: 04 Apr 2017  Michael Snyder  THE ECONOMIC COLLAPSE BLOG I got chills when I saw a CNN report that said that a White House official has just warned that “the clock has now run out” on North Korea’s nuclear program and that “all options are on the table”.  That second phrase has been repeatedly used by members of the Trump administration in recent days, and everyone knows what it means.   When I wrote that a conflict with North Korea could be “Trump’s first war” last month, I was still hoping that cooler heads would prevail and that a military conflict could be avoided.  Unfortunately, it appears that a peaceful solution is not in the cards, and that means that the United States may soon start bombing North Korea.  And of course if that happens the North Koreans will strike back with whatever they can, and that includes nuclear weapons. I don’t know if I have the words to effectively communicate how serious this situation could become.  We have gotten to the point where the White House is openly talking of going to war with a nuclear power… A senior White House official issued a dire warning to reporters Tuesday on the state of North Korea’s nuclear program, declaring “the clock has now run out and all options are on the table.” “The clock has now run out, and all options are on the table,” the official said, pointing to the failure of successive administration’s efforts to negotiate an end to North Korea’s nuclear program. Later this week, President Trump is going to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Florida.  The eyes of the entire world will be on this summit, because everyone knows that Trump is going to press the Chinese leader for help on resolving the crisis with North Korea. But what can China actually do? The Chinese could cut off trade with North Korea, and that would definitely hurt, but North Korean leader Kim Jong Un appears to have become convinced that long range nuclear missiles are the key to the survival of his regime, and so he will never give up his nuclear program. And the Chinese will certainly not strike North Korea militarily, and so ultimately if something is going to be done to stop North Korea from getting long range nuclear missiles it will be up to the United States. On Tuesday morning, North Korea once again showed their defiance by firing yet another test missile into the Sea of Japan… The missile was fired from the Sinpo region at 10.40pm GMT (6.10am local time) on the communist nation’s east coast and landed into the sea off the Korean peninsula, South Korean military officials confirmed. The rocket is believed to have flown around 37 miles before crashing into the sea. Specific details about the type of projectile were not immediately available. Kim Jong Un conducted more missile tests in 2016 than his father did in nearly two decades. It has become crystal clear that North Korea is not going to back down. President Trump is still hoping that China will step up to the plate, but if the Chinese don’t he has already stated that the United States is fully prepared to “act alone”.  In fact, he made headlines all over the planet when he told the Financial Times the following: “Well if China is not going to solve North Korea, we will. That is all I am telling you.” It doesn’t take much imagination to figure out what Trump is saying there. Previous administrations have tried sanctions and negotiations for decades, and they all failed. In the end, Trump is going to be faced with a choice whether to bomb North Korea or not, and four-star general Jack Keane says that bombing North Korea “may be the only option left”… A four-star general with close ties to Donald Trump has warned that military strikes are ‘rapidly’ becoming the only solution to North Korea’s nuclear program. Jack Keane, who declined the President’s offer to become Defense Secretary last year, said bombing Kim Jong-un’s nuclear facilities ‘may be the only option left.’ But bombing North Korea is not like bombing Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya or Syria. The North Koreans already have nuclear weapons, and the U.S. better destroy them all in an overwhelming initial assault, because Kim Jong Un will use any that survive to strike back. If you doubt this, just consider what a very high level North Korean defector just told Lester Holt of NBC News… A senior North Korean defector has told NBC News that the country’s “desperate” dictator is prepared to use nuclear weapons to strike the United States and its allies. Thae Yong Ho is the most high profile North Korean defector in two decades, meaning he is able to give a rare insight into the secretive, authoritarian regime. According to Thae, North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un is “desperate in maintaining his rule by relying on his [development of] nuclear weapons and ICBM.” He was using an acronym for intercontinental ballistic missiles — a long range rocket that in theory would be capable of hitting the U.S. North Korea is currently developing an intercontinental ballistic missile known as the “Taepodong 2” that will have a range of approximately 8000 kilometers. In other words, it would be capable of striking cities in the western portion of the United States. It is unthinkable that we would allow a tyrannical leader that is literally insane and that is obsessed with destroying the United States to have such a weapon. But the moment that we start dropping bombs on North Korea we will start a war in which millions could die.  Whatever nuclear weapons are missed in the first assault will likely be fired at U.S. military bases in Japan or at South Korea’s capital city of Seoul.   Approximately 10 million people live in Seoul, so the death toll would be absolutely enormous.  And even if all North Korean nuclear devices are destroyed by the first attack, the North Koreans still have thousands of artillery guns and rocket launchers trained on Seoul, and they would not hesitate to use their vast stockpile of chemical warheads. After the initial North Korean barrage, the fourth largest military on the entire planet would start pouring across the border in a massive invasion of South Korea.  The U.S. military would be forced to respond with large scale ground forces if South Korea would have any chance of surviving, and just like in the first Korean War the Chinese may decide to respond to that move by committing their own troops to the war on the side of North Korea. This is a season of “wars and rumors of wars”, and most Americans have no idea how dangerously close we are to the beginning of World War III.  My hope is that a peaceful way out of this crisis can still be found, but at this point that is becoming increasingly difficult to imagine. If Donald Trump decides to go to war with North Korea, he needs to hit them with an absolutely overwhelming first strike that takes out every single North Korean nuke, the bulk of North Korea’s artillery and rockets, and the entire North Korean leadership team within the first few minutes of the attack. It is hard to imagine a scenario that does not involve nukes that would accomplish that. And Donald Trump better get the public approval of South Korean and Japanese leadership before ever attempting such an attack, because they will likely pay the highest price if North Korea is able to strike back. If South Korea or Japan balk at backing such an operation and then they get hit by North Korean nukes, the United States could lose them as friends and allies forever. The stakes are incredibly high, and there are so many things that could go wrong. So let us pray for peace, because the alternative is almost too horrible to imagine.

Haley Accuses UN of Demonizing Israel - CBN News

Haley Accuses UN of Demonizing Israel

CBN News 03-15-2017

America's U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley unleashed a scathing rebuke after the United Nations released a report calling Israel a racist and apartheid state. 

The report was co-authored by scholar Richard Falk who is known for accusing America and her Jewish ally of being colonial empires. The report calls Israel "an institutionalized regime of systematic oppression and domination" and calls on countires to take action against Israel through boycotts and divestments. 

Haley was quick to condem Falk's claims, calling it "anti-Israel propaganda."

"The United States stands with our ally Israel and will continue to oppose biased and anti-Israel actions across the UN system and around the world," Haley said. 

She also called on the United Nations to take action and withdraw the study. 

A spokesperson for U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres distanced him from the controversial report. However, amabassador Haley believes that is not enough and called on the United Nations to completely withdraw the report. 

"That it was drafted by Richard Falk, a man who has repeatedly made biased and deeply offensive comments about Israel and espoused ridiculous conspiracy theories, including about the 9/11 terrorist attacks, is equally unsurprising," Haley said. "The United Nations Secretariat was right to distance itself from this report, but it must go further and withdraw the report altogether."

The report comes at a time when the Trump administration is reconsidering its role in several U.N. programs and taking a bolder pro-Israel stance. The administration is reviewing its membership on on the Human Right Council, which has issued numerous resolutions against Israel while ignoring human rights abuses in countries like Saudi Arabia and Syria.

The United States Is On The Precipice Of Widespread Civil Unrest - Michael Snyder THE ECONOMIC COLLAPSE BLOG

The United States Is On The Precipice Of Widespread Civil Unrest Posted: 29 Jan 2017   Michael Snyder  THE ECONOMIC COLLAPSE BLOG It doesn’t take much of a trigger to push extremely large crowds of very angry protesters into committing acts of rioting and violence.  And rioting and violence can ultimately lead to widespread civil unrest and calls for “revolution”.  The election of Donald Trump was perhaps the single most galvanizing moment for the radical left in modern American history, and we have already seen that a single move by Trump can literally cause protests to erupt from coast to coast within 48 hours.   On Friday, Trump signed an executive order that banned refugees from Syria indefinitely and that placed a 90 day ban on travel to the United States for citizens of Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.  Within hours, protesters began to storm major airports, and by Sunday very large crowds were taking to the streets all over the country… From Seattle to Newark, Houston to Boston, hundreds jammed airport terminals — lawyers, immigration advocates, ordinary citizens compelled to the front lines, many refusing to leave until those who had been detained by U.S. Customs had been freed or had obtained legal counsel. On Sunday, the movement caught fire and demonstrations and rallies erupted in communities across the U.S. from city halls to airports to parks. In the nation’s capital, the site of the march that drew a crushing 500,000 people Jan. 21, Pennsylvania Avenue was shut down Sunday as thousands trekked from the White House to the U.S. Capitol. An energized crowd stopped outside Trump’s showcase hotel along the avenue to shake fists and chant “shame.” You can see some really good pictures of the protests going on around the nation right here. As I was going through articles about these protests today, I remember one woman holding up a sign that said “Remove Trump By Any Means Necessary”. It doesn’t take much imagination to figure out what she was suggesting. Visions of violence are dancing in the heads of these very frustrated people, and they are being egged on by top members of Congress such as Chuck Schumer… ‘These orders go against what America has always been about,’ Schumer told the crowd in Battery Park according to the New York Daily News. ‘The orders make us less humanitarian, less safe, less American and when it comes to making us less safe people forget this, that’s why so many of our military, intelligence, security, and law enforcement leaders are opposed to this order and all those like it.’ Chelsea Clinton, the daughter of Trump’s presidential rival, Hillary, tweeted a picture from the rally. It was captioned: ‘Yes. We will keep standing up for a country that matches our values and ideals for all. #NewYork #NoBanNoWall.’ On Sunday, President Trump attempted to clarify what his executive order was really about and make it clear that it was not a ban on all Muslims.  The following comes from CNN… President Donald Trump insisted Sunday his travel ban on certain Muslim-majority nations would protect the United States from terrorists, after a weekend of outrage and confusion over the move. In an afternoon statement, Trump wrote the country would continue showing “compassion to those fleeing oppression.” Unfortunately, polls show that somewhere around a third of the country greatly dislikes Trump, and those people are more than ready to believe that Trump is a racist bigot that hates all Muslims. But the truth is that Trump does not hate any group of people.  His target is simply Islamic terror, and he is actually pro-immigration as long as it is legal immigration. Let us not forget that his wife is a legal immigrant. I know that Trump is quite eager to get things done, but putting out this executive order at this particular moment was definitely a case of poor timing. We are a nation that is deeply, deeply divided, and now this latest controversy threatens to divide us even further. When I was out earlier today, I saw a pro-Trump billboard that some business owner had put up that was urging liberals to quit their whining. On the surface that may sound funny, but it definitely doesn’t do anything to bring us together. If you give anger enough fuel, eventually it leads to violence.  I am certainly not suggesting that we should ever compromise on what we believe, but what I am suggesting is that there is a wise way to handle things and an unwise way to handle things. Someday, widespread civil unrest is going to sweep across the United States and major American cities will burn. My hope is that we can put this off for as long as possible. In fact, I sincerely hope that this will not happen at all during the Trump/Pence era. But you would have to be blind not to see the hate, anger and frustration that are all growing like cancer in the hearts of our young people. This is a time for the peacemakers.  If there are any left in Washington, we need them to rise up now and try to bring healing before it is too late.

Employment Boom: 10 Companies That Have Promised To Add Jobs In The United States Since Trump Was Elected - Michael Snyder THE ECONOMIC COLLAPSE BLOG

Employment Boom: 10 Companies That Have Promised To Add Jobs In The United States Since Trump Was Elected

Posted: 23 Jan 2017   Michael Snyder  THE ECONOMIC COLLAPSE BLOG

One of the primary things that Trump’s presidency will be judged upon is his ability to encourage the creation of good paying jobs for American workers, and so far the results have been quite promising.  Since Trump’s surprise election victory in November, a whole bunch of companies have either promised to bring jobs back into the country or have pledged to create new ones.  Ultimately time will tell if those jobs actually materialize, but for the moment there is a tremendous amount of optimism in the air.  In fact, I don’t know if we have ever seen anything quite like this at the beginning of a new presidency. 

The following are 10 companies that have promised to add jobs in the United States since the election of Donald Trump…

#1 Kroger says that it intends to fill 10,000 permanent positions in the United States this year.

#2 IBM has announced that it will be hiring an additional 25,000 workers in the United States over the next four years.

#3 Foxconn is considering setting up a 7 billion dollar plant in the United States that would create between 30,000 and 50,000 jobs.

#4 Amazon.com has pledged to add 100,000 full-time jobs in the United States by mid-2018.

#5 Wal-Mart has announced that it plans to add approximately 10,000 retail jobs in the United States in 2017.

#6 Sprint has announced that 5,000 jobs will be brought back to the United States instead of going overseas.

#7 After meeting with Trump, the CEO of SoftBank stated his intention to create 50,000 new jobs in the United States.

#8 After a phone call from Trump, industrial manufacturing giant Carrier promised to keep hundreds of jobs in the United States instead of moving them out of the country.

#9 Hyundai has promised to spend 3.1 billion dollars supporting their current factories in Georgia and Alabama, and they have said that they are now considering adding an additional factory in the United States as well.

#10 GM has pledged to invest a billion dollars in U.S. factories and to add or keep 7,000 jobs in the United States.

Unlike most politicians, so far Donald Trump seems determined to actually keep many of the promises that he made during the campaign.  And on Monday he kept a very important promise by pulling the U.S. out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership.  If you are not familiar with the Trans-Pacific Partnership, the following is a pretty good summary  from USA Today…

The TPP is a comprehensive trade agreement among 12 Pacific Rim countries, not including China, that was signed last year by President Obama after seven years of negotiation. But the Senate had not yet ratified it. The 30-chapter pact, which also needed to be ratified by other countries before Trump’s order Monday, primarily aims to boost exports, remove tariffs and non-tariff  barriers, open access to more markets and usher in transparency in trade rules.

The 12 nations that were to be included in the Trans-Pacific Partnership collectively account for approximately 40 percent of global GDP.  So it was going to be a very big deal, and it is something that Barack Obama had been working on for many years.
But with one stroke of a pen it is over, and as I will explain below that is a very good thing.
Trump is also promising to keep his pledge to renegotiate NAFTA…

On Nafta, Trump said Sunday that he’ll meet with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto to begin discussing the deal, which he has routinely blamed for the loss of U.S. jobs although there was little change to employment in the U.S. in several years after it went into effect. Trump signaled that he’s willing to work with the U.S.’s closest neighbors.
“We’re going to start renegotiating on Nafta, on immigration, and on security at the border,” Trump said at the start of a swearing-in ceremony for top White House staff. “I think we’re going to have a very good result for Mexico, for the United States, for everybody involved. It’s really very important.”

Nobody is suggesting that we shouldn’t trade with the rest of the world, but what Donald Trump understands that so many other politicians do not is that many of these “free trade deals” have been extremely destructive to the U.S. economy.

For years, we have been buying far, far more from the rest of the world than they have been buying from us.  As a result of our massive trade deficits, there has been a continual flow of cash, jobs and businesses leaving the country.

Over the past several decades, formerly great manufacturing cities such as Detroit have been reduced to urban hellholes.  Meanwhile, China has become exceedingly wealthy and gleaming new factories have sprouted like mushrooms in their major cities.

This didn’t happen by accident.

Bad decisions lead to bad results.  And if we had kept on doing the same things, we would have continued to systematically impoverish our nation.

For more than seven years, I have been hammering home the message that our trade policies have been absolutely killing us.  So I am quite thankful that we finally have a president that understands these things.

Of course there is much more to fixing our economy than just addressing our trade deals.  As I discussed yesterday, our rapidly growing debt is becoming a major crisis, and that is going to present quite a challenge for Trump.

But for the moment, we should definitely celebrate the fact that Trump has gotten us out of the TPP and that he plans to renegotiate NAFTA.

Donald Trump understands business, and it is going to be fascinating to watch how a businessman handles the position of the presidency.  It has only been a few days, but already some of his former critics seem to be coming around a little bit.  For instance, just consider what Mark Cuban is saying…

The Dallas Mavericks owner and entrepreneur is “playing it by ear” when it comes to the effect President Donald Trump’s policies will have on the stock market. But he thinks there’s possible upside.
“I think the discussed economic programs are potentially a big plus for public companies and the overall economy,” Mr. Cuban said in an e-mail Mondaymorning.
The potential policies Mr. Cuban is optimistic about: corporate tax cuts; getting rid of the “friction” for small businesses; and reducing and simplifying administrative activities.

Considering our current trajectory and the immense amount of long-term damage that was done during the Obama years, it is hard to be optimistic about the future of the U.S. economy.

However, I am certainly willing to give Donald Trump a chance to show what he can do.
At least he is doing things differently than his predecessors did, and that is to be greatly applauded because the road that we were on clearly would have ended in economic oblivion.
We may very well end up there anyway, but there is certainly nothing wrong with being hopeful that Trump can somehow turn things around.

"Don't Allow the Enemy to Take My Ravens Out of the Church!"

Stephen Powell, Fort Mill, SC

Preserving the Ravens of God

"And it will be that you shall drink from the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there." (1 Ki. 17:4)

God says, "The enemy is trying to take the ravens out of the Church." Ravens represent supernatural provision (see 1 Ki. 17:4). Even though we can make money and prosper according to laws of economics in the earth, there is a higher way, a higher culture, that the Church is connected to called the economy of Heaven. Ultimately, all of the economies of the earth are subject to this economy, even though many are not aware of it.

Whole nations have risen and fallen on supernatural culture giving because this culture, which has these supernatural acts, are beyond the natural. They are of the eternal Kingdom, and when they are inserted into the earth's matrix by faith, all other economies are subject to them.

When God brought the children of Israel out of Egypt, He blessed them tremendously even with the bounty of that land. They came out loaded with camels, livestock, gold, silver and precious stones. They plundered the enemy (Ex. 12:35)! But almost immediately they began to manifest the Egypt in their hearts by pouring their resources into an idol (Ex. 32:4).

"So it is in the world today. Resources flow to build what's in the heart of the nations! So be prepared to see more Apostolic Kingdom-building in the days to come than we've ever seen before, because the light of God's glory will continue to break through into the hearts of mankind, even kings and men of influence," says the Lord!

Israel had a Moses, and God has still blessed His Church and His world with many like Moses— many who will go up on the mount at times even without food and water and without the most basic needs to plead on behalf of God's people. These people have stood in the gap and cried for a better tomorrow.

"They have not cried in vain," says the Lord. Their cries have been heard for many long years and God is bringing grace in ways we cannot even see or comprehend. For where there is gross darkness—even deep error and sin—grace does much more abound in these areas, for darkness doesn't stand a chance against the light! (Photo via Wikimedia Commons)

God's Miracles and Provision Are His Pleasure

Moses began to establish the nation in righteousness and justice and many of the laws of the Kingdom of God while governing in the earth. Many of these principles—these Kingdom revelations—although being refined through the person of Christ and His Gospel of grace, will forever remain because God's Laws and Kingdom are eternal.

In this establishing, Moses called for the building of a structure which God gave the blueprint for through the heavenly vision (Ex. 25:9). He called for the linens, the badger skins, the dyed garments, the bronze, the stones, the precious metals and the gold. He called for the wealth which God had given even in the form of seed. This was Kingdom government and order being established by God's people even through lavish giving. Listen to the extraordinary account of this scenario unfold in the book of Exodus.

"The people are bringing more than enough for doing the work the Lord commanded to be done." Then Moses gave an order and they sent this word throughout the camp: "No man or woman is to make anything else as an offering for the sanctuary." And so the people were restrained from bringing more, because what they already had was more than enough to do all the work."(Ex.36:5-7 NIV)

This is an apostolic foundation even for a nation state; one nation under God being poured into through supernatural giving.

The Lord would say unto the Church, "Don't allow the enemy to take My ravens out of the Church. Some of your teachers have told you to put away the ravens and not to let them out. They say, 'You're a fool if you believe in financial miracles, you're a fool if you think seriously about such things as gold and glory.' But I would say unto you, 'Did not your Lord, Jesus Christ, say unto His disciples to pay the taxes due unto Caesar but then turned around and command that the tax be paid supernaturally by the mouth of the fish? Did not I shift the heavens to bring down quail and manna in the midst of My people; in the midst of their wanderings? Am I not the God of the supernatural that takes delight in it?"(Photo via Pixabay)

The Lord would say, "I'm telling My people to be good stewards and open up your windows, Malachi's windows, so the ravens can find their home in your life. Manage with wisdom but expect the God of miracles to send the ravens. This is My pleasure," says the Lord.

"And as you learn to find taxes in the fish's mouth, flesh in the raven's beak, even honey in the lion, I will bring more fish, more birds, more beasts with the earth's sweetness—even the wealth of the land. This is a key to moving beyond the earth's economy into My supernatural economy of Heaven," says the Lord!

"Manage wisely, but make decrees. Expect the miraculous even in your money, and I will cause the windows of Heaven to open in your life and cause My face to shine upon you even through these windows," says the Lord.

"Each window has an angel assigned. But if you don't work with the angels by embracing the economy they work in, they will move onto another that opens the window for them, even with their faith and agreement," says the Lord.

New Apostolic Foundations for Nations

There were many wonderful things that our nation, the United States, was built on. At the nation's founding we saw apostolic fathers arising and making the foundation of this nation into an altar of sacrifice. This being similar to the foundation for Solomon's reign which was founded in sacrifice (1 Ki. 3:4).

It's a matter of history that many of our founding fathers gave vast sums of their wealth away, giving into the cause of the revolution, sacrificially giving to establish the foundation of a new nation (1). Many of these fathers gave their lives for the love of something, which they received from God. They gave so much because of the the hope that God gave them—that liberty and freedom might reign in this new world!

The Lord says, "I'm bringing together apostolic fathers again, not just in the Church but in nation and state. They will break up the old foundations that offend and pour new strength into the Constitution even into your foundation as a nation to stand and trust God once again for our greatest days. This foundation will undoubtedly be built on truth. And not a convenient truth, but a tried truth, a proven truth, a loving truth," says the Lord.

"The people who pour it and the people who build it will be good for their word. For it will be a striking trait of this new apostolic company of government reformers. They will keep their word, even with grace to carry it through. There is rising a greater part with you, for the giving of the word, and the 'yes' and 'amen' that comes with it.

"This will build impeccable character and rapport with the people. They will continue to be less touchable, even in many ways beyond previous reproaches that so weighed down previous teams. But in standing in truth they will be strengthened by the God of truth, and they will effectively lay the foundation for America's new day even pave the way for the greatest harvest with love, sweat and tears for this nation," says the Lord!

Johnny Enlow: "Trump Quake! What's Next?" - The Elijah List

Johnny Enlow: "Trump Quake! What's Next?"

The Elijah List

Dec 6, 2016

From the desk of Steve Shultz:

One of my favorite prophetic voices is Johnny Enlow. More than some prophets, he delivers the prophetic word and then he also helps to interpret what that word means.

Scripture says that we know in part and we prophesy in part. Johnny is one of those who is pretty good at both. He prophesies, but then he mixes in the truths of what we either know in part or perhaps what we should know in part.

With that in mind, grab yourself a cup of coffee and get comfortable as this is a bit longer than most words we publish, but there is a lot to absorb.

When you're done reading this, you should have a firmer grasp on the days ahead.

And one final thought while I have your attention: The Annual Elijah List conference is filling up fast. Our speakers this year are Dr. Alveda King (MLK's niece, Chuck Pierce, Dutch Sheets and Jane Hamon).

This is usually either sold out or almost sold out, so get your registration completed. We'll see you here in Albany, Oregon in a few weeks. To register for the Annual Elijah List conference click here. (To Subscribe to the Elijah List go here.)

"Trump Quake! What's Next?"

Johnny Enlow, Santa Clarita, CA

God Has Intervened

With the election of Donald J. Trump, the United States and the world itself has just experienced a global-rattling earthquake, which will release tsunami waves of reformation changes for some time. No matter who wins elections, God remains King at all times and this time, because He is King, He chose and voted in the man of His choice.

In the matrix of the spirit realm, as He placed Trump into power, He also released unprecedented wave after wave of the hosts of Heaven. These heavenly hosts have heavily damaged three major principalities over government, media, and the economy – and will continue to do so. The principalities were conspiring and doing everything in their power to sabotage this political result. They are not afraid of Trump's righteousness, but rather they're afraid of the size of the heavenly army they see moving in synchronicity with him.

In this day it's important for all of us to understand that this is not about politics. It's not about left or right. It's not about our favorite political issue or our debates over the character or lack of it in "our candidate." This is about recognizing that God has intervened in the affairs of man and learning to agree with Him.

Trump has been anointed with an Isaiah 45, Cyrus anointing to break down the enemy's mafia-like stronghold on the mountains of government, media and economy. As our 45th President, he will "strip kings of their armor, level the mountains, break down the double gates of resistance and cut through iron doors" (see Is. 45). He will also be given access to treasures and riches stored in secret places.

He will come in barely knowing God, yet friendly towards Him, and before he leaves he'll be branded by the fire of God's presence. I believe he'll be filled with the Holy Spirit in progressive measures as his terms continue. Three major archangels, including Gabriel, will be assigned to Trump's commission and the gates of hell will rattle, shake, and be pulverized. A major black web that was over the nation has been suctioned off the land and that's just the beginning. Next, the root structures of these webs will be exposed and uprooted. (Photo via Charisma News)

183: America is Being Reformed

After the election I had a series of dreams that all ended with the statement "Trump 183." As I searched into the meaning, I was led first of all to Isaiah 18:3, "All you people of the world, you who live on the earth, when a banner is raised on the mountains, you will see it, and when a TRUMP sounds, YOU WILL HEAR IT" (my capitals). I was then lead to Jeremiah 18:3, "So I went down to the potter's house, and I saw him working at the wheel." Verse 4 tells what the Potter was doing, "But the pot He was shaping from the clay was marred in His hands; so the Potter FORMED it into another pot, SHAPING IT AS SEEM BEST TO HIM."

God has raised a Trump to His mouth and it is a Trump sound that all are hearing. As we connect Is.18:3 to Jer. 18:3, He is also letting us know that He has Potter rights to come REFORM something that has lost its original intention and design, and He has the right to shape as it seems best to Him. If you were to read on down in Jeremiah 18, He lays out how He has the right to announce the building or the uprooting of any nation He so chooses.

Because of what God will now do in America and among the nations, the Sovereignty of God will gain understanding and luster as we have theologically reduced Him to an almost deistic position that will be proven untrue. Yes, it is true He is inviting us in to partner with Him, but that is the focus – HE is the Ruler of the nations, and we learn to partner with Him, His timing, His rhythm. If you hadn't noticed, He is not taking His cues from us.

He did not put Trump in because he has the best character and pro-life stance. There were perhaps 15 Presidential candidates who looked better than him in both of those matters. God was not asking us our opinion. He is still not asking us our opinion. Many of us have been like Joshua in Joshua 5:13-15: aware that we carry a lot of authority, but momentarily having forgotten the greater narrative. In that passage Joshua sees a man with a drawn sword and he asks Him, "Are you for us or for our enemies?" Many of us have been carrying this type of thinking, even as it relates to this election. The answer to Joshua was "Neither, but as Commander of the army of the Lord I have come." Joshua then appropriately falls face down and is further instructed to take off his shoes because "this is holy ground."

God is about to do a most holy thing among us as we go into the "Promised Land" of the seven mountains, and it all starts with getting clarification on who is in charge. The symbols having to do with this 5777 year (Hebraic calendar) are all about a drawn sword. Our 7-spirited God is on the scene, even as we flex our authority muscle, and He is telling us to get out of our shoes and to come under His directive. He doesn't want us taking so much "ownership" of our part that we behave as if we are orphans and it all depends only on us. (Photo via Pixabay)

The nations are our inheritance – and inheritance is all about learning how to receive versus learning how to achieve. There is something to be done, but it is not frantic, nor frenetic. It is something to be done in rest and confidence, knowing the legal right that is being entered into and the overwhelming superiority of might that is ours.

Many have become aware that the enemy is in heavy backlash mode. The wrong take away is to panic at that backlash. A lot of the backlash is similar to what a chicken does when its head is cut off – its strongest kickback is once it is already dead. There are some dark things dying right now that don't require any kind of strategy to contain other than to stay back and observe. Panic belongs in the enemy's camp and rest belongs in our camp.

The Curse is Reversed: The Era of the Father

It was not coincidental that the Chicago Cubs just won the World Series, breaking the longest drought in North America sports history. They last won the World Series in 1908, which wrapped up three consecutive years of being in the World Series. That 3-year period of 1906, 1907, 1908 was the 3-year period that marked the start of the Azusa Street Revival which has revolutionized the world forever, and now encompasses 700 million Holy Spirit-filled Believers.

The Protestant Reformation that was unleashed through Martin Luther 499 years ago, represented the beginning of receiving the full benefits of the Son. That which was kicked off through the Azusa Street Revival in 1906 represents the beginning of receiving the full benefits of the Holy Spirit.

What kicks off now is the beginning of the era of the Father – and this is all about inheritance, Promised Land, Reformation, Restoration, Renaissance, and the nations becoming Jesus' reward. He was the first Son to ask the nations as inheritance (Ps. 2:8). God is so good at synchronizing everything that it is in the year 5777 He begins all of this.The number is significant: 5 is the number of grace, each 7 represents one of the Trinity in fullness, and now all 3 will be on display in an unprecedented way.

Furthermore, He orchestrates this even through the timing of inauguration as His Trump will be 70 years, 7 months and 7 days on that day. The enemy is still frantically working to derail this but he will not succeed. His desperate attempts are revealing just that – his desperation. Remember the panic belongs in his camp.

The Sleeping Giant Has Awakened

Back in July 15, 2005, Bob Jones (now in Heaven) had a very significant vision while in Cincinnati, Ohio. In the vision, Bob saw a great man who in the past had fallen asleep. In fact, he saw that the giant had been sleeping since 1967. This giant was on its back, half covered in dirt, and his name was Gulliver. Little people from little input had completely tied him down. (Photo via Bonnie Jones)

Bob saw that the head of this sleeping giant was in Jacob's Field, Cleveland, Ohio; its heart was in Columbus, Ohio; its reproductive organs were in Cincinnati, Ohio; its left hand in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; its right hand in Indianapolis, Indiana; its left foot in Charlotte, North Carolina; its right foot in Nashville, Tennessee. He saw that Gulliver eventually stood up in Atlanta, Georgia, and through that standing up took the whole south.

Now Bob received something specific for each city mentioned and that can be further researched on your own. However, he noted that it awakened in Jacob's Field, which is the original name for the Cleveland Indians home stadium were the Chicago Cubs won the World Series. Of interest perhaps is that the Chicago Cubs were originally called the White Stockings, which is a good description for "the saints." That is whom He is arising through to break the witchcraft curses that have been on society.

Bob saw this as an open vision in 2005, and we have all looked for the clear signs of this giant truly awakening. Suddenly all the signs point to NOW with the Cubs winning the big World Series in Jacob's Field, thus reversing the curse. Furthermore as one studies the recent election results it becomes key that every state mentioned, as to where key parts of Gulliver were located, ended up being a key state for voting in Donald Trump.

The state of Ohio mentioned three times by Bob was perhaps the biggest surprise by going early and overwhelmingly towards Trump. Pennsylvania, Georgia, and North Carolina were all considered key swing states and they all went Trump. In fact if you laid out a map and drew out the sleeping giant across the states described by Bob, you would see that it essentially outlines areas that all went the red color that represented Trump.

I believe that Gulliver in some way represents the Church, but that it specifically speaks to America's destiny. I believe that these cities will continue to be significant even in ways not seen by Bob Jones, as he looked at these cities more through the spectrum of the Church. I believe that much of America's resurrected destiny will have to do with finding inner-city solutions and that these will be forthcoming in key cities such as Cleveland, Cincinnati, Philadelphia, Charlotte, and Atlanta.

It is not coincidental that Atlanta was the birth place of Martin Luther King Jr. and the Civil Rights movement. The giant destiny of America has to somehow rise and stand in Atlanta and that is when it becomes fully legitimate. Nashville is highlighted because an anointed music will be birthed out of Nashville that will be the sound that this Gulliver marches and dances to. Columbus is highlighted because of its name and the new discovery of the heart of America takes place as Gulliver arises. Columbus itself will model the heart of this awakened giant of destiny.

Asleep Since 1967?

This is interesting to look into because 1967 is often seen as the year the Jesus Movement began. It is also the year Israel won the 6-day war and Jerusalem once again came under Israel jurisdiction thus reawakening its destiny after a couple of millennia. How then could a sleeping giant fall asleep at this time when new significant awakenings and restorations were taking place? The Summer of Love in San Francisco took place in 1967 and MLK Jr.'s last full year was 1967.

As I stated, I believe that Gulliver represents some combination of the Church as well as America's destiny. What is it that went asleep in 1967? Perhaps we can get further insight by remembering details of the story of Gulliver. Gulliver was a cheery optimist who was a surgeon and whose first name was Lemuel – meaning "belonging to God," and is a King mentioned in Proverbs. It is the 6-inch tall Lilliputians who turn on him in mass, and while he sleeps they manage to tie him down with thousands of little ropes. The Lilliputians were a people driven by the most trivial matters, and it was the author's intention to, in satire, have them be representative of petty religion.

The Jesus Movement was the last great move of the Holy Spirit in America, but almost in mass, using petty religious treatises, the mainstream churches rejected this move of God. In doing so, they became as the Lilliputians, tying down a healing optimistic giant who then has struggled to awaken and arise until this day. In much the same way mainstream America rejected the essence of the Civil Rights Movement by finding petty disagreements with the main voices of the movement, also thus tying down that which was supposed to flourish. A move of God both in the Church and in society found itself coopted, put to sleep and tied down by pessimistic, faultfinding Lilliputians. God was awakening love on the west coast, but the east coast intellectually put it to sleep and tied it down.

Nor can it be considered just an afterthought what took place with the liberating of Jerusalem. God was giving Israel back her capital and yet the Church, with its Replacement Theology and society with its demonically distorted perspective on Middle Eastern history, found a way to tie down the awakened giant of new destiny. The Church did not get that God was awakening the giant destiny of natural Israel, and society had no grid for working things out through love, which was the cry that arose in 1967.

These two things will now be awakened to unprecedented measures as Israel's destiny and the love of the Father will begin to take center stage. It is no minor thing that Trump has stated that he will recognize Jerusalem as Israel's historic capital. This is so huge that it alone could justify his becoming President of the United States.

My last comment on being asleep since 1967: it is unfortunate that historically, for lack of vision, when there is revival the task of reformation is essentially ignored as if more people getting saved is the cure all for the institutional ills of society. Gulliver ultimately represents more than revival as he was a surgeon and that speaks into reformation. It was remarkable that in 1967 and beyond there was a disconnect between the revival atmosphere spun off by the Jesus Movement and the reformation assignment of the Civil Rights Movement.

This time there can be no disconnect, and the sleeping giant of reformation cannot be put to sleep even by revival-mindedness. The expanded purpose of revival beyond the immediate harvest is to inspire those being revived to show up in society carrying the nuanced love of God designed to show up in each of the 7 mountains. To make it clearer, revival must ultimately affect government, media, economy, family, education, and arts and entertainment, and not just awake and then die asleep on the mountain of religion. In fact, when we finally learn to channel revival happenings into the other 6 mountains, revival will never sleep again.

Trump's Commission

Here is what I believe Donald Trump has been commissioned to do. First of all, he is quite on track with his often ridiculed mantra of "Let's Make America Great." While it initially sounds too self-centered and void of care for the rest of the world, it is not when properly understood. America has a great call to be a Great Samaritan nation, as well as to be a model Melting Pot for the nations. Both of those long-term calls have to be put on a general pause while the nation itself becomes strengthened. Even as a natural mother needs recovery time from birthing a baby before she prepares to birth another, our nation needs a recovery time of identity, purpose, finances, and general well-being before re-presenting herself before the world. (Photo via Donald Trump Facebook)

Some momentary "selfishness" for the sake of long-term service and generosity is needed. Part of the "selfishness" is eliminating the corruption and big money interests in government, economy, and media. The strongholds of darkness in those three mountains have been threatening our nations destiny.

Here in brief is some of what Trump is anointed and empowered to accomplish:

#1 - Upgrade Government

The way government gets upgraded is by identifying corrupted and corrupting systems, removing them, and then replacing with transparent systems. Trump is getting an eye-full from the inside out at how widespread corruption is in government. It is so corrupt that without discernment most of us are just pawns in the processes of elections. The key to discernment is to not assume you already know what is going on, but to withhold your own preference until you receive insight from the Holy Spirit.

I believe Donald Trump has the heart and the resolve to tackle and reform core issues rather than just continue the platitudes and empty promises of typical politicians.

Many things must be addressed in the Trump years. For example, criminal justice reform is huge, as is reforming our prisons, so that they truly are rehabilitation centers and not just punishment centers that turn the temporarily misbehaving into lifetime misbehaver. Our inner cities are often essentially a backwash of prison toxicity, and the assignment of "fixing" inner cities is directly tied into prison reform, sentencing reform and criminal targeting reform.

I saw a prophetic quote from the recently passed Kim Clement regarding this election that said to the effect, "I will fool the people because the man I choose will not be a praying man when he goes in, but will become one when he is there."

#2 - Upgrade the Economy

The "Cyrus anointing" being released on Trump will allow him to fix supposedly unfixable matters of our national economy, as well as heal aspects of the global economy. Though the following doesn't necessarily all equate to a healthy economy I believe that when President Trump comes into power there will be a greatly stimulated economy just by the accompanied anointing being sent on him. I believe we will see the Dow Jones go quickly to 21,000. I heard that the "bubble" doesn't have to pop but the air can be "folded" out of the bubble. I believe during his presidency that true unemployment will go down to an unheard of 3%. I say "true unemployment" because much of todays unemployment rate does not take into consideration the millions that have already given up on finding work. (Photo via Pixabay)

Trump will have a plan to Rebuild America and it will be great for jobs and great for the economy. I believe he has a goal for producing 25 million jobs in ten years and that the Lord is going to so bless it that there will end up being 30 million new jobs in 8 years. I think we will see the greatest economic boom in United States history and innovation and trade is going to explode. Against many prognostications, the USA and China will make great business deals that will positively affect both nations and the world itself.

Beyond the above mentioned upgrades, there will be the identifying of systemic weakness to our economic engine including its susceptibility to being manipulated by the traditional manipulators of world economies. These have had a curtain from behind which they have operated and that curtain must and will be systemically identified and removed with a new transparency built-in. God has been surprising even world economic manipulators with His sovereign moves, but things must be reformed for long-term solvency. The archangel of the mountain of economy has been activated for this time, and what is impossible with man will be possible with God.

#3- Upgrade the Media

The past election showed us perhaps better than ever the need for reform in media, and much change will now come of necessity for media agencies that want to survive. Beyond that, Trump will have an assignment to reform or disband the White House Press-corps who are almost in their entirety under a political agenda and are not serving the people with any kind of objectivity. The identifying and exposing of corrupting influences in media is a necessary assignment and one that this president will be courageous enough to step into. It is not entirely his assignment to reform media, but Trump will instigate and inspire reformation changes that will reverberate in everything having to do with news media. This will be the best of times for those who understand the need to bring a well-thought through Kingdom media outlet.

The Church's Role

It becomes important for the Church not to expect President Trump to accomplish all the changes that need to come. The Church must continue to work at winning the battle for the hearts and minds of men and women and seeing that as a more effective long-term answer to the moral disaster of abortions. We will know we have accomplished that goal when the nation itself demands that abortion on demand be eliminated. It is arguably defensible in only very limited instances.

The Church must also be so aware of the cultural and racial divide that presently exists in the nation and be about working to eliminate that gulf.

If I can simplify the Church's coming assignment: it is the responsibility to love. Furthermore, we must learn many more facets of love than we presently have. As my wife and I write about in "Rainbow God: The Seven Colors of Love" we must learn to discover what His love looks like in every sphere/mountain of society and begin to display it.

The long-term reformation of America is not just contingent on a president making political moves and creating new laws, but rather it is a vibrant, in love with God, and in love with people – Church. The Church's role stated simply is to discover what God's love looks like in every area of society and then to display that. We can no longer just be known for what we are against. This becomes our personal area of reformation and the Church is about to go through as much shaking and reconstituting as any mountain of society. We are perhaps further from our "as it is in Heaven" ideal than any sphere of society including government, so hang on there for the coming extreme makeover. (Photo via Pixabay)

Conclusion: Enjoy the Incoming Kingdom Tsunamis

Fasten your seat belts and get ready for a wild and exciting ride. Everything is about to change. There will be moves and counter moves and then moves to counter that. The key is to choose ahead of time to enjoy the ride. We tend to be so observant of the enemy that we panic and overreact when we see what He is doing. If we continue that trend we will have "emergency" calls for fasting and praying at almost a continual basis. Rather than getting on that express just stay in unceasing hopeful prayer.

"Prayer" is not supposed to be just the fearful processing of troubling news. Prayer is to be faith, hope and love-inspired conversations with God. We should pray more to agree with God than to disagree with the devil. We want to remain third-heaven conscious and less second-heaven conscious. It is very often irrelevant what the enemy is concocting. For every "Mordecai's gallows" that the enemy is surreptitiously orchestrating, there will be an accompanying "Haman's noose" that it is being prepared for the enemy himself.

We must operate from a foundation of the expectation of good from God. If we have a choice between being cynical or gullible, go with gullible. That was the mark of Gulliver. It is time for outrageous Kingdom optimism. Everything will be working towards Kingdom advancement as never before in history. A protracted Era of Renaissance in the knowledge of God and His Kingdom, is upon us, and if you keep that uppermost in your own narrative you will find your personal destiny accelerated. (To Subscribe to the Elijah List go here.)
