Summary

Second Coming of Trump Word on the Week 9th November 2024.
This week has witnessed the citizens of the United States of America give a clear mandate to their former President to return to his role, this time with a clear majority of the votes. If things go to plan he will be sworn in as the 47th President of America on the 20th January 2025.
The results flew in the face of all the opinion polls which forecast a contest so evenly balanced that you could not call the result. Whatever agenda they were operating under it proved to be far removed from the truth!
Trump’s mother, Mary Ann McLeod came from Tong a village 4 miles North of Stornoway on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. At the age of 18 she emigrated in 1930 to New York where she married Fred Trump, a property dealer, in 1936. Donald was the eldest of five children. Before she died in August 2000 she said that Donald would not make a good President – He now has a second chance to prove her wrong! He has an uphill struggle!
In the words of a local journalist commenting on the election result; “This is America now. It is a country that sees its authentic self reflected most clearly in the figure of a sexual predator, a racist, a misogynist, a fraudster, a felon, a coup monger, an inveterate liar and a senescent spewer of increasingly deranged and vulgar nonsense.”
Perhaps the journalist allowed himself some licence in his views but there is no doubt a grain of truth to be found in them.
There have been two assignation attempts on Trump in the run-up to the election. He claims that God saved on both occasions and for a purpose.
So what kind of people does God use?
Jacob who cheated his father-in-law Laban; Genesis 30.
Moses who killed the Egyptian; Exodus 2 verse 14.
Rahab the prostitute who lied, giving wrong directions; Joshua 2.
King David murderer by proxy; 2 Samuel 11 verse 14.
King Solomon disobeyed by marrying foreign women; 1 Kings 11.
Apostle Peter who denied knowing Jesus; Matthew 26 verses 69/74.
Apostle Paul was a proxy to Stephen’s murder; Acts 7 verse 58 & 8 verse 3.
We look for a righteous person – there are none (Romans 3 verse 10). God looks for one trusting in Christ and who repents like King David (Psalm 51).
