Or.... G-d has plans to show 320 million Americans... that if G-d can take Donald J. Trump by the right hand...... and lead this man to higher and higher levels of understanding...... and wisdom....... and even the gift of prophecy as the Patriarch Jacob / Yacob was led............ then all Americans... and all seven billion residents of this third rock... can begin to understand that if G-d can take Donald Trump by the right hand... .in spite of all of his many, many, many many flaws........ then there is hope for any and all of us! It may be a bit like how G-d chose the Apostle Paul / Rav Shaul.... even before his birth..... allowed him to become such a deeply religious but angry man that he persecuted Christians and compelled them to blaspheme............ and then this same guy has a weird experience..... and becomes one of the most effective witnesses for the strange events surrounding the death, burial land resurrection of Rabbi Yeshua - Jesus - Issa?!
Like most people...... who are all quite complicated if given some freedom...... the nation of Israel is made up of an astonishing range of people whose definition of the term "Jewish" varies greatly. The Orthodox Jewish Rabbis would take considerable risks to ensure that the Jerusalem Third Temple is rebuilt and the words of Ezekiel are literally fulfilled...... Many very "Jewish" Israelis who term themselves Agnostic or Atheist..... would not agree at all .... or perhaps only somewhat.....with the Orthodox Jewish community on the topic of what should be done regarding the Third Temple. Strangely enough....... ancient Jewish writings indicate that a GENTILE......... or somebody who seems like a Gentile will get the ball rolling in regards to the rebuilding of the Third TEmple that is predicted to be operational for a MINIMUM OF one thousand years......(I believe for much, much, much longer than that)! Google the phrase: "Moshiach ben Ephrayim or Moshiach ben Yosef or Messiah son of Joseph" for more information on this theory. http://www.politicalforum.com/relig...wish-people-decades-before-jesus-returns.html Is King David raised up for the Jewish people decades before Jesus returns?
So if god can't convince shyster like Trump to change his hedonistic and criminal behavior then your god has falied? Will any theist be willing to admit failure on the part of their deity? Secondly Saul was a Roman tasked with persecuting Jews, not christians. He was called the "man of the lie" by James, the brother of Jesus, because he claimed that Jesus blasphemed by claiming to be the son of god. No Jew, and certainly not one who had learned the Hebrew scriptures like Jesus had would ever make such a claim. Saul probably invented that blasphemy as a way to persecute the Jews even further.
Revelations 21:22 "And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it." True......... if the coming down of the Holy City.... (whatever exactly that means) .. is to happen somewhere around the 3030 year mark, (3 metaphorical days from the death burial and resurrection of Messiah / Moshiach), then it sure does seem that there will be a shift in the methods of worship from what is described in Ezekiel 40 - 48. That would make sense....... but that does not mean that the colossal structure, the New Jerusalem, doesn't fit over and on top of the Ezekiel 40 - 48 Jerusalem Third TEmple complex. I take these verses literally but I could be wrong and the vision could well be about something that is seen in a higher dimension of space - time. A number of near death experiencers have been shown a Holy City already existing, but it exists in dimensions of space - time that are invisible to us humans so far. The following verse puts the timing for this to be around the 3030 C. E. mark or later. Revelation 20:3 "And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, "And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season." https://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/rev/21/1/s_1188001 Revelation 21:2 "And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband." Near death experiencer Ariela Solsol Pereira was also shown the Holy City. So were a number of other near death experiencers. There could well be more than one New Jerusalem for more than one group of people....... I am not sure if these near death experiencers saw the same thing as seen by John of Patmos? http://www.near-death.com/science/research/city-of-light.html The City of Light and the Near-Death Experience It would make sense that a time would be coming when the death of animals would no longer be necessary but...... Ezekiel 40 - 48 have never been fulfilled so I believe firmly that if Rabbi Yeshua - Jesus was here he would tell us that every word in those chapters will come to pass..... and I think pretty soon!
You do have a point that Paul / Rav Shaul was actually persecuting Jews....... who regarded Rabbi Yeshua - Jesus as Moshiach ben Ephrayim and/ or Moshiach ben David. So......Derideo_Te..... if Rabbi Yeshua - Jesus actually uttered the following words....... that were shown to a near death experiencer... then in your opinion would he have been guilty of blasphemy and somewhat deserving of death? http://www.thomastwin.com/6 A Thomas background.html
My dad, Robert Tait was both schizophrenic as well as manic-depressive. As they say.... the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree. We have a friend here who I suspect is on one level a psychological profiler for the NSA - CIA..... if you talked him into assessing DennisTate, he would be very accurate..... and I would not be offended by his assessment. I have psychologically profiled him as one of the most trustable and dependable men, (at least I think he is a guy)?????? .... that I have ever met online....... and it is on my mind to attempt to manoeuvre him into a position of serious power / responsibility / wealth and control over USA politics....... and I will NOT be asking his permission to do this..... I will be doing it in the sneaky, devious manner in which we crazy people can often come up with............. quite naturally. http://www.politicalforum.com/opini...-us-set-him-up-office-potus-early-2016-a.html Should AboveAlpha allow us to set him up for the office of POTUS as early as 2016? .....Based on AA's posts would you advise him to consider becoming POTUS?Voters 18. You have already voted on this poll Yes.... he is obviously well informed on many important issues. 10............55.56% No.... he is too honest!

To a degree........ you are correct...... if G-d cannot lead and guide President Elect Donald Trump to an amazing level of wisdom and discernment in a similar league to that of ancient King Solomon of Israel then yes........ it will be to some degree because G-d / HaShem / YHWH failed to raise Mr. Trump up to the level of wisdom and discernment that Messiah Yeshua - Jesus - Issa wishes to bestow on him.......... and quite quickly actually. The man has been perfectly prepared both genetically..... as well as his wealth of experience in the business world as well as.......... http://macarthur.charismanews.com/p...for-secretary-of-state-might-be-a-genius-move Why Picking Mitt Romney for Secretary of State Might Be a Genius Move G-d / HaShem / YHWH / The G-d of Abraham.... is rather used to failing to get what He / She really wants out of people though! 1Kings 19:9 ¶ "And he came thither unto a cave, and lodged there; and, behold, the word of the LORD came to him, and he said unto him, What doest thou here, Elijah?" Mt. Horeb..... .was NOT the location that G-d had chosen for his servant the Prophet Elijah....... like me with Hillary........ Elijah was still filled with fear............ The manner in which Queen Jezebel had gotten all those sons of the prophets murdered........ might not have been the quickest and most painless possible...........
That is imposing a modern spin on the term "son of god". What it mean't back then was blasphemy. James was adamement that Jesus never made any such claim so why would anyone believe Saul who (a) never met Jesus and (b) was trying to destroy Judiaism by fair means or foul rather than Jesus's own brother who, by all accounts, was a devout Jew?
Trump is a congenital liar and no, his IQ is nowhere near 156 although his BSQ is off the charts, especially when it comes to himself.
The late Prophet Kim Clement gave an amazing message about his destiny back in 2007 that sure is on track to be fulfilled! http://www.charismanews.com/opinion...id:653591&utm_campaign=CNO daily - 2016-12-07 The Most Shocking Prophecy About America's Next 8 Years
New Jerusalem is spiritual. The tribulation was over with the fall of Masada. - - - Updated - - - I agree. His IQ is more in the range of 110.
I been saying the same thing too. Guess I'm a profit. Can you imagine a world where America has a pro-American leader and plays for reals? I can, and so could this guy. No more "managed decline" policy for us.
Many Jewish Rabbi's and scholars have a feeling that President Trump has been given America due to his destiny to assist P. M. Benjamin Netanyahu in the rebuilding of the Jerusalem Third Temple. I think that they are correct!

Please keep in mind that those authors of the Bible were incredibly stupid - as these Brainiacs actually thought that slavery was cool, killing gays was the way to go, that donkeys/snakes/burning-bushes/invisible-dead-guys can actually talk, etc. If people idolize/follow/admire incredibly stupid people, does that make those people incredibly stupid as well?.....inquiring minds want to know.
Progressive Revelation just means that men, mortal men, learned and grew intellectually over time, and their religious teachings reflect that. No magic invisible man in the sky is needed to explain it. PS I've always admired how level-headed you are in your posts over the years - as I myself admit that I can get a little extreme at times.
