Jesus predicted Donald Trump in Matthew 24:24:
“False messiahs will appear so as to deceive even The Elect.”
If white Evangelicals are The Elect (those chosen by God), then it is they who are the deceived in this passage, and Mr. Trump is the deceiver.
After scraping seven of ten commandments from the tablets, Evangelicals actually embraced a man with numerous unflattering titles, such as:
Infinite & Endless Liar
Hourly Promise Breaker
Re-Offending Adulterer
Ill-Parented Vulgarian
Cream Faced Harpy
Great Veined Ruffian
Sulky Misanthrope
Owner Of Few Good Qualities
Conspiracy Theorist Extraordinaire
Three-Inch King
Knot-Pated Goon
Slenderly Educated Boy-Man
Stable Cheat
Sin Trader
Pigeon Livered Scold
Unmannerly Thug
General Offender
Master of Foul Speech
Rust-Plated Racist
Cunning White Supremacist
Christian Pretender
Rank Islamophobe
Closet Anti-Semite
Insurrectionist
To those among The Elect who say it is impossible that The Elect can be deceived, consider how The Elect, with God on their side, have been deceived in centuries past:
by embracing the execution of heretics
by embracing the execution of apostates
by embracing the execution of Jews
by embracing the execution of Muslims
by embracing the execution of ‘witches’
by embracing the execution of slaves
by embracing the execution of ‘savages’
by embracing the execution of fellow Christians
These extremes, and many lesser deceptions, argue that The Elect can indeed be misled.
Could you be wrong right now Mr. and Mrs. Evangelical? Could you be wrong about your continued support for the Chosen One, D. J. Trump? If Jesus warned that even The Elect can be deceived, do you really want to say you cannot be wrong? Please consider that you could be wrong, that you were wrong, and wrong all along.
