I Am Defending President Trump

In Daniel chapters 1 through 4, King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon goes from being a wicked ruler to a converted believer in God. This post shares several principles for supporting and even defending President Donald Trump.

The first four chapters of the book of Daniel give us crystal clear examples of why, regardless of how sinful you might perceive President Trump to be, he and his administration is no less a mission field than any other place God sends his choice servants.
.
King Nebuchadnezzar, a desperately wicked and extremely prideful king, who literally threw three innocent children of god into a seven-times hotter, fiery furnace, was actually ultimately blessed by God. How? By and through the very three young men he tried to burn to death, and by one other child of God—Daniel. These four men were among God’s choicest saints of the day.
.
And by the way, did you know that there was a time under the wicked king Darius who threw Daniel in the lions den that after he came out, Daniel said to him, “O king, live for ever”? What was that all about? It is simple. Daniel, though falsely accused and punished by the king, had already forgiven him, and longed for his salvation. Can you honestly say that about president Trump? But I digress.
.
Why did God ultimately bless the evil king Nebuchadnezzar? Again, it is simple. The Sovereign God of the universe who rules over all the realms of mankind (Dan. 4:17), had a plan to glorify Himself, and to also humble and save a wicked ruler.
.
Yet even some of those we assume to be among the most spiritually mature believers and leaders today refuse to have anything whatsoever to do with a president who is absolutely nothing like a pre-conversion Nebuchadnezzar.
.
Saints, prayerfully read and heed your Bibles. God doesn’t need any of our help to rule over the realms of man. Yet He chooses and uses some of His choicest saints in some of the most seemingly precarious and undesirable situations to fulfill His perfect will in this world. And if we are wise, we will not allow this lying, dying world’s fickle philosophies to convince us otherwise.
.
If God is to be true, and every one else a liar (Rom. 3:4), then stop trying to force-feed yourself and others with a patchwork of disjointed Bible verses and personal opinions. The idea that God who is the same, yesterday, today, and forever is suddenly doing something totally different from Scripture just because the name “Trump” is involved is untenable because it is unbiblical.
.
So I’ll settle your concerns once and for all about the title of this writing. I AM DEFENDING PRESIDENT TRUMP. How?
.
I am defending President Trump in as much as President Trump is a living soul in need of salvation just like anyone else. I am defending President Trump in as much as he is the man God currently has in the highest office of the land, and one of those men I am instructed by God to pray FOR, not against (2 Tim. 2:1-4).
 
And in light of the many ridiculously evil and hateful comments I have heard today celebrating the fact that President Trump and First Lady Melania tested positive for COVID, I am defending President Trump on the basis of Proverbs 24:17-18, which reads…
.


“Do not rejoice when your enemy falls, And do not let your heart be glad when he stumbles; or the LORD will see [it] and be displeased, And turn His anger away from him” (Prov. 24:17-18).

If God wants to punish someone, let Him do so. He doesn’t need your help or cheers. And he may not be punishing but actually humbling and thus blessing the Trumps even as we speak. We literally do not know what God is doing with their COVID diagnosis.
.
And most importantly, I am defending President Trump because I am defending the glorious God who is in the heavens who does whatever He pleases, who for now is even using President Trump for His glory and for our good. But the biblical subject of this writing is King Nebuchadnezzar. So I’ll let that once wicked king tell us in his own Spirit-filled words what I am truly defending—words which I often wonder how many Christians even imagine could ever be associated with a man like President Trump. Daniel 4:34-35 says…

“But at the end of that period, I, Nebuchadnezzar, raised my eyes toward heaven and my reason returned to me, and I blessed the Most High and praised and honored Him who lives forever; For His dominion is an everlasting dominion, And His kingdom [endures] from generation to generation. All the inhabitants of the earth are accounted as nothing, But He does according to His will in the host of heaven And [among] the inhabitants of earth; And no one can ward off His hand or say to Him, ‘What have You done?’”

So if God were to remove President Trump from office, or if he were to give President Trump four more years, either way, will you say to God, “What have You done?” Or will you be able to say from an honest heart, the depths of which ONLY GOD KNOWS, that “Thy will be done”?
.
I pray the Lord deliver this generation from, what the late Dr. Ravi Zacharias called, “listening with the eyes and thinking with the feelings,” so that we can truly let the word of God give us the best perspective and let it have the final say about Trump and about everything else. Please pray for the Trumps’ recoveries, for this presidency, but most importantly for their souls.
.
God bless, beloved.
