The Electoral College votes were officially confirmed by Congress last week, making Joe Biden the official next president of the United States. But it was after much disruption as Trump supporting rioters broke violently into Capitol grounds and stopped Congress from confirming Biden. I was disheartened to see President Trump doing nothing to stop the violent insurrection and even giving loving praise to his supporters there. His public statements even encouraged the violence when he told his supporters, “If you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore.”

Unfortunately, too many people believe everything Trump says and blindly support him. The insurrection caused the loss of life for a handful of people, including some law enforcement officers, but Congress came back in the evening to complete the confirmation after control was restored.

The Electoral College votes stood as they were certified by the states in December last year – Biden has 306 and Trump has 232. If you recall the original post, I noted what God was trying to say with the numbers 306 and 232, namely that Trump’s 232 linked him to Satan.

And now, I see the Lord brought that number back to my attention in this process of governmental control, and is reaffirming what I stated about its meaning. The House of Representatives voted to impeach Trump for a second time, a historical first, and the vote came to be 232 for impeachment, which included 222 Democrats and 10 Republicans (Trump’s political party), and 197 ‘no’ votes and 4 abstaining from voting, which were all Republican[6.18.1].

The number 232 for impeachment again affirms Trump’s link to be unrighteous and an example of Satan, rather than righteousness. Yet so many believers continue to back him up. I even saw there were two Jewish women blowing shofars at the protests amongst the swarm of far-right supporters holding up Trump flags[6.19.1], many belonging to white supremist, anti-government, and other extremist groups.

I can see that many believers who continue to support Trump, like the Jewish women at the protests, are well-meaning people who truly believe there is great corruption in the government and that the 2020 election was rigged, but as I stated in the previous posts, God’s People have lost their discernment and cannot make righteous judgment.

I do not claim there is no corruption in the government, but I would say there is the same amount of corruption everywhere else, including in the church and other religions. The lies and deceptions of the enemy have prevailed much over the people, but it is not how Trump, Qanon, and other sources of fake news and misinformation have told. Untrustworthy sources have blown things out of proportion and given lies and faked evidence to support it. Some of it coming from false spiritual guidance from preachers influenced by their demons.

Those who consider themselves faithful believers and servants of the Lord, yet continue to support Trump and the agenda of untrustworthy sources, should be especially dismayed. Can you now see how your eyes have darkened, making your bodies full of darkness? (Matthew 6:23; Luke 11:34)

Many criticized the second impeachment of Trump, because it does not help unity and peace for the country, and it does little to change the remaining few days of his presidency. But those who see what is right will understand that impeaching Trump now is an issue of accountability and the holding up of leaders to higher standards.

Trump is a wealthy man who is used to getting his way, and used to getting out of trouble with little consequence. Those who truly know the Lord, know that He will not let His own believers sin without consequence, for He reproves and corrects those He loves as true children and heirs for the improvement of our virtue (Hebrews 12:7). This is the discipline of the Lord, and if you do not have any such reproof then you are either perfected already or illegitimate children and do not belong to the Lord (Hebrews 12:7-8).

This in no way denies love for Trump or others who continually live in sin and darkness. I can certainly forgive Trump for his bad behaviors, but over the decades that I have seen of his public image, I’ve not seen his character change.

That does not change God’s love for him as far as the gospel goes, but that is a separate issue and mainly deals with the guarantee of atonement for the next life, through no works of sanctification of our own (Ephesians 2:8-9; Romans 3:19-30; 5:15-16, 6:23, 11:6; Titus 3:5-7), other than public acknowledgment of faith and loyalty to Christ (see The True Gospel and Imposters for details).

In this life, most of us have works of improvement to do, and it is for this the Lord guides, reproves, and punishes us - so we may share in His holiness and be trained in righteousness and the peaceful fruits of the Spirit, of which are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Hebrews 12:10-11; Galatians 5:22).

Christian leaders who cannot abide in such fruits and righteousness have further work to do in themselves, and should not be given positions of great authority, which is another point in proceeding with a second impeachment. A political historian I saw reporting on the impeachment noted the founding fathers intended the impeachment process to make clear that people of inappropriate morality do not belong in the White House.

May all this help you make righteous judgment in the people and things you support, through Mashiach Yeshua – Christ Jesus. Amen.
