On January 20 (January 21 AEDT), Donald Trump will be sworn in as the 45th President of the United States of America as the billionaire businessman will officially take his oath of office in a Presidential Inauguration which has a long history dating right back to the United States' first president, George Washington.
Personally, I think Donald Trump was chosen by God!
Here is my reason:
In the early 500s BCE—roughly 2,500 years ago—the Babylonian empire destroyed the temple in Jerusalem and left the city in charred ruins. Babylon also took some of Israel’s leaders into exile in Babylon (modern-day Iraq). The experience proved treacherous. The prophet Ezekiel heard this exilic threnody: “Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost; we are cut off completely".
By mid-century, however, everything changed. Babylon fell to Persia, thanks to Cyrus the Great. The change was so cataclysmic that a prophet, in Isaiah 45:1, dared to call the founder of the Persian Empire, Cyrus, God’s messiah—a term used for Israel’s own kings:
Thus says the LORD to his anointed [messiah], to Cyrus, whose right hand I have grasped to subdue nations before him and strip kings of their robes, to open doors before him— and the gates shall not be closed.
Is this a spot-on description of Donald Trump? Will he take up the ancient role of Cyrus the Great and subdue nations, stripping prime ministers and presidents of their robes (metaphorically speaking)?
God once chose a flawed and foreign ruler to shake up the world. Can we say God is now doing that with Donald Trump? Will the president of the United States shake up the world and turn it to rights? If the questions gets positive answers, then, I guess I can say, God did chooses Donald Trump himself.
