Why Do the Nations Rage?
Sometimes, The LORD brings very well known verses of scripture to mind.
Today was one such day. He spoke to me, “Go get your Bible, I have something to show you!”
I wondered which translation — and I was led to the TLV, Tree of Life Version — one that I only have electronically — so I fired up the application.
I was led to Psalms, these verses in particular :-
1-2“Why are the nations in an uproar, and the peoples mutter vanity? The kings of earth set themselves up and rulers conspire together against ADONAI and against His Anointed One:”
6“I have set up My king …..”
8“Ask Me, and I will give the nations as Your inheritance, and the far reaches of the earth as Your possession.” Psalm 2:1-2,6,8 TLV
The words jumped out at me from the screen, the words I have posted above.
I sensed the sadness in The LORD as I read the first part — why do the nations gather together to rage, persecute, riot, uproar against Israel, and against Christians?
These questions all went through my mind as I read the passage again and again.
Why? Why?
The LORD impressed upon me that it’s all part of the end times falling away and scenario.
The preparation for the coming of the Man of Sin, the Antichrist, and his ‘reign’ on earth.
I was turning this over, reconciling what we see happening in the world today with the Biblical Prophecy. It all fits together in line with the Word of God.
But LORD, why are you showing me?
Then The LORD directed me to the next phrase in verse 6 where He says, “I have set up my king . . .”
DJT
Immediately, I thought of DJT [Donald J. Trump], he who is imperfect in so many ways — but perfect in so many other ways.
He’s not a politician! He’s always lived his life out loud, where everyone can see him.
He’s not a king, more of a New York street-fighter.
He’s known all the politicians and their little secrets for thirty years — no wonder they none of them really like him, he knows them too well! Not one of their manufactured faults or scandals has ‘stuck’ to him — he’s Teflon on speed!
The LORD interrupted my little reverie asking, “What does My Word say about the last days?”
I was recalled to Daniel’s words of ‘a time, and times, and half a time’ (Daniel 7:25), which I’ve always understood to refer to the three and a half years of good times, followed by three and a half years of darkest tribulation.
The LORD then impressed upon me by revelation, that in today’s world, that means that DJT is coming back — but for just three and a half ‘good years’.
That’s when The LORD then took me to verse 8, “Ask of me . . .” and He showed me the incredible favour on Trump’s Presidency for the last stint.
But why only three and a half good years?
The LORD showed me considerable chaos for the first six months of Trump’s Final Term.
After that, peace and prosperity for the rest of his term!
This will end when he hands his presidency over to another — whom The LORD hasn’t revealed to me — for “the time of troubles”.
The next president coming after Trump, I believe, will not be the Antichrist — but will be his lackey!
I believe the Antichrist will begin to rise during the next few years, but he will not be revealed as such until after Trump hands over.
He,he Antichrist, will rise quietly, with great charisma and charm, and growing popularity.
The LORD has not shown me anything more about him — age, nationality, public position — nothing!
But he will be as The Bible predicts and shall set himself up in Jerusalem!
This is so fascinating and interesting. I’m shaking inside as I pen these words.
I’m cautious about releasing this as it seems so definitive. What have I just ‘seen’, or prophesied?
We only see in part and prophesy in part, and even then we only see in a glass darkly! (1 Corinthians 13:9, 1 Corinthians 13:12)
What I’ve written lines up with the Word of God.
It also lines up with what’s going on in the world today.
Written in reverential fear and trembling.
“He shall speak pompous words against the Most High, shall persecute the saints of the Most High, and shall intend to change times and law. Then the saints shall be given into his hand for a time and times and half a time.” Daniel 7:25. [A time and times and half a time = 1+2+½=3½ years.]

Chris Bennett came to salvation in 1962 but didn’t begin ministry until 2007 — a late-comer! Now mandated by The LORD to prophesy and open old wells of revival in the U.K., but especially in Wales. He has also operated Healing Rooms, and worked with deliverance teams, all with his wife, Linda. Happily now doing whatever The LORD asks of them! Founder, with wife Linda, of their ministry The Upper Room Encounter.
Matthew 24:36 – “However, no one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself. Only the Father knows.”
Matthew 45:52 – 45 “Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of the servants in his household to give them their food at the proper time? 46 It will be good for that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns. 47 Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions. 48 But suppose that servant is wicked and says to himself, ‘My master is staying away a long time,’ 49 and he then begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards. 50 The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of. 51 He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.“
Desperately clear instruction that being a head-servant of the Lord means that a higher standard is applied when minding His household…”no one knows the day or hour”…
Come on, my brother Chris, you are ON IT today. First I read about the prophets and the politicians. Then the Lord said you must read the word that connects to that word..so ‘The LORD then impressed upon me by revelation, that in today’s world, that means that DJT is coming back — but for just three and a half ‘good years’.’ WHOA! “He says, “I have set up my king. He’s not a politician! He’s always lived his life out loud, where everyone can see him. This word will be in a frame on my desk as I hold my ground in intercession for DJT. Thank you, Chris. The KING has spoken. God bless you, my friend, Sandi.. .
Amen
