Candidate Musing, Could a Revival be Coming?

Just sayin' out of something interesting ...Has anyone noticed how much Donald Trump looks like Caesar Augustus and Trump's daughter, Ivanka, looks like Augustus' daughter, Julia?  Here are a few images I pulled off the internet the other day to compare.  To me, Trump and his daughter, Invanka look Claudian.

  

I found some more statues of Cesar Augustus that reminded me of Trump. Granted, politicians and leaders do a lot of pointing but the bottom 2 are pretty interesting in that the finger held up is very Trump and Cesar Augustus was commemorated in a statue with the same pointing hand. 









Comparing Trump's similarities to Augustus is not me saying that I think he is going to be a king, but that he is demonstrating strong leadership qualities. All I thought of Trump before this campaign was that he was a rich playboy that had a funny hairdo. When I saw the statue of Augustus standing with the little cupid, which is the Roman god Venus' son, at his feet, I read that his patron God was Venus. His great uncle, Julius Caesar claimed to be descendant of her. When I read about Venus, this is what she stood for in the Roman culture: love, beauty, sex, fertility, prosperity and desire. Hmmm, that sounds a lot like Trump too. Could be what some people may find distasteful about him, 3 marriages with "trophy wives", cheated on his wives, super wealthy etc. Well Augustus had 3 wives, cheated on them and was very wealthy but he was a great leader and made Rome very powerful. He used his vast wealth to help the people and he forgave a lot of taxes so they could build their farms and business again. He was extremely popular with the people and was a military genius. He made Rome's armies very strong and was the first to give their soldiers the benefit of retirement.  He really didn't want the position, but the people made him the first Emperor of Rome.  


Rome had been a republic for about 500 years and it was failing and their was lots of crime and financial troubles.  Under his rule he brought peace and prosperity to the nation.  I realized you don't have to be sexually moral to be noble and care for a country.  He did see that the extreme sexual immorality of the ruling class was destroying the people.  He did try to legislate a moral reform, but was unsuccessful.     I found this article very interesting and informative:

After reading this article I realized what Augustus did for Rome, aided in the early spread of the Gospel. He united the empire, calmed the civil unrest and made Rome great. Our country is in a lot of civil unrest and disillusionment with how the government is being run.  
Lots of crime going on like school shootings and illegal immigrants.  What Trump is proposing is a change of many government policies, a reformation of how things are done.  Almost like a reset in our country to how the founding fathers of our nation intended it to be.  He is getting a lot of flack because of this, saying it can't be done.  So far, he is the most popular candidate, but the news people are reluctant to report this.  His proposals will be upsetting a lot of apple carts in Washington.  My thoughts are if he is able to do it, and he is more sympathetic to Christianity, than many of our recent administrations in Washington, this could be the environment for a revival. A reset politically and in that environment a reset spiritually to go back to how Christianity was originally under the Apostles that obeyed Christ's teachings.


 Many of the false prophets of the organized religions here are saying that America will go to financial doom and fall apart and will have to join with the other Western countries and that will be the catalyst for the world wide government and bring the end.  They say that America is not in the end time prophecies of the Bible.  We believe differently.  We see America as the descendants of Rome as most people's ancestors came from Europe and more importantly politically.  The founding fathers of this nation emulated ancient Rome when it was a republic before it became an empire.  We see America as the Iron mixed with Clay.  It will become very powerful militarily and financially, but mixed with clay, all the immigrants that have come here from all over the world. We feel that America will be the leader in the unifying of the Western nations that will eventually form the world wide government.  We don't think that if Trump wins the presidential election that he is the Antichrist but that he is paving the way for him.  We feel the leader of the Western union of nations will use false Christianity to unify the people to come against the powers of Islam.  Satan will be the orchestrator of this pitting the "Christians" of the Greco-Roman world, against the Muslims of the "South" and the Confederation will be successful against the Muslims at a great price and the whole world will be unified under the leader of that Confederation.  Once he has gained control he will have no need of Christianity, and any other religion, and will cause a horrible persecution of any one that defies him, and will declare himself God.  If you want more detail on this you can read Rich's article: Two Sides to the Coin of Destiny Stoneless Temple Followship: Two Sides of the Coin of Destiny

We are living in very exciting times and our hearts are heavy for the people of this country and we long to see a revival of the truth, true Christianity, not the misconceptions that have been given to the people in the religious organizations.  We are calling for them to come out and live for Jesus, in these dark times of our country like the school shootings, the threats of ISIS, financial peril of our country, poor leadership, the attempt to take the guns away from the good citizens and the loss of morality in our culture.  Please pray with us for God to have His way and draw his people to Him.
