All They That Were Incensed Against Thee

There are a lot of people attacking President Trump right now. This has gone beyond the marring of the servant prophesied in Isaiah 52. These attacks are extremely vicious, mean, and beyond personal, and many of them are now coming from people who used to stand beside him. I'm watching these people every day, on social media, on the TV, everywhere. I won't name their names, because I don't do that. You'll know who they are. They are very vocal and they are very adamant. They used to support him, and now they don't. He betrayed us, they say. He lied to us. He told us one thing and did something else. He caused five dollar gas and six dollar diesel, and how dare he do that? He promised us no more forever wars. That's the kind of thing they're saying against him. They are incensed against him. And the prophet Isaiah saw them coming...

Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish. (Isaiah 41:11)

Isaiah wrote those words about Cyrus, the pagan king who sent the Jews home from Babylon. And Cyrus did face opposition. But he was never opposed by his own people. The people incensed against Trump are the ones who worked with him, his own supporters, in his own country. That tells me Isaiah was looking well past the days of Cyrus, to a servant in our own day. I know that for the moment many of you will not agree with me that Isaiah is talking about Trump. That's all right. I have explained in my book, and in other articles and blog posts on this website, that Trump is prophesied of in the scriptures in several places. So we need to get a little background first, who this servant is and how God called him, and then I'll come back and show you what Isaiah says is going to happen to those who are incensed against him.

The Righteous Man from the East

Cyrus, the great pagan king who sent Israel back to Jerusalem and helped them rebuild the temple, is a type and shadow of Donald Trump. What Cyrus did was a monumental event. He was a pagan king. He was not a member of the house of Israel at all, and he did not believe their traditions. Yet Isaiah foresaw him about 150 years before he did what he did, and he took the Jews back to Jerusalem from Babylon and helped them build the temple. He took about 50,000 people. I have shown in my book, in a lot more detail than I can give here, that Trump is going to do the same thing, but on a much bigger scale. Millions and millions of Jews will be brought back to Jerusalem. Now look at what Isaiah says in chapter 41...

Who raised up the righteous man from the east, called him to his foot, gave the nations before him, and made him rule over kings? he gave them as the dust to his sword, and as driven stubble to his bow. (Isaiah 41:2)

Almost the entire chapter talks about this servant, the man from the east. I am proposing that there are two fulfillments of this. There is a type and shadow that came about 150 years after Isaiah, and there is a major one in the future. God raised up the righteous man from the east. God called him righteous. Now, most people do not think of Trump as righteous. They think of him as very evil and immoral and everything else. Yet the reality is, he's going to get a calling from God, and everything is going to change, just like it did for Cyrus. He's going to be changed. He's going to be healed, and he will become an extremely righteous man.

Cyrus came from the east, and Trump technically isn't from the east. But remember, this is a type and shadow. And God "called him to his foot." The Oxford Bible renders that as being summoned to service. God summoned him. He called him to serve the house of Israel and to do great things. And here is what's interesting. God "gave the nations before him, and made him rule over kings." God is going to give Trump the nations before him. He's going to have power over the nations. He's going to rule over kings. He is the one who will rule the nations in the future, and this cannot be stopped. You can fight it all you want. I'm giving you prophecy, and showing you in scripture what's coming, so that you won't fight against what God is doing.

And God "gave them as the dust to his sword, and as driven stubble to his bow." He has a weapon, and I find that phrase about the bow very interesting. In the Book of Revelation, the first horseman comes forth riding on a horse, with a crown given to him and a bow in his hand...

And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. (Revelation 6:2)

They carry the same weapon. The Oxford Bible says he makes them like dust with his sword and like driven stubble with his bow. Dust can't stand before a sword. A sword cuts through that easily. Stubble can't stand before the bow. And that is what Trump is doing, and what he will do.

A Ravenous Bird from the East

Isaiah comes back to this same man a few chapters later...

Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it. Hearken unto me, ye stouthearted, that are far from righteousness: I bring near my righteousness; it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not tarry: and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory. (Isaiah 46:11–13)

If you look at the footnote in your scriptures for "ravenous bird," it says it is a bird of prey, a symbol of Cyrus and his rapid conquest. That's what the ravenous bird means. God is calling Cyrus from the east, the man that executes His counsel from a far country. Trump is over here in the United States. He's far away from them. And God says, I have spoken it, I will bring it to pass, I have purposed it, I will do it. Then He turns and warns the people. "Hearken unto me, ye stouthearted, that are far from righteousness." Who are the stouthearted? All of you who are fighting against him. In this case, their hearts are stout against the things of God and against God's plan. And the Lord says He will bring His righteousness near, and His salvation will not tarry, and He will place salvation in Zion for Israel. He is going to do this. You cannot stop it. And I'm warning you about what will happen if you try.

A Light to the Gentiles

Isaiah says the same kind of thing about this servant in chapter 49...

It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth. (Isaiah 49:6)

I love that phrase, "a light to the Gentiles," because Isaiah prophesies the same thing in chapter 42...

I the Lord have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles. (Isaiah 42:6)

I know that the Church, and just about everybody else, reads "a light to the Gentiles" as pointing to the Messiah. And that is what's different about what I'm doing here. I'm claiming that Trump is the appointed light. He's the banner, the ensign, the one the Gentiles will gather to. He's the one the Gentiles will seek, the greater light they shall see. I know that's controversial, but I believe it is actually the more accurate reading of the text. Trump is acting under the appointment of the Messiah. No one is saved without Jesus Christ. But Christ has servants, and He always has. Enoch, Moses, Isaiah, Peter, Joseph Smith, every one of them performed great works under His hand, and none of them could do anything without the power of Jesus Christ. God has always used mortal servants to perform His work. And whatever light Trump gives to the world, it comes because of Jesus Christ.

Thou Art My Servant

Now back to Isaiah 41, to the verses that lead right into the promise about those who are incensed...

But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend. Thou whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called thee from the chief men thereof, and said unto thee, Thou art my servant; I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away. Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. (Isaiah 41:8–10)

Somebody is going to read verse eight and say, there it is, the servant is Israel, not Trump. But Isaiah uses that phrase, "thou, Israel, art my servant," many times. It's a common theme all through his writings. He is pointing out that God made a covenant with Israel, with Jacob, many years before, and that whoever is doing the action in these passages is acting under that covenant. They are His servant. Whether it's the entire house of Israel, or one of the prophets, or even Donald Trump himself, they are acting and performing the actions of that covenant. So the use of that name here is very poignant and very powerful, so that people will recognize what's going on. And then look at verse nine. God says, I have taken you from the far ends of the earth, and from among the chief men. From among the rich men, the powerful, the well known, I have taken you out of them and called you. "Thou art my servant." He is telling Trump, you are my servant, I have chosen you, and I have not cast you away.

And then He tells him, fear not, for I am with thee. Be not dismayed. I will strengthen thee, I will help thee. He is up against tremendous opposition, unlike anyone in history. Now obviously, this is different from what Jesus Christ suffered. Christ suffered opposition from His own people, and He suffered the greatest opposition of all time, which was overcoming sin and death. I'm not denying that and I'm not dismissing that. Nothing compares to that. But what Trump is suffering is opposition from millions upon millions of people, and God says, "I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness."

Cyrus Was Never Opposed Like This

Right after that promise comes verse eleven, the one I started with. "All they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded." I said at the beginning that Cyrus was never opposed by his own people, and scripture bears that out. Ezra records the opposition he did face...

Then the people of the land weakened the hands of the people of Judah, and troubled them in building, And hired counsellors against them, to frustrate their purpose, all the days of Cyrus king of Persia, even until the reign of Darius king of Persia. (Ezra 4:4–5)

But who was opposing him? It was the people living around Judah, the ones who wanted a part in building the temple and were turned away. It was not his own people. We have no record of the Persians rising up against their king and questioning his motives for sending the Jews home. Now look at who is incensed against Trump. The people who worked with him. His own supporters, in his own country. They are the ones fighting him now and are so angry with him. Whatever opposition Cyrus faced in his time, it is nothing compared to what Trump is facing. So Isaiah was not only talking about Cyrus. He was talking about the future. And he tells us what happens next...

Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought. For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee. (Isaiah 41:12–13)

They can be as incensed as they want, but something is coming. Trump is going to have power given to him from God. Remember verse nine. "Thou art my servant; I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away." And once that calling comes, remember verse two. God "gave the nations before him, and made him rule over kings." That is what's coming. All these people who are so incensed, making all this noise and all this ruckus, are going to be as nothing. "Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them." They will disappear. Even those who contended with him, those who war against him, "shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought." Remember the sword against the dust, and the bow against the stubble. They will be as nothing.

Now I want to be very clear about something. I don't wish harm on anybody. These are Isaiah's words, not mine. When Isaiah says they "shall perish" and "shall be as nothing," what I see coming is that their voices will be gone. You'll go looking for their names and you won't find them. The influence they have now, the following they are building, the platforms they are using against him, all of it will fade away until it is a thing of nought.

Just Watch

I wanted to write this because I'm watching people turn on him all over the place. I'm watching friends of mine turn, people I have talked with many, many times about what I see, and they have gone against me too. I see people who supposedly know their scriptures, and they cannot see this. They claim I'm delusional. They claim I'm crazy. They claim all kinds of things. So just wait. Just watch, and see what happens. "They shall be ashamed and confounded; they shall be as nothing." Stunning results are coming. Stunning consequences are coming.

So the whole point of this article is a warning to those who are angry and incensed. Watch what happens. I hope people recognize what is going on here. We are witnessing prophecy, right now, and we are watching these words be fulfilled. As soon as he receives his calling, you won't find the names of these influencers and famous people who have now decided to turn against him, who are so incensed, and who are trying to gather people around them and build a following. And if you are one of the people who are angry with him right now, you must look beyond the things you have been told and follow the Spirit, and it will tell you the truth.

In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
