Donald Trump and the Heroes of the New American Revolution
We shed a few tears while watching Monday’s inauguration of Donald Trump as the 47th president of the United States. He is only the second chief executive in our history to serve two non-consecutive terms.
The first was Grover Cleveland who led the nation 1885-89 and and 1893-97. Upon leaving the White House the first time, his wife Francis remarked, “We are coming back four years from today.“
She was right–but Cleveland’s second term did not fair well.
There is greater optimism for Donald’s Trump return. He successfully achieved the greatest political comeback in U.S. history against a hostile media and government lawfare against him. It was an amazing accomplishment.
But there are many other heroes behind this new American Revolution.
The Baptism Revival
In the closing chapter of my autobiography, One Small Life, I analyze the messages of Israel’s greatest prophets–Isaiah and Jeremiah.
Jeremiah prophesied during a time of terminal judgment. He focused on the negative–the sins of a “falling nation.” Isaiah preached repentance also, but in the the second half of his book he gloried in the positive–God’s revival power and Eternal Kingdom.
Both prophets remind me of the parable of the wheat and the weeds (tares). Jesus said both evil and revival would grow simultaneously during the last days. I write often about growing evil to incite us to prayer and action. But let’s focus today on the positive (wheat).
