Pastor Seeks Jesus’ Return Following Election Turmoil
Following the conviction of former President and presumed Republican 2024 presidential nominee Donald Trump on 34 counts of falsifying business records related to a past sex scandal, megachurch pastor Mark Driscoll took to social media with a plea for the return of Jesus before Election Day.
In his post on X, Driscoll, the founding pastor of Trinity Church in Scottsdale, Arizona, expressed a humble request for divine intervention, urging for Jesus to return before November 5.
Despite the fervent support Trump receives from many conservative Christians, Driscoll has been vocal about his belief that politicians cannot solve spiritual problems. In an Instagram post earlier this month, he emphasized the importance of repentance and faith over political allegiance.
Addressing the upcoming 2024 presidential election on TikTok, Driscoll encouraged Christians to approach it with sobriety, acknowledging the shortcomings of both major party candidates. He lamented the absence of younger, more spiritually aligned options, highlighting the challenges faced by believers in navigating the political landscape.
The conviction of Trump, making him the first former U.S. president convicted of a crime, elicited strong reactions from Republican figures. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson condemned the verdict as a “shameful day in American history,” while Rep. Elise Stefanik criticized the justice system, vowing support for Trump’s appeal.
Amid rising tensions in political and cultural discourse, concerns about the potential for civil conflict have surfaced. Conservative commentator Joey Mannarino suggested on X that the country is already in a state of civil war, attributing the unrest to the contentious aftermath of the 2020 election.
The possibility of civil unrest was also voiced by protesters outside Trump Tower in New York City, with some expressing fears of a civil war. Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin echoed these concerns, warning that a Trump conviction could escalate tensions to the point of armed conflict.
In the midst of these anxieties, voices like Driscoll’s advocate for a return to spiritual values and reliance on faith rather than placing hope in political figures or outcomes. As the nation grapples with division and uncertainty, the call for spiritual renewal serves as a beacon of hope for those seeking stability and reconciliation.
If Nixon had no immunity
for trying to cover up a crime HE had not committed, how can Trump have immunity for crimes HE did commit.
I thought the question of presidential immunity was settled with Nixon
Remember him?
Evidently YOU can’t see the forest for the trees!!
Watergate Scandal forced Nixon to Resign to avoid being impeached??
You full of it. Trump “crimes” are hoaxes, made up & political. Statue of Limitations were extended solely to target Trump after democrats saw a brick wall.
Fredericka, President Trump did not commit any crimes.
Greatest Commandment: to love the Lord God with all your heart, soul, and mind.
The time is RIGHT for the SECOND COMING!
No it isn’t! The 2nd Coming happens after the Great Tribulation. During the GRTRIB the world will be perilously close to extinction (Matt 24:22, MK 13:19-20) after the wrath of God is poured out on all unbelievers on the Earth for their rejection of Christ. 2/3 of the world’s population will be destroyed (Rev 9:18-21, 14:9-11) while the last 1/3 will be living on a planet in catastrophic ruin due to the Seal, Trumpet, and Bowl judgments found in Chapters Rev 6:1 – 18:24. The Church, made up of SAVED believers from the time of Christ until the present will not have to remain on the Earth for the Great Tribulation (1Thess 4:13-18). But there will be large numbers of people that will choose to be saved during the Tribulation, but they will suffer VERY great persecution, and most times, death at the hands of the Anti-Christ and False Prophet (Rev 13:1-10). So, NO, we ain’t there yet. But the event of which you speak of can happen anytime between NOW and that Great Tribulation period. It’s called the “Imminent Return of Christ”, “The Blessed Hope” and “The Rapture of the Church” which, as mentioned earlier is described in 1 Thess 4:13-18. It is not the 2nd Coming of Christ described in Rev 19:11 through 20:10. The difference is, at The Rapture Jesus comes to take His Bride, The Church away from a godless Earth ripe for judgment, and only the Church will be seeing Jesus, while at the 2nd Coming the whole planet will see Jesus as He locks up Satan and ushers in a 1000 Year Period under His Reign (Rev 20:1-3) where there will be no more [unprosecuted] crime allowed on the beautifully “refurbished” Earth! The Church is conscripted (Rev 19:11-16) to become Christ’s “immortal” army\police during this 1000 years of law and order! BUT, after those 1000 Years are ended, Satan is allowed to deceive the people around the Earth for one last period of time (its length is UNCERTAIN), and all the people who [stupidly] choose to become servants of Satan instead of Christ will be punished forever along with Satan and his demons and cast into the Lake of Fire (Rev 20:11-15), which is the 2nd Death from which there is no escape for the rebels. They had their chances in the wonderful 1000 Year [Millenium] Reign of Christ to make a free will choice of whom to serve, but they choose Satan anyway. Crazy, right!?! It does not go well for them. We don’t want to be like these people who reject Jesus as Lord of lords and King of kings. The 1000 year Reign will be God’s final proof to the Universe that mankind has never been able to save themselves from succumbing to the power of evil without His help. But as always, most humans will think that they’d rather be the captain of their own eternity. So God let’s them have EXACTLY what they want – an existence without God for eternity. Sadly, it will not be that beautiful eternal life that they imagined it would be, but an unimaginably horrible existence full of eternal regret and pain. God cannot be mocked – EVER!
He nus is always in the lives of his believers and followers.He’ll always be at our side. Never turn away from his children.Trust in him,pray to him and realize he is ALWAYS there.If we truly stand with the belief that he is at our side always we have nothing to EVER FEAR. If we are in the proper state when we leave this place,have no fear,all will be just fine.ever left,Jes
Escuse me Fredricka, but you should pay attention. It is people like you that are tearing this country apart. Trump did not commit any crimes but the government wants to get him before we elect him again or cause enough people like you who do not pay attention to turn away. You go ahead and vote for the worst president in the history of America.(Joe Biden) It won’ be enough. Most Americans can see what the government is doing so open your eyes please before America is gone!
He never left is always in the lives of his believers and followers.He’ll always be at our side. Never turn away from his children.Trust in him,pray to him and realize he is ALWAYS there.If we truly stand with the belief that he is at our side always we have nothing to EVER FEAR. If we are in the proper state when we leave this place,have no fear,all will be just fine he never left,trust in Jesus.
If you earnestly follow the first commandment, then all the others fall into pace.
If you love God with all your heart, then it makes sense that you will actively try to follow all the others, for this demonstrates your love for God.
Note the word try!
We as mere mortals are sinners and easily swayed by temptation when it is convenient to do so. That is why the road to God is such a long and narrow one and why we need Jesus to be our shepherd.
When we stray from the path he has a habit of redirecting us!
Praise The Lord for all his patience, mercy and Grace!
