I’m going to make some partially true statements. They are not false, but they are only partially true because they are incomplete statements. But I need to say them in that way for now. We’ll revisit them after I explain and I’ll make them complete at the end.
It’s not about Trump. It’s not about politics. It’s not even about America.
I couldn’t figure out why I hadn’t heard from God on the state of our nation since the theatrical farce of an inauguration on January 20. What I’ve learned is the Lord wouldn’t bring me discernment on it because my focus would have stayed on that, and that’s not where my focus should be. And the message I received from Him was:
“It’s not about Trump. It’s not about politics. It’s not even about America. It’s about Me.”
It is about a cosmic war that has been ramping up for millennia. It is about a promise made. It is about some names (most of which we cannot pronounce).
At the risk of sounding cliché, the battle over earth is the epic battle of good versus evil. Whether Trump is reinstated and the election fraud is exposed, or covid is exposed for the deception to gain world power, or a myriad of other very important issues are resolved or even addressed, all are very important. But these things are secondary. They are not most important.
The backdrop for my understanding
Josh 24:14-15 (NASU)
“Now, therefore, fear the Lord and serve Him in sincerity and truth; and put away the gods which your fathers served beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the Lord. If it is disagreeable in your sight to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves today whom you will serve: whether the gods which your fathers served which were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living; but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”
This is part of that admonition Joshua gave when he told the Israelites to choose: God or gods.
To be clear, “idol(s)” is found over a hundred times in the Old Testament alone, and not once is it translated from a root word for a deity. Idol is the image created for projecting worship for a deity. There was a process they went through to figuratively open the mouth of the inanimate object created to represent the deity they were worshipping. Idols are inanimate objects. Gods (little g – gods) are deities, breathing spiritual beings from the Heavenly realm.
Idols are the token expression for worship for the deity. The deity itself is the god.
There’s a reason the first commandment is exclusive to the worship of the Supreme God, and the second commandment is forbidding creation of idols. They are not the same thing. Idols and gods are related but not the same.
Exodus 20:2-5 (NASU)
I am the Lord [Jehovah, self-existent, eternal] your God [elohiym – god(s), deities], who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
[First Commandment]: “You shall have no other gods [elohiym – ordinary gods, deities] before Me.”
[Second Commandment]: “You shall not make for yourself an idol [pecel – graven image], or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth.”
It’s this simple: There are other deities, other gods. Don’t worship them. I, Jehovah, am the Supreme God. And also, don’t make graven images used to worship other deities.
“Choose this day…” Joshua is not talking about idols here; he’s talking about gods. These are deities that are worshipped that you and I may call demons or demonic entities. The god of the Ammonites was/is called Moloch. Where have we heard that before? Ah yes, here are a few places….
- In the leaked Hillary Clinton emails when she says she will be “sacrificing a chicken in the backyard to Moloch”.
- Verizon hosted a Moloch Conference for three years in a row.
- AOL developed a new database system and called it Moloch. (They since changed the name and modernized the emblem after all the attention it got in truther circles.)
- Todd Starnes of FoxNews Commentary was fired after references of democrats and Moloch worship.
- The Vatican placed a giant statue of Moloch at their Colosseum entrance.
The martyr Stephen quoted Amos (5:25) when he discoursed the plight of the hardened hearts of the Israelites and how they “carried their pagan gods, the shrine of Moloch, the star of your god Rephan” in Acts 7:43. According to Stephen, the Israelites worshipped these gods during the forty years in the wilderness. Joshua addressed this and said: choose. Will it be gods of the other nations or God of Israel?
The nations of the world rejected the God of creation in lieu of the sons of God who came down and enticed them to sin against the Creator. Their corruption of the earth was so great God chose to destroy it, saving only Noah and his family for their righteousness.
It would only be a short time before the same fate awaited the world again, to borrow from Tolkien, “but the hearts of men are easily corrupted.” Out of another perverse and corrupt population God would select Abram to create a nation exclusive to Him. He would use Abram, later named Abraham, to select a bloodline that would become a nation that worshipped God and not the gods. They would be the example for the world of a people separated unto their Creator. While it began as a bloodline, any one could join this group of people if they believed the same.
This was such a big deal. Stay with me, because it’s why God has been silent with me about current national events. Because of Abraham’s devoted loyalty to the true God, God would covenant with him a promise that we may not be able to fully comprehend this side of Heaven. God said He would make nations out of Abraham’s seed.
Plural.
Nations.
God said Abraham’s seed would possess the gates of their enemies. God reiterated that promise to Abraham’s son Isaac, and to Isaac’s son Jacob.
Surely you know? Have you not heard?
And from the Pentateuch, to the Book of Jasher and the Book of Jubilee, we are told a story of a people group that defeated armies more vast and numerous than they, more superior in might and strength, larger, stronger, more numerous, and fierce.
Each time the odds were against them, each time they were surrounded – flanked on all sides with no escape, each time they were ambushed or tricked, they called upon God and were delivered. Why? Because He made a promise to Abraham and Isaac and Jacob.
Every face-off the sons of Abraham had with a king or pharaoh, they gave fair warning by making known to that king or pharaoh like this: “Do you not know, O King? Have you not heard?” And they would tell of the deeds of their God. They were near death on countless occasions and yet the God of Israel time and again delivered His people from impossible situations and scenarios.
Abraham took 318 men of his household in pursuit of five kings and their armies and defeated them all to save his nephew from slavery.
Two men, Simeon and Levi, put a whole city to the sword when its prince defiled their sister. And when the seven Amorite kings with their armies came out to destroy Jacob’s family because of this, the sons of Jacob and their servants strapped on their weapons and went out to meet them. Judah exhorted his brothers and Jacob called out to God to deliver them. The kings turned from their ambitions and left Jacob’s family in peace.
But that’s not all! Genesis does not cover all of the battles Jacob and his sons encountered. The Book of Jasher, (chapters 37-40), recounts that the kings of Canaan waged war on Jacob and his sons. They gathered seven kings with their armies to slay the sons of Jacob and the fighting went on for six days of battles. Jacob and ten of his sons (Benjamin was too young and Joseph was in prison in Egypt) with their 112 servants defeated seven kings and their armies, and destroyed seven cities, putting them all to the sword. The blood that flowed from the city of Gaash was described as a brook of water and was seen for miles away.
Each battle was different and there were times there was certain defeat and even death for the sons of Jacob, and yet, Jacob would lift up his voice and cry out to God and remind Him of His promise to him and his father and grandfather.
Do you not know? Have you not heard? Surely you know!
The story isn’t over. The story is still being written. It has little to do with a flurry of actors calling the shots on planet earth, and everything to do with the God and gods.
In every generation, at every turn, God moves on behalf of His promises. He only requires a person to agree with Him.
I’ve heard the rumors of Chinese armies being raised up against us. I’ve speculated they’ve already placed them in strategic places and employed mercenaries. I know about the Russian fleet off the coast of Hawaii. I know there are no less than a couple dozen very real threats against the United States and our American liberties, from both within and without.
But we have two things going for us that have nothing to do with the idiots in our government, or the players in motion. We serve the God of Abraham, and we are co-heirs with THE son of God. We are recipients of both the Abrahamic covenant and also Christ’s covenant.
So at the end of the day….
This has nothing to do with Trump or politics or even America. God has been silent with me to make sure I don’t make it about those things. Those things have a place and we’ll address that, but it is not primary.
The gods of this world, the demonic entities, the sons of God who defected – however you want to phrase it – have infiltrated just about every aspect of American culture and the world systems. They worship their gods in their words and deeds, both public and private. Look at the infiltration of the social constructs. The entertainment industry has led the way in reversing old standards and bringing in the perverse that their gods require. It is considered quite cool now to bow at the feet of deities of sexual perversion, gender mutilation, pedophilia, violence, idolatry, selfishness, and everything in 2 Timothy 3.
The gods of this world have taken their places against the Supreme God. They’ve even infiltrated His own people and the lands He has given them. They’ve corrupted the leadership and they’ve corrupted the populace. The symbols of their allegiance are prevalent across our society.
This is what it’s going to take
And it will be scoffed by a lot of people. I don’t care. I know what I know.
We take it on in every battleground, every community, every home, and every venue.
We defy the gods of the world and we align with the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
The coming days, weeks, months and years will be battleground after battleground on issues wide and varied. So whether we’re facing school boards or county commissions, state or federal legislators, law enforcement authorities, rock stars or movie stars, or whoever, fight with courage and solidarity with God. Ultimately, we cannot lose. We represent the Supreme God and His purposes for the earth.
The election matters. The fraud and corruption matter. But we don’t tackle it from that angle. We’ve been trying that for years and how has that worked out for us?
And while I’m a strong advocate for prayer, we don’t just sit home and pray either. There are giants in our land, and they want our destruction. We have to fight. Be forewarned, the institutional church will be one of our larger obstacles, may even become an adversary. (More on that another day.)
About that promise…
Remember how Daniel was a prophet to Judah? So his messages were to the Jews? Well Hosea was a prophet to Israel (the ten tribes of the northern nation), and he prophesied about Israel (NOT Judah) from 750-722 B.C.
Hosea 1:10 tells us the children of Israel will become “as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured or numbered.” This is a promise from God to Abraham. (Gen. 22:17) Hosea is prophesying that the children of Israel will be as the sands of the sea, a reiteration of the Abrahamic covenant, but still for a future time.
Now look at the rest of Hosea 1:10: “and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said to them, you are not my people, there it shall be said to them, you are the sons of the living God.” This is a fascinating prophecy because it tells us two specific things: the Israelites would become a numerous and vast people, and they would be unknown as Israelites. Regardless, they will be called the sons of God.
In Hosea 2:19-20 God declares this lost and scattered people will become His bride. He goes on in verse 23 to tell us He is going to sow Israel (scatter) across the earth, and that these people will not be known as His people, and yet they will be His people.
Amos 9:9 reiterates that God will scatter His people Israel among the nations, yet they will not fall.
Recall that Jacob took Joseph’s two sons Ephraim and Manasseh as his own, and he gave them the birthright. One was to become a “multitude of nations” and the other a great people. (Gen. 48:19) However angry God was with Ephraim, and while they would pay the consequences of their waywardness given in Lev. 26 (“I will scatter you among the heathen”), in Hosea 11:8-9, God is unwilling to destroy them.
Hosea 7:8 tells us Ephraim mixed himself among the people of the earth, and that only half his story had been written (“a cake not turned” is half-baked). Then Hosea 11:10 tells us the children of Israel will tremble from the west. (west of the Holy Land)
The woman of Revelation 12 is undisputedly Israel. Revelation 12 is a historical account of God’s salvation to His people covering a broad range of time and events. The woman Israel was given two wings of a great eagle to fly into the wilderness (a place away from the commerce of the world) and she would be nourished for a time, times, and a half, which is a 2500 year period. (Write me if you need me to explain this.)
Even if the 2500 years from Israel’s exile (725-722 B.C.) to America’s independence in 1776 is incidental, the people migrations have already been traced and the namesake tribes of Joseph can be traced to America and England. America , not known as Israelites, are still known as the children of God (as a Christian nation).
We are the seed of Abraham dispersed among the nations. We are the children of God by adoption through Christ. (Galatians 3:26) America is a nation from both the Abrahamic Covenant and the Messianic Covenant. When you know that, it changes everything.
God will defend His people in the land He gave them because of His promise to Abraham. It’s not about Trump or American politics. It’s about God and His promises, and the sooner we realize that and stand on that, the sooner we’ll secure the victory over our enemies. I will expound on this more in the days to come.
Thank you Michelle!
I love this, and I love that God has given you such discernment and that you share so much with us!
I think I understand some of what you’re saying about Rev 12 and the woman and the eagle, but would love to hear your explanation. You are so good at putting things into words and I am not. Thank you, and God Bless You!
Hello Dawn! Thank you for your grace for me 🙂
Revelation 12 is part history part prophecy. When you combine elements of Hosea’s prophecy to Israel pre- and post-Diaspora, I think the interpretation of Israel’s scattering can be seen to align with the woman’s escape to the wilderness. (granted, that’s just one interpretation and I’m not saying it definitively, but to date I don’t like any other interpretations better) The Israelites migrated from the Holy Land both before and after Samaria (the capitol) fell. They dispersed in large people groups, usually by tribes. Their migration over the Caucasus Mountains was so noteworthy, that the people that emerged were referred to as Caucasians. They changed their names slightly, generally hid their identity as Israelites, and over time melded into the people groups they migrated to. This is how their identity came to be lost. (a people not known to be God’s)
Ironically, incidentally, or prophetically, the 2500 years (time, times and a half time) also aligns with the emerging of the American nation. [724 B.C. plus 2500 = 1776] The woman (Israel) being given the wings of an eagle seem reminiscent of America as well. I admit it sounds like a bit of a stretch if taken alone, but when you combine it with Hosea’s prophecies and descriptions of the exiled Israelites and elements of hindsight that we have today in the 21st century, you don’t have to work to make the pieces fit. They seem to fall into place.
Steven M. Collins does an excellent series of tracing the migration patterns of the tribes of Israel. The birthright tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh can be traced to England and America. This data point almost seals the interpretation to me. Remember that the “lost tribes of Israel” has been lauded for centuries. Their true identity has been obscured because of various historical forks in the road, and I would say because God had obscured it until the time was right.
Hope that helps?
Oh Michelle, this helps a whole lot! I so enjoy your thoughts and writing! You are a real blessing to me! Thank you for sharing so much with all of us!
Yay! (sometimes I worry I don’t explain things well enough)
The blessing is mutual 🙂
I really enjoy your perspective and I’m not even sure how I arrived at your blog months back, but here I am.
Correct. It’s about Him. The WAY the TRUTH and the LIFE. 🙌
What did He overcome?
Sin and death in the lie about the forbidden tree.
So at the risk of “sounding” contentious I must follow His leading here.
This realm has never been about good vs. evil. The forbidden tree.
It’s always been about TRUTH vs. the lie.
God told the TRUTH and the serpent lied. That’s the foundation.
Jesus will make determination on “the source” of good trees and bad trees.
Our job is to speak the TRUTH.
I see everything else as death.
The TRUTH is why the election is important because we’re living in a lie.
💜🙏
Hi David, thanks so much for penning your thoughts. I have no trouble agreeing with them. Truth seeking, telling and living has been the common theme of my life, study and work. I wholeheartedly agree with you and your sentiments. Still, I wrote what I wrote. 🙂
It is cliche-ish to call it “good vs. evil”, but I selected that phrase because of what God showed me: it is about God and His adversaries. It’s about the family of God or the alliances of His enemies. That’s what He showed me, and I used the language that came to me to try to depict it. I’m sure it could be said better, and I will try to expound on some details I did not have space for this time. Maybe the expansion will help? Maybe not.
Either way, loved your thoughts. And yes, the election is important because of the deception and its consequences. I am not disputing that in the slightest. But seriously, the thieves who stole it are aligned with God’s adversaries and I still find classifying them as evil is accurate.
God bless!
Thank you for your gracious reply Michelle.
I agree with what you wrote as well. I stand with you in the battle you describe, in this epic war of the realm. Forgive me for not addressing that with clarity.
He moves in me with the same admonition, to stand in the assembly of the people, where ever that may be and proclaim the TRUTH in their midst. It’s why the institutional church is 7 years in my rear view mirror. For they thought my intentions were evil.
Being scoffed at or ridiculed? Like you, I don’t care. I too, know who I know and their words have no power over the living word of God He has placed inside through the Spirit of TRUTH. [Heb 4:12]
I magnify the freedom our Father has given us in Christ and I know everything we have seen or understood is His revelation to us over time. I wrote because He has revealed and removed me from the cliche mentioned and not because it’s cliche, but because it’s designed to destabilize our footing in Christ.
He has shown me it’s Luciferian. The black and white squares, the left hand right hand magic and how “enlightenment” is used against the profane. They eat from the forbidden tree.
The Holy Spirit revealed to me that the commandment of the garden is eternal.
…but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die.”
It’s what I know now. 🙌
And He led me to share.
But in all ways I pray we have ears to hear and I stand with you, sword of the Spirit, the word of TRUTH drawn. For our God and Father and to His Son be glory in His people.
💜🙏
Love it! I can relate to almost everything you said. We could probably exchange some startlingly similar stories from the sentiments you shared here. Some of your phrases immediately bring up some of my own experiences.
God bless you David, as we march to the battle with the banner of our King.
Blessing of our father to you Michelle!
Sounds as if you have also experienced the bounty of the wilderness that appears desolate?
💜 His way!
Just wow!! I’m so glad I found you… Thank you for being a voice that I can understand.. I love reading your stuff, I love how you love the Lord.. Thank you so much Michelle..
Sharon thank you so much! You are such an encouragement to me! May you be blessed in the goodness of our God and may He guide you in His perfect wisdom. God bless you!
Beautiful! God bless you , Michelle, for waiting he Lord and sharing the wisdom from Him.
God bless you Cheryl! Thank you for taking the time to write and encourage me. Your words have blessed me. May God return the blessing to you tenfold.
Thank you so much!! Sending love your way!
Thanks Dee! I am receiving and feeling that and returning love to you!
You are truly one of GOD’s gifts. Saying “thank you” cannot cover the effort, time and energy you expend on our behalf. I will stand applaud the amount of crowns heaped on your head at the bema. I pray that GOD continue to bless, protect you and family and continue to speak clearly through you.
Oh dear Carol, what a blessing you have given me and continue to give me. Thank you so much for your encouragement, for seeing beyond and acknowledging some of the cost. I will be just like you and so many others, casting my crowns at the feet of Him who has saved me. May our God bless and protect you and your family and be the light of wisdom for your path. God bless you Carol 🙂
When you wrote the Vatican placed a giant statue of Moloch at the Colosseum entrance, I thought, you got to be kidding. Well, I checked out the link, and a few other sources, yes, it seems they did. And if they didn’t, they allowed it to be placed there. “the LORD said unto him [Gideon] … throw down the altar of Baal that thy father hath, and cut down the grove that is by it” (Judges 6:25). We need another Gideon, to throw down that idle. What an abomination to those tens of thousands of Christians whose blood was poured out in the Colosseum!
I have heard about the Book of Jasher & Jubilee, but have never read them. I have always thought, I really shouldn’t read those “extra” Biblical books, not found in Scripture. After all, they are not Scripture. However, after I thought about it for a while, I read history books, and numerous other books outside of the Bible. I want to get a hold of some of those books and start reading them. They might not be Scripture, but that doesn’t mean they are false, but I am sure hold good historical information and other facts. I like that you incorporated the information from those books into your post.
Thanks for reminding us, if God is for us, it matters not what armies may be arrayed against us, the numbers of the enemy, their power, authority, or strength. God’s power that works within His people can overcome all thrown against us.
Right now, most of the media is arrayed against us. Their power of propaganda is great, just consider all those who have bought into the lie of Covid, and line up to get a jab, while thousands die from it each week (many Christians have also fallen for their lies).
Some Earth-changing things are probably going to take place within the next two years. However, those big changes started to take place at the start of 2020, and are now ongoing. What will the world look like two years from now? Will there be a USA? Probably not as we now know it. Here in the Philippines, what happens in the USA does affect us. So, I pray, God, grant us repentance, and courage to do what we can
Oh wow Michael! I couldn’t agree with your sentiments more!! We do need, each of us, to stand in the face of the adversary knowing and proclaiming Who we stand for and with. There is such a spirit of deception upon the world, neatly orchestrated through the pundits and talking heads. There are significant changes ahead.
Reading the books of the Apocrypha has been an incredible journey for me. Here’s the one I have read: https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Apocrypha-Enoch-Jasher-Jubilees/dp/0999892436/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=apocrypha&qid=1625150717&sr=8-5
Repentance and courage, yes and amen! Yes and amen! God bless you brother!
The Vatican story is nonsense. The Vatican does not control the Colosseum: https://www.thecompassnews.org/2020/01/did-the-pope-allow-an-idol-in-colosseum/#:~:text=The%20Vatican%20has%20no%20authority%20over%20the%20Colosseum.,12-foot%20cross%20there%20in%20honor%20of%20Christian%20martyrs.
Thank you for the clarification. (though it would seem the Vatican approved the pagan fertility goddess Pachamamma earlier in the Vatican Gardens)

This is fantastic news to share! You are a blessing to us, Michelle! I’m sharing this w/many who’ll share w/many, too!
Now, let’s see, what can I do besides pray at home, share His Word as directed (so glad I’m learning to recognize His nudges!), and give testimony by spreading the Good News? I’m praying for guidance on this because I have learned that He will send me forth after He’s prepared me (I do not have much patience, tho I have more now than I ever have before!) *smile*
Likewise sister! You’re a blessing to myself and so many others! I agree with your prayer on guidance. I’ll be writing a little more on what I think this could look like from what I saw. Love you Marti!
Thank you Jesus for the life of Michelle. God bless you so much for being a great blessing to me. I am looking forward to reading everything you receive. I pray God will give you more grace, strength and power to wait on him and receive from God what he has for us. We are ready to listen, above all what must we do apart from prayer?
I pray that God will supply all your needs according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. I pray that God will touch hearts to support you financially so you can spend more time with God and be used mightily by God. May the Lord protect you and keep you safe from all the attacks of the enemy in the name of JESUS.
MAY the Lord speak to you clearly, frequently and may he grant you deep and secret revelations for such a time as this. May the Lord use you to raise and command a powerful end time army to fulfil his purpose.
God bless you for availing yourself. Standing by to read all that the Lord GOD Almighty has for us.
God richly bless you.
What a beautiful prayer David! Thank you so much! I receive it and I ask the Lord be your reward. I’m humbled and honored. God bless you and all you love with His amazing presence, to Christ be all the glory.
I read this on News with Views, then found your site from there.
I first learned who the USA really was from Herbert Armstrong’s writing in the 1980’s & was shocked. when I asked God for further proof, He directed me to Sheldon Emery’s work, then Ted Weiland’s “Mission to Israel” site and Pastor Pete Peters many writings. Most recently, Pastor Chuck Baldwin has also “seen the light” of truth of who the USA really is, and preached on it. Now, God has directed me to your writings, research & understandings.
Biblical prophecy can never be fully or correctly understood by the blind “shepherds” or their lost flocks who attempt to tie it to Satan’s false Israel. (I call it “Isn’trael”).
I have been gathering biblical proof of who the true Israel is for over 40 years now and telling as many as I could over these same years. It’s good to find another whose eyes have been show truth and speaks out about it.
“Reproving” the works of darkness cannot be complete without exposing the Satanic, false Israel for what they are. Just yesterday I read an article from Colorado, where criminals were being called Anti-Semitic for attacking homosexuals and BLM supporters homes & cars with graffiti. Sort of puts the puzzle pieces together as to them being Satan’s offspring, not God’s chosen. It was an inadvertent admission of the vast majority of those “antichrists”, behaving in an ungodly manner as being (for the most part) so called “Jews”. They are in fact, Ashkenazim, Mongol Turk, Khazarica, with zero Semitic DNA in them. Jesus declared they were “of their father, the devil” and did not know Abraham. Revelation 2:9 and 3:9 confirms they are not “Jewish” at all.
