Donald Trump was back to tweeting about Israel this morning, attacking the UN and promising “January 20th is fast approaching!” No doubt his anti-Semitic supporters are completely thrilled by this.
We cannot continue to let Israel be treated with such total disdain and disrespect. They used to have a great friend in the U.S., but…….

In the second tweet, he couldn’t resist taking a swipe at Obama over his Iran Deal:
not anymore. The beginning of the end was the horrible Iran deal, and now this (U.N.)! Stay strong Israel, January 20th is fast approaching!

Donald Trump seems intent on presenting himself as a knight on a white charger racing to the defense of Israel, but if the Bible tells you anything, it is that you don’t want the guy coming to save you to be riding a white horse.
As Revelation 6:2 says, “I looked, and there was a white horse! Its rider had a bow; a crown was given to him, and he came out conquering and to conquer.” This is universally recognized to be the anti-Christ, the harbinger of the apocalypse, a false messiah.
A description, given his vow to renew the nuclear arms race, that fits Trump very well. Israel should not be cheered by Trump’s promise of help, but worried by its implicit threat.
