Was Donald Trump Born for Such a Time as This?

My VIP for this week is Donald Trump, former President of the United States and 2024 candidate for President. My long-time readers understand that I believe that Trump will go down in history as one of the great Presidents for the United States. I believe that Trump has been raised up to save the Constitution. This belief has only grown stronger over the years because Trump reminds me of other great people in history who were instruments in God’s hands for the good of the people.

The first person is Esther who was a beautiful Jewish maiden who became queen of Persia. When the lives of all the Jews in the kingdom were threatened, Esther’s uncle, Mordecai, sent a message to her that she should approach the king to tell him of the terrible decree to kill all the Jews. Esther reminded Mordecai that she was not allowed to approach the king unless he bade her come. Otherwise, she would be killed. In his next message,

Mordecai reminded her that if she stayed quiet and the Jews were delivered in another way, Esther and her “father’s house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?” Esther agreed to do as Mordecai said, but she requested that Mordecai send a message to all the Jews to pray for her for three days. Esther and her maidens also prayed, and Esther approached the king. He bade her come to him and granted her wish. Thus, Esther was instrumental in saving her people. (See the book of Esther.)

The second person is Cyrus, another king of Persia. The Lord inspired Cyrus to send a message throughout his kingdom. Cyrus believed that God had told him to send Jews back to Jerusalem to rebuild the temple. He also sent back to Jerusalem all the gold and silver objects stolen from the old temple by Nebuchadnezzar. Any Jews that chose to return to Judah were allowed to go, and they were allowed to take whatever they would need to rebuild the temple. (See Ezra 1-10.) The Jews in modern Israel compare Trump with Cyrus and made a temple coin with Cyrus and Trump side by side to honor the move of the capital of Israel to Jerusalem.

I recently gained understanding of two other men to whom Trump can be compared. We honor George Washington for his efforts and sacrifices to lead the colonial army for eight years until the American won the Revolutionary War. We also honor him for his integrity in writing the new Constitution and then for being our first President of the United States. Washington led Americans through years of dark days and deserves the respect and honor that he receives.

The other man is Abraham Lincoln who was instrumental in keeping the United States together despite the Civil War. He came from a poor family who had nothing and rose to be elected President of the United States. He also led Americans through many dark years.

Today Americans are more divided that at any time since the Civil War. The Prophet Joseph Smith prophesied that the day would come that the Constitution would “hang by a thread” but would be saved by good men and women who love the Constitution and America. I believe that Donald Trump was raised up by God to lead the patriots who will be instrumental in preserving the Constitution.

I believe that numerous secret combinations are working together to destroy the Constitution and the freedoms of Americans. Some of those combinations are the globalists who want to create a one world order. Others have developed climate change to be their religion. Communists are also part of the combinations.

I believe that Donald Trump was raised up by God to save our Constitution. He is a national leader who loves America and sees many of the dangers that Americans face. I have never seen a man or woman who has been hit with so many problems but remains standing and moving forward. Just as Washington could not be killed in the Revolutionary War, none of the attacks from the Leftists seem to bring Trump down. I believe that Trump was raised up by God for “such a time as this.”
