The 2024 election of Donald Trump is one of the greatest political events in the History of the United States.  Whatever you may think of Trump, how bad you dislike him, this is a unique moment.  It’s hard to say that anyone has been opposed by more people and to a greater extent than him.  I could tell you of the very powerful people, institutions, investigations, trials, and events that went against him.  You know it already.  He still won.  This win, I would say, tops 2016 too, which is hard to do.

Historical Precedent

Many people would say that Trump would either win or go to prison.  Let that settle in once again.  The other side was going to put him in prison.  He’s already had at least two assassination attempts on his life, one of the bullets hitting him in the head.

Other presidents set themselves apart.  Four were assassinated:  Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley, and Kennedy.  I hope the Secret Service does a good job at guarding Trump, keeping a sharp look-out, because the threat is still there.  What will set him apart is his resilience against the degree of onslaught.

When I declare the historical precedent of Trump’s election, president now number 45 and 47, this comes out of teaching history and government for over thirty years.  I know American history.  As a figure, Trump has risen to a level of greatness in United States history, compared to the events of American history.  The country itself might not make it another one hundred years and it shrinks into oblivion next the kingdom of Jesus Christ and the eternal state.  Still, you are witnessing something significant.

Resilience

People stuck with Trump in a major way because he wouldn’t and didn’t quit.  I can’t envision anyone else standing against all this.  Not only would no one else have continued, like he did, but much more than that.  He won really against all odds.

What can people say?  What can his enemies say?  This is quite a win and quite a loss.  Whatever comments someone may have even to this post — well, you lost.  I’ve heard it all myself in the way of attack, nothing like what Trump has withstood.

Trump wasn’t alone.  People stood with him despite the slings and arrows.  It wasn’t easy for any of them to face the hatred they did.  I’m happy for them, but now the hardest part, really.

Hope for the Future

I hope this victory will not be met by anything close to what happened in 2016.  It shouldn’t.  The American people have spoken, despite the absolute mockery and ridicule at unprecedented levels.

Things should change in the country.  This ought to allow more freedom at least.  Everyone reading here should think he can take this as an opportunity.  When I say that, I mean for God.

Many reading here won’t like this, but it’s true.  We should praise God that Trump won.  God deserves the credit and the glory.  I’m not endorsing Trump’s morality or testimony.  Instead, it is something providential and can be very useful too.

It’s a good time to make a move on embracing everything about scripture.  It is the truth.  Men are men and women are women.  It matches much of what God wants.  Go at it with gusto and without apology.  Do the will of God.  Talk about Him.  You’ve been given a great opportunity.  Don’t let it pass you by.
