Does Donald Trump Have Mental Illness?

Donald Trump - Madman
Barry R Smith was New Zealand’s most famous and well thought of evangelists. Unfortunately we lost him to a cardiac arrest in 2003 at the age of 69 after he went home to be with the Lord. I have been a Christian for a long time now. Decades and decades to be precise. Nevertheless after reading Barry’s books, and watching his DVDs I had learnt a lot. Enough to form my own opinion on the unfolding of the end times Bible prophecies. Barry still remains one of my favourites.

I have a student of Bible prophecy for some time. Even though I have been wrong so many times in the past when trying to pick the Antichrist and his False Prophet, there are just too many things going on with Trump that simply cannot be ignored. I am fairly certain that he is the Antichrist. However I can’t really say with all certainty that he is as suggested until I see him confirm the covenant of Daniel Chapter 9 Verse 27.

Given that the term for an American president is 48 months, but that the reign of the Antichrist lasts 42 months after the signing, I would roughly estimate that we would see the signing about midyear in the month June. That then leaves us with 42 months until he moves into the temple in Jerusalem. From there proclaims himself to be God reincarnate here on the earth. That is the abomination that causes desolation. Then the Great Tribulation begins -- lasting 42 months.

I can’t really see that Christ is going to let us go through such a horrendous time here on the earth. So let’s hope that we are gone before Planet X returns back to bypass the earth once again as it does every 20,000 years or so. Then at the end of the day who really knows the timing. For that matter who really cares, when we know that God is still totally in control.

Anyhow, real reason for this writing is that I have just noticed something about Trump that I thought was rather peculiar. I’ll try not to rant and rave on too much. But then what I have noted is that he appears to have Ambidexterity. He normally signs his executive documents with his right hand. Nonetheless, I noticed that he had signed the last one with his left hand and backwards. That does not infer that he was changed from being a left hander to a right hander at an early age of his development. Or that his brain works on either the left side or the right side. Instead, that his brain works in a spherical motion. Now I am certainly not an expert on the workings of the mind. But the facts of the matter are that there is not a great deal known about the 1% of individuals born with Ambidexterity. Conversely, what is known is that they can be very quick to lose their tempers if pressured. Furthermore, people with Ambidexterity are also known to be inclined towards mental illness/schizophrenia/delusions? Lots of people have beliefs that many other people don't share. But a delusion is usually a false belief that no one else shares. You will still believe it even if logically it doesn't make sense, or if experiences show that it can't be true. For example, you might think you are a very important person - for example you may believe that you are rich and powerful or that you can control the stock markets or the weather. These kind of beliefs are sometimes called delusions of grandeur. Some delusions can be very frightening and can make you feel threatened. For example you might feel that something or someone is trying to control, harm or kill you (when you have no reason to believe this). These ideas are sometimes called paranoid delusions.

There is only one person that I can ever recall that had real Ambidexterity. That was when I was at school. There was a boy who was in the same class as what I was who could right equally well with both hands. However let me also add that he appeared to have more than his fair share of mental issues. That in turn also makes me wonder if the American people have elected a madman as their president. Gods Richest Blessings.

WHY I AM NOT A DISPENSATIONALIST John Nelson Darby is recognized as the father of dispensationalism later made popular in the United States by Cyrus Scofield's Scofield Reference Bible. Charles Henry Mackintosh, 1820–1896, with his popular style spread Darby's teachings to humbler elements in society and may be regarded as the journalist of the Brethren Movement. CHM popularised Darby more than any other Brethren author. As there was no Christian teaching of a “rapture” before Darby began preaching about it in the 1830s, he is sometimes credited with originating the "secret rapture" theory wherein Christ will suddenly remove His bride, the Church, from this world before the judgments of the tribulation. Dispensationalist beliefs about the fate of the Jews and the re-establishment of the Kingdom of Israel put dispensationalists at the forefront of Christian Zionism, because "God is able to graft them in again," and they believe that in His grace he will do so according to their understanding of Old Testament prophecy. They believe that, while the methodologies of God may change, His purposes to bless Israel will never be forgotten, just as He has shown unmerited favour to the Church, He will do so to a remnant of Israel to fulfill all the promises made to the genetic seed of Abraham. I am not a dispensationalist; it is unbiblical.

What is the Significance of the Number 7 in the Bible?

It is simply mind boggling the number of times the number 7 is used in the scriptures. 735 times to be precise. 54 times in the book of Revelation alone. The number 7 is the foundation of God's word. If we include with this count how many times 'seven fold' (6) and 'seventh' (119) is used, our total jumps to 860 references.  There are at least seven men in the Old Testament who are specifically mentioned as a man of God. They are Moses (Joshua 14:6), David (2 Chronicles 8:14), Samuel (1 Samuel 9:6, 14), Shemaiah (1 Kings 12:22), Elijah (1 Kings 17:18), Elisha (2 Kings 5:8) and Igdaliah (Jeremiah 35:4).

It would then make a great deal of sense to not only assume, but to be a first-hand witness to, God using the number 7 when it came to end times events. The end of the age starts with the 70th week of Daniel the prophet. The newly elected president of the United States, Donald Trump is 70 years old. He will come to power in 201(7). He is the prince of the covenant and will confirm a seven year treaty in the Middle East. There are seven years until Christ returns after the signing of the Middle East peace treaty. 

There is yet another number in the scriptures that is of real significance. The number 10. In the Bible, the number 10 is used 242 times. The designation "10th" is used 79 times. Ten is also viewed as a complete and perfect number, as is 3, 7 and 12. It is made up of 4, the number of the physical creation, and 6, the number of man. As such, it signifies testimony, law, responsibility and the completeness of order.  In Genesis 1 we find the phrase "God said" 10 times, which is a testimony of His creative power. God gave the 10 Commandments to man. Ten therefore represents man's responsibility to keep the commandments. A tithe is a 10th of our earnings and is a testimony of our faith in the Lord. The first Beast of Revelation Chapter 13 had 10 horns and ten crowns. In this instance the horns and crowns refers to the family members of the Antichrist and in particular his 10 year old son. On the other hand, the 10 crowns of the Antichrist refers to his global business empire. The prophetic clock has now struck midnight. Once the treaty has been signed be ready to meet the Lord in the air. God bless.
