It appears that the so-called Cyrus anointing of President Donald Trump, if it ever existed at all, is wearing off.
Last week, after he ordered American military to pull out of Syria, in effect no longer supporting ethnic Kurds that had been our allies in Turkey and likely leading to their slaughter by Turkish forces there, Pat Robertson, the host if CBN’s “700 Club,” complained that he had gone against a “mandate from heaven.” (That Trump has business dealings, specifically Trump Towers, in Turkey probably didn’t occur to Robertson.)
I’ve long argued elsewhere that Trump is and always been no friend to the Gospel or the Christian faith and simply threw us some bones so that we would vote for him. Whether you like it or not, he’s a politician — if anything, more so than any president before him because he clearly has no scruples or overall vision for the United States of America.
And now he’s going against the “dispensationalist” crowd that voted for him almost unanimously. It remains to be seen whether it will still support him after this latest stunt, which would fly in the face of its version of Biblical prophecy — because if it doesn’t he’s pretty much through.
