Michael Snyder's 'Christian Army'
"As I have said before, getting Donald Trump elected was the greatest miracle in U.S. political history, but he should not have to wage this battle alone. Trump has very few friends in Congress at this point, and so it is absolutely critical that we get him some during the 2018 mid-term elections. So I am calling for an army of pro-Trump activists to run for national, state and local offices all over America in 2018. Donald Trump started this revolution, and now it is our job to continue it."

Michael Snyder is a well known 'blogger' in Christian circles. He is part of this 'Christian Dominion' movement in America. A movement that heavily supports the nation of Israel, and one that seeks to take control of American government and create 'God's kingdom' on earth. This movement is more of a political movement, than a Christian one. And the Christian leaders who got Trump into office are also part of this movement. They believe it is their 'God given duty' to take control of America and so called 'return America back to God'. Problem is, they don't realize they are playing right into the hands of the Papal beast, by creating the image of the beast in America, in fulfillment of Revelation 13.
Getting Christian activists to run for political office is a goal of many of these Christian leaders. Just as Franklin Graham did during his national tour last year ... FRANKLIN GRAHAM WANTS TO GET CHRISTIANS TO RUN FOR POLITICAL OFFICE AT EVERY LEVEL
Revelation 13 tells us that an image of the Papacy would be created in America. A unity of church and state, with the church telling the state what to do, and we are seeing this come together before our eyes. The Protestants and Evangelicals are 'rising up' to take control of government, bringing church and state together. They proclaim that they are trying to return America back to God, and yet the very act of taking control of government, goes against the very founding principles of America. But God's prophecy will be fulfilled.
Revelation 13:14-15 ...'And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.'
"The image is made to the first or leopard-like beast, which is the one brought to view in the third angel's message. By this first beast is represented the Roman Church, an ecclesiastical body clothed with civil power, having authority to punish all dissenters. The image to the beast represents another religious body clothed with similar power. The formation of this image is the work of that beast whose peaceful rise and mild professions render it so striking a symbol of the United States. Here is to be found an image of the papacy. When the churches of our land, uniting upon such points of faith as are held by them in common, shall influence the State to enforce their decrees and sustain their institutions, then will Protestant America have formed an image of the Roman hierarchy. Then the true church will be assailed by persecution, as were God's ancient people." (E.White, The Spirit of Prophecy, Volume 4, p.278)
And what did Donald Trump promise the churches if they voted him into office? That he would give them POWER!
The 'speaking' and 'causing' on the part of the image of the beast is the legislative action in enforcing the policies of the churches, in union with the Roman Catholic Church. And the main policy that the Roman Catholic Church seeks to enforce is the Sunday rest law. This is the 'mark' of the first beast, which Revelation 13 speaks of. And this is what the Protestant and Evangelical churches will unite with Rome in, to enforce upon the people.
"The Sunday movement is now making its way in darkness. The leaders are concealing the true issue, and many who unite in the movement do not themselves see whither the undercurrent is tending. Its professions are mild and apparently Christian, but when it shall speak it will reveal the spirit of the dragon." (E.White, Testimonies for the Church, vol.5, p.452)
The image of the beast is being formed and created before our eyes. End time prophecy is being fulfilled, and we need to be ready in Christ Jesus. We must stand firm upon a 'Thus saith the LORD', as this is our only safety and defence against the great tide of deceptions coming!
Revelation 13:14 ...'And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast.'
How do we know if what we are seeing is from God? Isaiah 8:20 ...'To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.'
