Revelation 16:15. Behold, I come as a thief.] Here is a sudden but timely warning to put every man on his guard, when this sudden and generally unexpected tribulation should take place.
Keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked] Here is a plain allusion to the office of him who was called the prefect or overseer, of the mountain of the temple. His custom was to go his rounds during the watches of the night; and if he found any of the Levites sleeping on his watch, he had authority to beat him with a stick, and burn his vestments. See Middoth, fol. 34, 1, and Tamid. fol. 27, 2; 28, 1. Such a person being found on his return home naked, it was at once known that he had been found asleep at his post, had been beaten, and his clothes burnt; thus his shame was seen-he was reproached for his infidelity and irreligion.
Commentators and speculators have been busy attempting to identify its rider. It is tempting to identify him with the Rider of the white horse in Revelation 19:11. Tempting but the two riders are clearly different persons.
A crown given indicates that he overcomes with the approval of God, because it is fitting in with His plans. It does not mean that God approves of all his acts and motives, but that He permits his performance and may even work in the background to assist in causing things to fall in place based on prayers of genuine Christ follower’s prayers of intercession.
Shortly after this rider has established a peaceful period, the rider of the red horse makes an end to it.
My use of the term “shortly” reflects an indefinite time frame. I don’t currently have an insight as to how long the white horse’s peace will last.
President Trump may very well be the rider of the white horse while Joe Biden was a foreshadowing of the one who will actually be the rider of the red horse.
Fortunately, Joe was rather low energy and took lots of “vacation time” while he was occupying the oval office thereby limiting the amount of damage he was able to do.
Trump was miraculously spared by the hand of God from assassination attempts for such a time as this.
President Trump has initiated so many strategic improvements in the world in 100 days, it’s beyond imagination. To think the best presidential candidates Republicans had to offer before him in the past two decades were Mitt Romney and John McCain is mind-boggling. No wonder we were stuck with a grifter like Obama and idiots like Biden and Harris. – James Woods, X post, Feb 7, 2025
President Trump has initiated so many strategic improvements in the world in his first 100 days, and he still has 60+ to go. Trump and Elon have done a major draining of the dirty D.C. swamp in a matter of days, Yay.
Now swamp creatures are wandering around D.C., making impromptu hate speeches defending the indefensible to other swamp critters. The public is laughing at them and they don’t know it yet.
D.C. Swamp Critters
Trump had four years to learn from his missteps, to strategize and, so far, his plan is working so beautifully. President Trump should have been ending his second term last month, but instead he’s back and more powerful. Will the Dems learn from their mistakes?
Biden’s opinion means nothing except for the fact that he’s repeating what the majority of elected democrats have been saying behind closed doors for some time now.
One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. The liberal elite hate folks like us because we believe in God; we believe in family, and because we believe in freedom and the value of the average American citizen, they think we’re not worthy of having a voice, and that we need not be remembered or represented. We may be trash to Joe Biden & Kamala Harris- but to President Donald J. Trump, we are a treasure ❤️ The Democrat party is running on mothers killing their offspring, on wife’s deceiving their husband, on confusing the identity in children. They want to keep people against each other, dividing people on race and gender. They are not only destroying households but by doing so they are destroying what holds this nation together. It’s really disheartening. If Kamala takes the Presidency, America then becomes a one-party state and Democracy is over. The only “elections” will be the Democratic Party primaries. This already happened in California many years ago, following the 1986 amnesty. The only thing holding California back from extreme socialism and suffocating government policies is that people can leave California and still remain in America. Once the whole country is controlled by her, there will be no escape.
Results matter. We are fortunate to have the ACTUAL RESULTS of the two administrations asking for our votes.
You and your family are better off when you make important decisions using logic and reason instead of emotions. Here are measures that actually matter to the American people.
Below is the economic score card (actual results).
*Average Annual Inflation:
2017 to 2020: 1.875%
2021 to 2024: 5.65%
*Stock Market Returns (inflation-adjusted annualized return as of 8/5/2024):
2017 to 2020: DOW 12.03%, S&P 14.78%, NASDAQ 32.53% (largest in history), Russell2k 13.22%
2017 to 2020 Military Pay outpaced inflation by 2.5%
2021 to 2024 Troops lost 5.7% to inflation
***And if the comparison of results from the Trump administration to the Biden-Harris administration doesn’t shock you, think about the actual ECONOMIC POLICY PROPOSALS FROM A POTENTIAL HARRIS ADMINISTRATION!
1) Harris has proposed GOVERNMENT PRICE CONTROLS. Everywhere this has ever been tried has resulted in shortages, bread lines, and then scarcity which then drives the prices up even more.
2) Harris has proposed GIVING $25,000 OF YOUR TAX DOLLARS TO NEW HOME BUYERS. This will result in 3 things. 1) The price of houses will move upwards by $25k. If an extra $25k on average is available for buying, the market will adjust. 2) It will exacerbate inflation. $25k times however many people take the “free” taxpayer money will run up the national debt and it is called fiscal stimulus to economists who almost exclusively recommend it when the economy needs a major boost BECAUSE IT CAUSES INFLATION! 3) Hello, 2009? Have we not learned anything in the aftermath of the housing crisis and the great recession? The repeal of Glass-Steagall has led to many unqualified buyers with mortgages that they really couldn’t afford and a “free” $25k of taxpayer dollars will do the same.
3) Harris has proposed TAXING UNREALIZED CAPITAL GAINS up to 28%! This is a 40% higher rate than even the highest current REALIZED capital gains rate today. So, you will owe the government many thousands of dollars on things that you bought and HAVE NOT SOLD! This will force people to sell assets to pay for the taxes on things that they already own (your 401k, your house, art, baseball card or doll collections, etc.). And yes, all this selling will cause the value of your assets to decline. So, you will be out the money that the government confiscated and then your assets will decline in value after people are forced to sell to cover their taxes.
2017 to 2020: 0 new wars and a responsible winding down of Afghanistan;
2021 to 2024: Bloody and botched hasty withdrawal of Afghanistan that got 13 US military personnel killed, 2 unending wars in Ukraine and Israel costing nearly $1 trillion and many thousands of lives
2017 to 2020: a secure border and the lowest number of illegal aliens in decades
2021 to 2024: Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) data, as of July 2024, lists more than 7 million people on that docket. The data says that, among those not in detention, there are 425,431 convicted criminals and 222,141 with pending criminal charges. Those include 62,231 convicted of assault, 14,301 convicted of burglary, 56,533 with drug convictions and 13,099 convicted of homicide. An additional 2,521 have kidnapping convictions and 15,811 have sexual assault convictions. There are an additional 1,845 with pending homicide charges, 42,915 with assault charges, 3,266 with burglary charges and 4,250 with assault charges. I gathered the metrics personally. You are welcome to verify the information, and I encourage you to do so. We all should know the actual results of the two administrations seeking our vote. I’ll even help you get started.
