During yesterday’s inauguration ceremonies, President Trump made specific references to President Abraham Lincoln. In many ways, history appears to be repeating itself as America faces similar challenges today as we faced then.
The night before the inauguration, Trump made a speech from the Lincoln Memorial. Afterwards, the U.S. Marines Choir sang The Battle Hymn of the Republic, which was written in 1861, at the start of the Civil War. How wonderful it was to hear a song played which honors God, and even more wonderful to know Trump chose it. The 7-minute video clip is shown below. After the song, Trump and his family walked up to Lincoln’s statue and showed their respect.
As Trump took the oath of office, he put his hand on the Lincoln Bible. Then he gave his inaugural speech, which sounded like Lincoln’s Gettysburg address in some of his key points because both stressed power belongs to the people, not to government. Trump said it this way:
“Today’s ceremony, however, has very special meaning because today, we are not merely transferring power from one administration to another or from one party to another, but we are transferring power from Washington, D.C. and giving it back to you, the people.
January 20 2017 will be remembered as the day the people became the rulers of this nation again.
What truly matters is not which party controls our government, but whether our government is controlled by the people.”
Lincoln said it this way:
“that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”
Lincoln was known as a man of faith, calling on God for help and guidance. Trump does not share that reputation, but appears to be moving in that direction as he has surrounded himself with many devoted Christians in his Cabinet and advisory teams, including Franklin Graham, Paula White, and Rodney Howard-Browne.
Not since the days of Abraham Lincoln has America been as divided as we are today. Lincoln saw the nation endure great suffering, but ultimately succeeded in uniting us again. The cost was extremely high as 620,000 were killed and another 476,000 injured (Source: Civilwar.org). Far more Americans were killed in the Civil War than any other war in our history. Ultimately, even Lincoln was a casualty of the war, assassinated just three weeks before the war ended (Source: Wikipedia).
Trump has promised to make America great again. In my opinion, that might be possible, but not the way most people are expecting. Like the days of Abraham Lincoln, uniting our nation will take more than eloquent speeches. It will likely require a high price to be paid. In that context, the Battle Hymn of the Republic takes on a whole new meaning.
It is very interesting and prophetic how Trump made Lincoln such a focal point during the inaugural celebration and how we here at Z3 have heard so many prophecies about the division of the people of our country and the physical division of our land because of our treatment of Israel. The division of the country during the Civil War was horrific and one of America’s great prophets, ironically from Romania, said America would be in great civil strife caused by the communists just before the Russians attacked us. Has anyone noticed how angry, vindictive and belligerent the Democrats have been since the election? This is no small thing. This internal strife will be the prophetic barometer to watch this year of Jubilee, 5777, 70 years since the founding of Israel in November 30, 1947.
James, I had a dream in December that echoes what you said about the US paying a high price to restore this nation. Here it is:
I was with my husband, visiting an old resort of some kind. There was a huge lodge; it was rustic and outdated. There was also a lot of land that was part of the resort with paths and outbuildings, all also fallen into disrepair and outdated. (I believe the resort was the USA.)
My husband’s family was going to buy the resort. So my husband was looking with them. We went into the main lobby area, and the real estate agents were saying that the family who had previously owned it had used it as a private residence, and not the resort it was intended to be.
One thing in particular stood out in the dream. There was a kitchen/concession in the lobby, purpose-built to serve crowds of guests; to serve the PUBLIC. But the previous family had been using it as their own kitchen. They had evidently been living in guest rooms, and then coming all the way down here to this commercial kitchen in the lobby for coffee, food, etc. We were all puzzled–it made no sense, and seemed highly inefficient. The overall tone was this: Why in heaven’s name would someone even WANT to have this huge resort just for their own family’s use? That wasn’t what it was designed for. Nothing was being used the way it was designed to be used. Nothing was maintained. This once-beautiful resort, made to serve a steady flow of public visitors, had been serving just a single family. And it just didn’t work anyway–it wasn’t made for that at all. Again, this place wasn’t designed for personal use–it was a RESORT.
In the dream, I thought I would not be interested in buying this at all. Pretty land, good bones, but too much of a project to remodel it, to bring it up to date, as it had fallen into severe disrepair and really needed to be totally redone. I thought the price might be maybe $1.2 million or so. But then I heard my husband’s family was going to pay $5.1 million. I was shocked they’d pay so much for this. It seemed way too high a price.
It felt like an old state park, and it felt like maybe the whole concept was antiquated anyway–old fashioned. I was a bit surprised that my husband’s family was so rich as to be able to afford that. But they seemed to think it was worth the price. End of dream.
When I woke, I felt this was a profound revelation. I think it’s pretty self-explanatory, really. My husband’s family is comprised of entrepreneurial, success-oriented, well-educated people who are passionate patriots. Big fans of “rugged individualism”, and lots of military as well. So I think that’s what “his family” represented. It is interesting to me that the resort was so outdated, and that I felt maybe the whole concept was outdated. This is a recurring theme in my dreams over maybe the last 10 years. I see over and over in prophetic writings that “God is doing a new thing”, and I have wondered if our “reclaimed America’ might look very different than the America of the past. I posting this because it was a very useful picture to me, and it’s changed my view of what we might be facing going forward. God bless, everyone! –Amanda
Thanks for sharing this confirmation Amanda. It is an interesting analogy.

James, praise God for your prophetic ministry to the remnant church. It has been a tremendous blessing to me because I have had no training in the prophetic through my church.
This post did remind me of a much earler post regarding George Washington’s prophecy for three major challenges America will face. They both reference the civil war and I believe the next major challenge for America looms iminently on the horizon.

James, the Battle Hymn of the Republic is a foreboding element to highlight.
If I could back up a little, I see two strongly held beliefs in the Christian community, each backed with prophetic dreams, visions and words:
1) Trump is God’s chosen man to restore traditional America and give it a reprieve.
2) Trump is not what he says he is and is part of God’s judgment on America.
They can’t both be true. God is not the author of confusion and is not going to send two mixed, contradictory messages. One or the other is a deception. Full disclosure: I am in the second camp.
When the prophecy from Mark Taylor came out earlier last year about Trump being God’s chosen man to restore America, I had recently read Jeremiah 28 about the false prophet Hananiah. He claimed God would throw off the yoke of Babylon and make Judah great again, even though God had declared judgment against the nation. The Lord impressed on my heart that I was witnessing the same kind of false prophecy today. America is under judgment for its wickedness, and God is not going to give the nation a reprieve unless it REPENTS, which I see no evidence for. On the contrary, the calamities of judgment will be the means He uses to move some hearts to repentance. Judgment is a mercy, lest even more souls fall into hell.
A couple weeks ago I was up late praying and seeking insight about the times we are in and also about Obama and Trump and their roles in it. The next morning my 9-year-old daughter came in my office and showed me Judges 9, specifically Jotham’s parable of the trees, because she felt like God wanted to show her something there. I think the Lord did have a message for her in there, but it was also an answer to my prayer. The Lord brought Judges 9 and the story of Abimelech to my attention several times recently, but I never really understood the significance of it. Then it hit me that story is a prophetic metaphor for America. Because Abimelech and the men of Shechem committed murder and wickedness, God allowed a spirit of conflict to arise that would divide the nation and provoke a form of civil war — as a divine judgment.
Barack Obama is represented by Abimelech, who in the end gets a fatal head wound from a millstone dropped on him. This is very interesting in light of this description of the beast in Revelation 13:
“I saw one of his heads as if it had been slain, and his fatal wound was healed.” – Revelation 13:3
Another character arises named Gaal son of Ebed, who stirs up the men of Shechem against Abimelech, and who I believe represents Donald Trump:
“Now Gaal the son of Ebed came with his relatives, and crossed over into Shechem; and the men of Shechem put their trust in him.” – Judges 9:26
There was much bloodshed and many died in the ensuing battles, which again was God’s intended judgment for their wickedness.
The purpose of Trump is to stir up half the country, and especially the Christians, against the other half who follow Obama and his agenda. A civil conflict/war is coming. Trump is probably going to be a scapegoat for the economic collapse, jihad attacks, etc., and that blame will be transferred onto the far right and especially onto Christians, which is exactly what Obama wants and could set him up for a return to power.
MANY people have had dreams, visions and words about martial law coming. Let me make a speculation: It won’t be Obama who instigates martial law, but it will be Donald Trump in response to some catastrophe like a jihad attack. 90% of Christians will love it and want it and cheer for it because it’s Trump. Except in the end it will be turned against them.
That same morning my daughter also flipped open to a page on her Bible and felt that was significant too. There was an illustration that showed the writing on the wall for Belshazzar in Daniel 5. That really spoke to me because twice already I felt the Lord impress on me that Trump will meet an untimely demise:
“Now this is the inscription that was written out: ‘MENĒ, MENĒ, TEKĒL, UPHARSIN.’ This is the interpretation of the message: ‘MENĒ’—God has numbered your kingdom and put an end to it. ‘TEKĒL’—you have been weighed on the scales and found deficient. ‘PERĒS’—your kingdom has been divided and given over to the Medes and Persians… That same night Belshazzar the Chaldean king was slain.” – Daniel 5:25-28,30
Last week before the inauguration I asked the Lord directly whether Obama will stay in office. The first word He brought up was “circumference.” Interesting because I had recently taught my daughter how to measure the circumference of a circle. You start at one point, go all the way around and end where you began. In other words, you go full circle and back back to where you started. Get it?
The other words that came up were “claim” (to presidency or reins of power?) and “clash” (over competing claims to power?).
My warning to everyone is don’t get caught up in the coming conflict. Beware the Battle Hymn of the Republic and be careful who you follow. It should only be Jesus Christ.
Hey Mike,
I got the same message as you did about Hannah in Jeremiah 28 and also the priest Pashhur in Jeremiah 20. Both of them were in trouble with God for spreading LIES. The prophets of Jeremiah’s days were speaking a False Vision, false dreams, the deceit of their heart, lies, worthless things, divination. Jeremiah 14:13 thru 16. These false prophets mislead the people saying” you will have peace and there will be no war”. When in fact, the country was on the very brink of DISASTER and CALAMITY.
I understand that Trump wants America to be great again and to restore jobs and opportunity. But God’s vision is different for America than Trump. The American public and most of the church are believing lies, a very false vision of what our future actually will be.
For everybody who has ears to hear. There are 2 visions here. Trumps version of the future of America and God’s ultimate plans for America (weakness, chaos, famine, pestilence and war). Which vision are you going to believe?
This spiritual understanding about Trump only comes through spending time in the presence of the Lord. This truth can only truly be revealed through the spirit of God. Trump is being used by God in the exact opposite way than most people think. Donald Trump is not a prophet, but he speaks the wishes and dreams of all Americans and has the “national mind” of most people which is prosperity and peace.
I challenge everybody to ask God if Donald Trump’s vision for America in his inaugural speech “will come to pass.”
Andrew I wouldn’t say God’s plan for America famine, pestilence and war. Rather His plan is to shake people up enough to get them to repent before it is too late. So when we voted it was a matter of choosing which judgment we would get: War with Russia if Hillary won or economic catastrophe under Trump. My choice was the latter because it will be a lot easier to reach people with Christ under those circumstances than if we had war with Russia.
A word through ALI WINTERS (a watchmanonthewall)
MONDAY, JANUARY 23, 2017
“Ah, Lord GOD!” I said, “Look, the prophets are telling them, ‘You will not see the sword nor will you have famine, but I will give you lasting peace in this place.'” Then the LORD said to me, “The prophets are prophesying falsehood in My name I have neither sent them nor commanded them nor spoken to them; they are prophesying to you a false vision, divination, futility and the deception of their own minds. Jeremiah 14:13-14
“and so it has begun…the apostasy, the deceiving of the saints leading astray those who have closed their hearts and minds to truth. I have been rejected by those who profess to belong to Me. I have been maligned, ridiculed, ignored in their quest to become relevant in this sinful, perverted generation. Your rejection of Me as you embrace the teachings of man has brought great division – in your nation, in My church, among families, friends… Around the world lies are spoken in My Name. Claiming to hear from God many speak half truths, lies fed to the gullible bringing death to the soul. You do not recognize the doctrines of demons.
A strong and steady nation was shaken to its core by the sins of its citizens who chose the broad way to their own destruction. The blame rest on you alone for you have abandoned goodness for the glitter of a fallen world. America will fall. At a time of My choosing, in the way I AM will choose. America you will fall, crumbling from within. You have rejected the one true and living God, placing the promises of man above The Word of God. You have rejected My way, time has run out and judgment is upon you.”
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you. Hosea 4:6
Now as to the times and the epochs, brethren, you have no need of anything to be written to you. For you yourselves know full well that the day of the Lord will come just like a thief in the night. While they are saying, “Peace and safety!” then destruction will come upon them suddenly like labor pains upon a woman with child, and they will not escape. 1 Thessalonians 5:1-3
They have healed the brokenness of My people superficially, Saying, ‘Peace, peace,’ But there is no peace. Jeremiah 6:14
Take care, brethren, that there not be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart that falls away from the living God. But encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called “Today,” so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our assurance firm until the end… Hebrews 3:13-14
“Claiming to hear from God, many speak half truths “. Amen to that. Hence the confusion. Thanks for putting this word out there. Answers another word put out on another site and this word rings true.
Hi Andrew, I agree with what you say about 2 visions. God bless.
This is what I have believed as well.
The Lord spoke to me Dec. 2016 thru a dream saying ” It is time, judgement is upon you ” and Jan. 2017 I woke up in the middle of the night and just started sputtering out ” My children, the time has come, judgement is now upon this nation”
It was vey clear to me judgment is close at hand, I have no doubt in my mind. I firmly belive Trump is a ” Trumpet ” for the last great awakening. If you look at Sept. 23rd 2017 star allignment. there is no other alighnment like that for 7000 years.
I think the election of Trump is a greater test to the church than it would have been if Hillary had been elected. The reason is this: the true love of our hearts will be tested or exposed. Do we want the Lord’s return? Do we honestly want to get into high gear and live like He’s returning? OR…are we going to go back to sleep and be relieved that we can again seek the American Dream. I honestly ask this to myself–even though I have seen that we are in dire straits and in grave danger of God’s judgement. Even though I have been warning of His judgement! Even though we have so much blood on our hands and gay marriage is still considered OK by our new president. I still feel the pull to relax. RED ALERT! RED ALERT! HELP US LORD!! Prod us! This is scary!
I can see how the great delusion works!
I agree. And if we can be so easily fooled by this………..how will be when even greater deception comes upon us. Be vigilant and only seek the Lord Jesus Christ.
A timely and good word..I watched the inauguration..the whole days events …the first time in my life to watch an inaugaration and I really enjoyed it but that is because of what I see the Father doing in this hour.. and although I am certain all The Judgements of God will come to pass..what my Heavenly Father and Jesus have spoken to me since 2010 as well as to others but even more importantly what is written..knowing ALL scripture will be fulfilled..especially concerning the United States Of America as we are the House of Israel.as is yet to be discerned by many….and is revelation..of .our true identity… still I was rejoicing..in Gods goodness..as bitter sweet as the day was..I even found myself shouting “The Seed
Of Jacob Has Triumphed” Donald Trump is a courageous man very outspoken.the.liberal agenda has gone on a long while..and a sharp 180 .that would be repentance..or .to say the turning back of the ship.. is not going to sit well with alot of people the bee hive is being stirred..and
I see U.S. heading into the storm..with Trump at the helm.. With Jesus navigating the ship and in complete control.
I agree. I thought his inauguration speech was very good. One thing bothered me underneath. Often during the speech, he held up his right hand with the thumb and index finger joined, seemingly to emphasize certain points.
Was that repeated gesture simply a coincidence OR was it the Illuminati hand signal of the “6” or “triple 6” (where the three remaining fingers form the “tails” of three “6’s”)?
I continue to pray for his safety, but at the same time want to be awake and alert.
Peggy, I have made that gesture myself just as a gesture, not really thinking anything about it. I wouldn’t have thought anything about it if someone hadn’t pointed it out. I know it’s real, but I really wonder if that worry is needed. Just pray for him and his salvation.
What would really put me at rest is if he publicly acknowledged his great need for God’s wisdom and help. I’m very wary–but I did feel great emotion on hearing the “Battle Hymn of the Republic.” I agree John (above)–very prophetic. Blessings, Peggy!
Jeanne and Everyone,
If you haven’t listened to Pastor Benjamin Faircloth today, I would highly recommend it. His word from the Lord begins at about 12:22. It doesn’t address the hand signals, but other general info. (Sunday, 1/22/2017 Message “The House of Fire.”)

I’m with you, Peggy! Don’t worry!

And balancing what I have posted above, here is some very good news about Trump on a practical level from DAVE HODGES (The Common Sense Show).

I listened to it Peggy, and as I watched Trump’s speech during the inauguration, and overall it had so much PRIDE injected into it, I had to cringe a couple of times. It had undertones of how America and only America was going to be #1 again, when at the same time I was thinking he should be giving the glory to God as #1! Of course Pastor Faircloth hit the nail on the head and noticed it too. Like he said, ‘pride before a fall’. I still hold to the belief that God can use Trump to expose evil just like he used King Cyrus, but also I feel like if his pride gets the best of him he will lead this country into disaster, which is where it is headed anyway. There are a couple of good articles on http://www.whygodreallyexists.com that Jeremiah Johnson wrote including some dreams and visions he has had about Trump that are very good.
“Pride: The Territorial Demonic Spirit Over the United States” (11/21/2015.)
Also, I will note that BETTE STEVENS had noted probably a year ago that there was a demonic spirit of false peace over this nation.
I think it’s fine to pray for Trump and our government. I do so several times a day. We just need to be vigilant; continuing to watch, pray, and follow the leading of the Holy Spirit.

Here’s a post to consider:
“Warning Dream About Trump: All is Not What it Seems” (5/11/2016).
https://believeacts2blog.wordpress.com/2016/05/11/5-11-16-warning-dream-about-trump-all-is-not-what-it-seems/
Nancy I believe you are 100% accurate on this. God can use anyone for his will to be done. But Trump will fall because of his PRIDE. A good friend of mine has confirmed this. God Bless.
Jeanne,
Playing the opposite side here, about great emotion on hearing “Battle Hymn.” I agree, music, fireworks, and the Lincoln Memorial can stir strong positive emotions. Remember our mind, will, and emotions are not saved, but in process of sanctification. (Our spirit is born-again/saved.) Truly, only the Word of God and whether folks are following it and in a state of humble repentance before a Holy God is all that matters.
I welcome your discussion, though, Jeanne. I’m not arguing.
Oh, I know, Peggy! No problem. You and I have been (and still are) on the same page. Just listened to Pastor Faircloth. Yep.
James, remember back in February I had laid down to take a nap and was awaken by a gun shot to the left side of my head and heard the word Lincoln. And I asked God what it meant and He said it had to meaning. that is all I ever got
Thanks for sharing that Michelle. It is interesting too since Lincoln was shot in the left side of his head, which fits what you saw and also fits what we are seeing today with the attacks against Trump coming from the left. I found the following autopsy report from Lincoln’s doctor.
Lincoln was shot in the left side of his brain.
Dr. Woodward and I proceeded to open the head and remove the brain down to the track of the ball. The latter had entered a little to the left of the median line at the back of the head, had passed almost directly forwards through the center of the brain and lodged.
https://www.nlm.nih.gov/visibleproofs/galleries/cases/lincoln.html
that is amazing James. The sound was so loud it left my head ringing for the rest of the day. It was so real
His opening dance song was “I did it my way”…”the end is near….” My daughter, who doesn’t seem to like Trump very much, says she feels sad whenever she sees him. She said, I just don’t want anyone to hurt him.
I just noticed some else mentioned that!
“I Did It My Way” is only valid if it lined up with God’s Way as taught in the Holy Bible. If it isn’t, it’s really the theme song of Hell.
-Below in quotations is a post that I made on a blog back in April of 2016 about a true experience that has to do with hearing the song “I Did It My Way.”
*************************************************************************************
“NOW, WHAT’S WRONG WITH THESE LYRICS? (at the bottom) CHECK OUT THE CAPITALIZED WORDS.SOMETHING’S WRONG! DOESN’T THE BIBLE SAY TO DO THINGS “HIS WAY” ACCORDING TO “HIS WORD”? IN THE END, WE HAVE A THE CHOICE:
WE CAN DO IT GOD’S WAY OR WE CAN DO IT GOD’S WAY, BUT WE WILL DO IT GOD’S WAY!!!
Okay, in PART 16, D.W. had prophesied the Big Smile, the Big Heart (HIS Love), and the
Rainbow (HIS Promise) as well as a Wedding SURPRISE! We had definitely seen the first two icons and had the SURPRISE on the Wedding Day. But, so far, no Rainbow.
Well, on April 7th, J. and I were returning from seeing a fabulous production of “Samson” (from the Bible) at “Sight and Sound” in Lancaster County, Pa. We were there because as a Wedding Present, someone had purchased two tickets for us to go on this delightful bus trip. We had a great time.
We were travelling home and as we got toward the bridge to cross over to New Jersey, a song was sung on the tasteful concert that was playing away on the screens inside the bus. The group heard the announcement of the song and the pleasing sounding music. All through the place, folks oohed and aahed that— “Oh, I just LOVE this song.” I knew the lyrics, and granted, the music was entrancing, BUT— suddenly I said to J. This is not good at all. I think it’s the “THEME SONG OF HELL.” I was very unhappy that folks were being deceived by the beautiful music which was very well done. How can we get to Heaven by “doing it MY WAY”? We felt alone in a crowd that was being pulled in deceitfully. We felt very “Odd for God.”
Next thing you know, the bus pulled into the large parking lot of the beautiful library. Our journey for the day had ended. At the beginning of the trip, the Leader had announced the we had recently been married. We got to the front of the bus, and a lady in the front seat said very warmly, “Congratulations and have a beautiful life together.” I stepped off the bus and headed for the car. J. was right behind me.
Immediately, we saw the biggest and most beautiful rainbow we had ever seen together! It was very thick and very vibrant in all of the colors. We saw it directly in front of us over the Library. We saw the entire span of it! We stood in perfect awe of God’s Promise, and knew right away that it was the Rainbow that D.W. had written/prophesied about!
Part of me thought that God was pleased with our thoughts about that song we had heard on the bus and our unwillingness to join the crowd and just “enjoy” the deceit. I started to see His way of doing things more and more and how it pleased Him when people did not compromise His Word and His Way.
Please be encouraged as you stand apart from the crowd; set apart for Him. Your reward will be very great. I have seen much evidence of this, even now. He will never fail you if you DO IT HIS WAY!
Also, be discerning enough to spot Satan’s tricks of deceit. Since he was once the “worship leader” in Heaven, he’s after the music in this world. He wants to corrupt it. He wants our worship. NEVER EVER give it to him. DO IT GOD’S WAY!
MY WAY- a song sung by Frank Sinatra
And now, the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My friend, I’ll say it clear
I’ll state my case, of which I’m certain
I’ve lived a life that’s full
I’ve traveled each and every highway
But more, much more than this
I DID IT MY WAY
Regrets, I’ve had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption
I planned each charted course
Each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this
I DID IT MY WAY
Yes, there were times, I’m sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all, when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall
I DID IT MY WAY
I’ve loved, I’ve laughed and cried
I’ve had my fill my share of losing
And now, as tears subside
I find it all so amusing
To think I did all that
And may I say – not in a shy way
Oh no, oh no, not me
I DID IT MY WAY
For what is a man, what has he got
If not himself, then he has naught
To say the things he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows
AND DID IT MY WAY
YES, IT WAS MY WAY

I wanted to share that I was able to attend the inauguration yesterday. I am at once very encouraged and very discouraged by what we saw there. There were many apparent Christians there in the crowd–saying “Amen!” at the end of the prayers and things like that, but many very angry people as well. The kind of people who would yell, “Get a job!” at the protesters just standing there holding signs. One thing I’d like to say is that I feel the media is blowing the protester presence WAY out of proportion. We walked all over DC during the day–and I mean all over!–and not once did we feel unsafe in any way. We saw only a smattering of protesters here and there; just three or four in a group. There was one group of maybe 30 people on the steps of a government building with signs in front of a camera, getting their “protest” set up for a good camera shot. That was the most organized group we saw. We left late afternoon, before dark, so I cannot speak to anything later than that, but we saw no sign of George Soro’s “1200 buses of protesters” or really any organized anything. We rode the metro in from across the river, and the metro was fine too. One thing that I have not seen mentioned is that when each of the politicians were announced, the crowd would clap, or fairly mild round of “Booo!” But when the Obamas were announced, the crowd was totally quiet. Too well-mannered a crowd, I think, to actually boo the president and his wife, but absolutely no clapping, either. The Obamas flew away in the helicopter before the inauguration was even over. I think that raised some eyebrows. But mostly I wanted to say that I feel the press is trying to make it look like there was huge unrest there all day, and that there were significant disruptions, but we never saw anything like that at all.
Thank you for sharing this positive feedback. My husband and I are South Africans and because of the limited news stations we have, were forced to watch the inauguration from biased tv stations, (CNN and BBC). At times their divisive anti-Trump comments were so bad that we had to cut the sound.
The inauguration itself was beautiful though, and very encouraging to hear public prayers in the name of Jesus Christ. We celebrate Trump’s presidency with you and will continue to pray for unity in your nation. Much division had been sown in your country (as is in much of the world) and we understand that unity will not come overnight, but God is far more powerful than the enemy of our souls! Let’s continue to pray for His will to be done, and His Kingdom to come here on earth as it is in heaven.
Amen Sandi !

I find that RT tends to be fairly good at delivering more neutral news. However, they all have some inherent bias.
I agree, we also find RT more neutral. But they do seem a bit biased against Isreal.
Thanks for sharing this report as an eye witness A. Ayer.
A. Ayer,
I was there as also. I agree with your assessment. We walked all over D.C. as well. There were lots of police and national guard throughout with some roads blocked off due to protestors. But I didn’t see anything major nor did I feel unsafe. I was cautious though. It was an amazing experience.
Here’s some sad footage. Some is from the day of the Inauguration, and some is the day after. I heard that 100 protesters are in jail for what they did on the day of the Inauguration. Particularly sad are the huge “women’s” marches the day, although they weren’t violent.

I received this Scripture and original prayer from a friend today:
“Justice is a lost cause. Evil is epidemic. Decent people throw up their hands. Protest and rebuke are useless, a waste of breath. Seek good and not evil— and live! You talk about God, the God-of-the-Angel-Armies, being your best friend. Well, live like it, and maybe it will happen” (Amos 5:13-14 – The Message translation).
Lord Jesus, verse 13 sounds like America today! There’s no justice, evil is rampant, everywhere, and decent people are giving up on trying to protest injustice and stand for what’s right. However, amidst all this, You want us to consistently seek good and not evil – that we may live. This doesn’t mean just literal survival – You are also talking about us prospering and being blessed while on the earth. May we gravitate towards and pursue all things good and godly! And may we also RUN from all things evil and unpleasing to You. Some of us may feel distant from You, or not as close as we once were. If so, we need to evaluate our hearts and our lives. Are there things we need to repent of? Are there things, choices or people we need to remove ourselves from? As we seek to please You and make godly adjustments and decisions – we WILL feel closer to You. Like Your word says: Draw near to God and He will draw near to You. Thank You for Your instruction! Amen.
The “women’s marches” remind me of this “Learned Helplessness Phenomena” as explained by DAVE HODGES on the Common Sense Show:

today is the day I walk away from Z3 and not look back. There is no sharing of light with darkness.
Is the day of the Lord cancelled?
Here’s something more to consider through JEFF BYERLY (Z3 Author).
“Refocus on Me Now!” (1/21/2017).

Simon,No,the “Day of the Lord”has not been cancelled…Its still in the future (nearer than some will desire…actually Amos 5:18…says ” Woe to you that desire the Day of the Lord!to what end is it for you?The day of the Lord is darkness,and not light..
Simon, NO, God’s timing is perfect. Go to Jeff Byerly’s site and read his post (below on Peggy’s comment).
Wow. That seems harsh.
OK, but some explanation would have been nice.
As long as you live in this world you will share the light with darkness. and on the flip side of what you might have meant, as Christians we are to share the light of Jesus Christ, the light of the world to shine in the darkness. Just saying.
It must be the adoration and all the free passes that Trump gets. God uses all types of men for his purposes but the Bushes and Reagans pulled the wool over Christians eyes then and they fall for it every time. You should not idolize a man with such dichotomies. Can anyone answer why he is just fine with gay marriage? He said the law supporting gay marriage has been put in place and he will not fight to change it nor will he push to bring the Clintons or Obamas to justice. If he caves in on defunding Planned Parenthood then you know he is a complete fraud You are then denying the Bible if you think he is a Christian.
Here’s a 14 minute video by BETTE STEVENS (Z3 Author) that may help shed some light.

Denny, I would encourage you to not give up on this site. I believe that alot of why we keep feeling like the rug is being pulled out from under us when we think we have figured it all out is God’s way of telling us to keep our focus on Him. And to keep our faith in Him, I believe that the different interpretations are parts of the puzzle and God can use a person like Trump to fulfill a two-fold purpose.
thank you Nancy Marie and Peggy. Its not that I have placed trust in the words and preditions of man, I feel that this is the time for me personally to press in closer to our Lord and be still in the chaos to hear from Him with more clarity and resolve. This was the only website of it’s kind that I would read with any regularity, and I cannot think of any one outcome that was not already settle between me and God already. I have not shared my dreams publicly, but they have had nothing to do with Obama, and the website owner here has an alternate view…I prayed and felt that this is an ideal time to make my relationship with our Lord of a better, stronger and more trusting faith. I have learned many things here yes, but it is nigh time I press on into the next refined chapter of my walk.
kind regards and many blessings
Dennis
I felt the same way regarding another prophecy site and even decided not to read any more prophecies at all from anyone Jan. 19. It was the contradictions and how it didn’t make any sense to me to bother my head trying to figure out who is right and who is false. I really got the group mad when I said I am distancing myself from all modern day prophecies and just depending on the Bible and being informed of what is really happening in the world. Reason and Scripture should be enough. What do we need prophecy for? Why would the Lord be doing this; it isn’t edifying nor profitable!
That night I couldn’t sleep until I discerned an answer. He gives these prophecies because He wants us to know we are in the end days, He is coming soon AND the Church isn’t ready.
Denny,
If you really do leave Z3, please continue to stay in prayer and in God’s Word in all diligence. Judgement is still coming. We must be READY at all times.
At the opening inaugural event, he and Melania walked out to a Rolling Stones song called. “Heart of stone “. Heard it and was perplexed why, of all songs, that would be the choice.
The same day, at the Why God Really Exists website, there was an article about Bible codes saying President Trump is in danger. One of the scriptures quoted was the one in Ezekiel about the heart of stone being turned to a heart of clay. I sense that it’s a prayer focus ; without a heart change, the danger will lurk because of free will choice to seek the Lord or not.
Excellent catch on that song. The song I caught was the first preidential dance song. ” This is the end ” I dont know if thar was the name but that was one of the first lines in the song.
Actually, it was a little worse than that :). It was Frank Sinatra’s “My Way”. First line “and now, the end is near, and so I face, the final curtain..” The song goes beyond simple self determination to pride.
Thankyou James for posting this. I noticed that President Trump said that he would sleep in the Lincoln bedroom the evening of the inauguration. I believe that you said it correctly concerning the high price to be paid for the uniting.America being great again will not (IMO) be as many think…Great as in a mustard seed…Small….pure….
Although I did not “celebrate “as some did believing in a U.S Topia .I celebrated in my spirit know God’s will be done in our nation.I see why the ungodly are so anti- Trump…Houses are about to be cleansed..Not a good thing for the rebellious..Some “Christians “will fall into this category….
May we all drawer nearer…DRAW ME NEARER,NEARER BLESSED LORD, as the hymn goes…I am thankful for His rightouesness judgements.Now to be found on HIS side…Rick Joyners book,” FinalQuest” is an important read for the body of Christ at this time to help navigate us through what we are going to deal with ……more so in the days ahead..Please read this church….it gives understanding to where we are…Thanks again James for your labor of love to us,(the body).
Jesus told Rick Joyner, “I didn’t come to take sides,I came to take over”……We are to choose His side……..Which we will know by being intimate….Only the Bride experience intimacy..
Blessings today
Great word Diana !
God bless you !
Thank you Sonia,God bless you and watch over you sister:)
Hi Diana, I read the Final Quest a few times when it was published, I must read it again, thanks. God bless you sister.
Mikey H,That’s great….I am just now getting back into it also after reading it many years ago.Now is the season for the fulfilment of many things written therein….May I encourage others also to read this..Here is an excerpt from the book”Final Quest”…”there were thousands of soldiers, but there were still greatly outnumbered. I was shocked and disheartened, for it seemed there were actually many more Christians being used by the evil one than there were in the army of the Lord. I knew that the battle that was about to begin was going to be viewed as the Great Christian Civil War because very few would understand the dark powers that were behind the impending conflict.”…. The book was written in 1996 about the vision God gave Rick concerning the ” greatest and last battle between light and darkness”..which is by far more prevalent now than 20 years ago..Many great insights, especially bringing to light how the demos ride the backs of christians causing them to fight each other.Amazing….the evil ones devices to cause division…”The primary strategy of this army was to cause division on every possible level of relationship ………
Churches with each other, congregations with their pastors,husbands and wives,children and parents,and even children with each other…”
Anyways,with all that’s upon us now,it would be an appropriate time for seeing what we are facing.Of course as Holy Spirit leads us on our path..Blessings to you,
+demons.

God Bless you all, let’s stay focused on Christ as we wait upon the Lord. May God help us persevere daily and intercede for others.
Glad to see someone notice as I did the venue and that specific song. Listening to the words of that song made me very emotional as I thought the selection of that song had prophetic significance. In my opinion the song was prophetic then as it is now. I cannot listen to that song without getting chills and wondering the price that will be paid to unite this divided nation once again. God’s justice suffers long but it does not sleep forever!
I thought the same thing. I have always loved that song, but hearing now and in the context we find ourselves in, it was extremely poignant.
