GIVE THEM WHAT THEY DESERVE
MAGA supporters especially the ones claiming to be Christians should remind us of the story of Samuel and his sons. The Bible tells us that Samuel ministered to God with the priest Eli at the Tabernacle as he grew up. God’s favor was upon Samuel because he was a faithful young man. For this article, Samuel is the United States/Constitution. We’ve tried to remain faithful to the ideals as Samuel was faithful as we strive to improve it for everyone on our form a more perfect union. Trump and the MAGA movement represent the sons of Samuel who didn’t walk in his ways but have turned aside after dishonest gain, took bribes, and perverted justice” (1 Samuel 8:1,3)
The MAGAS reject Democracy because they have grown weary of the arrangement of Democracy and want something new as they see in Putin, Kim Jong Il, Bashar al-Assad, Viktor Orban, etc. The Trump MAGAS wants to follow the dictatorship customs of these nations around us like the people wanted a type of king during the time of Samuel (1 Samuel 8:7) with a human cult-like leader like the ones around them at that time.
Biblically this is the same thing we have with the MAGA folks. They want a human ruler/dictator who could visibly (Trump’s racist/offensive outbursts) lead them into battle, be their chief judge, and establish laws (Project 2025) as he sees fit. The people back during the time of Samuel like the MAGA folks think that’s the type of leader that’s going to save the day. Just like Samuel was inspired by God so was this article to warn them of the consequences of their political choice and I say the same thing today as Samuel warned them that they would “cry out in that day because of your king whom you have chosen for yourselves, and the LORD will not hear you in that day” (v.18)
If Trump is elected by these fake evangelical so-called Christians the MAGA followers will get what they deserve like the Israelites got Saul which was everything that looked good turned out to be very bad for the nation because just like Saul with Trump instead of wisdom he will show foolishness. Instead of mercy and benevolence, he has shown nothing but a streak of jealousy like in crowd size and vengefulness like his plans to corrupt the Justice Department. Look how foolish Saul was when he instructed the army to fast during a day of battle with the powerful Philistines and compare that to the million people who died under the Trump COVID-19 response. Trump has so many similarities with Saul and other bad leadership qualities that are written in the biblical texts.
The strangest thing is these fake Christians are easily revealed through the Gospel because they’re following a cult leader vowing to go after immigrants in the largest roundup and camp in American history. How can these Christians say “God Bless America” when God said about immigrants and sojourners? There’s 22 bible verses about welcoming immigrants so why would God Bless America when we ignore all 22 verses and Trump & his MAGAS are targeting immigrants not welcoming them and treating them like the bible says. For these Christians in Alabama, especially white supremacist-minded evangelicals Jesus and the Gospel are only a smoke screen and cloak to achieve a demonic end of supremacy.
