So, was the election of Trump inevitable?
All this "duo" interpretation is just speculation.
Once upon a time it was Bill Clinton who was to stumble and be broken and Gore was to be president. That line of thinking changes all the time.
However, the question is interesting -- was the election of Trump inevitable?
In this the study of Daniel does give us some insight.
Daniel 2:21 "God removeth kings, and setteth up kings:
Daniel 4:17 "know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men."
Romans 13:1 ?There is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.?
These are interesting texts! Consider the verse in Romans 13:1. Paul probably wrote those words around A.D. 56-57. The emperor at the time was Nero. He had caused Christians considerable grief! Yet one does not see Paul lashing out against Nero We see no words urging impeachment. Paul was aware of Nero?s wickedness, yet he does not question why God put Nero in power.
When we follow prophecy as far as we can, we may have to wait for it to catch up to us.
Albert (6) Arnold (6) Gore II (6) =666 and he won the election, but did not become president
George (6) Walker (6) Bush (4) became President George (6) Walker (6) Bush II (6)
GW has a count of 666 by virtue of the fact that God put him in office
And then a fascinating study of Daniel 9 aligns with his inauguration day.
After President Bush II was inaugurated what was not understood before the fact became clear
when Daniel and Revelation explained themselves by their fulfillment.
The same is true of Presidents Bush II and Obama.
When Bush II fulfilled the 666 count, why would I look for anyone to come after him.
Then when Obama came along, it was back to the Bible to see what was missed
Then Bush II and Obama were understood to be like pagan and Papal Rome=2 phases.
Obama also linked to 666. End of the prophecy.
No need to look for another American President on the earth beast with 2 horns
Then comes Trump.
Where does he fit in Daniel 7 and the 2 lamblike horns in Revelation 13?
DUO explains that.
But not according to Green who says that the lamblike horns are not Presidents.
Green. Instead of seeing a progression of knowledge being increased,
looks at it as wrong, wrong, and wrong again.
Thus, Green takes the view that the book of revelation is mystical and its times are mystical
and she wants to wait and see.
I take the view that the times in Revelation are definite and they can be understood.
When I find something that I did not understand before the fact,
I compare what was know beforehand to what happened and search the Scriptures
to understand why the fulfillment was different than what I expected.
I conclude that it is possible to go from a partial understanding to a more complete understanding
Green concludes, "you got it wrong in the past, abandon you study, it is leading you astray."
As the final complete fulfillment is about to overtake us,
we will not have long to wait for the parable of the 10 virgins come upon us.
