Regarding pagan King Cyrus of Persia:

“I am the Lord, and there is no other;

Besides Me there is no God.

I will gird you, **though you have not known Me;**

That men may know from the rising to the setting of the sun

That there is no one besides Me.

I am the Lord, and there is no other,

The One forming light and creating darkness,

Causing well-being and creating calamity;

I am the Lord who does all these.”

— Isaiah 45:5-7 NASB1995 (Emphasis mine)

I believe God is using Donald Trump just as He used King Cyrus to free the captive Israelites to go back to Jerusalem to rebuild their temple and financed it out of his treasury and later he believed in the Hebrew God!

Interesting comment, John--shows you're a student of world history as well as the Holy Bible!

Perhaps that's how the Donald got three Miracle Vaccines for us, had spies and betrayers among his followers, was associated with a few harlots and accused of soliciting their services, was brought before the court and wrongly accused during Holy Week. He's still a loveable mess and may God protect him and his family from the wicked who plot against him and us night and day.

Well stated (in written form)--good for you, W.P. That's what I truly appreciate about the C & C "army"--we may not always agree with each others' positions--but we're respectful of each other in spite of our differences! May it ever be so!!

The True Monarch of the Universe can most definitely use Donald and i pray even a fool such as myself; he is no villain and he wasn't the lesser of two evils in 2016 nor in 2020; he was the brash, tactless, unyielding symbol of real everyday modern working Americans (yes even in his spiritual life and expression). Not a wilting faker like GW Bush, not a superiorist like BH Obama, not a backbiting country clubber like Romney or a grifting hustler like Bill Clinton. Not a Republican first but an American first. May the Lord continue a good work in that man and awaken the others mentioned.
