An Ancient Story that could be relived in our day. (Based on
prophecies given by Kim Clement in 2008 and 2014)
David and the Amalekites
[1Sa 30:1 NLT] Three days later, when David and his men
arrived home at their town of Ziklag, they found that the Amalekites had made a
raid into the Negev and Ziklag; they had crushed Ziklag and burned it to the
ground.
President
Trump, likened to David of the Old Testament, finds his nation torn and shattered,
filled with lawlessness, perversion, evil of all sorts, and the people abused
by evil people that have taken over the nation.
[1Sa 30:2 NLT] They had carried off the women and children
and everyone else but without killing anyone.
[1Sa 30:3 NLT] When David and his men saw the ruins and
realized what had happened to their families,
[1Sa 30:4 NLT] they wept until they could weep no more.
Some of those supporting and loyal to Trump become
discouraged and even bitter. Some become traitors and turn on him.
[1Sa 30:5 NLT] David's two wives, Ahinoam from Jezreel and
Abigail, the widow of Nabal from Carmel, were among those captured.
Trump’s own family is adversely affected by the evil.
[1Sa 30:6 NLT] David was now in great danger because all his
men were very bitter about losing their sons and daughters, and they began to
talk of stoning him. But David found strength in the LORD his God.
In danger and distress, Trump turns to the LORD his God and
finds strength.
[1Sa 30:7 NLT] Then he said to Abiathar the priest,
"Bring me the ephod!" So Abiathar brought it.
He then personally calls to the LORD seeking guidance and
direction. Many other God-fearing believers join him in prayer and intercession
seeking the LORD’s direction.
[1Sa 30:8 NLT] Then David asked the LORD, "Should I
chase after this band of raiders? Will I catch them?" And the LORD told
him, "Yes, go after them. You will surely recover everything that was
taken from you!"
The LORD responds with a direct and personal word to Trump to
pursue those who had plundered his nation promising that he would recover
everything that had been stolen, destroyed, or mutilated into something evil.
[1Sa 30:9 NLT] So David and his 600 men set out, and they
came to the brook Besor.
[1Sa 30:10 NLT] But 200 of the men were too exhausted to
cross the brook, so David continued the pursuit with 400 men.
As Trump and his troops move against the enemy, some supporters
become weary and fall behind, others are asked to be a support team backing up
the front-line troops in intercession, logistics, and communications.
[1Sa 30:11 NLT] Along the way they found an Egyptian man in
a field and brought him to David. They gave him some bread to eat and water to
drink.
[1Sa 30:12 NLT] They also gave him part of a fig cake and
two clusters of raisins, for he hadn't had anything to eat or drink for three
days and nights. Before long his strength returned.
[1Sa 30:13 NLT] "To whom do you belong, and where do
you come from?" David asked him. "I am an Egyptian--the slave of an
Amalekite," he replied. "My master abandoned me three days ago
because I was sick.
[1Sa 30:14 NLT] We were on our way back from raiding the
Kerethites in the Negev, the territory of Judah, and the land of Caleb, and we
had just burned Ziklag."
[1Sa 30:15 NLT] "Will you lead me to this band of
raiders?" David asked. The young man replied, "If you take an oath in
God's name that you will not kill me or give me back to my master, then I will
guide you to them."
As a part of the battle, someone from the enemy’s camp will
turn to help Trump and will be instrumental in overcoming the enemy.
[1Sa 30:16 NLT] So he led David to them, and they found the
Amalekites spread out across the fields, eating and drinking and dancing with
joy because of the vast amount of plunder they had taken from the Philistines
and the land of Judah.
At the attack the enemy will be found drunk with power, pride,
and presumption, reveling in what they think is their great victory. Mocking what
they believe to be just a relatively few, weak warriors with Trump, and unaware
of the ingenious plans of attack, they are set up for a great defeat.
[1Sa 30:17 NLT] David and his men rushed in among them and
slaughtered them throughout that night and the entire next day until evening.
None of the Amalekites escaped except 400 young men who fled on camels.
Most of the evil enemies are brought to justice, many executed
for their crimes against the nation and humanity. Only a few manage to escape
into the darkness of exile and disgrace.
[1Sa 30:18 NLT] David got back everything the Amalekites had
taken, and he rescued his two wives.
[1Sa 30:19 NLT] Nothing was missing: small or great, son or
daughter, nor anything else that had been taken. David brought everything back.
[1Sa 30:20 NLT] He also recovered all the flocks and herds,
and his men drove them ahead of the other livestock. "This plunder belongs
to David!" they said.
Everything that the enemy had taken, mangled, or destroyed is
recovered and restored. Even more, what good things the enemy had now belong to
Trump and his people. The victory will produce blessings even greater than those
before the evil takeover of the nation. “The best is yet to come”.
[1Sa 30:21 NLT] Then David returned to the brook Besor and
met up with the 200 men who had been left behind because they were too
exhausted to go with him. They went out to meet David and his men, and David
greeted them joyfully.
[1Sa 30:22 NLT] But some evil troublemakers among David's
men said, "They didn't go with us, so they can't have any of the plunder
we recovered. Give them their wives and children, and tell them to be
gone."
After this victory, evil trouble makers will still be found
in the nation.
[1Sa 30:23 NLT] But David said, "No, my brothers! Don't
be selfish with what the LORD has given us. He has kept us safe and helped us
defeat the band of raiders that attacked us.
But even these trouble makers will be called brothers and
will share in the spoils of the battle.
[1Sa 30:24 NLT] Who will listen when you talk like this? We
share and share alike--those who go to battle and those who guard the
equipment."
[1Sa 30:25 NLT] From then on David made this a decree and
regulation for Israel, and it is still followed today.
[1Sa 30:26 NLT] When he arrived at Ziklag, David sent part
of the plunder to the elders of Judah, who were his friends. "Here is a
present for you, taken from the LORD's enemies," he said.
[1Sa 30:27 NLT] The gifts were sent to the people of the
following towns David had visited: Bethel, Ramoth-negev, Jattir,
[1Sa 30:28 NLT] Aroer, Siphmoth, Eshtemoa,
[1Sa 30:29 NLT] Racal, the towns of the Jerahmeelites, the
towns of the Kenites,
[1Sa 30:30 NLT] Hormah, Bor-ashan, Athach,
[1Sa 30:31 NLT] Hebron, and all the other places David and
his men had visited.
Giving credit to the LORD for his victory, Trump will share
the spoils of the battle taken from the LORD’s enemies. This will include those
that actively fought with him, those that served as the support team, the
elders of other nations who are his friends, and all the people of the world will
be blessed, even those who had opposed him.
The battle is the LORD’s. The
victory is the LORD’s. The spoils of the battle are the LORD’s. And the
blessings will be not only for America, but also for all the world.
