#405: Trump Puts Europe on Notice
President Donald Trump’s “America first” policy has world leaders “quaking in their boots,” Charles Krauthammer said after the inauguration. President Trump’s tough stance against nato is forcing Europe, especially Germany, to rethink how it will defend itself without America’s help. On today’s program, Stephen Flurry discusses what to expect in Europe as America turns inward.
#404: Donald Trump and the Jeroboam End
America entered into a new prophetic time period on Friday with the inauguration of Donald Trump as president of the United States. The Prophet Amos describes this as the period when God “will not again pass by them any more.” It is a prophecy at odds with just about everything President Trump said during his address on Friday. On today’s show, Stephen Flurry explains where we are in Bible prophecy after the President Trump’s inauguration, and what Bible prophecy specifically says about the new president and his agenda.
#403: Inauguration Day, the Reagan Bible, America in Prophecy and the Great Tribulation
When Ronald Reagan was sworn into office in 1981, he had the Bible open to 2 Chronicles 7:14, “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” America’s new vice president, Mike Pence, will be sworn in using that same Bible, open to that same verse. The context of this verse also describes what will happen to a nation that turns away from God. It’s a message many people don’t want to hear, but God says emphatically that these scriptures apply to our nations today. On today’s show, Stephen Flurry explains the profound depth of this verse and the tremendous blessings that come from obeying it.
#402: Trump’s Pledge to Reward Britain, His Challenge to Germany and His Love Affair With Putin
On today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show, Stephen Flurry examines some of the drastic changes we can expect to see under the administration of Donald Trump. Mr. Trump’s animosity toward the European Union is helping drive the United Kingdom toward the United States. Bible prophecy, however, warns that Britain will follow America down the path to ruin. Mr. Trump’s rejection of the EU in favor of Vladimir Putin’s Russia is also a deeply disturbing trend that shows just how far America has drifted from God. All this, and more on today’s show.
#401: The Despicable Commutation of Private Manning and the Media’s Love Affair With Barack Obama
Pvt. Bradley Manning was serving a 35-year prison sentence for leaking top-secret documents that jeopardized America’s national security. He turned the documents over to Wikileaks, an anti-American activist group. On Tuesday, against wishes of his defense secretary and top Army leaders, President Barack Obama commuted Manning’s sentence. What is behind this last-minute decision to free Private Manning? Listen to Stephen Flurry explain on today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show.
#400: Donald Trump and the Post-Truth World
Following the United States election in November, the major media blamed Donald Trump’s stunning victory on the dissemination of “fake news” by right-wing types. In fact, fake news permeates every division of the major media conglomerate. And as Melanie Phillips noted in a recent column, this “post-truth” culture started decades ago with the doctrine of postmodernism—the belief that truth is relative, that there are no absolutes. Truth in journalism simply is not valued the way it once was. On today’s program, Stephen Flurry explains how important it is to be diligent seekers of truth—especially in the post-truth world of today.
#399: Transition Week: Obama Rushes to Regulate as Trump Slams the EU and Reaches Out to Britain
In 2008, Barack Obama promised to curb the power of the executive branch in the United States government. He’s now down to his last week in office and, contrary to his campaign promise, he’s exercising all the executive powers he can in order to protect his legacy.
Meanwhile, incoming President-elect Donald Trump is severing relations with the European Union and embracing Britain. On today’s show, Stephen Flurry explains what Bible prophecy says about the significance of these trends.
#398: No More Special Treatment for Cuban Refugees and the Myth of America’s Invincible Military
Throughout his presidency, United States President Barack Obama routinely offered concessions to authoritarian regimes without demanding anything in return. And with just seven days left in office, he’s done it again. Mr. Obama gave in to demands from Cuba to stop the “wet foot, dry foot” policy for Cuban refugees, effectively closing the U.S. to those fleeing prison in Cuba. The move is all the more disingenuous when you consider that America’s southern border with Mexico has been left wide open. On today’s show, Stephen Flurry discusses this latest decision from the outgoing president and also why the U.S. military isn’t as strong as most people believe it to be.
#397: Trump’s Wall and World War 3
President-Elect Donald Trump gave his first press conference in 167 days on January 11. President Trump say he will be the “be the greatest jobs producer that God ever created.” But do his policies really indicate a much more inward focused and insular America. And will Donald Trump’s tough talk lead to a trade war? Conditions today are in many ways eerily similar to those during President Richard Nixon’s time in office. What does this mean for the future of America? And do the forecasts made by Herbert W. Armstrong during Nixon’s tenure reveal America’s near future?
#396: President Obama’s Farewell, a Piece of Parchment and Germany’s New Military Posture
United States President Barack Obama gave his farewell address last night back in Chicago where his presidential run began in 2008. He said America “is a better, stronger place than it was when we started.” President Obama was successful at implementing his leftist agenda, but it hasn’t made America better. Many people are unable to see why. On today’s show, Stephen Flurry examines the president’s farewell address and looks into what’s behind the baseless optimism of the liberal elites.
