The Constitution of the United States is the law of the land. The President is elected to uphold the constitution.
A few weeks ago, I did a news update called “Repudiating Every Principle of the Constitution – Gun Control and School Prayer”. Shortly following this update, much pressure has been made on the Whitehouse and Donald Trump.
Trump has since responded saying “I like taking the guns early, like in this crazy man’s case that just took place in Florida,” Trump said at a White House discussion with a group of lawmakers on school safety and gun policy reform. “To go to court would have taken a long time,” Trump said.
Before Trump said that, Mike Pence suggested that new gun policies should “give families and local law enforcement … the ability to go to court, obtain an order and then collect not only the firearms but any weapon” from a potentially dangerous individual.
Pence was saying that such proposal should “allow due process.” But Trump, interrupting Pence, said that law enforcement officials should “take the firearms first and then go to court.” Ignoring due process.
I watched a movie once called Minority Report. The movie is about the future where a special police unit is able to arrest murderers before they commit their crimes, in the movie an officer from that unit is himself accused of a future murder. You see, when you can put people away for thought crime, well, it won’t be long before people are put away for speaking against anything. Freedom of speech begins to have limits. And I’m sure that perhaps an amendment will be made to correct that as well.
So what I’m getting at is where this is leading. The leaders are crying out for a constitutional convention. And there is not a doubt where this is leading. George Washington said it this way:
“Firearms stand next in importance to the constitution itself. They are the American people’s liberty teeth and keystone under independence … from the hour the Pilgrims landed to the present day, events, occurences and tendencies prove that to ensure peace security and happiness, the rifle and pistol are equally indispensable … the very atmosphere of firearms anywhere restrains evil interference — they deserve a place of honor with all that’s good.” (George Washington First President of the United States)
It is apparent that the founders of the country believed the second amendment to secure peace in the country. And for many years there has been. In fact, most mass shootings happen where guns are outlawed. Perhaps, if there were armed citizens in the schools, the gunman wouldn’t make it very far. Just as in Switzerland where the guns are not outlawed, the murder rate is one of the lowest, and there hasn’t been a mass shooting since 2001. So why today is the headline 17 Mass Shootings in last 45 days? 17 in 45 days in America compared to 0 in 17 years in Switzerland.
The answer is obvious to anyone willing to do the research. I’m not advocating that Christians go get a gun. I’m just saying that the criminal won’t get too far in a society where they know there are many guns in the hands of law abiding citizens. Perhaps that was why George Washington was saying that they were indispensable to peace.
But besides all this? What is Trump really saying? Well, that the second amendment doesn’t matter. Neither does the fifth amendment which reads that a person should not be “deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.”
But yet, Donald Trump has just said “take the guns first” then go to court. You see, Donald Trump does not seem to care about the constitution of the United States. He keeps talking about how he is going to give power to the church, and writing executive orders that supposedly promote religious liberty when the first amendment of the constitution protects it beyond whatever Trump could ever do.
Trump needs to stop writing executive orders for the church, and read the first line of the first amendment of the constitution which reads “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.” And that means no law. He also needs to understand the history of why the founders put that law into the constitution. To keep the church from being able to legislate.
But we have been told in prophecy that the United States though it protected liberty would eventually “exercise all the power of the first beast before it” (Rev 13:12) That is the power that was given to the Papacy by the Dragon, or Imperial Rome by Emperor Justinian during the dark ages.
Just as the Roman State gave power to the Roman Church, and the republic became a tyrannical police state controlled by the church. So in America as the constitutional republic falls, men like Donald Trump who have promised the church great power, will be able to give it.
And so too, as many consider the constitution to be old and outdated, many of the leaders are calling for a convention of states in order to propose amendments to the constitution. This is all leading to a fulfillment of prophecy, as Apostate Protestant America gains the power to legislate religious laws.
“… our country shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and republican government.” {EG White 5 Testimonies 451.1}
