Hillary Clinton and Some Biblical Prophecies
Hillary Clinton
Hillary Rodham Clinton announced her candidacy for the office of US President:
April 12, 2015
Hillary Clinton formally launched her second presidential bid today, with a different approach from 2008 aimed at convincing voters through small-group settings that she has ideas for helping the middle class and the skills to govern.
“Everyday Americans need a champion. I want to be that champion,” Clinton says in a video posted on her new campaign website, hillaryclinton.com.
The long-awaited announcement came first via an email from campaign chairman John Podesta to supporters, according to the Associated Press and New York Times. Podesta says Clinton will talk to Iowa voters and hold a formal campaign kickoff next month. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2015/04/12/hillary-clinton-president-announcement-2016/22018067/
This move has long been expected (see Hillary Clinton in Prophecy).
Hillary Rodham Clinton wants to become president of the United States. She was the first Lady while her husband Bill was president, she also was a US Senator from New York and was the previous US Secretary of State.
Are there prophecies that could involve her?
I believe so, but first, some additional background may be helpful.
Hillary Clinton was born of parents who were basically of English, Welsh, Scottish, and French descent. Her heritage is of interest biblically. A reading of the Book of Genesis shows that Israel specifically placed his name on the two sons of Joseph named Ephraim and Manasseh (Genesis 48:14-16), neither of which were Jewish.
What does any of this have to do with Hillary Clinton?
Well as it turns out, since everyone had to descend from someone, ultimately their progenitors are somewhere listed in the Bible. Hence, biblical writings and prophecies can often be tied to descendants of those progenitors the Bible discusses.
Certain Jewish sages and others have recognized that the British peoples descended from the tribe of Ephraim (Davidiy Y. The Tribes, 4th edition. Russell-David Publishers, 2011, p. 384; Allen JH. Jacob’s Sceptre and Joseph’s Birthright, 19th edition. Destiny Publishers, 1902, pp. 315-317). Some also felt that by the time the U.S.A. formed, a high amount of the people who went to the land that the U.S. dominates had descended from the ancient tribe of Manasseh (Davidiy, p. 424-426).
In the Bible, the descendants of Joseph’s sons (Genesis 49:22-26) were promised prosperity and blessings, which the U.S.A. and its Anglo-Saxon descended allies have enjoyed. Yet, Jesus warned that “to whom much is given” from such “much will be required” (Luke 12:48). And the Bible also warns of curses for those who forsake God’s laws (Deuteronomy 28:15-57). So, blessings and cursings are in prophecies.
Without going into all the historical details here (many of which can be found in the article Anglo – America in Prophecy & the Lost Tribes of Israel), the connection with Mrs. Clinton’s heritage is of interest.
Why?
As it turns out, the four remaining predominantly British-descended nations (the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand) all have had not only queens (they shared the same ones), but all have already had a woman in the office of prime minister. The prime minister is the chief executive official in a parliamentary system of governance.
Since the physical territorial and other blessings affected the descendents of Ephraim first, it would seem that certain passages of scripture, such as Isaiah 3:12 discussing female rule, would also affect them first.
While the U.S. does not have a parliamentary form of governance with a prime minister, it does have a chief executive official who fills the office of president. And the U.S. has never had a female president.
Now, because the U.S. has already had women rule in high positions such as U.S. Supreme Court justices, senators, Chair of the Federal Reserve, and U.S. Secretary of State, it may not be prophetically required that a woman be its president to fulfill part of the prophecy in Isaiah 3:12. But since the Anglo-Saxon nations have all had females as their top executive, it would follow that the U.S.A. likely could as well. Could that be Hillary Rodham Clinton?
A 9/11 Prophecy?
It has been suggested that the following is a prophecy related to the terrorist attacks of 9/11/2001 (‘The Isaiah 9:10 Judgment’: U.S. in crosshairs. WND, February 20, 2012):
9 All the people will know — Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria — Who say in pride and arrogance of heart: 10 ‘The bricks have fallen down, But we will rebuild with hewn stones; The sycamores are cut down, But we will replace them with cedars.” (Isaiah 9:9-10)
Essentially the leaders of ancient Ephraim and Manasseh declared that they would rebuild. A few prophecy-watchers have stated that Isaiah 9:9-10 seems to be related to what happened in the U.S.A. because of the 9/11/2001 attacks.
How could this be related to Hillary Clinton?
Notice some of what Mrs. Clinton stated in 2007:
More than five years after 9/11, we still have not secured our borders, our railways, our mass transit systems, our ports, our chemical plants, our nuclear facilities and more…You know, one of the most discouraging aspects of the Bush-Cheney Administration is the way they have talked down America. They have been fatalistic. I reject that out of hand. We can do whatever we set our minds to. We can roll up our sleeves. We can be problem solvers again. And I have faith that we will answer that call. With your help we will rebuild America. (Clinton, Hillary: “Remarks on Infrastructure,” August 8, 2007. Online by Gerhard Peters and John T. Woolley, The American Presidency Project.)
At least one prophecy-watcher has believed that American politicians making statements like “we will rebuild” are taking defiance types of positions that Isaiah warned against (‘The Isaiah 9:10 Judgment’: U.S. in crosshairs. WND, February 2012). Like ancient Ephraim and Manasseh, God was left out of the equation.
Since certain prophecies about Samaria appear to be directed towards the U.S.A. of the 21st century (e.g. Isaiah 10:4-11; Hosea 7:1-3), and this makes those ties to Isaiah 9 potentially stronger.
Hillary Clinton has been one of several leaders to at least partially fulfill this because of how she has called for rebuilding. And she may do more along this line.
And lest anyone consider this version ‘Anglo-Israelism’ somehow racist, let me clearly state that I am physically not primarily a descendant of any of the children of Israel, I am of predominantly Gentile heritage, and I and our church believe that ethnicity is not a factor in salvation:
12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. 13 For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:12-13)
Warning About Female Leadership
Notice also that the Bible itself warns that if the children of Israel sinned and did not repent, the following would happen:
12 As for My people, children are their oppressors, And women rule over them. O My people! Those who lead you cause you to err, And destroy the way of your paths. (Isaiah 3:12)
So, we see a specific biblical prophecy warning of a time where there will be female rulers. And, as this has happened to descendants of Ephraim having a female in the top office, this would be expected to affect descendents and Manasseh. (Information on the roles of Christian women is in the article Women and the New Testament Church.)
Anyway, getting back to Hillary Clinton herself, the Bible warns:
16 For the leaders of this people cause them to err, And those who are led by them are destroyed. (Isaiah 9:16)
Since multiple millions of the physical descendants of Israel reside in the United States and we are getting close to the end, it is interesting to note that the above prophecy has been fulfilled, to a degree, during administrations of recent U.S. presidents (with issues such as abortion), and potentially will also be during a possible Hillary Clinton presidency.
Hilary Clinton herself has worked on many issues of political, economic, and social significance during her adult life; not all of which are biblically good.
She has long also been a promoter of abortion. Abortion is not good for the U.S.A. Here some of she has stated:
I strongly support Roe v. Wade. I also believe that abortion should be safe, legal and rare and that the government should do much more to support women so that the right guaranteed in our constitution is exercised in rare circumstances. (Clinton, Hillary; reported by Stacey D. Campaign 2008: Meet the Democratic Presidential Candidates. About Health, updated January 1, 2014)
Since the ‘legalization of abortion’ and the Roe vs. Wade U.S. Supreme Court decision that Hillary Clinton has repeatedly publicly endorsed, the U.S.A. has shifted from a creditor nation to a debtor nation (Howard J. Sherman, E. K. Hunt, Reynold F. Nesiba, Phillip Anthony O’Hara. Economics: An Introduction to Traditional and Progressive Views, 7th edition. M.E. Sharpe, 2008, p. 175).
The Bible teaches the following:
16… The Lord hates …. are an abomination to Him:
17 A proud look, A lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood, (Proverbs 6:16-17)
The shedding of innocent blood is what abortion does.
Furthermore, the Bible teaches that debt is a curse for disobedience (Deuteronomy 28:15-44). The total amount of federal debt greatly increased under the Obama Administration while Hillary Clinton was U.S. Secretary of State. Although she did not directly cause it, she has not laid out a plan in her political life that will truly reverse this.
And while she at some point in time may change on this, the fact is that Hillary Clinton has taken steps to encourage the production and use of genetically-modified “foods” (cf. Isaiah 55:2) (Paul K, Cummins R. Hillary Clinton is Just Plain Wrong on GMOs. Organic Consumers Association, August 28, 2014). Increased reliance on genetically-modified organisms (GMOs) by the United States puts the nation at major risk for nearly complete crop failures. The Bible warns that famines (Matthew 24:7) and food shortages (Revelation 6:5-6) are coming and Hillary Clinton has helped set the stage for this.
As Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton was a staunch promoter of what she refers to as LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender) rights. So much so, that she listed pushing for LGBT issues in a list she wrote of four of her priorities as Secretary of State (Clinton HR. Hard Choices. Simon & Schuster, 2014).
The Bible warns of those:
25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie…
26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. 27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, 30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; 32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them. (Romans 1:18-32)
Amongst other sins, the above scripture is clearly condemning lesbianism, homosexuality, and other forms of sexual immorality. Hillary Clinton has clearly approved many behaviors which the Bible says leads to death (see also The Bible Condemns Homosexuality).
These are factors that will lead to the death and destruction of the United States. In response to the freedom of religious conscience law passed in Indiana in the Spring of 2015, Hillary Clinton tweeted:
“Sad this new Indiana law can happen in America today. We shouldn’t discriminate against ppl bc of who they love #LGBT” (Hillary Clinton tweet as reported by Kelly A. What The 2016 Hopefuls Are Saying About Indiana’s ‘Religious Freedom’ Law. NPR, March 31, 2015).
Mrs. Clinton considers her understanding of the homosexual agenda more important than the rights of people to act according to their religious beliefs in commercial settings. This is wrong and prophetically disastrous.
Speaking of religion, her religious views hint that she is somewhat ‘ecumenical’ (e.g. Clinton, Hard Choices, p. 217). An ecumenical power is warned about in the Bible and is expected to rise up in the end times (Zechariah 2:6-8; Revelation 17; 18). I expect her to make inter-faith/ecumenical supporting statements (see also Beware: Protestants Going Towards Ecumenical Destruction!).
International Matters
She has made direct statements related to various international matters that have prophetic implications.
Hillary Clinton is considered to have been an early promoter of what has been called the pivot strategy towards Asia (Clinton, Hillary. America’s Pacific Century. Foreign Policy, November 2011; Clinton, Hard Choices, pp. 41-46). This ‘pivot’ has partially been responsible for a decreased USA military presence in Europe. Aspects of this will hurt the U.S.A. later as it will be taken over by a European power called the King of the North (Daniel 11:39).
In her book, Hard Choices, Hillary Clinton glowingly writes about how well the Obama Administration restored relations with Europe (Clinton, Hard Choices, p. 206). Yet, the Europeans are incensed about U.S.A. espionage to the point that various Europeans believe this has caused irreparable damage to relations with the U.S.A. (see also The Snowden Leaks are Leading to the Destruction of the USA). Hillary Clinton is believed to have approved many of the spying actions that the Europeans are incensed over (Clyne M. Dick Morris: Hillary Surely Knew About Govt Eavesdropping. Newsmax.com, April 6, 2015).
Hillary Clinton has encouraged the formation of international coalitions, including predominantly Islamic ones. The Bible tells of this type of coalition happening. One that plans to destroy places like the U.S.A. in Psalm 83:3-8 and another (led by the King of the South) which will have a failed attempt to attack Europe (Daniel 11:40-43) after Europe is able to take over the U.S.A. and some of its Anglo-Saxon descended allies.
Hillary Clinton seems to be the type of person who would support the ‘peace deal’ of Daniel 9:27 (see The ‘Peace Deal’ of Daniel 9:2), which precedes the start of the Great Tribulation (see also When Will the Great Tribulation Begin? and/or watch Can the Great Tribulation begin in 2015?).
Furthermore, the Bible tells of having the gates of enemies as a blessing (Genesis 24:60). Losing sea gates would be consistent with being an end time curse (e.g. Deuteronomy 28:58-63). The Obama Administration, while Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State, seemed to be the first in U.S. history to significantly support the idea of giving the “sea gate” of the Falkland Islands to Argentina, which is a position in dramatic opposition to the residents of the Falklands (Drury I. With friends like these: Hillary Clinton wades into the Falklands row… and backs the Argentineans. DailyMail, March 2, 2010; Berger J. Obama Administration Backs Argentina Over U.K. in Falklands Dispute. FoxNews.com, June 10, 2011). Prophetically, I believe the Falklands will one day end up with Argentina (see also Will the UK Lose Gibraltar and the Falkland Islands?).
Does any of this mean that Hillary Clinton MUST win and become President of the United States?
No.
Yet, by virtue of her timing and certain policies, if she does become President of the U.S.A., Hillary Clinton will likely implement policies that will move toward the fulfillment of many prophecies.
Lest some of you discount all this, recall that the Bible teaches:
20 Do not despise prophecies. 21 Test all things; hold fast what is good. (1 Thessalonians 5:20-22)
Related to end time prophetic events, notice what Jesus said:
36 Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man. (Luke 21:36)
Pray and do not despise prophecies.
Let me also say that Hillary Rodham Clinton IS NOT the final Antichrist.
Of course, none of the expected candidates for USA president will turn the nation back to God, thus none will truly fix the problems in the USA. It will take the return of Jesus Christ and the establishment of the Kingdom of God to do that.
