United States’ President Donald Trump spoke at the Republican National Convention last night, where he again accepted the nomination to again be a candidate to be US President:
Trump Accepts GOP Nomination, Attacks Biden on China, Economy
August 28, 2020
WHITE HOUSE – During his White House address Thursday accepting his party’s nomination for a second term, President Donald Trump said the November election “will decide whether we will defend the American way of life or whether we will allow a radical movement to completely dismantle and destroy it.”
Trump, who faces a strong challenge from former Vice President Joe Biden, told a large crowd on the White House South Lawn “this is the most important election in the history of our country.” …
In his speech, Trump said Biden “has spent his entire career on the wrong side of history.”
The president also sought to draw a philosophical and moral contrast between the two parties.
“In the left’s backward view, they do not see America as the most free, just and exceptional nation on Earth. Instead, they see a wicked nation that must be punished for its sin.”
Trump declared that “Joe Biden is weak. He takes his marching orders from liberal hypocrites.”
Biden, at a virtual campaign event earlier Thursday, criticized the president as “totally irresponsible” for holding a purely political event on the White House lawn, “virtually throwing every major rule in the dust bin.” …
Trump, in his acceptance speech did not mention the wounding of Blake, who is paralyzed from the waist down, his father said. He re-emphasized his law-and-order approach, condemning agitators, looters and anarchists in several Democrat-run cities.
Trump and Pence, along with numerous convention speakers, portrayed their administration as a staunch supporter of law enforcement, standing against protests, some of which have turned violent … https://www.voanews.com/2020-usa-votes/trump-accepts-gop-nomination-attacks-biden-china-economy
Protesters were out in force in Washington, D.C. last night:
Chaos Erupts In DC After GOP Convention; Rand Paul And Wife Chased Down Street By BLM Protesters
August 28, 2020
Protesters in Washington DC clashed with police Thursday night and into Friday morning, as the last night of the Republican National Convention turned into a chaotic scene down the street from the White House. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/chaos-erupts-after-gop-convention-dc-rand-paul-and-wife-chased-down-street-blm-protesters

WASHINGTON (AP) — A crowd of protesters surrounded U.S. Sen. Rand Paul as he was leaving the White House following the Republican National Convention early Friday, shouting for the legislator from Kentucky to acknowledge the shooting of Breonna Taylor.
Video posted on social media showed dozens of people confronting Paul and his wife, who were flanked by Metro Police, in a Washington street after midnight.
Protesters could be heard shouting “No Justice, No Peace” and “Say Her Name” before one appeared to briefly clash with an officer, pushing him and his bike backward, sending the officer into Paul’s shoulder. https://apnews.com/115c91d3b85f5c5ba9ed995482af6dc3
When I see the signs and chants of “No Justice, No Peace,” I recoil as that sounds like an unpeaceful threat. The following scriptures come to mind:
17 Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. 18 If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. 19 Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. 20 Therefore
“If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
If he is thirsty, give him a drink;
For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head.”21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. (Romans 12:17-21)
1 Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, 2 for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. (1 Timothy 2:1-4)
We are to do good as well as pray that we may lead a quiet and peaceful life, while understanding that we are not to take revenge.
Rioters, violent agitators, and looters do not accept these scriptures. Notice also the following scriptures:
14 “Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.”
15 “Their feet are swift to shed blood;
16 Destruction and misery are in their ways;
17 And the way of peace they have not known.”
18 “There is no fear of God before their eyes.” (Romans 3:14-18)
Many of the protesters want US President Trump out of office. Yet, their actions may have the opposite effect. In many ways, they are helping increase the division in the US.
Violence, appearance of violence, and threats of violence by protesters seems to have improved Donald Trump’s standing in the presidential polls. We will see how that holds up.
Jesus warned about division:
25 Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand. (Matthew 12:25)
We are seeing more divide in the USA and parts of it certainly appear to be politically intentional.
Neither Joe Biden or Donald Trump are real Christians. Neither called for national repentance. Neither seeks first the Kingdom of God (cf. Matthew 6:33).
While they are different, neither wants to lead the US towards the God of the Bible.
Speaking of those candidates and the Bible, the Continuing Church of God (CCOG) put together the following video on our Bible News Prophecy YouTube channel:
The USA presidential campaign is in full swing. Though Democratic party candidate Joe Biden and Republican party candidate Donald Trump have differing economic and climate policies as well as different views on abortion and racial matters, there are many similarities both share. Do they have policies that they share that are leading to the destruction of the USA? What do Bible prophecies reveal about sexual immorality, debt, and hypocrisy? What are some of the national sins of the USA? Does the Bible endorse voting? What did Jesus teach related to what to seek and pray for? What does the New Testament teach that Christians are to do related to leaders? Is the lesser of two evils still evil? Dr. Thiel goes over these matters, including going over eleven similarities the two major party candidates share and some of what the Bible teaches about evil.
Here is a link to our sermonette video: Biden, Trump, and the Bible.
The USA needs to repent. But its top political leaders do not seem to understand that.
Expect more protests. Expect more violence.
We also made the following video:
Riots and the Red Horse of the Apocalypse
We are seeing riots and protests across the USA, protests and skirmishes in Hong Kong, and another potential intifada with the Palestinians over Israel’s annexation plans. Could any of this be related to the beginning of sorrows Jesus mentioned in Matthew 24? What about rider of the red horse of war of the apocalypse? Is ethic group prophesied to be against ethnic group according to the Orthodox Jewish Bible? Did the red horse begin the ride in the 20th century? What is the relationship of the seals of Revelation 6 and the start of the Great Tribulation? Will a warring ‘Beast’ leader arise in Europe? Might he quell civil unrest? Might he militarily destroy the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada? What about the Islamic nations of the Middle East and North Africa? Will Jesus have the King of the North Beast defeated? After Jesus returns will this be the time when people will not learn war? What about the other seals in the Book of Revelation? Dr. Thiel address these and more in this video.
Here is a link to our video: Riots and the Red Horse of the Apocalypse.
Violent protests are not the answer.
The Kingdom of God is the Solution.
Watch, repent, and pray (cf. Luke 21:36; 1 Timothy 2:1-3). Do good (cf. Romans 12:17-21).
