US Congress Certifies Biden Election Victory

January 7, 2021

WASHINGTON – The U.S. Congress certified Democrat Joe Biden’s win in the November presidential election, completing its constitutional duty early Thursday after being forced to evacuate the Capitol when a mob of supporters of outgoing President Donald Trump swarmed the building.

Vice President Mike Pence, who presided over the interrupted session, announced the official Electoral College tally of 306 for Biden and Trump’s 232. …

As soon as Congress certified Biden’s win, Trump pledged an orderly transition of power on January 20, “even though I totally disagree with the outcome of the election.” …

The statement was released by Trump’s social media director, Dan Scavino.  …

U.S. Capitol Police and federal, state and local law enforcement cleared the Trump supporters from the Capitol grounds, securing the chambers for Senate and House members to return around 9 p.m. Local authorities also imposed a 6pm to 6am curfew to clear Washington DC city streets. …

Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said the “failed insurrection” underscored lawmakers’ duty to finish the vote certification. …

Republican senators who had planned to object to the congressional certification said they would no longer do so. They cited the violent mob action during which Metropolitan Police Chief Robert Contee said four people died, including one woman authorities shot dead and three people who died in “medical emergencies.” …

Trump tweeted: “Mike Pence didn’t have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution, giving States a chance to certify a corrected set of facts, not the fraudulent or inaccurate ones which they were asked to previously certify. USA demands the truth!” https://www.voanews.com/usa/us-politics/us-congress-certifies-biden-election-victory

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump for the first time acknowledged his defeat in the Nov. 3 election and announced there would be an “orderly transition on January 20th” after Congress concluded the electoral vote count early Thursday certifying President-elect Joe Biden’s victory. …

Trump added, “While this represents the end of the greatest first term in presidential history, it’s only the beginning of our fight to Make America Great Again!”

The statement was the first time Trump formally acknowledged his loss after spending the last two months refusing to concede …

Trump had encouraged his supporters to march on the Capitol to protest lawmakers’ actions, and later appeared to excuse the violent occupation by the mob, which forced its way inside and clashed with police.

“These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long,” Trump wrote in a message that was later deleted by Twitter. He added, “Go home with love & in peace. Remember this day forever!”  …

“I know your pain. I know your hurt. But you have to go home now,” he said in a video posted more than 90 minutes after lawmakers were evacuated from the House and Senate chambers. “We can’t play into the hands of these people. We have to have peace. So go home. We love you. You’re very special.” https://apnews.com/article/joe-biden-donald-trump-michael-pence-electoral-college-elections-f03215c31a400f815a8f62960a430063

PCG, whose top leader has been insisting that Donald Trump would remain in office (see CGFF and PCG have distorted logic as to why they assert Donald Trump will remain President of the United States and PCG: Will This Texas Lawsuit Overturn the Presidential Election? and PCG on Dominion software flaws and why it claims Donald Trump will prevail), posted the following today:

Can You Trust the Election Results?

January 7, 2021

What is the most important aspect of an election? Speed, accuracy and fairness are all possibilities, but arguably the most important is transparency. Transparency is how we know that elections are conducted fairly and legally. It is how people accept the election’s results. …

Voting machine security is abysmal. The threat of hackers tampering with election results is very real and present. Even a single person attacking critical machines could influence or even flip an election. But there is an even more pressing problem with electronic voting that has surfaced in the 2020 presidential vote: election fraud committed by the machine’s manufacturers.

U.S. President Donald Trump and lawyer Sidney Powell, among others, have accused Dominion Voting Systems of stealing the presidential election by programming their voting machines to alter the results. Sidney Powell says she has strong statistical evidence that Dominion machines flipped a percentage of votes for Donald Trump to Joe Biden.

D0ominion {sic}, of course, denies these allegations. …

Add to all this the possibility that election officials themselves installed vote-changing software on their voting machines. It could be accomplished in seconds by individuals with official-looking flash drives.

This is the fundamental flaw with electronic voting. Transparency has been replaced with trust. Those who trust the election results must trust manufacturers like Dominion, hardware suppliers like China, and every single person who had physical or Internet access to the voting machines and servers. A betrayal of that trust at any level compromises the entire election.

Trumpet editor in chief Gerald Flurry emphasized the threat of computer hacking 25 years ago. He pointed to the prophecy in Ezekiel 7:14, which says, “They have blown the trumpet, even to make all ready; but none goeth to the battle: for my wrath is upon all the multitude thereof.” We have written often about how this verse tells us that the United States will suffer a military attack but will be unable to respond. As Mr. Flurry noted all those years ago, this could be due to a cyberattack on the United States’ military computer systems. He quoted analyst Joseph de Courcy, who wrote, “Computer dependence is the Western world’s Achilles’ heel, and within a few years this weakness could be tested to the full.” …

And as we have seen since November 3, despite all the evidence of fraud, hardly anyone has gone to battle in defense of a fair and transparent election. https://www.thetrumpet.com/23403-can-you-trust-the-election-results

Do I believe that there were voter irregularities, violations of election procedures, etc. related to the November 2020 election?

Yes.

The Bible, via the Apostle Paul, prophesied:

13 But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. (2 Timothy 3:13)

That being said, whether or not there was enough problems to have changed the election results does not look like something we will be able to publicly see.

The US Congress has officially declared that Joe Biden is to be the next president.

Now notice the next verse Paul was inspired to write:

14 But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them, (2 Timothy 3:14)

Yes, we who are Christian, irrespective of any political leanings or preferences we may have, are to continue.

The Apostle John was inspired to write:

2 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. 3 For I rejoiced greatly when brethren came and testified of the truth that is in you, just as you walk in the truth. 4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth. (3 John 2-4)

As Christians we must move forward.

Those who are truly part of the Philadelphia remnant will go forward to fulfill Jesus’ commissions in Matthew 24:14 and 28:19-20. They will also support the preparation for the short work of Romans 9:25-28 as well as work to reach the Jews and the full number of Gentiles as recorded in Romans 11:23-25.

As far as political leaders go, all Christians should pray as the Apostle Paul was inspired to write:

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 (1 Timothy 2:1-3).

Notice that we are to pray for worldly leaders and those that have authority over us so that we may lead a quiet and peaceful life. Nothing like this is said for voting that many falsely claim is their “Christian” duty–prayer for leaders is.

We are also to pray for our spiritual leaders. Notice what Jesus taught:

2 The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few; therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest (Luke 10:2).

Notice what Paul taught:

25 Brethren, pray for us (1 Thessalonians 5:25).

1 Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run swiftly and be glorified, just as it is with you, 2 and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men; for not all have faith (2 Thessalonians 3:1-2).

We also are to pray:

14 The will of the Lord be done (Acts 21:14).

Similarly,  Jesus taught:

7 And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words. 8 Therefore do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him. 9 In this manner, therefore, pray:

Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. 10 Your kingdom come. Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven (Matthew 6:7-10).

And that, I believe, should be the type of prayer that Christians have about elections and politicians.  Followers of the true God are also told to:

5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
6 In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.

7 Do not be wise in your own eyes;
Fear the LORD and depart from evil (Proverbs 3:5-7).

The world is changing.

As far as the USA itself goes, the handwriting is on the wall for its coming end.

Yesterday, Baptist Franklin Graham (son of the late Billy Graham) said:

“We are in trouble,” he said. “I believe God’s judgment is coming, for the sins of our nation are great and they are a stench in the nostrils of our Creator.” 01/06/21 https://www.wnd.com/2021/01/franklin-graham-u-s-sins-stench-nostrils-creator/

Yes, while I often disagree agree with Protestants, it is true that God’s judgment is coming to the USA (cf. Romans 1:18-32; Isaiah 10:4-11).

It is unlikely that the USA will survive the next two full presidential terms (see Does God Have a 6,000 Year Plan? What Year Does the 6,000 Years End?).

Though it will survive the new one that begins January 20, 2021 (watch also The Great Tribulation or the Great Reset?).

Yet, the USA will end, the Great Tribulation will impact the world, and soon the Kingdom of God will come.

The end will NOT come in the first term of a Biden-Harris Administration.

Yes, there will be problems, but as Jesus said:

33 In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world. (John 16:33)

And Jesus will return. That is good news!
