I need to start by saying I’m not a snake lover. The other night I watched a program on PBS about the crisis in the Everglades where non-native pythons are taking over by killing native species including alligators! This is not a natural invasion it’s a result of Man. People release their “pet” snakes into the everglades after they get to big to handle and what becomes of them? They get bigger and make cute little baby snakes who also get a lot bigger and kill even more natural species. They also told the tragic story of a one year old being killed by her parents “pet” snake. You may think this would wake people up but it didn’t the program said there have been 10 small children killed in Florida in the past few years by their parents “pet” snakes. Like I said I’m not a snake lover. Now before we listen to song pay close attention to the words especially the first line:
He’s a coldhearted snake lookin into his eyes
Oh, oh he’s been telling lies

Because after the song I’m going to talk about Trump!

Not only I’m not a snake lover I’m also not a Trump lover. I guess because I’m not a part of the Trump base I was totally aware that Donald Trump is Our Savior from poisonous snakes. The other night I was watching Frontline on PBS. The program begun with Trump’s first ever reading of the poisonous snake poem. I never heard it before but now I have a much greater understanding of why preachers and people who go a church support Trump so much. I hoped I couldn’t find the video they used on Frontline, but when I looked up on the internet I found a lot different videos, I guess this is a staple of Trump rallies.

This is wrong on so many different levels! But I will start with the first level so everyone one will understand what this poem really is. The nice lady takes the snake home and gives the snake milk and honey. The church people will recognize that milk and honey means something. In the Bible the Promised Land is always described as “flowing with milk and honey”. The Ku Klux Klan claims that they are Christians, that’s why they burn crosses, their beliefs is that in the Bible the Promised Land, the land flowing with milk and honey is not the nation of Israel, or for the Jews rather the Promised Land, the land flowing with milk and honey, is the United States and they believe God attended this land for the white race. Many people in my church have accepted this Klan doctrine. They have posted on Face Book claiming that God wants the wall, then they will have scripture that is talking about Jews building a wall clueless to the fact they are passing on to the world this evil KKK doctrine: That when the Bible speaks of Jews, God really means the white race in America. Just because someone says God every now and then doesn’t make them a Christian and most of the time when Trump says God it’s usually followed by damn. This poem was more than likely wrote to be read at a KKK rally not a campaign rally for President of the United States!

The story about being bitten and killed by poisonous snakes has a very strong spiritual meaning to both Christians and Jews. Yes there’s a story about being bitten by poisonous snakes where people who were bitten died. It’s in the Old Testament when the Children of Israel were wandering in the wilderness Numbers 21:5-9

5 And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, neither is there any water; and our soul loatheth this light bread.

6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.

7 Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD, and against thee; pray unto the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.

8 And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.

Of coarse this is a obscure 4 verses in the Old Testament in the book of Numbers, most church people can’t even find the book of Numbers and have no idea what’s the book is even about. However nearly all church people know about Moses lifting up a serpent in the wilderness not because of these verses but because of what Jesus said in the most read chapter in the Bible. In John 3:14 just two verses before John 3:16 our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ said:

John 3:14

“And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:”

This is the question I have: Is today’s church lifting up Trump as Moses lifted up the serpent or is today’s church lifting up Trump as Jesus was lifted up on the cross? Could it be that God sent Donald Trump to deliver the United States from the poisonous snakes attacking our country? Wait think about this: On the day Donald Trump declared his candidacy for president he descended down a golden staircase from his mansion of gold in the sky. And somehow, maybe with a little help from Heaven, the stairs of his golden staircase moved all by themselves! Once he descended the golden staircase he made the speech that he was “sent” to deliver. The speech was all about saving the United States from all these rapist and murderers that were invading our country. It was just a few months later that he delivered his snake poem for the first time.

You may say Jeff you can’t tell me that people really believe that God sent Donald Trump and that he is as great as Jesus Christ! I wouldn’t believe it myself then I look at my Face Book feed. You must understand that other half of my Face Book friends are people that I know from church. To see what these “church people” post on Face Book is simply unbelievable.

I put this post on and a few days later the picture was removed It’s President Obama with supposed to be Jesus

I wasn’t going to show any of these Face Book posts I’ve been talking about but when I took a break from writing this post I came across this post from a good church person” and since this post encompassed all I’ve been talking about I decided to put it my blog. If you don’t have conservative “church friends”, you are not aware of the massiveness of this problem. Good Christian people who I’ve know all my life are posting things such as this on Face Book for the whole world to see. It makes me very upset but whenever I see these posts and all of the comments from other “church people” I try to remain clam and I think of what Jesus said when he was hanging on the cross. Luke 23:34

Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. 

I have around a dozen or so pastors and worship leaders as Face Book friends and when posts like this appear they are always silent, except for one pastor friend of mine that pastor’s a large church in the Tulsa metro, he actually share posts like the one above! All I can say about that: Shameful! But that’s the world we live in today instead of Jesus a lot of pastors in the United States are preaching Trump!

Let me make this one thing clear. None of these people spreading false teachings on social media have even one single verse of scripture either in the Old Testament or in the New Testament or in one single verse spoken by Jesus Christ that in ANY way supports even the slightest evidence that God sent such a man as Trump. There are chapters and yes entire books in the Bible that proofs beyond a shadow of doubt that it’s not God who sent us Trump!
