“God is the Judge; he brings down one and raises up
another.” (Psalm 75: 7) By Christine Darg, Jerusalem Channel

Donald J. Trump has won a clear victory and mandate from the American people, which includes
many campaign promises to stand with Israel and to
move the US Embassy to the capital Jerusalem!
Despite many media character assassinations to paint
Trump as a bigot and anti-Semite, Trump’s family is
assimilated with the Jewish people.
Trump’s Jewish daughter Ivanka, and her husband
Jared Kushner, visited the grave of the influential
Lubavitcher Rebbe prior to Election Day. Thousands of
Jews visit his grave site every year to pray for blessings.
Many among the Orthodox community already support
Trump.
In his victory speech, Vice President-elect Governor
Mike Pence said, “Thanks be to God for His amazing
Grace.”
During Election Day, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu called both Mrs. Clinton and Trump, and
today he posted on his Facebook page,
“I congratulate Donald Trump on being elected the 45th
President of the United States of America. President-
elect Trump is a true friend of the State of Israel. . . .I am
confident that President-elect Trump and I will continue
to strengthen the unique alliance between our two
countries and bring it to ever greater heights.”
The Jerusalem Post reported today that after
congratulating President-elect Trump, Bayit Yehudi
chairman Naftali Bennett, who is also Israel’s Education
Minister, stated that “the era of a Palestinian state is
over.”
“Trump’s victory is an opportunity for Israel to
immediately retract the notion of a Palestinian state in
the center of the country, which would hurt our security
and just cause,” Bennett said. “This is the position of the
President-elect, as written in his platform, and it should
be our policy, plain and simple.”
Likud MK Yehuda Glick, who miraculously survived an
assassination attempt because of his loyalty to the
Temple Mount, congratulated the Republican candidate
on his remarkable victory in Tuesday’s election. Glick
said in the Knesset today, “It appears that the American
people are tired of hypocrisy and political correctness
and prefer straight talk.”
Not one to shrink from controversy, Glick even
expressed a lofty hope that Trump would “ascend the
Temple Mount and lead from the source of light and
energy a dialogue of world reconciliation and peace.”
The Likud MK also invited Trump to “visit Israel and
Judea and Samaria to see for himself.”
Zionist Union co-leader Tzipi Livni
tweeted, “Congratulations @realDonaldTrump. I hope for
the US and the world that he actualize the promises of
his acceptance speech, not the campaign.”
Calling Trump’s stunning election a “leadership
tsunami,” Zionist Union chairman Isaac
Herzog described the Trump campaign as “a global
trend of disgust with the old, power elite and the desire
for swift and direct change.”
PA President Mahmood Abbas congratulated Trump,
urging him to pursue a peace deal and to seek a two-
state solution.
In his victory speech, Pence said, “The American people
have spoken and the American people have elected
their new champion.” Trump said he wants to heal
wounds of division and will work with cooperative
nations.
Intercessors, the church in America has been given a
reprieve by God for us to wake up, get back to the Bible
and do the ongoing works of the Lord!
Jan Willem van der Hoeven, Director of the International
Christian Zionist Centre, sent out an email
suggesting that Donald Trump be like a modern-day
“Jehu” from the Bible whom God will use to
destroy much of the corruption that has been the
hallmark of the Obama-Clinton administrations in
America and thus “drain the swamp.”
Van der Hoeven added, “Trump will also become a
great, great friend of Israel, a modern day Cyrus who
was God’s anointed one to help and back Israel in days
past even to build the temple unto the Lord in
Jerusalem. As God’s word in chapter 45 in Isaiah so
clearly indicates. . . .This then is truly amazing as
Donald Trump will be himself the 45th President sworn
in on his seventieth year, the seventh month of his year
and the seventh day when he will take the oath of office
on the 20th of January 2017!”
PRAYER ALERT from Jay Sekulow’s American Centre
for Law and Justice:
“Today begins President Obama’s 73 most dangerous
days.
“The election is over, but President Obama remains in
office. He reportedly still has a ‘huge agenda.’
“He is plotting to abandon Israel, take numerous
unconstitutional Executive actions, and undermine the
law.
“We will not back down from fighting the insidious
corruption.
“We have defeated his lawlessness before – including
unanimously at the Supreme Court – but now, in his
final days, he is preparing to ramp up his lawless
actions.”

We pray for the peace of Israel.
