After reading JD Vance’s first speech following his appointment as VP at the Republican National Convention, I was sufficiently convinced Vance and Trump will be elected VP and President at the November election to write this post. It will be interesting to see if I am right. How things have changed so dramatically in just 24 hours. Trump is a different person following the assassination attempt on his life. He acknowledges that he is still alive only because God wants to use him to unite the nation.

Donald Trump’s vice presidential pick JD Vance took to the stage at the Republican National Convention to deliver his first address since being announced on the ticket, hailing the former president’s “fight” and call for unity.

“Tonight is a night of hope,” Mr Vance said. “A celebration of what America once was and with God’s grace, what it will soon be again.

“And it is a reminder of the sacred duty we have to preserve the American experiment, to choose a new path for our children and grandchildren.

“But as we meet tonight we cannot forget that this evening could have been so much different. Instead of a celebration, this could have been a day of heartache and mourning.

“And what did he call us to do for our country? To fight. To fight for America. Even in his most perilous moment, we were on his mind. His instinct was for us, for our country, to call us to something higher, for something greater, to once again be citizens to ask what our country needs from us.

“Now consider what they said – they said he was a tyrant. They said he must be stopped at all costs. But how did he respond? He called for national unity, for national calm literally right after an assassin nearly took his life.

“And then President Trump flew to Milwaukee and got back to work.

“Now that’s the man I’ve gotten to know personally over the last few years. He is tough – and he is – but he cares about people. He can stand defiant against an assassin one moment and call for national healing the next. He is a beloved father and grandfather, and of course, a once-in-a-generation business leader.”

Mr Vance is invoking his small-town roots as he accepts his party’s nomination for vice president.

“I grew up in Middletown, Ohio, a small town where people spoke their minds, built with their hands, and loved their God, their family, their community, and their country with their whole hearts,” he said, arguing that President Joe Biden has supported policies that damaged his community.

Mr Vance said it was the kind of place that had been “cast aside and forgotten by America’s ruling class in Washington”.

“When I was in the fourth grade, a career politician by the name of Joe Biden supported NAFTA, a bad trade deal that sent countless good jobs to Mexico.

“When I was a sophomore in high school, that same career politician named Joe Biden, gave China a sweetheart trade deal that destroyed even more good American middle-class manufacturing jobs.

“When I was a senior in high school that same Joe Biden supported the disastrous invasion of Iraq and each step of the way and at small towns like mine in Ohio or next door in Pennsylvania or Michigan, in states all across our country, jobs were sent overseas and our children were sent to war.”

Mr. Vance said the GOP of the next four years would be “united in our love for this country and committed to free speech and the open exchange of ideas”.

“And so tonight, Mr Chairman, I stand here humbled and I’m overwhelmed with gratitude to say I officially accept your nomination to be vice president of the United States of America!”

Mr Vance made a pitch to the “American heartland”.

“For these places to thrive, my friends, we need a leader who fights for the people who built this country,” he said.

“We need a leader who’s not in the pocket of big business, but answers to the working man, union and non-union alike.

“A leader who won’t sell out to multinational corporations but will stand up for American companies and American industry.

“A leader who rejects Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’ green new scam and fights to bring back our great American factories.

“We need President Donald J Trump.”

Will God give America one last chance to repent and return to Him? Even if God does, I do not think it will change anything. Millennials and Gen Z are lost generations due to schools and universities teaching evolution, not creation. They do not believe God exists therefore the Bible is a book of myths and legends. Biblical prophecy confirms this view. The Antichrist arises from the Middle East to dominate the world. Russia and China are featured as end-time empires, but not America.
