This section can be summed up in three words: Watch your tongue! We are more likely to sin with our mouth than any other way. A man who guards his mouth, guards his whole person. James calls the tongue, “a fire”; something that defiles the whole body; a restless evil, full of deadly poison. With our tongue we confess Christ as our Lord and Savior and with our tongue we curse Him. Lest we be double-minded, our tongue should be a consistent testimony of our redeemed nature. Verse 5 speaks of boasting. If we could compare the number of times the bible speaks of the boasting of The Antichrist with the number of times Donald Trump boasts in any given day, who wins?

James says they will war with each other because they war within themselves. They covet what they do not have because they are envious; leading to conflict that starts with quarrels and ending with violence and even murder. We live in a world of entitlement. “What’s mine is mine and what’s yours is mine.” We lust for the things of the world, whether they be material possessions or status. If the Jones’ have it, we want it. In fact, we do not just want it, we want them not to have it. We want their possessions. This lust is nothing more than envy that stems from our self-pride.

Donald Trump has a history of this very thing; having been the target of numerous lawsuits involving people who have not been paid for work done. As The Antichrist, Trump, as well as the aristocratic elites in the last days, will refuse to pay the workers whom have worked a full day — another example of an opposite quality of Jesus Christ. This evil will testify against Trump and others, as the outcry of cheated workers reach the Lord of the Sabaoth. In contradistinction, Jesus, as the land owner, paid a full day’s wage to those workers who only worked a part day (Matt. 20:1-16). The Lord of the Sabaoth is He that established six days to work and one day to rest. The Sabaoth rest harkens back to God’s 7th creation day of rest and forward to that Millennial Day of rest — the 1000-year reign of Christ that will begin after Christ returns to set up His kingdom on
