    With Donald TrumpSome people’s victory at the ballot box Christian extremists celebrate They see it as a rare opportunity to assume a role in government institutions and manipulate them — if not completely destroy them — after Trump takes office.

    Some prominent Christian nationalist figures make no secret of their excitement about the potential to impose their will on the nation. In October, Trump told an ally: Christian group in Georgia “The stronger you are, the better your country will be.” And he said Evangelical Christian publishers In February, he said that if elected they would experience “a level of power you’ve never wielded before.” Christianity will legitimize all forms of injustice, even slavery.

Vance attended one of their events in September.

    Wallnau during an election night live broadcast requested Trump’s victory provides Christians with an opportunity to tear down the “gates of Hell” in government:

    ‘We have one administration and four years to do this,’ Wallnau said. “The church is currently going through a restructuring process,” Wallnau added. ‘Revival is for us; Reformation is for institutions. We must reinvigorate believers as strong and cohesive as an ekklesia (a Greek term meaning ‘community’) to go where the gates of hell lie, in the Justice Department, in the government, in the IRS. I know this is a daunting task. It may sound crazy, but that’s exactly what believers should do. They had to go up against the giants. We must see these castles fall. ‘God is giving us a chance to see this happen.’

    Far-right Christian leader Sheets, who attended Trump’s conference for faith leaders at the White House, openly called for an end to the separation of church and state. According to NBC News:

    Sheets told his followers that Trump’s victory would help usher in what he calls the ‘Third Great Awakening,’ which he and other believers say will be a global revival of fervent Christian faith around the world. ‘Reformation will take some time, but we will get there,’ Sheets said. ‘And Trump is a necessary part of that reform.’
