DALLAS (WBAP/KLIF News) — First Baptist Dallas pastor Robert Jeffress says God has given the President authority to take out North Korea.
In a statement, Jeffress says it’s clear in the Bible that “God has endowed rulers full power to use whatever means necessary, including war, to stop evil.”
When asked about a Bible verse that mentions not repaying evil for evil, he says that it only applies to Christians, not government.
Jeffress also tweeted yesterday afternoon that he’s thankful for a President who is serious about protecting our country.
When @POTUS draws a red line, he will not erase, move, or back away from it. Thank God for pres. who is serious ab. protecting our country.

He says President Trump isn’t afraid to back away from the imaginary red line drawn in the sand — something he says President Obama did for eight years.
