I have a question that's nagging me about the upcoming vote and I haven't heard anybody address this specific issue.
I've been wrestling with the following.
So, normally I would vote for Trump/Pence.
However, as you know we in the watchman community have also been discussing the Peace Plan of the Century, the Abrahamic Accords, the division of Israel (which is a thing God hates), and so forth.
These are the direct acts, inventions, and involvements of the Trump and Pence administration. My understanding is (correct me if I'm wrong) that these are wicked policies that God despises - the division of his land, and also the Abrahamic Accords which are basically a violation of the Abrahamic Covenant, and also an ultimate push towards the Babylonian one world religion of Christianity, Islam, and Judaism.
Now, I know that the liberals want to annihilate Israel, not to mention everything else they want. Obviously I'm not going to vote for them. Obviously, Trump/Pence support Israel which is good. But what I've wrestled with lately is, aren't these Israel-Divison and Abraham Accords issues just as wicked on the Trump/Pence side? Aren't they also abominable to the Lord?
I know that the Trump Pence side is obviously the "less evil" side on balance in terms of most issues. And if I was weighing "normal" policy matters, I would vote T/P in a heartbeat. But the Bible also says to have nothing to do with the works of darkness and not to partner with them (Ephesians 5:11). And the division of Israel and the Abrahamic Accords seems more than just normal things - they seem like works of darkness which fly in the face of God's very important commands and lead directly to the anti-Christ.
Again, normally I would vote for Trump/Pence. But given this issue, and because dividing God's land is terrible, I am truly torn and am lacking in wisdom for this decision. I've been wrestling with it for weeks and trying to apply the wisdom I hear from others, but nobody seems to address this specific facet of it all.
I would greatly appreciate some insight. Right now I am between voting for T/P or simply writing in "Jesus Christ." I truly want to understand what is the Lord's narrow path in this decision and all I want to do is obey Christ and be unashamed before him. Any input is welcome.

I don't pretend to have the answers, and I know that each person has to pray for wisdom and discernment from the Holy Spirit, but 
We "are voting for the people Trump or Biden will surround themselves with, their stance on our Constitution vs socialism, and their view of the necessity of the church, and their stance on the unborn. If we can keep the churches open and not silence Christians for a bit longer, that's what I choose."
