Election / prophetic perspective


Does the current U.S. election turmoil contain a prophetic message? I believe it does.

There can be no doubt that the intense battle we are seeing in the physical realm depicts a great battle going on in the spiritual realm. "We wrestle not against flesh and blood…, " the Bible tells us in Ephesians 6. It is the battle for the soul and destiny of a nation.

God has said to the American people, "I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and THY SEED may live" (Deuteronomy 30:19). Note the Lord said "thy seed," which is significant, because it is a clear reference to the abortion issue.

Regardless of who is finally named President, more American voters have already chosen death than have chosen life. More have voted for a party to personally represent them that (1) favors a woman's right to hire someone to kill her unborn baby, (2) favors a woman's right to hire someone to kill her half-born, full-term baby by plunging scissors into its skull and sucking out its brains (with the sanitized name of "partial birth abortion"), and (3) favors the militant Sodomite agenda to change our culture and to trash those who stand for biblical principles, leading our county to the fate of Sodom and Gomorrah.

Sadly, a major vote difference was made by those who call themselves Christians, many of whom chose death, especially minority voters. This is incomprehensible, but no doubt representative of the end-time Laodecian church, which was obsessed with material rather than spiritual things.

Missouri is a stark example of the people literally choosing death over life, when they actually elected a dead candidate and ousted the outstanding and outspoken Christian Senator John Ashcroft. On the surface, compassion for the widow may appear to be the motive, but spiritually it is symbolic of spiritual condition.

Further evidence of the spiritual battle is the sharp division in our population. Jesus said, "If a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand" (Mark 3:25).

Many serious Bible students for many serious reasons believe that the end of the age is upon us and that devastating judgment on America, a "divided house," and the soon return of the Lord are imminent. This election is another sign.

I will not speculate on possible scenarios, and they are many, as the forces of darkness and chicanery may appeal to courts and evil judges to manipulate things in their favor. But in the end, it may not matter. God's plan is on schedule and will not tarry.

This was not an ordinary election. It strongly reinforces the message many have believed for a long time.

Isn't it interesting that this comes at the time of Israel's greatest crisis just following her Jubilee year, exactly seven years from the Oslo Accord (called the "covenant with death," Isaiah 28:15,18), at the end of 6,000 years from Adam and beginning of the Seventh Millennium, and 2,000 years from Christ's birth?

These are the times about which the prophets wrote.
