Let me explain. I have been watching the build-up to this election for some time. Although I expected it, I cannot really believe what I have seen transpire. I thought better of the American people and have been proven wrong (again). I guess the bottom-line for many Americans is that they blame Bush and his party for all of our woes. Some have even stated that many actually despise and hate Bush and everything he stands for. I have been watching the liberal media folks revel in the aisles over the results of this election. I guess many are so far removed from reality that it makes no difference to them at this point as to what has just taken place. Even though race is an issue with some folks where I live (Southern Louisiana), this is not about race. It is about an ultra-liberal, radical, with a questionable background, who has polished his image to the point, that many folks won't see through it. Now, he has been elected President of the United States. This really concerns me and disappoints me in our voters.
Now, even though I am concerned, I am not dismayed. Why? Because, in my opinion, this brings the return of The Lord even closer. You see, in order for a one-world government to occur (which will take place almost immediately at the beginning of the Great Tribulation), the climate has to set for the masses to accept someone who is evil at the core, but puts up a great front. In fact, The Anti-Christ Himself (Beast of Revelation) will be so polished, that He will actually deceive the vast majority of this world. He will seem to have the answers for all of the world's problems. He will be the consummate politician. His charisma will far surpass all who have come before him and will draw people to himself like a magnet. He will have apparent answers for peace in the Mideast and the world and will sign a treaty with Israel to prove it. Yet, as most of us know, that peace will be short-lived. It will last about 3 1/2 years and then He will break his own treaty. He will set himself up as the god of this world and will demand that the world worship him.
Now, I think we should all remember this: The reign of the Anti-Christ and false prophet will be short-lived. (By the way, the beast represents the one-world government and the false prophet represents the one-world apostate religion). You see, The Lord will have his day!! Because, upon the Lord's return to set-up His earthly kingdom (Millennium), both the Anti-Christ and false prophet will be cast into the Lake of Fire and will remain there for all eternity. (See Rev 19:19-21, Rev 20:10).
In conclusion, I just want to say it again: I am concerned but not dismayed. God is in control and He will have his day. And, folks, I can guarantee and encourage you that no one or nothing will be able to stand in His way.
Even so - come Lord Jesus!
