Days Like No Other About to Overtake America, Along with the World

Reader comment on item: Obama Wins, Muslims Divided
in response to reader comment: What is happening to our nation?

Submitted by M. Tovey (United States), Nov 19, 2008 at 16:31

In the post traumatic syndrome so many conservatives find themselves in after the Democratic Party's takeover of the American government, we face an uncertainty of the future many thought was secure as long as the country held on to the principles and values that were thought to be entrenched in the United States Declaration of Independence and Constitution. But one needs to read further the documentation found in personal correspondences of the founding agents of this country, to read that in order for this country to continue in the course the founding agents set, that subsequent office holders needed to be placed in office to insure that effect, meaning that they are in concert with such things.

For several decades, even back to the nineteenth century, we find here and there, and with increasing tendencies, that offices were being filled with individuals of a different sort, defining the liberties they were supposed to protect to be based on relativistic values instead of morally based absolute values. Thus, when the absolute values were challenged by the relativistic ones, individual freedoms without responsibility were considered more prized than liberties needing protection on a more responsible level.

This was cemented into the law of the land when the U.S. Supreme Court banished Biblical based values from the public forum. It has been downhill from there. It has not been stopped, and indeed, now, it appears it cannot ever be stopped without the Eternal Sovereign completing His promises in the Holy Bible regarding world events and how the United States has been involved.

While following the 2 Chronicles admonition to turn to the LORD is as true today as it was when the LORD first had it penned to the Israeli nation, we must, in the Biblical context, realize that there is no edict for an endless reign of mortal Christianity to survive the times of the Gentiles, that the excellence of Israel is to surpass that time and enter into eternity with Jesus Christ reigning from Jerusalem as Israel's monarch. The Revelation tells us of that transition, as well as other corroborating scriptures. We find, in the change that the Democrats believe in, that the process prophesied for just that very situation is happening as we watch, and we must be prepared as Jesus Christ has said.

As the new government is formed, several Biblical references have come into their own, especially as they relate to the land and people of Israel. We have moved into a series of Biblical situations that are coming together in a way that could not be anticipated if a conservative mindset tried to hold on to the declining value system overtaking America. So, while there is a sense of confusion from a conservative's perspective about what is happening, it all makes sense when viewed from a true Biblical standpoint, which by the way, is the only standpoint a true disciple of Jesus Christ needs to take. After all, when it says, ‘thus saith the LORD,' we need to be paying attention, or get caught off guard like those who choose not to believe. Either way, He is true to His WORD and it is happening, whether anyone is ready for it or not. Is everyone ready?
