This Presidential Election


This presidential election like most elections is a reflection of the confusion
That represents the fallen state of America and mankind.
What do we know?
We know that the future of America
And that of every nation rests in the hands of God.
We can easily name all the nations
That previously were prominent in the world,
That are now of no consequence or gone entirely.
The whole world of Noah's day is gone.

The Lord Himself instructed us to pray:
Your Kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as in Heaven.”
The Kingdom of God is where Christ Jesus rules and reigns.
The Kingdom of God is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
We know from the Book of Revelation that this finally occurs
When Christ Jesus returns.
By His own words, we know that Christ Jesus is returning soon.

Imagine for a moment what will be missing when Christ Jesus returns.
Most of what we see around us will be missing.
Most of the people we see around us will be missing.
There will be no more elections!

Let sink into your heart the shallowness of the current political debate
In comparison to the righteousness of God.
Christ Jesus said: Seek first and above all else the Kingdom of God
And His righteousness,
Then everything you have need of will be given to you by the Father.
(Matthew 6:33)
The clear implication is that if one does not seek first the Kingdom of God
And His righteousness, you will not be given everything you need.

We have a debate that does not include the Sovereign of the Universe.
We have a culture that defies the written Word of God.
We have puny men pretending to be consequential,
When before God they are helpless and hopeless without Christ Jesus.

Have we forgotten why Christ Jesus came?
He came to save those who would receive Him as their Savior,
To a world that stands condemned before the Living God.
Today, the world stands condemned!
The life of every living person lies in the hands of the Creator God.

The future of America and every nation lies in the hands of the Living God.
Today, it is of the Lord's mercy we have not been consumed;
God is holy, an all consuming fire.

Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain?
The kings of the earth take their stand
And the rulers gather together against the Lord
And against His Anointed One (Christ Jesus).

'Let us break their chains,' they say, 'and throw off their fetters.'
The One enthroned in Heaven laughs;
Then he rebukes them in His anger
And terrifies them in His wrath, saying,
I have installed my King on Zion, my holy hill.

I will proclaim the decree of the Lord:

He said to Me, 'You are my Son; today I have become Your Father.

Ask of Me, and I will make the nations your inheritance,
The ends of the earth Your possession.
You will rule them with an iron scepter;
You will dash them to pieces like pottery,'

Therefore, you kings be wise; be warned, you rulers of the earth.
Serve the Lord with fear and rejoice with trembling.
Kiss the Son, lest He be angry and you be destroyed in your way,
For His wrath can flare up in a moment.
Blessed are all who take refuge in Him. (Psalm 2)

Today, America and the nations are raging against God.
The kings and rulers of the earth have taken their stand against the Lord
And against His Christ, Jesus, His Anointed One.
They say to themselves let us throw off the chains,
The requirements of God, His Word and His Christ, Jesus.

Today, the Lord laughs at them in their foolishness.
He rebukes them in His anger with natural and unnatural disasters;
Mighty judgments from His throne;
He terrifies them in His wrath saying,
Christ Jesus, My King, has been installed on Zion, My holy hill.

Therefore, let the kings and rulers of the earth be warned;
You have but one choice that will save you.
Serve the Lord with fear and rejoice with trembling.
Kiss the Son (Christ Jesus); respect the Son, or He will be angry with you
And you will be destroyed in your way;
Your way that seems right to men
But the end thereof is death and destruction.
The wrath of God can flare up in a moment; look and see.
Blessed, alone, are those who take refuge in You, the Christ of God;
Those whose faith, hope and trust are in You. Hallelujah!
