So what will America look like on November 7? Will she return to the nation that has been a beacon of light and freedom to the world for over two centuries? Or will she continue down the path to Marxism and socialism that has been the undoing of many European nations?
Some prophetic doomsayers are claiming that America will be finished if she chooses to reelect Barack Obama as her president on November 6. Others claim that an Obama reelection poses no serious threat to the nation and that she'll survive no matter who's in charge. Who's right and who's wrong?
The prophetic doomsayers are certainly right because Barack Obama is an avowed Marxist who intends to fundamentally transform the United States from a free-market capitalist nation to a government-controlled centralized nation that sets wages and benefits and decides who wins and who loses. But beyond that, an Obama reelection insures that China will become the world's leading economy, probably by 2016 while America will degenerate into a bankrupt, debt-ridden nation of over-taxed, over-credentialed low wage workers who will be forced to work--if they're fortunate to even have jobs--until the day they die.
If you don't think that can happen in a nation that chooses four more years of someone who will be judged as perhaps the worst president in the republic's history, then you've probably shoved your head into a place where the sun doesn't shine and it doesn't smell very nice. America is on the brink of her most important election in her history and this election isn't about jobs and prosperity and who pays for some 31-year-old university student's contraceptives--it's about freedom.
And if we study ancient history, we can learn a lesson from the nation of Israel. When that nation feared God and honored his laws and commandments, she enjoyed unbridled freedom and prosperity. But when she turned away from God to worship pagan gods and engage in witchcraft and idolatry, she lost her freedom and prosperity. Listen to the words that the Lord spoke through the ancient prophet Haggai: "Give careful thought to your ways. You have planted much, but have harvested little. You eat, but never have enough. You drink, but never have your fill. You put on clothes, but are not warm. You earn wages, only to put them in a purse with holes in it." (Haggai 1:5-6)
The Lord explained to the prophet that the famines, droughts and poverty that were plaguing Israel during that time (Sixth Century B.C.) were a direct result of Israel's corporate apathy and indifference toward him. Israel forgot God and subsequently no longer trusted in Him nor gave thanks to Him for His blessings: "You expected much, but see, it turned out to be little. What you brought home, I blew away. Why? Because of my house, which remains a ruin, while each of you is busy with his own house. Therefore, because of you the heavens have withheld their dew and the earth its crops. I called for a drought on the fields and the mountains, on the grain, the new wine, the oil and whatever the ground produces, on men and cattle, and on the labor of your hands." (Haggai 1:9-11)
If America chooses to become a God-fearing nation once again and repents of her many sins of murder, (abortion) sexual perversion, idolatry, nihilism and debauchery, then she will begin to see deliverance on November 6. Certainly, Mitt Romney will be no messiah if he's elected to the presidency. But Barack Obama has become judgment upon a nation that has turned its back on God and thumbed its corporate nose at his laws for over 40 years. He is a wicked leader given to America by God as the punishment for her many sins.
On November 6, we'll find out whether God has decided to give America another chance. Or, we'll find out whether he has washed his hands of the United States and has cast her aside forever.
