I realized something the day after the election and it is something that was reinforced to me the day after my Mom passed away. I had invested so much time day in and day out reading articles, looking at websites that were related to politics. After the election there was this huge hole, a hole that I did not want to keep filled with politics anymore. Politics was a welcomed distraction from the daily worry about Mom and what was going on with her. Well then Obama won and I did not want read or listen to the sold out media gloat and say how wonderful it was.
I have realized that this world has changed for me. The country that I grew up in is gone. The family I grew up in is far from the same, however the most important things remain the same. God is on the throne. He is in control. I've lost my grandparents and my Mom in less than 3 years but I have a beautiful wife and 2 adorable children. Life goes on. The sun came up the day after "The Annointed One" won re-election. It came up the day after my Mom passed away. We know how the story ends and we know who wins.
I had a thought about the anti christ. While I do not believe that Obama is the anti christ I wonder if he is not one of the people that Satan might have had ready to be the real deal. I think we have talked about this before, that Satan does not know when Jesus will return, so at all times he must have someone ready to become the anti christ when Christs returns. Obama has blinded the media and fooled this country and much of the world to what he is up to. He isn't just a liberal. If he was that would be bad enough. Instead he wants to neuter this country. I stop short of saying he wants to destroy it but he does not want us to be the "city on the hill" that we have been since we won our independence.
I think it is easy to see, after watching what has happened in the last 4 years, just how the real anti christ will rise to power. So many people willing to believe whatever someone says and ignore what he is actually doing. All the while those of us who have the protection of the Holy Spirit can see clearly what is really going on. I think this is one of the reasons I struggle so much to understand how "stupid" people can be. The lost are searching for someone to fill the Christ shaped hole that is there in their heart. So much so that they are willing to check common sense and everything else at the door when they think they have found someone to plug that hole. Obama is the man of the moment and he will fail.
Interesting...i felt the same thing the day after the election! It took weeks for me to post ANYTHING related to politics on Facebook. Though now it's starting to creep back in lol I try to keep it focused though, on things like our God given rights as outlined in Scripture and/or the Constitution. That way, when someone wants to argue...they're not arguing with me...they're arguing with God and our founding fathers...all of which are a LOT smarter than me!
ReplyDeleteAs for the Anti-Christ thing...very possible.
As for people being so easily mislead...WOW has that become SO very evident over the last month! I got to listen to a little bit of Rush today and he was talking about a poll that shows that a majority of Obama supporters are against a lot of his policies, namely Obamacare. But they still voted for him! I understand, maybe they didn't like Romney...so they gave the guy they KNOW they don't like and isn't going to live-up to their expectations another chance...brilliant! Aside from that, as Christians and conservatives are taking sides and either standing up or caving in...it really is so very clear how the end times will happen. Growing up we didn't understand, but wow how it's so simple and easy now it seems!
