Oh, I don't know about that. Reagan got in with a pretty good majority and as a result the Berlin Wall fell which restored a huge amount of freedom of religion back to Eastern Europe.
Not in terms of politics and governments and freedom movements and democracy and "the West"... that's all secondary stuff and not very relevant in the scheme of things per the Bible.
It's like these things are "bit players" in the overall grand scheme that God is bringing about, as He says in the Bible. They are here today and gone tomorrow, but the Word of God goes on forever.
What I'm talking about in warnings not heeded is in terms of the Word of God and how it is accepted and used and adhered to in people's lives -- not whether there's a Republican or Democrat in office or whether the West gains advantage against its enemies and so on like that.
When it's all said and done, all the nations of the world will be as nothing compared to the coming Kingdom that Jesus, the Messiah of Israel will set up here on earth, when He sets His foot back on this planet.
That's all been progressing in a "straight line" without deviation for the last 100 years, too... and is building to that final point.
And we see the one-world government being pushed into place, piece by piece, over decades, actually. And it's still moving ahead without slowing down either. This is not an "East/West thing" or a "West against its enemies" thing, or "the have-nations against the have-not nations" thing...
This is about the one-world government that the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob says will come into place (as we see it now) and He will judge it and then destroy it and replace it with His own one-world government. That's what Christians look forward to -- this coming one-world government ruled by Jesus, the Messiah of Israel. That's what is going to be the fun part... :-)
Exactly...and when that Wall came crashing down a WHOLE lot of people in Eastern Europe were given the freedom again to adhere to and put that Word of God into practice BECAUSE of the West's efforts.
whether the West gains advantage against its enemies
I don't think you get how "freedom movements" as you put it and "the West" are integral to promoting the very Word you venerate...and how its enemies are opposed to the Word spreading. You really shouldn't lessen the importance of the people in politics God raises up to promote His freedom in the world and in so doing allows the Word to be taught freely.
