All of your observations are correct, and well thought out.

The question everyone is asking is "What now??!!"

I don't know your beliefs and I won't ask them. Those are yours alone and they are personal. - especially if you don't wish to share them on a public forum.

For me, I have thought about this and these bible versus came to mind:

_______________________________________________________________________

Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

"The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!

"No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.

Matthrew 6: 19-24

What Satan meant for evil, God can use for good. Perhaps too many people worship politics and politicians instead of looking to God, and placing their faith in Him.

If I love this world more than God, I am on the wrong the track. This world will always choose the wrong path in the end. If I place my faith in it, I will always be disappointed.

The Left has their Messiah. He is Obama. Don't believe me? Even some in the media cannot ignore this anymore:

Obama: The Democratic Messiah?

The Obama Messiah Watch Introducing a periodic feature considering evidence that Obama is the son of God.

Obama as Liberal Messiah

_{Statue of Obama as Messiah by artist David Cordero. He calls the statue "Blessing."}

This week, there was an article by ABC News where even liberal reporters were getting uncomfortable. They said Obama's supporters would corner people and tell them to "Come to Obama!" The Senator himself uses increasingly religious terms and rhetoric. Oprah routinely refers to him as "The One!"

I already have a Messiah - He is Jesus Christ. This world can go off half crazed and off a cliff, but my God will forever stand firm.

Perhaps that is what all of this is about. God is reminding us that if we place our faith in this world, in failed politics, and fallen men and women, we will always come away empty.

God knows all about terrorist threats, wars and rumors of wars. His Word warns that the heathen will rage, secular powers will try to outlaw Christianity, and fast-growing, anti-Christ movements will boast they'll rule the world and destroy Jesus' followers. And the Bible says this about all of that.

"The Kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord and against His own, saying Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us" PSALM 2 vs 2,3

In short, Let's cast away all moral hindrances, all moral landmarks of the past. The above scripture tells exactly what has happened in this election. They 'set' themselves who the candidates will be, they broke our band w/them and cast us aside.

I really appriciated your thoughtful reply to my “rant”. Sorry I posted that when I was just plain fed up. I am a Christian, and as such I KNOW God is in control..my daughter and I have discussed many times how patient God has been with our nation, and how we almost feel guilty asking for His protection for our dear country, when we as a culture have systematically tried and in many situations succeeded in getting any mention of God banned...that plus our culture is in free fall we have lost our moral base...I know that’s not popular to write, and I’ll likely get flamed, but it’s true...and sooner or later,we have to face the truth of what we’ve allowed to happen to our country. I too believe that nothing happens that is not in Gods’ plan...and I think we’re in for a major correction.
