I think that God raises and deposes leaders. Obama is on the way out, and what a punishment for our nation.
Will we have more punishment or will we be given another chance?
It depends on our attitude.
If we come to the Throne as “God be merciful to us sinners” then a lot of sin will be pardoned.
It’s trying to take care of sin on our own that gets us punished. We literally catch the devil. It is its own punishment.
