While Our Attention is Diverted

I’m freaking out a bit today, and not because of hurricanes in the gulf, the latest polls, or a vice-presidential candidate named Sarah Palin. I do think she’s cool, though. And just when you thought some on the Left mistreated Hillary, I mean… wow.

It’s gonna backfire on them if they keep this up. My goodness. The clumsiness of the disrespect is staggering, but kinda funny in a shake your head sadly way.

Despite the foolishness, I think it’s significant that no matter who wins, history will be made. Either we will have the first president who isn’t Caucasian, or we will have the first woman vice-president. The moment, and the people involved, deserve better than what we’ll probably give them.

For myself, I’m voting for McCain because of the abortion issue. Sarah Palin and I are in agreement on that and our faith as well. I make zero apologies for it because I believe it to be the right thing, morally. But let’s not miss the opportunity to tip a hat to Obama for what he has accomplished. I love this election. Except for the stupidity of some personal attacks, this nation should take a historic step forward either way. Vote for what you believe, respect those with whom you disagree. Whoever gets the most votes wins. That’s the system. Enjoy.

We’ll debate some of the issues around here a little later. In the meantime, remember this verse:

As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.
-Matthew 24:37-39

Currently, in America, we are preoccupied with a lot of stuff, but here’s what’s happening in the headlines we aren’t reading…

Congress Away, Russian (and World) Play
If Russia Shows Interest in Palestine
Iran’s Perfect Storm
The Global Economy’s Gathering Storm

That’s just today. What’s the significance?

The scenarios that would fulfill Ezekiel 38-39, Revelation 6 and 8, and send the world spiraling into the bad parts of the Bible, are not calming down but heating up under the surface like magma under a volcano. I was hoping things would calm down, and the world would move away from the Ezekiel and Revelation picture of World War III, but complete with all the necessary nations lined up just as the Bible predicted thousands of years ago, it’s not going away just yet. Downright spooky stuff at the moment.

Oh yeah, almost forgot, the Prime Minister of Britain, Gordon Brown wrote this today:

We now know how much more we have to do to create an effective system of international rules. We must strengthen the system of global governance to meet the challenges of our interdependent world. We must reshape our global architecture to meet the new challenges: climate change, energy security, poverty, migration. And in doing so we must stand up for both our vital interests and our essential values.

Noble thoughts. Exactly what needs to be done in order to bring on the one-world, united governments in Europe talked about in Daniel and Revelation.

Is this the beginning of the end? I don’t know. But this is the sort of thing one would expect if it was. See the posts on the Prophetic Storm and keep an eye on things. Don’t get too distracted by the ridiculous political diatribes just yet. No matter how much they make you laugh.
