I personally believe that we are either in the very beginning stages of "the end times", or we're right at it's door-step; it's so hard to tell, and to sit around arguing is pointless; Christ wouldn't want us bickering about the end times; he'd want us living for him,and standing up for what's right....this is one beef I have with "rapture" Christians. Quite frankly, I don't think anyone can say "yes there will be a rapture" or "no there won't be"; the Lord is going to do whatever he wants...but as I point out to them "no matter how it happens, the Lord wouldn't want us waiting around for it to happen".
Anyway, all the executive orders, the ramping up the UN, the Real ID act, the increasing surveillance society mentality, and a ton of others things all point to this.
I just find it amazing that the Lord, in his infinite compassion and wisdom has sent Ron Paul at our dark hour as if to say "what are you going to do America?" It's just my opinion, but I honestly think this man is our last hope and last chance. A year or so ago, I wouldn't have ever guessed that we would get a "last chance" like this...but meh, I'm just a simple-minded human
I also am fully convince that only a handful of true followers of Christ will be aware that the antiChrist is on the scene, or that they're heading towards an evil one world government.....the pseudoChristians will point, laugh, and ridicule the few that know the truth.
Years ago, I figured that if America did have one last chance, or that the end times were upon us, all the Christians would suddenly unite and see the difference...and actively oppose it....boy, did I have false notions in my mind...this particular election cycle is very telling of that.
John 8:32--"And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
Still, I have faith that if it's the Lord's will, Ron Paul will get in.....heheh, after all, I come from Ohio, where our slogan is "With God,
all things are possible".
indeed we Christians should take heed to this verse "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." --Philippians 4:13
