Today, November 5, 2008, we wake to find that the honor of every man and woman who has served in any war to preserve liberty has been set at naught. My teeth are set on edge, as though I had bitten into an unripe citrus, or sour grapes. There is a sense of pain, running through my head, that cannot be described. I wish my name was on the Wall, so that I would not have to witness the things that I know will come. I wish I did not know what is coming.

I am not a Prophet or a Seer; I am not a diviner. I would never hold a séance, and I cannot reveal secret details of the future. But still, as a student of History and Scripture, I know what is going to come . . . by what has been . . . by what is written.  It is not about race, but content of character; Alan Keyes or Colin Powell would have been much better candidates.  They possess an integrity this man does not even desire.

The Prophet Daniel, beloved of The Good Lord, recorded a vision with stunning implications: He was told they were visions of the end times. With stunning accuracy, Daniel predicted the progression of Kingdoms that would follow the kingdom of Ancient Babylon, that of Media and Persia, then Greece, then Rome.

Long after that, there will be one who will rise to power, and “He will become very strong, but not by his own power. He will cause astounding devastation and will succeed in whatever he does. He will destroy the mighty men and the holy people. He will cause deceit to prosper, and he will consider himself superior. When they feel secure, he will destroy many and take his stand against the Prince of princes. Yet he will be destroyed, but not by human power.”
(Daniel 8:24-25)

Any intellectually honest person must acknowledge that the winning campaign was one of bombastic brainwash and deceit. As though the half truths were not bad enough, the frequency of the message effectively overloaded the senses of all who were not firmly rooted in truth.

You may boo me, shout me down, mock me, persecute me, kill me if you like – it will only silence one human voice. Others who have also received the witness will be speaking out, as well. If you have been putting off settling your commitment, whether or not you will serve the Living God, it is now time.

Poor Arky....

One correction:

Any intellectually honest person must acknowledge that religion is a lie.

"Any intellectually honest person must acknowledge that the winning campaign was one of bombastic brainwash and deceit."

That's how it works. That's how it's always been. I guess you want reform as much as I do.

Hey Arky

I love your post. They are always well thought out and backed by the Word. I did not support Mr. Obama but a thought came to me after he was elected and it was this:

ROM 13:1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.

The commenters that believe that religion and salvation are a lie won't put any stock in this comment. Mr. Obama is where he is by design. It is ordained of God to accomplish His will for this period of history, to bring about His purposes. The whole chapter of Romans 13 defines the purpose of government and why we pay taxes but the first verse establishes that there are no powers that are not ordained of God. He raises up kings and takes them down. I believe America has been judged. Arky, you are correct I believe in that now is the time to "make our calling and election sure" I will pray for Mr. Obama each day as we are to pray for our leaders that we live quiet and peacable lives. He is the president-elect for this time.

Hey Northton

These words are from the book that you consider a lie. Meditate on them.

PS 14:1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

PS 14:2 The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.

PS 14:3 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

PS 14:4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD.

PS 14:5 There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous.

PS 14:6 Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD is his refuge.

Even in our wretched condition He still loves us

Nevertheless, I will not compromise the tenets of Biblical Christianity. I know that many who say they are Christian do not care for or obey the teachings of Jesus.] . . . . [I believe the Constitution of the United States, including the first ten amendments (as originally written) and subsequent amendments passed by prescribed process, are the only legitimate law of this Nation UNDER GOD; that the tenets of our Constitution can be plainly understood by The Common Folk, as well as the erudite; and that those who would change those plain meanings by any craft or crook are Traitors to us all.]
