False Messiahs and a Red America

The presidential candidates talk of uniting America under their leadership.
Hillary says, "We'll make history" and "I can lead America in the future."
Obama says, "I'm asking you to believe" and "My message is a message of hope and change that we can believe in.
"McCain says, "If I'm elected President, the era of the permanent campaign will end. The era of problem solving will begin."
These will say and do anything - especially those on the Left - to posses the most powerful position in all the world: the U.S. Presidency. The bottom line is this: Whichever one of these wins in November will set in motion the greatest change in culture, policy and personal freedoms in the history of the United States. All three of the Presidential Candidates are Socialist at the core. Our country was founded as a Constitutional Republic with our trust firmly in Almighty God. Man, have we fallen! McCain is a moderate liberal and Obama and Clinton are secular leftist liberals.The erosion of our moral culture somewhat began in the 1870's - 1880's with secular liberal policies penetrating mainstream America. But it wasn't until 1963 that the dam began to fracture greatly. In 1963 prayer was removed from the classroom. The moral and God-fearing connection was severed. What soon followed was the radical social revolution of the 1960's. During this time all that was moral and sound was vehemently attacked and slandered. This vigorous erosion intensified (with help from Hollywood, the music industry, television news and the news media) to the place from which we have never recovered. The 1960's opened the door to an anti-Judean/anti-Christian culture in which an attitude of immorality, decadence and licentious freedoms now dominates and penetrates society in America. Since 1963 America has been spiraling out of control, ever downward. Family values are all but gone. Common sense is absent. Evolution perceived as reality. Sex and drugs possessing millions. Licentiousness rampant and sodomy legalized. Violent and lewd lyrics from the rock-rap-hip-hop music industry poisoning millions of our youth's minds. Pornography pervading the internet. Prisons overcrowded. STD’s and pestilence (read AIDS) abound from the consequences of all this immoral behavior. 45,000,000 abortions in this country since 1973 in the name of “choice.” When man with his fallen humanity refuses to be governed by the righteous laws of God, all manner of decadence and misery will break loose. "And the work of righteousness shall be peace" (Isaiah 32:17). Rights without responsibility will always lead to anarchy.The Bible speaks about the last days in 2 Timothy 3:1-7: This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
All these vices today are put under the umbrella and renamed The New Morality, Freedom of Speech and Expression, Human Rights, Tolerance, Political Correctness etc., etc., and we are expected to accepted these as virtues. Woe unto you America! Isaiah 5:20-21 says:
Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
We as a nation are totally reaping the consequences of these actions. How can America escape God’s righteous judgment for these atrocious sins?This independence from Almighty God and the rejection of His moral absolutes has led us to where we are today. The fallout of this presidential race will bring about the end of conservatism in Washington, D.C. and the beginning of a godless, secular Socialism that America won’t recover from. Even now, from the Schools to the States to the Congress, from the Town Offices to the Courts to the Presidency, secular liberal Socialism has penetrated and currently has its grasp on all of our educational and governmental institutions. These events are not just happening here in America, but also on a global scale.
Matthew 24:4-14 reads; And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
2 Thessalonians 2:1-3 states:
Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition.
1 Thessolinians 5:1-4 :But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
All three Presidential candidates seem to have all the answers and solutions to the problems of America and the world. Do not be deceived! They don't. May Almighty God be our trust and rock in these last days. Joshua 1:9 states:
Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
And Titus 2:11-15 says:
For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
