ELECTION 2016: 10.8.16 - Of choices, votes, good, evil

Of choices, votes, good, evil - Bill Wilson - www.dailyjot.com

 

I have been receiving hundreds of emails about various opinions on voting in this election. Many believe there is no choice in this presidential election. Some believe that it is predetermined who will win. I know that when I was working in politics, Christians were involved at the local level in choosing candidates. We had committee members and chairmen, organizations of conservatives and Christians working together to choose candidates. That doesn't appear to be the case anymore, so the moderates and moderately Christian or non-Christians are choosing the nominees. We have/had a choice, our choice was not to be involved as much as we could have been. Now we choose from another's choice.

 

I do not believe that the president is already chosen. I do believe that the king-makers have hedged their bets and are doing whatever they can to place their most favored person--communists and capitalists alike (although all these moneyed people are capitalists, despite their hypocritical political leanings). We must also be vigilant against voter fraud--it is a huge problem. Your choice on election day is a choice. You will vote. You may not vote. You may vote for one of the two-party candidates, or you may write in. But you will make a choice. And any choice short of voting for Donald Trump is in actuality a vote for Hillary Clinton. How you justify that choice is what will make you angry at my last statement.

 

Our nation is at a crossroads for all the reasons you already know. Things are going to get better or get worse by our nation's decision. I think so often Christians tend to over-analyze and use scripture to justify the way they feel or their actions. Its called isogesis. Our free will is a gift from God and He sees how we use it. Our actions determine our situation, even after much prayer and supplication. God not only gave us free will, He allows us to live out the consequences of our decisions. Maybe we blame God for too many things for which we ourselves are responsible. All choices, whether they be action or inaction, have consequences! 

 

For me, I am not voting for the lesser of two evils. I am choosing/voting to get rid of an evil with hopes that we as a people can begin to change the godless direction of this nation. We are at a pivotal and dangerous point where if we do not stop this, we are going to suffer even greater consequences. Some will blame it on God's judgment (and to a large extent, be correct). But also, how much of these horrors we will experience are the result of our own inactions of not overcoming evil with good? As Romans 12:21 says, "Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good." As I see it, my vote--and I will vote-- will be a vote of good intent and faith that the Lord may use it for His good purpose. Be blessed and follow your heart as weighed in the balance of our Lord! Do what you will. I will. Hopefully, we are in the Lord's will.

 

 

Stealing elections - Bill Wilson - www.dailyjot.com

 

The whole idea behind voter identification at the polls is so that one person, one vote can be administrated. Without an identification-proof of who you are and where you live-elections can be stolen. There are reports in Virginia (Democratic VP Tim Kaine's home state) of over 1,000 illegal registrations and similar reports in Philadelphia and Ohio. According to Election Data Services, there are approximately 186,000 precincts in the US. In a close election, depending on the state's electoral college, a swing of 10 votes a precinct could dictate the outcome of a presidential election. But swaying an election illegally is based on tried and true practices more than relying on illegal immigrant registration.

 

In most states, all you have to do to vote is come in and say your name and verify your address. The clerk checks off your name on the voter registration rolls for that precinct. Once the name is checked off, no one can vote using your name and address. This is easily overcome. Both parties have poll watchers at the polls. Both parties continuously check on who has voted, especially those who are registered for their respective party. Near the end of the day, they have lists of who hasn't voted and an organized precinct chairman will make sure a call goes out to those on the list and remind them that they haven't voted and that their vote is needed. Sometimes rides are coordinated to deliver these folks to the polls.

 

There have been local, state, and even national legislative initiatives to clean up the voter rolls-that is, remove those who have died from the voter registration rolls. The Democrats have long opposed these efforts using the argument that it disenfranchises voters who may not be dead or people of color that elections boards may remove on purpose. As the polls are about to close, party precinct chairmen who know who has died, but remains on the voter registration rolls, round up people to stand in and vote for the dead people. This is why voter identification is so important. This practice is infamous in Chicago where the Democrats steal elections year after year. It occurs in other places, too.

 

Add into the mix the illegals who are registered to vote when obtaining a drivers license. These people can be bussed to the polls and paid to pull the lever for the right person. Because they can't read, they are allowed someone to assist them (who usually can verify that they voted for the right person). Also be mindful of electronic voting as these machines can be programed to sway an election. When they are caught, the error is blamed on the need for "recalibration." I'll say. This is why it is so important for Christians to register and vote. That is how we overcome what is stacked against us because as 2 Timothy 3:13 says, "Evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived."

 

 

Power - Terry James - http://raptureready.com/rap16.html

 

Henry Kissinger once said that political power is the ultimate aphrodisiac. He should know. He was for many years at or near the very top on that political leadership chain that wields such power. Some believe he remains so today, even into his nineties.

 

Power is the one thing for which the global elitists lust. It has been that way since Nimrod first thought to establish one-world order on the plains of Shinar those millennia ago. The constant, incessant drive since the time God intervened and scattered the would-be globalist government architects at Babel has continued to be construction of humanistic world order under the absolute authority of a small number of power brokers.

 

Daniel the prophet and John the revelator both saw the same composite beast coming out of the sea of humanity at the very end of history. Each vision represented a single-governing, global entity. Daniel, in particular, saw that the monster was the composite of great world empires of the past.

 

Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea. And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another. The first waslike a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it. And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh. After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it. After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns. I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things. (Daniel 7:2-8)

 

John prophesied the following through his Patmos vision: And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. (Revelation 13: 1-2)

 

It is clear that the great prophets Daniel and John were given almost identical visions of the monstrous hybrid entity that will one day crush all of humanity under its massively destructive power. Representing all of the great humanistic empires of history, the satanically driven final world empire will have at its head a single mouth--that of Antichrist--the first beast of Revelation 13. That mouth will speak "great things," meaning it will propagandize the world's inhabitants to such an extent that they will believe a great lie that will deceive all but the very elect of God--those saved during the Tribulation era (2 Thessalonians 2:11-12).

 

To anyone with eyes to see and especially with ears to hear, we are witness today of the development of that great power to deceive. The globalists are shouting with the all-in assistance of the world's media and through actions that are louder than mere words. They want to transform the world into the new Babel--a neo-Nimrod platform upon that will erect, at least symbolically, a tower even more powerful and all-encompassing than that Tower of Babel of antiquity.

 

This, to me, is what is among the most troubling in this presidential election. There is a clear distinction between the directions the two major candidates want to go with regard to how America will be governed for the next four years.

 

The power struggle is immense. One candidate claims that he wants to begin returning the United States to the leadership of the world of nations, with maintenance of traditionally distinctive borders and ways of dealing internationally.

 

The other candidate's driving imperative is clearly to continue taking America down the path of deconstructing national boundaries and forcing slavish adherence to more and more internationalist regulations. She is adamantly determined to bring this nation into compliance with the globalist, one-world design.

 

I say that to me this is especially troubling because Bible prophecy clearly presents that a beastly composite, world order will one day come to pass, if but for a short time. National autonomy and sovereignty will therefore have to at some point diminish and ultimately vanish.

 

Those of us who want to see America and other nations maintaining--or I should say returning--the international order to like it has been in the recent past seem on the wrong side of Bible prophecy. The globalists seem on the winning side, in that sense.

 

This election will supposedly determine whether we will go one direction or the other with regard to whether we will live under the U.S. Constitution or under Global Agenda 21 or 30, or whatsoever it's called now.

 

Lucifer lusted after God-like power (Isaiah 14:14). All of fallen mankind since the time of the Garden of Eden has clamored for God-like power, which Satan promised through his original deception to Eve. Today, with a U.S. presidential candidacy that threatens to disrupt their one-world agenda, there is a desperate effort to hold to power in Washington, D.C., in the U.N., and in the echelons of principalities and powers in high places (Ephesians 6:12).

 

The die is cast, as Shakespeare would put it. The new world order is coming. It's just a matter of when. Will it come during this presidential election cycle?

 

I believe the answer to that might depend upon the born again of this nation.

 

According to Paul's prophecy in 2 Thessalonians, the Restrainer (the Holy Spirit resident within each individual believer in Jesus Christ) will restrain until He (the Holy Spirit) is taken out of the way. Then all-out iniquity will fill the vacuum left in the wake of His removal as Restrainer.

 

The Church--all born-again believers--just might have at its prayerful fingertips the power to hold back or restrain absolute evil until Christ's Body--all born-again believers--is removed.

 

It is incumbent upon each of us as believers, therefore, to appropriate that Power of restraint against those who would bring about the Antichrist, globalist power base for as long as we serve as Royal Ambassadors upon this judgment-bound planet.

 

The power of prayer is beyond anything the finite mind can fathom. Let us use the privilege we have been given to exercise this great weapon against the ultimate evil Satan plans for humanity.

 

 

 Mark them who cause divisions - Bill Wilson - www.dailyjot.com

 

Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump has been caught several times saying insulting remarks toward certain individuals. The Miss Universe winner, for example, who was under contract to not gain any weight during her reign, was insulted by Trump. This has made huge headlines. But Trump has not leveled insults at voting blocks of the American people as has his opponent Democratic Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. Clinton has shown her disdain for the voting American public by labeling those who disagree with her brand of politics as living in the basement of their parent's house or being downright deplorable. How can anyone who shows such dislike of fellow Americans be fit to hold office?

 

She characterized those who would vote for Donald Trump as "deplorables." At a high-ticket fundraiser September 9, Clinton said, "To just be grossly generalist, you can put half of Trump supporters into what I call 'the basket of deplorables. Racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic, you name it." Referring to Millennial voters who supported her primary opponent Bernie Sanders, Clinton told another group of her wealthy donors at a reception, "They're children of the Great Recession. And they are living in their parents' basement. They feel they got their education and the jobs that are available to them are not at all what they envisioned for themselves. And they don't see much of a future."

 

Clinton's campaign of characterizing those who disagree with her as racists and bigots is offensive in the least. She is demonstrating that she is unfit to hold the office she seeks because she has such a hate-filled opinion of conservative Americans who would not vote for her. Then on the other hand, Clinton has expressed disdain for those Millennial voters who feel a sense of entitlement because they have gotten their education and there are no jobs for them. There is a tremendous divide of civility here. One candidate's slogan is "Make America Great Again," the other's is "Fighting for Us" or just plain "Hillaryclinton.com." This speaks a lot. One is national oriented. The other is individual oriented.

 

George Washington, in his 1796 Farewell Speech, warned against excitations caused by political parties, saying, "they tend to render alien to each other those who ought to be bound together by fraternal affection." He also warned that Americans should be watching for the nation's "preservation with jealous anxiety...and indignantly frowning upon the first dawning of every attempt to alienate any portion of our country from the rest, or to enfeeble the sacred ties which now link together the various parts." Romans 16:7 also warns, "mark them who cause divisions and offenses contrary to the doctrine which you have learned; and avoid them." Clinton disparages those who disagree with her, not only her opponent, but those who may vote against her. If she does it so blatantly now, what later if she wins?
