\n\tIn the past a majority of the 60 million Christians in the United States have voted for candidates they believed were morally superior. But how do you
\n\tdetermine what makes a morally superior candidate? Is it enough to be against abortion, partial birth abortion, gay marriage, and stem cell research that
\n\tdestroys human embryos, and for traditional values and Jesus Christ?<\/p>\n
\n\tDo certain litmus issues trump all other positions held?<\/p>\n
\n\tBut for Christians the story doesn\u2019t end there. Christianity is not concerned only with today\u2019s morals and issues, but also with the future\u2019s values.
\n\tChristianity is a religion with a prophetic element that cannot be easily dismissed. As briefly as it can be put, the following must be understood: Many
\n\tBible-based Christians believe that the end of this age will be dominated by an entity or figure referred to as the antichrist. This individual will be
\n\tempowered by Satan and is presented in Revelation 13 as the \u201cbeast from the sea,\u201d with an identifying number of 666. This individual or system will for a
\n\tshort time become a world ruler who controls all commerce to the point where no one can buy or sell unless they have the mark of the beast on their hand or
\n\tforehead. In other words, do it his way or you starve!<\/p>\n
\n\tAt the present time the world is rushing headlong toward globalization and a New World Order. Trade agreements are being pushed that are arguably
\n\tdetrimental to the United States but seemingly good for developing countries. Borders between countries are slowly being abolished, perhaps planned by
\n\tthose who want the world identified not by countries but by economic zones. This might explain the reluctance of more than one administration in this
\n\tcountry even to address the problem of illegal immigration. It is possible that planners are looking to the development of the coming New World Order, the
\n\tmerging of economic regions—and if some Americans are short-changed in the process, so be it, as the planners figure it will be worth it in the long run.<\/p>\n
\n\tIn the early 1990s Clinton adviser Strobe Talbott outlined that administration\u2019s preferred approach to world affairs: \u201cNationhood as we know it will be
\n\tobsolete. All states will recognize a single global authority.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tA chilling statement if there ever was one. It could be taken as the equivalent of saying \u201cGoodbye, America, and everything you ever stood for.\u201d This
\n\t\u201cpreferred approach\u201d is not endemic to the Democratic Party, of course. At the present time it is the \u201capproach\u201d of both parties, neither of which has been
\n\tgiven a mandate for this by the American people.<\/p>\n
\n\tConsider the words of President George H. W. Bush, in his state of the union address on January 29, 1991, referring to the first war with Iraq:<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cWe know why we\u2019re there. We are Americans, part of something larger than ourselves. . . . What is at stake is more than one small country; it is a big
\n\tidea: a New World Order, where diverse nations are drawn together in common cause to achieve the universal aspirations of mankind. . . . The world can,
\n\ttherefore, seize this opportunity to fulfill the long-held promise of a New World Order.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tMadness? Insanity? Religious fanaticism? Call it what you will, but many evangelical Christians believe this world government will be established. What
\n\tthey may not notice (fail to understand) is that some of the main architects of this coming state of affairs may be those public figures who present a
\n\tmoral agenda while unknowingly setting the stage for the emergence of the antichrist. Many fail to see any contradiction between their support for moral
\n\tdomestic values and an accompanying agenda to bring about the world coalition the Bible warns of.<\/p>\n
\n\tEvangelicals should be able to see through the glib claims of those who would solicit their support, but there is at least one huge blind spot called the
\n\tabortion issue, and many are, unfortunately, unable to see past it. Which means that unless they wake up and begin taking the long biblical view, they will
\n\tbe instrumental in taking their country down a disastrous path leading to its loss of sovereignty, values, culture, and freedoms. While trying to save
\n\ttheir country, they might actually harm it!<\/p>\n
\n\tAny new world order will likely not be the promised millennium. It will be more akin to the Tower of Babel, which in the end produced nothing, because the
\n\tfinal outcome of this world is in God\u2019s hands, and not in the hands of multinational gangsters, power-mad politicians, utopian dreamers, or the biblically
\n\tilliterate who might be used by all of the above.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
