I hesitate to jump to eschatological explanations, but there are two schools of thought on America's role in the endtimes. One is that America has a central role as the "spiritual Israel," but this seems pretty unlikely since Israel's rebirth. The second is that America has no role and will be removed prior to the end.

I've wondered long before Tuesday if our decline may be setting the stage for endtime events that occur in a world without an American superpower. Maybe yes and maybe no, but internal conflicts, resurgent isolationism, and a church that has lost its first love make me think it's plausible.

Interesting take Steve, and just one of a couple i have read since trump was elected. My take is simple, as a country of voters, we just aren't very bright or tuned in. Clearly character has virtually no importance in who we elect. And please spare me, the nonsense voters love his "policies."

Nope, apparently we love the show, need to be entertained by an old man doing the "weave." We love the endless lies, hatred and rage that pours forth every time he stepped on a stage or appeared in front of a microphone.

Here's the good news (at least for me), i am an old man, relatively comfortable as i age. As i have written often, who wins or looses the election won't change my life in any meaningful way. After 48 years of sobriety, i understand perfectly my happiness and peace of mind is on me. No one else, no other person or thing can or will change that.

The chaos will be endless and rule the day, for that you are dead spot on. The one argument/rebuttal i have is simply this and i hope you are right: Somehow this is part of God's master plan and that we auto or self correct and find a better place for this country?

My best bet is a year from know way too many folks will look in the mirror and ask themselves: my God, what have we done?
