Heaven's Endorsement
Messsage Magazine
Everyday newspapers and television broadcasts run some byline about a presidential hopeful. Blogs pop up all over the Internet inviting people to share their viewpoints about the candidates and the issues. Then there are strategically placed billboards along the roadside and campaign signs dotting front lawns and street corners. It is clearly an election year, and November 4 is right around the corner. Each candidate is scurrying around hoping to secure your vote. Which political party do you want in power? Which/ candidate do you think is the best man or woman for the job?
Have you ever wondered if Heaven endorses a particular party? If Jesus were living on earth today as a United States citizen, would He be a Democrat, Independent, or a Republican? Which candidate on this years campaign trail would He support? The Bible gives a host of qualities a president should possess as well as the duties he/she should perform. Lets look at four of them and see which candidate, if any, fits the bill.
Loves God and His Word
Psalm 138:4 states: All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O Lord, when they hear the words of thy mouth. The presidential candidate of choice should enjoy Gods Word and praise Him for His Word, for it is through the Word of God that he/she receives wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. And in these last days we surely need someone in the White House who is connected to the Source of all wisdom.
Treats the Poor Fairly
In America today poverty is an unfortunate reality. Thankfully, the plight of the poor has become a major issue in this years election, especially with regard to universal health care and education. Did you know that in 2005 there were nearly 47 million Americans, or 16 percent of the population, without health insurance?1 That was about one in six Americans! Of that 47 million, 45.8 million of them were more likely to be poor and low income than higher income.
The Divine Destruction of America: Can She Avert It
In
The Name of Allah, The Beneficent, The Merciful. I have chosen as a subject
today, The Divine Destruction of America: Can She Avert It? America is the
greatest nation on earth and the greatest nation in the last 6,000 years.
But America and her people, which includes you, face divine destruction. The
question is: Can she avert it?
In the Holy Quran, the 7th Surah, or chapter, in the 34th verse, it reads: And every nation has a term; so when its term comes, they cannot remain behind the least while, nor can they precede it. If every nation has a term, does America have a term? If so, what is the term? A term is a time or period to which something lasts. It is a period of time to which limits have been set; conditions or stipulations limiting what is proposed to be granted or done. If every nation has a time to which some limits have been set, what time is it for America and what limits have been set for her?
In the book of Revelations, the 13th chapter, the 18th verse, it reads: Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count [or calculate] the number of the beast: for it is a number of a man; and his number is six hundred threescore and six. Some translations say it is the number of a man, 666. The word calculate is trying to teach us that we must ascertain the beast and the man by mathematical methods.
