Prophecy Today
As campaigning for the United States Congressional elections draw to a close all candidates are claiming victory and telling the voters to make sure they vote because this is one of the most important elections in many years, a statement echoed by many political pundits. all 435 seats of the United States House of Representatives are up for grabs and 37 of the 100 seats in the United States Senate are open with the governorships of 37 of the 50 states to be decided at a very critical time economically and politically here in the United States. Both the Democratic and Republican parties are claiming that their candidates will do good on election day if they can get their people to go to the polls and cast their vote for the direction they want America to go in the future.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
As Americans go to the polls in this upcoming national election those who win will help set the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.
Finally all the campaigning will be complete and the voters will - or should - go to the polls to exercise their franchise and cast their vote for the candidate of their choice. The candidates have been telling the voters of the critical issues that the next elected officials in the United States Congress will have to deal with which will set the direction of the United States body politic for the future. Some voters have been trying to make sense of the political rhetoric that has permeated the print media and the air waves for a number of months.
I am not going to predict the outcome of the elections because I am not a prophet nor the son of a prophet. However, I will predict that those elected will indeed make decisions that will set the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled. I can make that statement because of what the scriptures say in Romans 13:1 where the Bible tells us that those elected will be ordained by God. God instituted human government in Genesis 9:6 and has used human government down through the centuries to accomplish His will for humankind. God is today and will in the future continue to use human government to accomplish His will that is according to Revelation 17:17 where it says that the Lord will put into the hearts of world leaders and elected officials to do His will. God will use human government elected by man to fulfill Bible prophecy.
