Sarah Palin - America’s Deborah

In the days of the judges of Israel, Israel had turned their backs repeatedly on the Law of Moses and the God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Moses (Deut. 31:29, Judges 2:6-11). When they followed these absolutes of time and ETERNITY (which was almost NEVER) they were blessed and prospered by the hand of the Lord (Judges 4-5).

"The consequences of this lawless departure led to the break down of society and to the chastening hand of the God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Moses"

During one particular time when Ehud - a godly man, deliverer and judge of the Lord - died, the righteous influence and moral restraint rapidly dissipated and lawlessness began to sweep throughout the land (Judges 4:1). The consequences of this lawless departure led to the break down of society and to the chastening hand of the God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Moses (Deut. 28-32, Lev. 26, Judges 4:1-2, Gal. 6:7). As they reaped their consequences and the tyranny that followed they began to wake up and cry out unto the Lord for deliverance from their self inflicting doings (Judges 4:3).

Since -at this time - there were NO men who were strong godly leaders to judge the people of Israel, God rose up a courageous and godly women named Deborah to fill the gap (Judges 4:4,8-9, 5:7). As the judge and “mother” of Israel, Deborah rallied the nation and the men who were of understanding to defeat their oppressive enemy of twenty years by the hand of the God of Israel and restored justice and soundness to the nation from their oppressors (Judges 5:2). This woman with her love for the sound absolutes of Almighty God - which were found in the 10 commandments and in the Law of Moses - helped deliver the nation of Israel and for a time set them back on the road to recovery and soundness for forty years (Judges 5:31).

Much like the days of Deborah, we here in America seem to have the same settings and lawless crisis sweeping throughout our land at an exponential rate. There truly has not been a great American conservative (socially and fiscally) leader in this land since Ronald Reagan, some 25 years ago).

"What America so desperately needs more than ever is one who has the same God fearing, moral compass and vision that our founding fathers had at the birth of this nation"

What America so desperately needs more then ever is one who has the same God fearing, moral compass and vision that our founding fathers had at the birth of this nation. How many individuals in this nation today who hold political office out right REJECT our founding father's Judeo/Christian values, vision and understanding of what has made America great these last 235 years? There are not many men with courage, who are fearless, who posses sound moral conviction, boldness, passion, understanding of our day and the leadership to bring us back to the place of blessing and to the sound health of American values, which were based NOT on lawlessness, but on the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God!

There is only one that I know of who possess all of these qualities and who is from the heartland of these great United States. This one is not from the "Ivy League" palaces of academia. This one rejects secularism, lawlessness, socialism, progressivism and elitism. Absolutes are NOT relevant. Morality CANNOT be explained away for licentiousness. Lawlessness can NEVER bring harmony only anarchy. America has indeed apostatized from the original intent of the Declaration of Independence and our Constitution. Constitutional apostates have ruled the land these last 70 years and with them they bring social tyranny, injustice, violence, death, lawlessness, oppression, licentiousness, fiscal tyranny, anarchy and ruin (Isa. 1:9). It has finally taken the near social and fiscal collapses of this nation to stir up Americans and to see our desperate need to fight and to take back their country from those who fundamentally oppose all that our founders intended.

"It has finally taken the near social and fiscal collapses of this nation to stir up Americans and to see our desperate need to fight and to take back their country from those who fundamentally oppose all that our founders intended"

Out of the midst of our nation has risen many - but one in particular - whose love for God and country has placed her on the center stage of the 2012 Presidential election. One who the masses of common folk greatly respect and admire. One who has become a “mother” in these United States of America in an hour of crisis. One who has the vision and passion that our founders once possessed. And finally, one who has a fear of Almighty God to govern her and to do the right thing in these last days of America. Whether Sarah will run in 2012 or not nobody knows, but just her presence these last few years has fired up the true American spirit and has rallied the masses to stand and take their country back.

"One to whom the masses of common folk greatly respect and admire. One who has become a “mother” in these United States of America"

It is in times like these that the remnant – to whom possess the true spirit of America and its founding - of masses cry out to the God of George Washington, John Adams, Benjamin Rush – who all possessed a saving relationship to Almighty God – that Almighty God in His kindness may show this nation a little of His grace and mercy before the "Day of the Lord" arrives! We whose nation’s motto is, “In God Do We Trust”!

Sarah Palin is that leader in whom God has seemed to have risen up to stand for the vision that our founders once possessed. She (Sarah) possesses all of the founding father's American qualities and is the right leader for the right time.

"She (Sarah) possesses all of the founding father's American qualities and is the right leader for the right time"

The sunset is going down fast on America and "the Day of the Lord" will soon be at hand. May it be that Almighty God will grant this nation a little more space so that His Word may continue to go out and that the masses of American people would repent and fully turn to Him (Rom. 2:4).

The trumpet may blow at any time, but while we are here waiting the Lord’s soon return, may we all do our part to help slow the flood of lawlessness and lawlessness that has saturated or society and nation. May it be our sincere desire to pray for America and it awakening to the realities at hand. For in the end, whatever becomes of her, our hope is NOT in America and our Constitution, but our HOPE is in Almighty God and in His Son Jesus Christ (Col. 1:27, 1 Tim. 1:1 )! Always remember my dear friends in the light of these temporal settings the BIG picture, that the Kingdom of Heaven is TRULY at hand!

Obviously comprehension eludes you as well. You brought up the men in WWII. I agreed they were brave. At NO point did I say anything about Marines/soldiers of today NOT being brave. As a matter of fact I SPECIFICALLY made reference to my son (a Marine, as per my tagline) being surrounded by heroes every single day...one can extrapolate that I obviously am well aware of the caliber of men serving today.

My point was the CURRENT crop of male politicians, especially those I SPECIFICALLY named who are running for office, in no way compare to the truly brave men I do know. I also explained what I thought about the women who are currently in the political/public arena that are taking heat and still going forward. Just so your brain doesn’t get confused, I’m not comparing these women to our brave men and women in uniform, I’m saying they are exhibiting a bravery the men we now have in the forefront of political life aren’t showing.

And still, what I said four years ago about Alan remains true.

Can you point me to someone who has better or more deeply internalized America's founding principles, or has the ability to communicate those principles more powerfully than Keyes? Really, because I would like to give them their due regard if they're out there.

I note that I did not compare him to some biblical hero. I simply pointed out how a scriptural principle has worked in his life.

Another example of this, albeit in the written form, just came out while this FR exchange was going on. It was Alan Keyes responding to the daily devotional of Gold Star father David Jeffers. Worth the read, and worthy of thinking about:

Dave,
The American people have the choice to turn away from the corrupt political system bent on their moral and physical destruction. They have the choice to seek out and support a candidate from outside the corrupt twin party system. Faith in God means doing what's right and trusting in the Lord for the outcome. It doesn't mean trusting to whited sepulcher lip-service and transparently deceptive evil, while deluding oneself with the forlorn hope that God will make Himself a liar in order to back up our spiritual foolishness.
It saddens me that even solid pro-lifers are tempted to treat the issue of respect for innocent life as if it can be isolated from the larger issue, the one that's at the heart of America's crisis. This larger issue is reflected in the fact that none of the candidates offered by the present corrupt way of doing politics is acting on God's priorities. None of them truthfully represents the primacy of the moral/spiritual issues. They all put mammon in first place. Their fatal flaw therefore goes beyond how they deal with the life issue. It's concerns their unwillingness to act, as America's prevalent Founders did (i.e., the one's who actually prevailed in the deliberations about independence and the Constitution). By declaration and example, these Founders made respect for God's endowment of right and justice the first principle of political action, the never-to-be-forgotten context for all the laws, policies, decisions and actions of the American people. This doesn't mean they never accepted compromise. It means they never accepted a compromised understanding of politics that involved abandoning the truth in principle.
At present America violates the innocent life of nascent humanity because as a nation we have abandoned the priority that must be the basis for all human life-"Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness." By turning away from this priority we abandon truth in principle. This abandonment isn't just about what individual politicians do or say. It's about the understanding of politics on which all of them agree to operate because they accept the priorities and terms of action imposed by the twin-party sham. We cannot hope to restore the integrity of the American republic if we refuse to replace this corruption with a way of doing politics that respects its Founding first principle. The American Founders began by acknowledging God's will as the source and rule for what is right. They did not found the republic exclusively on human calculation, power, wealth and self-worshiping pride.
Instead of party politics based on coalitions of purely selfish interest, we must return to the concept of politics that sees citizen action as a covenant of people of goodwill, that is, people drawn together (convened) by their determination to serve the common good defined by God's endowment for humanity, and all creation.
If we do what in good conscience we are convinced God made us to do, we need never despair of success. Rather, we are called to persevere, however our bleak the worldly wise perceive our hopes to be. "For God knows the way of the righteous." So those who walk in His way may do so calmly trusting in Him for miracles.
Alan Keyes
