This was just posted by my pastor on Facebook.... In light of Romans 13:1 ""Let every person be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God." When the results are in...Did AMERICA elect Obama or Romney or did God ordain one or the other be so? No matter what happens, just know this...whether you might like it or not...is irrelevant. America and the world is headed down the path of prophecy for God's ultimate plan to the redemption of the world. When and how that happens...will play out before our very eyes in the coming years (if Jesus tarries from coming for that long.)

God appoints all earthly authorities. Look to the ultimate authority.

I was just thinking about John 16:these things i have spoken to you that in me you might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation, but be of good cheer; i have overcome the world.

Thank you for your post, every one of your projections will more than likely come to pass very quickly. Those of us who know the Lord Jesus must follow the injunction to: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not unto your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall make your path straight." Proverbs 3:5-6

Some are already playing the blame game but the reality is: The problem with the results of this election do not rest with Romney, nor Ryan, Barone or Morris. Romney and Ryan are honorable and good men (as men count goodness)and they ran an admirable, hard-fought campaign.

The problem rests with us, it is one of the heart and soul of America itself. We have forsaken Christ, and forsaken His Word. If God does not have mercy and deliver us, then I believe we are under the judgment of Almighty God as a direct result of our ongoing lawlessness, ungodliness and sin. He has given America over to our sin and degradation (cf. Romans 1:18-32)and we have reached the tipping point of no return as a nation. I do not want to say these things, it breaks my heart because I, along with millions of other believers love America, but God is not mocked:

"Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary. So then, while we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the household of the faith. (Galatians 6:7-10)

As a man sows, so shall he reap and we are reaping now what we have sown.

Pray because at this point, the very existence and future of our nation rests in the hands and predetermined will of God.

Romney, Ryan, no mere man or party can save America and her people, only the Lord Jesus Christ.

If the outcome of this elections stands and Obama gains reelection, we are about to enter the refining crucible of Almighty God as a result of our sin and God's divine judgment as a nation and as individuals. The key is to know and stay close to/walk with the Lord Jesus in the midst of it all and to stay faithful to Him because things are going to get very bad from here on out, but as you stated in your post, it was prophesied and we are privileged to see these harrowing events come to pass: "As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be at the coming of the Son of Man." (cf. Luke 17:26-33)

Take heart, and find your hope and strength in the Lord Jesus Christ is coming back. Maranatha!
