Well, the Lord rarely intervenes in our world’s politics and hasn’t for centuries since the rain and sun falls on the just an unjust alike. Too bad too. Obama is full out attacking investors, capitalism, free enterprise to supposedly give our monies to the non-productive. And I see no one stopping him. Surely not the GOP because they do not have enough votes unless they can get the Blue Dogs to help them stop this budget today as we write. Today, BHO is going to destroy our health care system. And no Godly intervention. I simply now pray for Jesus to return!

Basically God is taking a hands-off policy toward man right now, in general. Ponder this...

I saw under the altar the souls
of them that were slain for the word of God,
and for the testimony which they held:
And they cried with a loud voice, saying,
How long, O Lord, holy and true,
dost thou not judge and avenge our blood
on them that dwell on the earth?
And white robes were given unto every one of them;
and it was said unto them,
that they should rest yet for a little season,
until their fellowservants also and their brethren,
that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.

Also ponder this...

If they shall confess their iniquity,
and the iniquity of their fathers,
with their trespass which they trespassed against me,
and that also they have walked contrary unto me;
And that I also have walked contrary unto them,
and have brought them into the land of their enemies;
if then their uncircumcised hearts be humbled,
and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity:
Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob,
and also my covenant with Isaac,
and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember;
and I will remember the land.
The land also shall be left of them,
and shall enjoy her sabbaths,
while she lieth desolate without them:
and they shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity:
because, even because they despised my judgments,
and because their soul abhorred my statutes.
And yet for all that,
when they be in the land of their enemies,
I will not cast them away,
neither will I abhor them,
to destroy them utterly,
and to break my covenant with them:
for I am the LORD their God.
But I will for their sakes
remember the covenant of their ancestors,
whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt
in the sight of the heathen,
that I might be their God:
I am the LORD.
