As the next round of elections draw near, I've noticed many are not gearing up to cast their ballot. There seem to be two prevailing reasons for this trend away from voting. First and foremost, many have recognized America is not a G-dly nation. This leaves us to recognize this country to be one of three things. America is either an extension and continuation of ancient Rome or a part of Babylon. I believe the feet of iron mixed with clay referenced in Daniel will be the Babylon mentioned in the Revelation. So, if America doesn't fit in that description for the end of days, America is the harlot of Babylon.
Regardless of those options, believers do not want to be an active participant in something G-d is against.
The second reason I'm hearing is perhaps related to the first reason for many, and for some, it's just become a glaring fact of life. The so called elected representatives, represent their own best interest which appears to be lining their pockets and the people truly do not have representation. The bottom line is many do not believe the election process is on the up and up.
We're not dropping out though, and we're not going underground. We are voicing our ideas, our thoughts, and sharing what we are doing that is working. I, for one, am not going to spend any more valuable energy on something that won't work. I used to really believe that change could come through Washington DC. I won't say change hasn't come, but I don't care for the change that has arrived. Since I didn't care for it last administration, or the one before that, I've now realized I can't vote in the change I want.
I can pray, and I can live the change I want in myself. When I think of the impact twelve men without political power made in this world nearly 2000 years ago, I feel that same purpose and method is where my energy would be better spent. They had no lobby, they had no political connections, and there's no record of building funds or private ships, but they stood before leaders.
