Well they were all there, all the Conservatives who wanted to make sure that their names remained on the list as potential candidates for the Republican Party nomination in 2016. And there were a couple others there. Utah Senator Mike Lee came to help and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie came in to hinder. It was the Iowa Freedom Summit.
Ted Cruz is a good man as is Ben Carson and there were some other true conservative minds there, but it was all politics and all done for show. As I watched these folks smiling and waving my heart sank for as capable as many of them are, and even as some of them know the horrors in Washington D. C. at the present time, they are still unaware of the full extent and the nearness of our total collapse.... not just economic catastrophe or terrorism or war but utter ruin reminiscent of the Old Testament Israel.
If they were aware of this they could not have smiled and strutted their stuff on that political catwalk. If one were aware, he (she) would have spoke low and somber and broke every rule in today's book for presidential wannabees. The mood in the auditorium would have been awkward, applause would have been scant and the press would have skewered them afterwards.
Folks, we are currently under God's judgement. We have foolishly dug a deep grave for our economy awaiting only the blood clot to move to the heart. Most of our leaders are ethically corrupt. We essentially have no law. The Constitution is ignored and our chief law enforcement officer is an ideological sycophant of our Marxist president who is currently....making straight in this desert a highway for our enemies. Our youth, in general, and certainly excluding some and many in our military who somehow escaped the Kool-aid, are an abysmal failure as to discerning the Pied Pipers that lead them around, keeping them uninformed. We are slaves to our entertainments. Our pulpits have substituted pablum for the gospel while most of those who know the gospel refuse to warn, choosing instead to encourage; but Paul prefaced "encourage one another" in 1st Thessalonians 5 with "the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night.....So then, let us not sleep, as others do, but let us keep awake and be sober...". Our educational system is a union first and foremost, and a social engineering tool after that, under the stern discipline of those who have rejected the methods of a once great educational system. Our media....the press...is godless, biased and essentially defunct as a defender of free speech let alone a disseminator of truth in current events.
If we paid attention to God's people in that Old Testament.... if we studied those books as much as we read the latest best selling Christian books, we would know that we are that Israel, we are that Judah; not in some eschatological, connect the dots, revelation of Scripture, but in essence just as any nation that at one time knew its God and then rejected the same. Read these prophets and you will time and time and time again say...."that is us!" How can we escape calamity if God's chosen people did not? God has given America warning after warning, increasing in severity but we cannot see the forest for the trees.
Yes, we need to spend time in discerning which candidates are honest and God-fearing men and women. We have a responsibility to cast our vote. We have talents to bring to this arena but we also need to change this dog and pony show that has evolved even among Conservatives. The first order of business might be to wipe the smiles from our faces, for they indeed will be absent in the very near future unless we, as a nation, prostrate ourselves before God instead of cheering wildly for our candidates.
