(November 9, 2008) Someone recently asked me if Barack Obama would become a player in End-Times events. My overriding concern for whoever becomes President of the United States is what is God’s will for this country. The Bible makes it clear that it is God who raises up rulers and causes them to fall: “20 Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his: 21 And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding.” (Daniel 2:20-21) With this in mind there are two things that stand out to me about 2008 election…

The interpretation of this scripture passage is disputed by various factions of prophecy students. The study of bible prophecy consists of three main schools of thought: Preterist, Historicist, and Futurist. Preterists essentially believe that the biblical prophecies that relate to an apocalyptic scenario were fulfilled in the First Century A.D. Historicists believe that bible prophecy has been/is being/will be fulfilled throughout history. Futurists believe that most apocalyptic prophecies will be fulfilled in the future. This site looks at prophecy from a futurist point of view.
Does this passage in Thessalonians speak of a rebuilt third Temple or was the apostle Paul referring to the Roman’s destruction of the second (i.e. Herod’s Temple) in 70 A.D.?

(Everything seemingly is spinning out of control) They write, “Midwestern levees are bursting. Polar bears are adrift. Gas prices are skyrocketing. Home values are abysmal.
