Mitt Romney to Speak before Evangelical University, But…

Mitt Romney (Gage Skidmore, 2011)

US presidential candidate Mitt Romney is planning to speak before an evangelical university:

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney is set to deliver this year’s commencement address at Liberty University, the evangelical Christian institution founded by the late televangelist Jerry Falwell Sr.

Romney, a Mormon, has never before visited the Lynchburg, Va., college.

The university announced news of the May 12 commencement address on Thursday. http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5iLjIuBKpHwEuvfA8Gdn4iHZcDV3A?docId=20f7252ffec04d5d9e4bc7961b1dd867

Historically, it would seem that a Mormon would have difficulties before a Protestant evangelical group, but perhaps because of Protestant and Christian concerns about US President Barack Obama’s faith (see Franklin Graham on Obama’s ‘Christianity’), the evangelicals may be more predisposed to overlook the fact that most consider of them seem to consider that Mormons are an odd cult. If evangelicals decide to support Mitt Romney, they should realize that no human political leader is going be able to fix what is truly wrong with the USA.

(It may be of side interest to note, that although he was an evangelical Protestant, Jerry Falwell, founder of Liberty University, did not believe in a Good Friday crucifixion followed by an Easter Sunday resurrection. He believed, more correctly, in Wednesday crucifixion followed by a Saturday resurrection, for more details, see What Happened in the Crucifixion Week?)

While I do not intend to endorse any USA presidential candidate (see Should a Christian Vote?), whether Barack Obama gets re-elected or Mitt Romney gets elected US president, I do not believe that either are likely to call for the type of national repentance that the USA needs. And without that repentance, the USA is doomed to be taken over from a European/Assyrian power, also known as the King of the North:

5… the Assyrian shall be his king, Because they refused to repent. 6 And the sword shall slash in his cities, Devour his districts, And consume them, Because of their own counsels. 7 My people are bent on backsliding from Me. Though they call to the Most High, None at all exalt Him. (Hosea 11:5-7)

39 Thus he shall act against the strongest fortresses with a foreign god, which he shall acknowledge, and advance its glory; and he shall cause them to rule over many, and divide the land for gain…the king of the North (Daniel 11:39-40)

The time for repentance of the Anglo-American nations is now as the proverbial handwriting is now on the wall (Daniel 5:26)–the USA presidential election, nor the current elections in France and elsewhere will not change that.

But what if the Angl0-nations (like Hosea 11:5 indicates) will not repent?

Does this mean that you are doomed if you live in one of them?

No, not necessarily. God does not require “group salvation.” The Apostle Paul wrote:

…work out your own salvation with fear and trembling… (Philippians 2:12)

Thus, your personal relationship with God is not determined by what your fellow countrymen do.

Can, will, God help you during the coming tribulation?

Notice the prophecy for this latter time tribulation in the Hebrew scriptures:

29 But from there you will seek the Lord your God, and you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul. 30 When you are in distress, and all these things come upon you in the latter days, when you turn to the Lord your God and obey His voice 31 (for the Lord your God is a merciful God), He will not forsake you nor destroy you, nor forget the covenant of your fathers which He swore to them. (Deuteronomy 4:29-31)

Thus, help from God during these hard times will be available to the truly sincere who really strive for it. Also notice what God’s word promises the faithful Philadelphia, though not all other, Christians:

10 Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth. (Revelation 3:10)

13 Now when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male Child. 14 But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent. 15 So the serpent spewed water out of his mouth like a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood. 16 But the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the flood which the dragon had spewed out of his mouth. 17 And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. (Revelation 12:13-17)

So, there is a way of escape, and it does not depend upon who wins the USA (French or other) presidential election. But for each individual, that way does depend upon what you actually believe and what you actually do.
