Canada elected Justin Trudeau as its next prime minister:

October 20, 2015

Justin Trudeau will become Canada’s next prime minister after leading his Liberal Party to a commanding victory in Tuesday’s parliamentary elections.

Results provided by Canada’s election commission show the Liberals winning 184 seats in the 338-seat Parliament, compared to the 99 seats won by outgoing Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s Conservative Party.

The left-leaning New Democratic Party, once considered the front-running party early in the 11-week campaign, finished a distant third with 44 seats.

Trudeau claimed victory before a crowd of cheering supporters in Montreal late Monday night, saying the campaign proved “this is what positive politics can do” and that he hoped it will serve as “an inspiration to like-minded people to step up and pitch in.” …

Trudeau campaigned on a platform of raising taxes on Canada’s richest citizens, increasing spending on infrastructure to boost the economy and improving relations with the United States.

University of Toronto political scientist Peter Loewen says his polling suggests there is support for such a platform.

“There is majority support for raising taxes on the wealthy. It depends on how you define wealthy, of course, and there is not a huge aversion to deficits as there was before in Canada,” Loewen said. “That was believed to be orthodoxy in Canada; you couldn’t win if you weren’t running on balanced budgets. Justin Trudeau appears to have proved that to be wrong.” http://www.voanews.com/content/justin-trudeau-to-become-new-canadian-pm/3014831.html

October 20, 2015

Justin Trudeau ended nearly a decade of Conservative rule in Canada when his Liberal Party secured 54 percent of the country’s seats in Monday’s federal election. Stephen Harper, the outgoing Conservative prime minister, had sought to reverse Canada’s image as a liberal haven during his time in office by cutting corporate taxes and engaging in what opponents said was a damaging environmental policy.

By contrast, Trudeau has pledged to attend the United Nations climate conference in Paris in November and to introduce a national plan for combating climate change within 90 days of that summit.

The 43-year-old is pro-choice, proudly declares himself a feminist, and says he would work to legalize marijuana “right away” based on the system used in Colorado. He has also pledged to “end tax breaks for the wealthy, to give Canadian families more money to raise their children.” …

However, his most striking career sojourn came in 2012 when he brawled his way to victory over Canadian Conservative Sen. Patrick Brazeau in a charity boxing match. … “As far as anyone knows, Justin could become the first prime minister with a tattoo,” wrote Canada’s Global News. Trudeau’s foray into the boxing ring revealed inky artwork on his upper left arm. … http://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/meet-justin-trudeau-canadas-liberal-boxing-strip-teasing-new-pm-n447636

He could end Canada’s air campaign against IS

During the election campaign, Mr Trudeau indicated he would withdraw Canada’s CF-18 bombers from the coalition mission against Islamic State militants in Iraq and Syria. …

He wants to welcome more Syrian refugees …

He will aim to smooth relations with Iran Stephen Harper’s government cut diplomatic ties with Iran in 2012, closing the Canadian Embassy in Tehran and expelling Iranian diplomats from Canada. Justin Trudeau has said he plans to restore relations between the two nations, in the wake of the Iranian nuclear deal. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-34580420

So, the tattooed Justin Trudeau wants to raise taxes, increase deficit spending, support abortion, support the UN’s climate change agenda, legalize marijuana, increase alien migration into his nation, support the Iranian deal even though the Iranians are tied to terrorism, and get better relations with the USA. As far as relations with the USA go, my personal experience has always been that Canadians and those from the USA tend to get along. My wife and I were in Canada at the Feast of Tabernacles earlier this month (see Feast of Tabernacles’ Sites for 2015) and again confirmed ties between the Canadians and those from the USA.

But, of course, promoting tattoos, covetousness, abortion, debt, and marijuana, that Justin Trudeau does, is opposed to the Bible.

As far as aliens and disobedience goes, the Bible warns:

43 “The alien who is among you shall rise higher and higher above you, and you shall come down lower and lower. 44 He shall lend to you, but you shall not lend to him; he shall be the head, and you shall be the tail.

45 “Moreover all these curses shall come upon you and pursue and overtake you, until you are destroyed, because you did not obey the voice of the Lord your God, to keep His commandments and His statutes which He commanded you. 46 And they shall be upon you for a sign and a wonder, and on your descendants forever.

47 “Because you did not serve the Lord your God with joy and gladness of heart, for the abundance of everything, 48 therefore you shall serve your enemies, whom the Lord will send against you, in hunger, in thirst, in nakedness, and in need of everything; and He will put a yoke of iron on your neck until He has destroyed you. 49 The Lord will bring a nation against you from afar, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flies, a nation whose language you will not understand, 50 a nation of fierce countenance, which does not respect the elderly nor show favor to the young. 51 And they shall eat the increase of your livestock and the produce of your land, until you are destroyed; they shall not leave you grain or new wine or oil, or the increase of your cattle or the offspring of your flocks, until they have destroyed you. (Deuteronomy 28:43-51)

Because of current and expected future ties to the USA, Canada is expected to suffer basically the same fate as the USA–it will be taken over and its lands will be divided as that is what the Bible shows will happen to the USA in Daniel 11:39. The Bible also prophesies terrorism (Deuteronomy 32:25; Ezekiel 21:12; Psalms 73:12,19; Proverbs 1:25-27; Ecclesiastes 12:5) and Canada will be affected by that as well.

While people will claim that the world likes Canada, and it has many friends, notice the following:

1 How lonely sits the city
That was full of people!
How like a widow is she,
Who was great among the nations!
The princess among the provinces
Has become a slave!

2 She weeps bitterly in the night,
Her tears are on her cheeks;
Among all her lovers
She has none to comfort her.
All her friends have dealt treacherously with her;
They have become her enemies. (Lamentations 1:1-2)

The USA and Canada (including the other Anglo-Commonwealth nations) were “great among the nations.” And the Bible is clear that betrayal is coming from national FRIENDS!

The late Herber t W. Armstrong made it clear in his later years that he believed that the King of the North (the one mentioned in Daniel 11:40-41 which is the same one who places the abomination mentioned in Daniel 11:31) would destroy the Canadian, British, and American peoples. Notice some of what he wrote about that in 1979:

The indication is the armies of the “beast” of Revelation 17, entering Jerusalem (Dan 11:41, Zech. 14:2), will stop this “daily sacrifice”…And the abomination that maketh desolate set up.” What is this abomination? This refers to Daniel 11:31 and Matthew 24:15…From this time (Daniel 12:11) to Christ’s coming will be 1290 days. Now, verse 12, “Blessed is he that waiteth, and comes to the 1335 days.” Never before have we understood these periods of 1260, 1290. and 1335 days. But it seems evident, now, a blessing is pronounced on us–GOD”S CHURCH–who wait and endure until the 1335 days–approximately 1335 days prior to Christ’s coming. But since no one can know the day or hour of His coming, we probably shall not be able to know the exact day this 1335 days begins. But apparently that is the time when OUR WORK SHALL END. That will be a time when the UNITED Europe shall appear–the revival of the medieval “Holy Roman Empire.” We shall then be warned, and readied to be taken to a place of refuge and safety from the Great Tribulation. Forty-five days later “the beast’s armies” will surround Jerusalem. Thirty days later the Great Tribulation will probably start with a nuclear attack on London and Britain–and possibly the same day or immediately after, on the United States and Canadian cities. The GREAT TRIBULATION, we shall fully then realize, is the time of “Jacob’s Trouble,” spoken of in Jeremiah 30:7. And Jacob’s name was named on Joseph’s sons, Ephraim and Manasseh (Gen. 48:16). At that time a third of the people in our nations will die, or shall have died, by famine and disease epidemics; another third will dies of the war–our cities being destroyed (Ezek. 6:6), and the remaining third will be carried to the land of our enemies as slaves (Ezek. 5:12). Armstrong, Herbert W. The Time We Are In, Now. Pastor General’s Report-Vol 1, No. 15, November 20, 1979, Page 2).

The Bible prophecies the destruction of the cities, after the military (“horses cut off” and “destroy your chariots” below) has problems:

10 “And it shall be in that day,” says the LORD,
“That I will cut off your horses from your midst
And destroy your chariots.
11 I will cut off the cities of your land
And throw down all your strongholds.
12 I will cut off sorceries from your hand,
And you shall have no soothsayers.
13 Your carved images I will also cut off,
And your sacred pillars from your midst;
You shall no more worship the work of your hands;
14 I will pluck your wooden images from your midst;
Thus I will destroy your cities.
15 And I will execute vengeance in anger and fury
On the nations that have not heard.” (Micah 5:10-15).

City destruction will happen. Canada’s major military ally is the USA and the USA is in the process of downsizing its military. Thus, the steps that proceed the destruction of cities is starting to take place now.

The Bible also prophecies captivity (see also Will the Anglo-Saxon Nations be Divided and Have People Taken as Slaves?):

36’And as for those of you who are left, I will send faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; the sound of a shaken leaf shall cause them to flee; they shall flee as though fleeing from a sword, and they shall fall when no one pursues. 37 They shall stumble over one another, as it were before a sword, when no one pursues; and you shall have no power to stand before your enemies. 38 You shall perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up. 39 And those of you who are left shall waste away in their iniquity in your enemies’ lands; also in their fathers’ iniquities, which are with them, they shall waste away.
40’But if they confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their fathers, with their unfaithfulness in which they were unfaithful to Me, and that they also have walked contrary to Me, 41 and that I also have walked contrary to them and have brought them into the land of their enemies; if their uncircumcised hearts are humbled, and they accept their guilt– 42 then I will remember My covenant with Jacob, and My covenant with Isaac and My covenant with Abraham I will remember; I will remember the land. 43 The land also shall be left empty by them, and will enjoy its sabbaths while it lies desolate without them; they will accept their guilt, because they despised My judgments and because their soul abhorred My statutes (Leviticus 26:36-43).

Slavery will affect many of the Canadians that survive. But the Bible also shows that ultimately God will be merciful to those who were allowed to be captured:

44 Yet for all that, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away, nor shall I abhor them, to utterly destroy them and break My covenant with them; for I am the LORD their God. 45 But for their sake I will remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, that I might be their God: I am the LORD’ ” (Leviticus 26:44-45).

The Bible shows:

30 God…commands all men everywhere to repent (Acts 17:30)

Canadians should not ignore the Bible nor should its leader promote positions that are opposed to the Bible.
