Biden Vows To Unite America, Defeat Darkness, and Provide Light After Accepting Democratic Nomination

Last night, Joe Biden formally accepted the Democratic party nomination as its candidate for President of the United States. Here is some of what he said:
The current president’s cloaked American darkness for much too long. …
I will be an ally of the light, not the darkness.
It’s time for us, for we, the people, to come together. And make no mistake. United we can and will overcome this season of darkness in America.
We’ll choose hope over fear. …
I’ll work hard for those who didn’t support me, as hard for them as I did for those who did vote for me. https://www.npr.org/2020/08/20/901380014/fact-check-bidens-address-to-the-dnc-annotated
It is darkness to promote abortion and sexual immorality. Yet those are among things that Joe Biden has pledged to do (see Joe Biden secures Democratic presidential nomination: What are his priorities?).
I have not heard anything from Joe Biden nor his running mate, Kamala Harris, that indicates that they will work for turning the nation much towards biblical values. Hence, I do not believe that they intend to work hard for promoting God’s way of light.
Now, there is a prophecy about light to consider here:
2 The people walking in darkness
have seen a great light;
on those living in the land of the shadow of death
a light has dawned.
3 You have enlarged the nation
and increased their joy;
they rejoice before you
as people rejoice at the harvest,
as men rejoice
when dividing the plunder. (Isaiah 9:2-3)
But, this is not a national prophecy for this time. So, despite what Joe Biden says (or Donald Trump may say) about bringing light, that is not the fulfillment of Isaiah 9. On a national level, that will be after the end of the Great Tribulation.
As far as darkness and light go, in the December 8, 1980 edition of the old Worldwide News, the late Herbert W. Armstrong wrote:
Politicians, be they Democrat or Republican in the USA, have rejected many points of truth.
They are not advocating national repentance from sin, hence are not following biblical admonitions to help turn the nation to the light.
Related to the 2020 campaign, the Continuing Church of God (CCOG) put out the following video on our Bible News Prophecy YouTube channel:
Various politicians have announced their intentions to run for the office of the President of the United States in 2020. ‘Politico’ ran an article about the ‘sorry state’ of various candidates. Some candidates have felt the need to apologize for previous statements in support of biblical marriage and the need to endorse items of the LGBTQ agenda. Many also support abortion and other anti-biblical actions. Are these ‘American values’? Should the English language be changed to eliminate male/female and singular pronouns? Does the Bible warn about female leaders? Does the Bible warn about leaders that lead people to err? What about condoning sexual immortality? Do the presidential contenders fit prophecies warned about in 2 Timothy 3:1-5? These are some of the subjects that Dr. Thiel addresses.
Here is a link to the sermonette video: Sorry state of the 2020 presidential campaign.
As for the Republican Donald Trump, here is a link to my article Donald Trump in Prophecy, which has a lot of information about him and many of his issues.
The 2020 presidential election is featuring those who are against many aspects of biblical morality.
The leading candidates have not taken biblical admonitions about sin and proper ruling seriously enough to turn the nation from its downward and dark path towards the light of God’s truth.
The world in general and the USA in particular needs the Kingdom of God. Not improper assertions from politicians.
While national repentance is not prophesied for this time, personal repentance is still possible–do not put it off if God truly is calling you.
