Recent polls seem to point to a close rematch between Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Joe Biden for the 2024 presidential election, with Donald Trump seeming to have a slight edge:

Two of the most morally flawed figures in American politics … continue to be the top contenders in their respective parties for leader of the free world, a job they’ve each had once already. …

But the once-sturdy assumption that President Biden ultimately beats Donald Trump in a rematch looks shakier as summer escapes and the sidewalks start to crackle with brittle reminders that actual voting is just a few months away. The RCP polling average shows Trump once more (barely) overtaking Biden, and the men are tied in several new head-to-head surveys. This will continue to fluctuate, as polls do, but there is little evidence Biden can build a decisive lead …

Biden is facing a reckoning for not delivering the kind of pandemic recovery he promised, and lists a number of other policy fronts — student loans, guns, prescription-drug prices — where the administration has struggled to make a case for itself. In short: “The case against the former president is self-evident. But a positive argument for Biden’s continued occupancy of the Oval Office remains elusive.”

Then there are the matters of Biden’s possible corruption (highlighted by the newly launched impeachment inquiry), his son’s multifarious misdeeds (highlighted by the recent DOJ indictment), his age, and his incessant lying and fabulizing. The latter habit has gotten so bad that fact-checkers have been forced to break out their instruments, as seen in a particularly brutal CNN segment. Rich Lowry offers a theory here on why Biden continues to exaggerate and worse about his own past. Regardless of motive, Biden’s disregard for plain truth has evidently dented his trustworthiness in the eyes of the public. His age and its effects, too, have become increasingly difficult to ignore and to not view as a liability in the job he seeks to keep. An overwhelming majority of voters, including among Democrats, think he’s too old to seek a second term. 09/22/23 https://www.nationalreview.com/the-weekend-jolt/the-case-for-biden-is-not-self-evident/

Many Democrats feel that Joe Biden is showing too many signs of aging and because of that and his general unpopularity that this may result in Donald Trump winning in 2024 to their general horror.

Various ones have suggested that although Joe Biden says he is running for re-election, by next August he may realize that someone who has a better chance to beat Donald Trump (presuming he is the Republican nominee) or whoever the Republicans run against him.

Republican Senator Ted Cruz has speculated that Michelle Obama could enter the race:

Ted Cruz Claims This Is Who He Thinks Is the ‘Most Likely & Most Dangerous’ Candidate to Replace Joe Biden

September 23, 2023

Because 2023 is just full of surprises, we’re getting another shocking opinion from an unlikely political figure. This time around, former Presidential candidate Ted Cruz is now talking about the upcoming election, specifically who he thinks will “most likely” become US President Joe Biden’s successor.

During a new episode of his podcast entitled Verdict with Ted Cruz via RadarOnline, he said he thinks Michelle Obama will be the successor. https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/ted-cruz-claims-thinks-most-195300290.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly9uZXdzLmdvb2dsZS5jb20v&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAKagYWpdGUUcVQ1fadEpztpSr3ap__uX_kB1stJlrNA31empTsEiZ5XHl0lVNKwKC-pM_7xPPODMHi6MNsxkWVdVJIm3h_xBqsyYAlmvbLHTZQNHpQCcPra0b-YU-inEyuBd1i4m5oGWPxvjIOQZOtnaKBdAJ-BrNCA2OEPK1Pcq

Sen. Cruz Sees Potential for Biden Early Exit in Favor of Michelle Obama

September 22, 2023

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, this week made a bold prediction about President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign.

Put simply, Biden — taking heavy fire over his age, his economic, immigration and foreign policies, and his alleged role in shady family business dealings — will drop out, replaced with former first lady Michelle Obama as Dems’ 2024 standard bearer.

“Here’s the scenario that I think is perhaps most likely and most dangerous,” Cruz said Monday on his “Verdict With Ted Cruz” podcast. “In August of 2024 [at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago], the Democrat kingmakers jettison Joe Biden and parachute in Michelle Obama.” …

Cruz said if Biden’s decline continues by the time of the DNC convention Aug. 19-22 in Chicago and the party decides all of the downsides are really worrying them, “then the convention is the opportunity to parachute someone in” by creating a story that for health reasons, Biden is not able to continue.”

Obama has repeatedly said she has no desire to run for president, but Cruz said, “to parachute in in August of ’24, a couple of months before the [election], and suddenly wake up and be president, it’s not a bad gig at all.”

“Would she do it? I don’t know,” Cruz said. “I’ve met Michelle, but I don’t know her personally in any meaningful way. I don’t know if she would do it, but I do think Barack Obama is already running the Biden administration. I think he is already the puppet master behind this Biden White House. I don’t think Joe Biden is the decision-maker.

“So, when I see the media turning on Joe Biden right now, I think the odds of Michelle Obama parachuting in in August of 2024 have risen dramatically, and that ought to scare the hell out of anyone who is unhappy in the direction this country is going and doesn’t want us to go even crazier in an even worse direction.” https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/ted-cruz-joe-biden-michelle-obama/2023/09/22/id/1135574/

In 1968, Hubert Humphrey was basically picked somewhat at the last minute to be the Democratic party’s presidential nominee. So, a last minute nominee is possible.

If it again happened that way, Michelle Obama would not have to campaign much.

Plus, if she were the candidate, she may say something like she is only reluctantly doing this and that she despises Donald Trump so much that she will not debate him. Michelle Obama probably could get away with an unconventional campaign (like Joe Biden did blaming COVID restrictions) which she may be more comfortable with.

We will see.

Notice something from earlier this month related to the Obamas:

September 7, 2023

Megyn Kelly, claimed this week in an interview on the far-right cable network Newsmax, that Barack and Michelle Obama are really running the country as part of a “shadow puppet situation.” She also said the former first lady isn’t liked by conservatives because she doesn’t “like America.”

But the real reason conservatives hate Michelle is consistent polling popularity (she had a 72 percent approval rating, according to Pew Research, when Barack left office). Even though she’s insisted she isn’t going to run for public office, right-wing outlets remain captivated with fear and rage that she will. https://www.thedailybeast.com/tucker-carlson-megyn-kelly-remain-obsessed-with-the-obamas

Isaiah had warnings for leaders which apply in the last days:

20 Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil (Isaiah 5:20)

16 For the leaders of this people cause them to err, And those who are led by them are destroyed (Isaiah 9:16).

We are seeing political leaders in many lands, including the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand erring by promoting sins that the Bible condemns.

This includes Michelle Obama.

Now, ever since Margaret Thatcher was prime minister of the United Kingdom, I have felt that it is likely that the USA would end up with a female president or at least a highly-influential woman in a top level, federal government job. As it turns out, the four remaining predominantly British-descended nations (the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand) all have had not only queens (they shared the same ones), but all have already had a woman in the office of prime minister (a prime minister is the chief executive official in a parliamentary system of governance). And the USA does have a female vice president (Kamala Harris). We will see if Michelle Obama will run–if so she may well get enough votes to end up as the President of the United States.

As far as voting goes, notice something that international author Doug Casey wrote about it:

March 29, 2019

Democracy is vastly overrated. …

Most of the founders of America were more concerned with liberty than democracy. …

Voting encourages politicians. A vote against one candidate—a major, and quite understandable, reason why many people vote—is always interpreted as a vote for his opponent. And even though you may be voting for the lesser of two evils, the lesser of two evils is still evil. It amounts to giving the candidate a tacit mandate to impose his will on society. https://internationalman.com/articles/5-reasons-not-to-vote/

As far as evil goes, evil is still evil.

Many professing Christians believe that they need to vote even though that concept is not endorsed in the Bible. But the Bible teaches:

2 You shall not follow a crowd to do evil (Exodus 23:2)

The “lesser evil” is still not good.

What should a Christian do?

Jesus said to “seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness” (Matthew 6:33) and to pray for God’s kingdom to come (Matthew 6:10).

As far as political leaders go, the Apostle Paul wrote:

1 Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, 2 for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior (1 Timothy 2:1-3).

Notice that we are to pray for worldly leaders and those that have authority over us so that we may lead a quiet and peaceful life. Nothing like this is said for voting that many falsely claim is their “Christian” duty–prayer for leaders is.

No matter who you may think is better, the lesser of the evils is still evil.

Supporting evil is not the solution for Christians.

Irrespective or what may or may not happen with Joe Biden, neither voting for him or Michelle Obama, or anyone in the Democratic party, nor the Republican party for that matter, will stop the decline of the USA.

Those who are truly part of the Philadelphia remnant will go forward to fulfill Jesus’ commissions in Matthew 24:14 and 28:19-20. They will also support the preparation for the short work of Romans 9:25-28 as well as work to reach the Jews and the full number of Gentiles as recorded in Romans 11:23-25.

We are also to pray for our spiritual leaders. Notice what Jesus taught:

2 The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few; therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest (Luke 10:2).

Notice what Paul taught:

25 Brethren, pray for us (1 Thessalonians 5:25).

1 Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run swiftly and be glorified, just as it is with you, 2 and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men; for not all have faith (2 Thessalonians 3:1-2).

We also are to pray:

14 The will of the Lord be done (Acts 21:14).

Similarly, Jesus taught:

7 And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words. 8 Therefore do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him. 9 In this manner, therefore, pray:

Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. 10 Your kingdom come. Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven (Matthew 6:7-10).

And that, I believe, should be the type of prayer that Christians have about elections and politicians. Followers of the true God are also told to:

5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
6 In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.

7 Do not be wise in your own eyes;
Fear the LORD and depart from evil (Proverbs 3:5-7).

The world is changing–and the USA has no intention to depart from evil.

Trust God.

Repentance is the only thing that could delay the disaster coming to the USA (cf. Daniel 4:27)–but that is not expected.

Without national repentance, the end is coming very soon no matter what party wins the USA 2024 presidential election.

Destruction is coming to the USA–as well as its British-descended allies (UK, Australia, Canada, New Zealand)–and it will be worse than most people will believe.
