The USA Presidential Elections 2

You will notice that I have titled this post so as to continue with what I wrote 2 posts ago.

America has been going to the polls over the past week or so and today will be the big day as everyone else who did not participate in the absentee vote will get to do so in person at the booths. So after two years of campaigning, who will emerge the winner?

Ultimately a lot more hangs on to this election compared to what happened in previous elections. After 8 years of the Bush Administration, Americans want a change and for sure they will get what they want because both McCain and Obama had expressly said so; McCain is not George Bush and therefore his policies will definitely be different but are Americans prepared to test him? or are they so set to have an African American as their Commander-in-chief and immediately get thrown into the deep end with an international crisis which I am not sure whether he can handle it well?

Tomorrow will be the day of reckoning and I do believe it will be a rather explosive day - if McCain wins because voters are not prepared to have a black president, there might be emotional turmoil and bloodletting; if Obama wins, the Republicans will be thoroughly dejected and they will have lost a valuable voice in government - already the Democrats control the Senate and the House of Congress - and the next four years will be rather turbulent years not just for USA but the world at large. Terrorism and rogue state actions will rear their ugly heads again.

So what would I be doing in the light of these developments? Life goes on regardless of whoever the new President of USA will be and we will be one day nearer to the Lord's Return for the Church (referred to by Christians as The Rapture). The wheels had already been set to motion and nothing can turn it back. Are you ready for that Day of the Lord? I know I am.
