Scripture clearly states that God is in charge of the universe. Throughout the centuries, God has selected judges, prophets and kings for particular reasons. There have been times when God made nations very prosperous. Other times, He brought famine and draught. Jesus told us there would be a time when believers would meet Jesus in the air. No one knows when that day will occur. However, Jesus told us there would be signs that would give us a clue.

I Thessalonians 4:16 – 17 – “ For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.”

Mark 13:28 – 31 – “Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that it is near, right at the door. Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.”

Beginning with Genesis God said the sun, stars and the moon will be signs. God has used all three to prepare us for some spectacular supernatural event to happen during the past 1,000s of years. These past six years, America has declined in almost every area. Is it time for God to give us a sign providing a warning?

Here are some of my concerns. The national debt continues to climb. Are we getting to the point it can never be repaid. Are foreign countries and American investors no longer willing to loan the U.S. money and stop buying our bonds? The Congressional Budget Office says our debt threatens to send U.S. economy into a death spiral. There is no way the Federal Reserve can just start printing money to make up for what our government needs to continue operating as normal. If the bond or stock market goes down as it has done before, millions of retirees would be in worse shape. What if federal agencies put a hold or reduce the amounts for food stamps, Medicare, Medicaid and social security? The thing that makes me frustrated is it does not have to happen. However, if something is not done in Washington, D.C. to change their many unnecessary restrictions and policies something bad is possible to happen.

You have no idea how much I want to believe this will not happen. But, we have politicians that are living in a fantasy land. I understand, that many of you will disagree with me but, I want you to understand why I am making recommendations that everyone should be prepared as we get closer to this fall. I have written about the forth blood moon will be September 28, 2015. The next sign could be 2017, the year of Jubilee.

Why do I provide the above information? As I listened to Trump’s speech, who I do not endorse, running for president provided many of the things that need to be done to make America strong again. If we get another four years of the present policies being delivered by Mrs. Clinton or Bernie Sanders, America could end up as a third world country, completely broke, in a depression.

Since I believe God has a plan, whoever is elected president could determine how long before Christ returns as He has predicted, to take the believers to heaven with Him. The Antichrist takes over and the Tribulation begins. At the end of those seven years, is the War of Armageddon and Christ returns to rule for 1000 years. When America is no longer militarily powerful enough to cause peace in the world, Satan takes over. How long that will be is up to God. Who is elected president, may give us a sign as to how long before the church age ends.
