There is going to be things that happen to bring us closer to the end time.
Just look at the controversy just in this campaign this year. First you have the ministers
for one of the Democratic runners, causing a international stir for his comments against
the very country he and his congragation live in. How could this not affect the election if
the one he was minister to was elected into office, and had not distanced himself form this

minister. The thought of how he would influenced the individual, on world policy would be scary to say the least.
We as christians need to keep a closer eye on the political realm now then in
previous years. As the campaign goes on till the next election we need to realize that things
are so much different now then even twenty years ago. The candidates are watched more closely
now, due to so many more avenues to find information on them and their beliefs. How the candidates work everyday to keep things from coming to light, then when they do they make public apologies , thinking this will change the minds of the voters.
Reading the book of Revelations, we can see that this is just what the verses refer to as the false ones and trying to establish one power. There is already one currency in Europe and now they want a world currency. The leaders of this and other countries, do not ask for input from the religious leaders as they used to. and from what has been said by some of this countries well known ministers, I can see why. We as christains need to make it known that we do not agree with these ideas, they are not the teachings of the 'word.
By not consulting the word, talking to the people , or by finding a religious confidant that actually follows the word, they who ever gets elected , will bring about end time predictions. Done so by selfish rasons, default or just plain ignorance. Christians need to keep them in check and let them know when they are close to bringing about these events. If we want to live in a world of peace and keep international relationships on a good footing, we need to really think about the candidates and how they are going to handle all the situations that will be coming up in their reign as president and are they going to lead us into the final days with no idea of how to handle the things the word predicted.
The end of times is something that is going to happen when it is due to and there is no one, or nothing that is going to stop it, but we need leaders who, will be able to recognize the signs the word gave us and to not instigate the precipates of it. The world leaders need to knwo how to prepare their citizens for the end when the time comes and help each other in events that will set it into action.
So christains need to stand and unite in keeping those who we elect in check and know they are ready to help any one in need .We need to be ready to face some of the events of the end of times if this campaign and the candidates and their ministeral friendships are any indication.
