Thank you for sharing.  I found Jerry Goldman's comments about the USA and President Bush very unsettling because I have been having the same thoughts and have been coming to similar conclusions.
 
I believe Bush is a Christian.  And at one time, I believe he actively sought God's will in his decision making.  But at some point, and I can't say exactly when, I began to get the sense he is anchorless and is going whichever way the wind blows.  Does he have a personal agenda?   I don't know.  I know that power changes the way people act and think.  That may be part of the answer.  And he feels beset by enemies on every hand.  Another part of the issues.
 
I see us moving rapidly toward one-world government.  I watch as we betray our greatest ally, Israel.  We are moving down the path of self destruction and I don't see any leadership or signs of strong enough leadership to halt our free fall.
 
All I know to do is to pray for peace in Jerusalem and for Israel, for Christian leadership in the USA, for protection of our people from those within and without who want to harm and to kill us, and for the Raptue.
 
Come now, Lord Jesus.
