Gino, There is no paradox here. PRAYER & FASTING do change things. It is possible that B.O. could be defeated in this election, because he may ultimately end up taking over the reigns of the U.N. or over the new Muslim Brotherhood CALIPHATE that is being set up right now. We have no idea how long BEFORE he is publicly revealed as the AC. It could be 5 or 10 years away. In the meantime, the best move for the U.S. is to get him OUT OF HERE! If God has a 5 or 10 year time frame yet BEFORE THE RAPTURE occurs, then the AC won't be revealed to the masses for a couple of years yet. If that is the case, we could still have another few years for spreading the gospel!  I pray for God's mercy, but I am also praying for the rapture!!! I'd much sooner see the rapture take place THIS YEAR, but we have no way of knowing when it will occur. When God says "soon", SOON to Him could be 5 or 10 years away, because with Him, TIME is irrelevant!!! He said "I come quickly" in the Bible and that was 2000 years ago. A thousand years to Him is like ONE DAY.
