Read this first to get the context of what I am writing. You will not understand if you don’t.

There is a quote smack-dab in the middle of this which sums up everything about the condition we are in today. At least that is the way I see it. Many will disagree.
“Asleep, the folks will vote for who will send
The largest grift, and programs without end…”
R. Baker Hughes
It is quite easy to blame the evil that others do for the trouble that the world is in today and to profess faith that God will sort it all out…eventually, but that does not excuse anyone from doing what they should be to correct the situation.
I know plenty of people who call themselves Christian, some of them quite close to me. They read their Bibles, they pray, they go to church regularly, they believe God is going to come through for them…and they worship at the altar of a false god as do most others, taking in the benefits which arise from the Statist System which we are mired in, all the while holding out their hand for more. They cannot see the contradiction between what they profess to believe and the worship of the State which they act out in their daily lives.
The Bible warns about swapping the sovereign God for a human ruler. It pulls no punches about what will happen when people place their trust in political power. And, at the end it states in no uncertain terms that God will simply turn a deaf ear to the cries of those affected.
“And you will cry out in that day because of your king WHOM YOU HAVE CHOSEN FOR YOURSELVES, and the Lord will NOT HEAR you in that day.” (emphasis mine.)
1 Samuel 8:18
On the other hand, the cure for this can be seen in one of the most memorized verses in the entire Bible.
“If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS, THEN I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” (Again, emphasis mine.)
2 Chronicles 7:14
There you have it. You can endorse and support the king (political system) you have chosen for yourself (democracy, voting for the lesser of the evils, pledging allegiance to the flag, etc.) and God will continue to ignore your pleas, OR you can turn from your wicked ways and throw yourself completely on His mercy without recourse to the promises of a false god.
Your choice.
Poor Roger's Almanac 
Perhaps our time is just one more opportunity for God to cleanse His Church.
Looking back at this post, I think I didn’t bring out the most important part which is that people tend to have a mystical, magical belief that someone or something else will appear and solve their problems. Christians are just as prone to this as everyone else. However, wishing something does not make it happen. Instead, it takes hard work, resolve and determination, and the willingness to sacrifice for the future.
It is the rare person who is able to make this work. The majority prefer to delude themselves.
