There is a difference between understanding that God is in control at all times, and understanding what might be coming to this country. Remember, God was in control when the Israelites were carried off into slavery, and He was also in control when they were hunted down to be exterminated by Nazi's. God's plan isn't always warm fuzzies towards his people. Sometimes he does things to get their attention and to turn their hearts back to Him. Sometimes, for His glory to be realized, his people need to be facing the impossible and rock bottom situations to recognize it.
The Apostles brought Glory to God - and still were crucified, boiled in oil, imprisoned, beheaded, stoned. Noah was saved from the flood, but it doesnt mean he didnt watch people he knew drown. God instructed Joseph to prepare a nation for famine, but that doesnt mean he didnt see others starve to death or that they were easy daily decisions.
Most believe we are in the End Times and the Rapture and Tribulation beginnings are not too far off. If that is true, and GODS PLAN is in motion, it may not be the GOOD that are being maneuvered into place, but the BAD. If the Trib isnt too far off on the timeline, that means that the AC is alive and already moving in political circles to get noticed and rise to power. Gog and Magog are already plotting and scheming - with a hook in their mouth. Therefore it isn't out of the realm of possibilities that the outcome of this election is bad for Christians as the players are being moved onto stage for the curtain to go up on the Tribulation.
I truly believe that God will remove His people with the Rapture before things get unimaginable, but I also believe that it doesnt mean we will be surrounded by lollipops and unicorn bubbles until the moment we leave. We WILL see evil and destruction begin at levels we havent imagined. This may be the stage being set.
So because I know He is in control, whatever the outcome, it is as it is meant to be - good or bad. I dont have to like it, but I do recognize that there is a higher plan that is in motion. Not MY will, but His.
