When God Has A Bad Year

bizarroThings aren’t looking particularly good for humanity. To hear many of my friends and family talk, this could be the end. If certain things don’t change, if particular people aren’t elected, we are finished. It’s over and done with. Heck, even my minister friends are predicting the end of the world as we know it if America doesn’t get this election right. This could even be the final election, they say, if the candidate of their choosing doesn’t win.

Why such gloom and doom, even among so-called “Believers”? Well, the answer is obvious. You see, God seems to be having a bad year. In fact, it appears He is coming off several bad years. Obama was elected twice, the economy has been sputtering, the Muslim population is growing, the threat of ISIS is expanding, all around us is nothing but violence, chaos and hopelessness. “The world is falling apart”, they say. Clearly, God is on a losing streak and needs our help to get things back on track.

This is not the first time the Heavenly Father has been at the center of some questionable decisions.

In the days of Noah, He let things get so bad, He ended up destroying everything except Noah, his family and a few animals. That was a very bad time for God.

Around 1446 BC He allowed a tyrant in Egypt, the Pharaoh, to turn His own followers into slaves and endure incredible hardship. Another bad period for God.

Again, about 600 BC, God fell asleep at the wheel and allowed Nebuchadnezzar to become King of Judah. This was the guy who tossed some of His most faithful followers into a furnace.

The years around the era of Jesus and his followers were some of the worse for God. I mean it was one horrible ruler after another. Herod, Pontius Pilate, Augustus and Tiberius Caesar, and Nero, to name a few. These lunatics fed Christians to lions for sport. Surely had God been paying attention none of this would have transpired.

More recently, the 1930’s and 40’s were not good years for God. Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Tojo. Throw in the Great Depression, Pearl Harbor, The Holocaust, WWII. What could He have been thinking anyway?

In all the previous situations I have mentioned, eventually God righted the ship. History would record, even though things were very bad for a few years, God was able to get things back on track. That was, until now!

This time, God clearly needs our help. Maybe He’s just worn out from all the comebacks He’s had to make through the centuries. After all these years, He probably doesn’t have the patience or the attention span needed to deal with the world’s complex problems. Maybe He’s just lost interest. After all, his long-awaited return to rescue us from this mess, which we predicted long ago, is clearly overdue. Now, things have spiraled out of His control.

This is where we come to the rescue! WE, His most fervent worshipers, must jump in and help Him immediately! Before it’s too late! There is no time to waste! The survival of the Republic, and the world, now depends on US. Only WE can save it from extinction. No way God would have EVER intended for things to be such disarray, so we must act and act now! Time is of the essence!
