It is obvious that President Clinton is an adulterer, dishonest, and generally immoral. According to God’s Word we should continue to respect him as a leader, pray for him, and trust in the sovereignty of God (Romans 13:1-7, Titus 3:1-2, 1 Peter 2:13-20, 1 Timothy 2:1-2).
Those who defend him and support him as a leader are promoting an ungodly ruler who is in rebellion against God. If you want to begin to understand President Clinton’s true “vision” for his country and the World System, check out a copy of Tragedy and Hope (1966) by Carroll Quigley, from your local library system.
Carroll Quigley was President Clinton’s professor at Georgetown University. Clinton said, in his first nomination acceptance speech, that Mr. Quigley clarified his “vision”, naming him by name. (See Nation ID Numbers.)
It is important to realize, however, that those who are campaigning for President Clinton’s ouster are not necessarily the “Good Guys”. This is yet another case in which Satan is working both sides of a worldly conflict. There are enemies of God on both sides. Realize that if you are not a child of God you are an enemy of God (Be Reconciled with God).
Often times you hear religious leaders refer to John the Baptist in justifying the crusades against immoral political leaders. But it is one thing to rebuke a leader for immorality (Mark 6:17-28), and quite another thing to yoke with worldly political agendas to oust a political leader. There is no indication that John the Baptist ever became a political activist to try to get a new Tetrarch. (See Political Action – Social Activism)
Followers of Jesus in these last days must step out of these worldly polarizations. We must realize that this World System is under the control of the evil one (1 John 5:19); that the rulers of this world are in rebellion against God (Psalm 2:2). We must realize that our hope is not in a “moral” political leader. “Moral” conservative Republicans will continue to lead us into the New World Order system of the Counterfeit Christ just as assuredly as a licentious liberal democrat. We ought to look to the New Testament for our calling and our purpose, realizing that our citizenship is in heaven (John 18:36, Philippians 3:20), not in this pagan World System.
