In Chapter 3, we explained in depth how this law began
            to  lead  many  churches  to  speak  cautiously  and  even
            keep silent during election seasons.  This law effectively
            mandated that churches refrain from endorsing political
            candidates  or  engage  in  practices  that  could  be

            construed  as  politically  activism.    As  a  result,  many
            churches  now  shy  away  from  proclaiming  bold  and
            sound Biblical doctrine - in effect silencing their voices.
            Soon  secular  groups  exploited  this  law;  the  term
            “Separation  of  Church  and  State”  became  their  lever.
            Churches  that  embraced  these  false  precepts  began
            their slide into apostasy as they increasingly abandoned
            their bold teachings of true Biblical doctrine and yielded

            to  “political  correctness”.    Critically  important  Biblical
            mandates on issues such as sanctity of life, family, and
            sexuality  were  increasingly  ignored,  or  at  best  timidly
            taught.    Johnson’s  amendment  became  the  lever  that
            led  many  politicians  to  further  extremes.  Such  has
            progressed to the levels that many political figures now

            seek to subjugate religious liberties and regulate church
            teachings  on  such  matters  as  “Choice,  Sexual  Liberty,
            and even Climate.”  In their view, religious conscience is
            unlawful in America    [9-12, 59 and 61] .


            Prophetic  impacts  while  standing  aside  –  Throughout
            the Johnson Presidency, major ancient prophecies that
            marked  milestones  for  Biblically  prophetic  timelines
            were fulfilled (see Table below).  GOD was continuing to
            restore  Israel  to  its  full  glory,  just  as  HE  had  long
            promised  (Is.  49:14-23).    Yet,  in  stark  contrast  to
            President  Truman  who  played  pivotal  roles,  President
