Chapter 4 – U.S. President’s roles in Prophecy
We stand today at a unique and extraordinary moment.
The crisis in the Persian Gulf, as grave as it is, also offers
a rare opportunity to move toward an historic period of
cooperation. Out of these troubled times, our fifth
objective — a new world order — can emerge: a new
era! . . . George H.W. Bush's speech before a joint
session of Congress on Sept. 11, 1990
Prelude: The Bible is replete with paradigms (patterns
and templates), established in ancient days which are
manifested throughout Scripture and even in current
times. A study of these paradigms can even foretell
future events. In effect, they can serve as prophecy. In
this chapter, we will reference a few of these ancient
templates to not only highlight their current day
manifestations, but to demonstrate the absolute
authority of Scripture and the sovereignty of ALMIGHTY
GOD. Any correspondence between ancient Biblical and
current day personalities is purely scriptural and not a
matter of politics - even though their manifestations
occur in the political arena. Neither are they a vehicle of
derision or judgment. Remember, our enemies are not
the perpetrators of acts contrary to Biblical virtues:
Ephesians 6:12 confirms this: “For we wrestle not
against flesh and blood, but against principalities,
against powers, against the rulers of darkness of this
world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
