Recently we celebrated the Feast of Tabernacles… and in just a few days we will witness a complete contrast to the Feast. The Feast procures a time of peace, unity, abundance for everyone, and the complete presence of God in the world. In contrast to this… we are in a time of conflict, divisiveness, winners and losers, where God’s name is only used as a “token” to appeal to a certain group of religious people… we call this the presidential election of 2016! How is it that out of a nation of 319 million people… these two are the primary choices that Americans have? As once commentator stated, “The choice is between a crook or a creep.” The truth is that no matter who wins on Tuesday… the real loser is humanity because all it will achieve is the delusion that human-kind can rule itself effectively without God. Let’s go beyond the political soundbites and see what really needs to happen for this world to finally have equality, justice, universal education… for everyone to achieve good health, personal fulfillment and wealth.
