We need to vote for the best candidates but the real choice is to follow God or continue on our path to judgment. Just changing political parties, economic policy or society's morality will not fix the problem. Our economic crisis and weakened standing in the world is a direct result of our rejection of God. If America decides to bless God then God will bless America and our country will be great again. If America continues in our current path after seeing what happened to Israel, Judah and many other countries that fell, then God will give us a president and others leaders that will bring us into the seven years of Tribulation. As I understand events, this may be our last president and last opportunity to change the direction our country is going. Vote wisely but humbly pray consistently.

The 17th of Tammuz is an infamous day in Jewish history. After forty days on Mt. Sinai, Moses leaves the presence of God and descends to the Hebrew people. He sees the people worshipping the golden calf, gets really angry and throws down the tablets which break into pieces. On this day in 586 BC the Babylonians and in 70 AD the Romans breached the walls of Jerusalem. Three weeks afterward, the city and Jewish temple were destroyed.

Moses turned, and went down from the mount, and the two tables of the testimony were in his hand: the tables were written on both their sides. And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp, that he saw the calf, and the dancing: and Moses' anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and brake them beneath the mount (Exodus 32:15, 19-20).

The 4th of July is an important day in American history. On the 2nd of July, representatives from the thirteen colonies agreed to exit the United Kingdom. On the 4th of July, they accepted the Declaration of Independence. Daniel 7 says the eagle's wings were torn from the lion. We have been celebrating American's independence from Britain for 240 years. In 1776, the 4th of July occurred on the 17th of Tammuz, the day of the golden calf.   

Four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another. The first was like a lion [United Kindom], and had eagle's wings [United States]: I beheld till the wings thereof were torn off (Daniel 7:3-4).

In 2016, the 17th of Tammuz is on the night of the 23rd and day of 24th of July. That occurs between the Republican and Democrat conventions. The November election is framed as a choice between two different people, two different genders, two different political parties and two different directions. The majority of Americans distrust both candidates. We are given a choice between the better of two evils. This is actually a false choice.

If it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom you will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord (Joshua 24:15).
