You Were Chosen to Be Born for This Time!

And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their habitation...Acts 17:24

Our heavenly Father determined long ago when and where each of us would be born, and He appointed each one of us to this very time. We are living in the end times, and we could very well have the antichrist at the helm, and our Lord chose this time for us!

Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour...1 John 2:18

Whether Obama is THE Antichrist or not, he is certainly an antichrist, as he is hailed all over the world as the "the One", a political messiah who will heal us, and Hollywood stars are pledging allegiance to the man himself and asking us to do likewise. And how do we really know a man? Jesus told us in Matthew 7:20, we would know him by his fruits. Even if you choose to disregard everything he has done and said before, Obama gave us fruit we can observe as President his first week. Whereas our Lord warned about hands full of blood that reach out to Him and of land polluted with innocent shed blood that cries out to Him, Obama, in one of his very first acts as President, opened the floodgates of murder to millions of innocent babies worldwide, and many as part of forced population control, with his repealing of the Mexico City Policy. Seems like a pretty blatant ANTI-messiah act to me!

As Mordecai told Esther in the Old Testament book bearing her name, "who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?"

Have we come to our respective kingdoms at this particular time for such a time as this? What an awesome thought! And what responsibility! What will we do with this time He appointed for us? Well, for one thing, the scripture in Acts above doesn't end there. It continues in verses 25 and 26 with...That they should seek the Lord, if perhaps they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from every one of us; for in Him we live and move and have our being...

He created us now to seek after Him, GROPE after Him, "for in Him we live and move and have our being", and furthermore it continues in the same verse, "for we are...His offspring". And as His offspring, groping after Him, living in Him, should we not seek to be more like Him? And we are to do that in this time He chose especially for us! Awesome!
