Rendezvous With Destiny
6 June 2004

I was reading Ronald Reagan’s great speech “Rendezvous
With Destiny.” He quoted Alexander Hamilton who said,
"A nation which can prefer disgrace to danger is
prepared for a master, and deserves one." My thoughts
returned to the recent Spanish elections where those
people chose to be swayed by a little terrorism into
voting for a government that would withdraw them from
the necessary confrontation with terrorism needed to
keep their national sovereignty.

They of course are not alone. We have seen the French
and the Germans willing to prostitute themselves to
the former dictator Saddam Hussein as well as Syrian
terrorist leaders for the sake of gain. Their sale of
themselves was more of a long-term relationship, for
they spent years being the mistress of these and other
evil governments for what they could get out of it.

After the fall of the Soviet Union, I did some
one-night seminars on how the event with its
realignment of relationships made the fulfillment of
Ezekiel 38 more possible of fulfillment exactly as
stated than ever before. Nothing that has taken place
since then has moved me away from seeing how world
events have set the course for a Biblical rendezvous
with destiny.
Christians should remember that the time of the
Tribulation, we often speak about and say that we
believe in, is an exercise of God’s judgment upon
mankind in which they receive exactly what is deserved
for the choices they have made. We are seeing all of
Europe moving in the direction to set up the world for
a coming of the man of sin predicted in Scripture. The
coming events will prove the words of Alexander
Hamilton that the people who prefer disgrace to danger
is prepared for a master and deserves one.

It seems that most of the pulpits of Europe and
silent, and in the main they are powerless anyway. We
can point to decades, and in some cases centuries of
compromise that has made this so. The result is that
they are not speaking to the people and warning them
of the rendezvous with destiny that is heading their
way with ever increasing speed.
