Pride and Prophecy

We humans, specifically Americans, make many references to end time prophecies, yet make comments and behave as if our national fervor or religious self-proclaimed piety will change the unfolding events of the end of days.  Wars and rumors of wars were prophesied, so starting one more isn't going to change the clock.  Political name calling is ridiculous, YHWH already knows who the false prophet is and when he will speak.  The Psalmist speaks against placing our faith in horse and chariots, that translates in today's world to military strength.  The only thing in Scripture that ever brought a reprieve of wrath was repentance.  Repentance involves humility and remorse, not pride.
