Yes, our only Hope is in Jesus as you well stated.As I have said right out of scripture, God Removes kings and raises them. Daniel 2:21, and He does so for both to bless and to judge. However God is using our leaders, including whoever is in office after January comes, it will be for God's purpose to offer more times to draw more to Jesus and be saved, or to judge this nation for refusing to repent.
I listen to JB Hixon and he really believes that both parties are two sides of the same coin. The Deep State is imbedded within both parties.
I think while we want to hold on to as much liberty and some kind of normalcy as long as possible, we need to look to God and trust Him believing He can do anything and always works for the good for those who love Him.
Israel made the error of wanting a king to lead them like the Gentile nations had. God saw this as Israel rejecting Him and gave them what they wanted, Saul, a horrible king.
4 "Then all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah, 5 and said to him, “Look, you are old, and your sons do not walk in your ways. Now make us a king to judge us like all the nations.”
6 But the thing displeased Samuel when they said, “Give us a king to judge us.” So Samuel prayed to the Lord. 7 And the Lord said to Samuel, “Heed the voice of the people in all that they say to you; for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me, that I should not reign over them. 8 According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt, even to this day—with which they have forsaken Me and served other gods—so they are doing to you also. 9 Now therefore, heed their voice. However, you shall solemnly forewarn them, and show them the behavior of the king who will reign over them.”
1 Samuel 8:4-9
I don't believe there's anything wrong with looking to someone to lead this nation with hopes of resulting in good and keeping law and order and keeping our freedoms as given to us by God, but in these last days it should also be expected to see things only get worse,
2 Timothy 3:13, and not be surprised or disappointed when we see it.
Our Hope is sealed in us with The Holy Spirit.
Our Real Hope is Certain and Secured in our eternal state that's coming soon, and The Prince of Peace, Jesus, is The One Who will reign as The Only King Who will lead in Righteousness.
Our Hope does Not disappoint. Maranatha
"Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us."
Romans 5:5
"And in the days of these kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.'
Daniel 2:44
Until the day we are called home, I will vote for the party that seems the best for our country, or at least the lesser of two evils. I also know there will never be a biblically sound person elected in a national election, and it will lead to serious disappointment if one thinks there will be.
