The Promised land

Barack Obama`s election as America's first black president has infused fresh dreams in the world. People across the world stayed up all night or woke early to watch Obama to make history. His victory has inserted a overwhelming feeling of hope in the America. Nelson Mandela said "Your victory has demonstrated that no person anywhere in the world should not dare to change the world for a better place", in a letter of congratulations to Obama. Many people in the USA and in the world expressed satisfaction.

The world is excited about Obama, and the base of the excitation is the hope of a better world. Hope of change, peace, iquality and security. Thinking about it, I asked myself: should we expect it? Can Obama change the World or at least the USA for a better place?

I really like obama. He`s intelligent, young and wise. His eager vision of the future and his magic words "Yes We Can" inspire me. But when we ta
lk about the social condition of a country or of the world, we need to figure out the exist political systems that controls everything. I won`t waste time defining a political system, but i`m going to describe some: Democracy (the current political system in the most of the countries ), Socialism, Anarchism, Monarchy and Feudalism. If you make a research about the history of the political systems, you`ll realize the anyone of them brought peace, iquality and security. All of them failed. the humanity always suffered one of this problems, So, the question isn`t if Obama can change the world. The question is: Can the democracy bring peace and iquality?

My answer is "not really", because the guide of any kind of political systems is the human being. The man commit mistakes, is selfish and bad. No matter how many good people you know, all of them are sinners and faultys. Obama/democracy cant` make the promised land, because the only political system that works out is the "Theocracy". God as the Governor. when God is the Governor the promised land happens. When God is the hope the change happens. when the world to elect God as the Governor everything will be perfect, the promised land will be our home. And I belive "we are the ones" who will get there.

Rafael Reis - the man of name, personality and strong ideas! Saudade de você boy!! I am happy in extreme of now be able to hear your thoughts, even amid distance, through this blog. I will be always arounding here and will be a pleasure have its link there in the my space. I liked the text. Also stayed impressed by the words of hope and equality of Obama; but after see a small one video of him, some things changed in my thoughts... but your approach about the system of government was so peculiar one as much as true regarding Bible. Finally, we will be now always connected, embrace. God bless you rich and abundantly.

I have some doubts regarding to Mr Obama. He seems to be a man with a great future. He has a wonderful potential; he already showed it in his own life history. We can say the he has fought all his life against the preconception. But he was victorious.
HOwever, as a conservative christian, I think that his political thoughts are a little dangerous. The last thing that we need in the U.S. today is our governors with a liberal philosophy. As my teacher Dr Rodrigo Silva uses to say: "He has a so opened mind that his brain is almost falling off from his head.
I think we have to be a little careful supporting him. But the greatest thruth is: the real only one solution to this fallen world is Jesus. And not "yes, we can", but "yes, HE can"!

Pr B!

I tottaly agree with you. God is the only one that CAN make a change! It's exceting to see such a change happening now. But it's not gonna take us anywhere. Instead things are just gonna get worst, cause God is the only one that is gonna give us the promise land. I wonder if Obama is gonna be the next Beast... well nobody knows YET.. but someday we'll all find out !
