"If you believe that God puts our leaders in place and that we need to pray for them"
That statement shows why true Christians, in obedience to the scripture, do not lean on their own understanding, but in all their ways acknowledge Him, and seek His perfect truth in all things.
Scripture itself teaches the true believer that God raises up and takes down rulers as He continues His plan to restore mankind to Him since the fall, restored as it was in Genesis one and as we see His finished work in Revelation 22.
Only the intentionally lost and disobedient will miss the mark, there will be no excuses.
The separating of His sheep from the adversaries goats is taking place, we see it in this thread and every where at this time.
