As the 2024 election approaches, I find myself reflecting deeply on the state of our nation and the role God calls us, as Christians, to play in shaping its future.
The Bible contains great wisdom about the responsibilities of believers—principles that not only guide our personal lives but also inform how we engage with the broader culture. One of the most essential ways we engage is through the right and responsibility to vote.
What happens when Christians fail to vote? What happens when we neglect this God-given opportunity to influence our nation for good? The consequences are profound, both spiritually and politically, as both history and Scripture have taught us time and again.

As Nov. 5, Election Day, approaches, a significant shift is taking place that could determine not just the political outcome, but also the very future of our nation.
Recent research from the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University, led by Dr. George Barna, reveals a startling trend: Millions of Christians—many of whom have traditionally supported conservative values—may choose to stay home on Election Day. According to the study, a mere 51% of people of faith plan to vote in the upcoming election.
This is more than a matter of political preference; it’s a critical moment that could shift the course of history. As I explore in my latest books, “The Trump Code” and “Revelation 911,” the decisions made in this election will have profound implications not only for America’s political landscape but for the unfolding of biblical prophecy. The research found that as many as 104 million people of faith are unlikely to vote in this upcoming election—and among those, 32 million self-identified Christians who regularly attend church will fail to cast ballots.

A Biblical Mandate: Occupying Until He Comes
The Bible commands us to be engaged in the world around us, to stand for truth, justice and righteousness. One of the verses that have remained on my heart is Luke 19:13c (KJV), where Jesus tells His followers to “occupy till I come.” This command isn’t passive; it calls us to active involvement in every sphere of life—including politics.
Over the years, my co-author Paul McGuire and I have often reflected on this verse, particularly during the writing of “The Babylon Code.” During countless conversations, we reminded each other, “Occupy the land until Jesus returns.” Whether through evangelism or by using our God-given voices in the political arena, this Scripture has always been at the heart of our mission.
