Much has been said concerning the lottery and gambling issues in Alabama. Rarely have I seen or heard Scripture-based prophecy illustrated in these discussions. Think about it for a minute. The former governor who pushed for a state-run lottery was eventually sent to prison (and is awaiting an appeal). Since the good citizens of this state soundly rejected the lottery movement by popular vote, Alabama has landed international automobile-manufacturing facilities and some of the largest steel-processing plants in the world and is one of two finalists for landing the largest defense contract ever issued by the U.S. government. I wish politicians would stop thumping their chests and acknowledge God’s presence. Second Chronicles 7:14 says, “If my people, who are called by my name, humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”
