Chaos, Culture, And Christ: Why Society Can’t Help The Hopeless

Not long ago, a Gallup poll revealed that 70% of Americans believe in the devil. It’s interesting to notice that belief in Satan usually goes up whenever an evil act takes place in our country.

Sadly, there have been quite a few such acts in recent days. But it’s nothing new. The evil one has been wrecking human lives for a long, long time.

Two Gospel writers, Matthew and Luke, give a graphic account of two men who had been completely taken over by the power of Satan. These men were tortured, lonely, suicidal, frightening to their neighbors, and utterly miserable. In short, they were in an absolutely hopeless situation.

Hopeless, that is, until Jesus came along.

Effectively we see three forces at work in these parallel accounts: Chaos, culture, and Christ. Those same forces are at work in our world. Our nation and our culture have some serious choices to make.

Here is how Matthew sets the scene:

Matthew 8:28-29 KJV – “And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way. And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?”

We are so saturated with demonic forces in the nation, it appears beyond help. Too many have reprobate minds spoken of in Romans chapter 1. God has turned them over because they refuse to accept His words/rules. Combine that with the godless hordes pouring in and it makes a playground for Satan. I've never seen such evil in my life as I have in the past 3-4 years. I think we are beyond redemption as a nation.

I’m hoping the rapture happens soon.

Many now wish for the second coming and perhaps rightly so. We have become soft as a people and as a nation; tolerating the intolerable because we are afraid to risk ourselves and/or our fortunes to secure our country.
It requires massive hubris to expect our Lord to save us when we will not save ourselves, i.e., God hels those who help themselves.
Are we such cowards in life that we cannot take back our (civil) servants, our institutions, our country?Have we been so brain-washed and feminized that we can no longer redress out grievances? If so then God should foresake us as we are not worthy of him.

Don’t give up and don’t let the trolls tell you there is no rapture.
Jesus promised it and it will happen!

Maranatha!
