Could be. But I would expect that the End Times dictatorship would be more competent and ruthless.
The current lot are evil, but they are also incompetent clowns.
Maybe you’re right. Maybe worse is to come yet.
I remember watching “Left Behind” and wondering how on earth a whole group of people could see a man shot and keep repeating the mantra, “Such a tragedy” as they claimed he killed himself.
I didn’t believe such strong delusion was possible. But it is. I see it every day. Incompetent or not, this current bunch has achieved that. And if they aren’t stopped they certainly will achieve much, much worse.
Only God knows the times for sure. I’ll trust Him on that, but I hope that this current bunch falls, if for no other reason than the reality of justice in this world could wake many people to understand and receive Christ as the One who is truly FOR us.
