I unfortunately think you’re right about what’s on the horizon, societally. And I also think you’re right, fortunately, about what’s on the horizon, spiritually. I did wander far, far off the path for years, and spent years trying to find it again. Had a surprise visit with Jesus a year or so ago (!!), and life is different —and much better— now.

You’re lucky. I have never been that blessed (yet)... but I live in hope and anticipation. I hold fast to what Jesus said about “those that endure until the end will be saved”. I take that to mean those that endure what’s coming, ie the end days, without losing their faith... will have salvation. Many will fall by the wayside though, as life gets harder and more scary. Many will chicken out and take ‘the Mark’ rather than endure what they’ll be threatened with. We already know what’s going to happen and we’re seeing glimmers and hints of that already.
