Something is coming. I don’t know what. But we must be ready. Here’s the key question: Is America heading towards a terrible implosion or a great awakening?
I feel a tremendous sense of urgency about this column.
The United States is hurtling towards severe trouble, and the events of the past few months — and what may be coming over the next few months — grieves me a great deal.
Something is coming. I don’t know what. But we all must be ready in every possible way.
Consider where we are in the summer of 2015:
•Violence is exploding in our cities, schools and churches. The horrific mass murder inside the church in Charleston would be bad enough if it wasn’t just one of innumerable mass killings that have become epidemic in America.
•Racism is tearing us apart, and it appears things are getting worse, not better.
•The Supreme Court is poised to rule any day now on the definition and future of marriage — and if the Court rules against Biblical marriage I believe this could cause the Lord’s hand to turn against our country in a severe and profound way according to the moral laws found in Romans chapter one.
•Abortions are occurring at more than one million in year and have put America on the fast track to judgment. Since 1973, Americans have murdered 57 million children through abortions. The blood of 57 million babies is crying out for justice, and they will get it in God’s sovereign timing. Could that be soon?
•If all this wasn’t bad enough, marriages and families are imploding all around us. Poverty is growing. Drug and alcohol use is epidemic. And that’s just here at home.
•Abroad, Iran is closing in on The Bomb.

This could be part of it; for we see it here on FR.
When a person's whole being is wrapped up on what others have TOLD them (instead of researching it for themselves) turns out to be; shall we say; LESS than what they've been LED to believe; anger at GOD is quite often exhibited.
How could YOU have let me be led astray; GOD??
Quite similar to...
...the woman that YOU gave me...
You’ve nailed it!
yup...
interesting. Note that the un (france) is planning on introducing a resolution to form a palistinian state. I remember something about 0bama endorsing a 5 year peace treaty - wouldn’t take much for two more years. That and teh pope’s address to the un. I usually don’t react this way but it brought the hairs on my neck straight up.
Obama isn’t the disease, merely a symptom.
He is the Typhoid Mary of politics.
I see a bull on that cow.
I’m in Cypress and I haven’t seen that many smash and grabs. But I’m seeing more and more burglaries.

Until willful ignorance is wiped out, yes again, until it sinks in.
America is definitely the “Great Nation” of Jacob’s prophecy.

Yes, you make a very sound argument.
“I could have a pickup bed full of Kruggerands; but what could I BUY with them?”
When I spoke of “goods that have intrinsic value” I was thinking of things that will contribute to survival. Things, in addition, that could be used for barter: grain alcohol, lighters, TP, et cetera.
OOOH!
On the right ear and shoulder??
AHhhh...
Yep, that would benign. But that’s a big “if”.
That and the right flank...looking right at me.
He’ll declare himself to be “god”.
But generally agree with ya.
Yes, the clock is ticking.
I believe it. As for the last part...
[I suspect everything will be fairly normal within the parameters of this messed up time just like the days of Sodom and Noah.]
That’s what Luke 17 and Matthew 24 tells us (at one particular point - not the whole thing of course).
Violence is down since 1992.
Crime is down since 1992.
Abortions are down from 1.6 million/year in 1990 to 1 million/year today.
Poverty worldwide has been cut in half.
So much for your rant. Too bad.
