It is a beautiful post. I remember these things, too, and how far we have fallen.
I would say, not how did we get here - you have outlined that very well - the question is, why are we here?
According to the Bible this day was inevitable. “These things must take place,” said Jesus, “but the end is not yet.” [ https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+24&version=NASB ]
God did send us a boat; his name is Jesus (”as it was in the days of Noah...”). May everyone reading these words get “in Christ” to save their souls from eternal death.
I guess a time of persecution before the rapture is coming. We ought to be preparing ourselves spiritually for that. Many will fall away, and will betray one another.
Stand firm in the faith, once for all delivered to the saints (Jude 1:3)!
My husband died suddenly 5 yrs ago and my son lost a 2 yr battle with leukemia 3 yrs ago.
They will meet me there.. my mother is there also... and many family...
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
