Unfortunately, I think you're right. This will get very ugly before it ever gets better.
I may be fatalistic, but I see this has a war that has to happen and since it's inevitable, I would just as soon it happened now .
Waiting only means our kids will have to fight it.
I have mixed feelings about the timing.
I certainly believe satan is eager to get global 'festivities' going ahead of God's timing.
On the other hand . . . [with different fingers] . . .
Letting the evil globalist idiots build up more horror on the part of the most evil tools in their quiver doesn't please me at all.
I wouldn't lose any sleep over Iran, NKorea, Syria, Cuba, Chevez and major portions of Pak being taken out permanently. I know it will happen . . . and probably later than I'd prefer.
Thankfully, God is a better general than I am.
