Once the voice of the Bible has been silenced, the war on Western Civilization can begin and we shall see a long night of barbarism descend on the West.
The "long night of barbarism" is coming because the Bible says it is. The will be the seven-year Tribulation which will seem to those going through it like an eternity, I'm sure. Not entirely sure this is the time, but the trends seen by Lapin and others, as well as our own observations, indicate the time may be very near.
Many fervent Christians are doing their best to stand and fight against this. (Jay Sekulow's American Center for Law and Justice is a good example.) We as Christians must give ourselves entirely to the Lord and let him be the Commander regarding our battle "role" during this time. We certainly need to pray and seek to lead as many as possible to the Lord before he comes to take his own to heaven with him and the world plunges into darkness.
