I believe that there will be a great awakening in both the former ‘Christendom’ and Asia and Africa before Jesus returns. Unfortunately for the 1st world countries, like those in Europe, Australia, US, Canada, etc., I believe that it will take a severe crisis, where we become dependent on the Lord, rather than ourselves.
Africans come to the Lord much easier because they have nothing left to depend on, they are mostly already at the ‘end of themselves’, so God is their ‘only chance’. We (the 1st world) only come to Him after all other means are used up, as a ‘last chance’. He may soon bring us to the level of Africa.
I don’t think it’s God bringing us to the level of Africa. It’s the government. And “we” (not the Believers), ourselves.
I wish I felt more optimistic about an awakening. People seem to be devolving at an incredible pace. I would love it if you were right.
