I would find it a lot easier to trash the “End of times” Biblical dynamic, if the Bible hadn’t so perfectly described it.
Paraphrased (loosely):
They will look for peace, and will find nothing but wars and rumors of wars.
Evil is described as becoming accepted.
Christians will come under increasing pressure.
They will be persecuted.
Folks, it’s there if you want to read about it.
Sure is.
Those who really believe he is coming want to be found working not sitting around waiting for things to fall apart.
As you noted... Evil is described as becoming accepted.
People who read that in the Bible don't like to recognize we were never intended to approve that by our silence. The church I walked away from refused to address the evil that is steadily encroaching on that church's right to exist.
The leadership I talked to about it were content to explain it away as 'the will of God'.
Thank you, Dr. Brown.
