The four restraints that MacArthur cited are Conscience, Family, Civil Authority and the Holy Spirit (through the Church). It's not hard to see how all four have been marginalized in our society, and now we are on the edge of ruin.
And they will give us a Pretty Nice Society, we must confess.
But will they save a soul? Even the Holy Spirit needs Christ for that.
Conscience - just about gone. Old fashioned.
Family - redefined, meaning corrupted. Original meaning now considered “heteronormative”, oppressive.
Civil Authority - corrupted, enforces political correctness, etc.
Holy Spirit - the only one of the four keeping the whole mess from blowing up.
Otherwise the rest of this nation is following Aleistar Crowley. “Do as thou whilst”. Now did I just see a chunk of burning sulfur fly over?
Thank you for the information.
