Very well put.

As you said yesterday, what we are witnessing is the rise of Luciferianism.

And though its byproducts are confusingly destructive (civilization is crumbling around us), Luciferianism is quite simple.

It's the same message Eve got re: the apple (allegorical or not).

"God wants to hold you back from knowing the real truth. He (God) doesn't want you to know about the fun and learning (i.e., technology) you are missing." "You need to self-actualize...be all you can be." "You need to understand that God wants you to live in this weird "sinless" prison."

"Come with me and be free...free to do what you want!"

What we are witnessing in our country and in our world is that the gates of God's so-called prison of Righteousness have been flung open...and the inmates are pouring out onto the streets.

And I’ve never seen a more credible witness to the assembly of the tribulation. These things would have been impossible a half century ago. In fifty years the conservative campaign slogans have devolved to “We will allow gasoline for your cars and We will ban sex changes for your children.” ~ DJT 09/27/23. A position that the absurd and ascendant democrats oppose diametrically.

If you’re a pre or post trib believer, stack that in with the other hopes for the return. And keep your torches lit for when he comes for the bride. The storm is no longer on the horizon like it was in the 70’s. You can now see the flashes of lightning and smell the rain.

What we are witnessing is God in judgement turning us over to our own minds. The fall in the Garden of Eden was due to Adam and Eve seeking autonomy from God and we are increasingly witinessing the fruit of that. We want the blessings of God, but we just don’t want Him.

God’s Wrath on Unrighteousness
Romans 1:18-32 ESV (emphasis v28-32)
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth.
19 For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them.
20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.
21 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened.
22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools,
23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.

24 Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves,
25 because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.

26 For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature;
27 and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.

28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done.
29 They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips,
30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents,
31 foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless.
32 Though they know God’s righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.
