>> We're there. Scary, isn't it.

Yes it is, but this was prophesied. Paul wrote: "Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first. . ." (2 Thessalonians 2:3)

In chapter 12 of the Revelation of Jesus Christ the prophesy refers to the falling away in this manner: it talks about a great woman who brings forth a man-child to rule all nations -- one who is caught up unto God and his throne. Shortly thereafter the devil is cast out of heaven. When he realizes he has been cast out he persecutes the woman who brought forth the man-child. When the woman flees with her child into the wilderness, the devil cast out his mouth a flood after the woman. But the earth helps the woman and swallows up the flood. The devil then becomes wrought with the woman and makes war with the remnant of her seed -- those who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

We are now at that latter point where the devil is making war against those who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

I would say that latter point that war has been going on since the begining of time. Since Adam and Eve.

Nothing new under the sun.
