Not as much sensing anything, but I'm seeing a rapid degradation of moral character in people and nations. Spiritual blindness, false prophecy and false doctrine, is epidemic in so-called Christianity as never before, more twisted theology than sound. Corporate greed has run amuck, no sense of social responsibility to society or employees, money, profit by any means, becoming their absolute god. Just look at old black and white TV shows, where there's actually a pervading sense of right and wrong, and community. There's Mr. Obama promoting homosexuality, Christians persecuted in the army, while Muslims are protected, and the abject failure of the U.S. and western nations to have done anything sooner about the mayhem against Christians and others innocent of any crimes in the Middle East, by these roving psychotic criminals, is astounding. (We can have all sorts of unjust wars, yet play golf, while the need for a police action and justice is screaming, as if serial killers on the loose, and nobody cared, without such as pressure from Congress: no moral conscience in charge.) My parents can't relate to what's going on anymore, my grandparents would have felt they landed from another planet. The slide towards the abyss I'm seeing is astounding, to me this evidence we are maybe on the brink of such degeneracy and blind stupidity to blow ourselves up, should the Lord not return, and to where it's looking more and more the characterization of the days of Noah,
Genesis 6:5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
There's something amiss when so very much is no longer making moral sense, or even common sense, any longer. Anyway, very interesting thoughts and thread, Amadeb62. Yes, no matter what, God is in control, and it does seem sooner than later this old world may find that out. Keep your eyes on our Lord Jesus and eternity!
Titus 2:13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ.
