My electric grid hasn't collapsed. Neither has the banking system. Another doomer.

You like going down to the river to wash clothes or preparing meals that takes all day? You like being without remedial health care or walking wherever you go? You like suspect water and food supplies? You aren't even trying. The story of humanity began in the garden and ends with a city. It was always God's plan for man to advance in knowledge and technology.

One would have to be a doomer to believe life was better 1500 years ago.

If you can look at the world now and think they won't, then you are living in a Pollyanna world

Expected doomer reply.

You still didn't answer the question. Would you rather live now or 500 AD?

I told you. Depends on where you lived then. Obviously now is an easier time to live, but it's also very fragile, which you don't seem to get. If your way of life collapses, then your life will conceivably be 1000x worse than 500AD

The world has always been fragile. God has always been attending to it. The challenges may change, but God hasn't. He simply keeps endowing mankind with knowledge, understanding, and wisdom, which has led to a continual improvement...especially since the cross. So don't tell me I don't get it.

Some people see the glass half empty; some half full. The Christian should always view the glass overflowing.

Yep, during tough times we need to abide in Him believing He is working things towards the end that He desires which is evil being put down and righteousness prevailing.

And we need to stop worrying:

Luke 21:34
And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.

1 Peter 5:7
Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

Philippians 4:6
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

John 14:1
Let not your heart be troubled

Walking in sorrow, worry, fear, anxiety, etc is sinful behavior because it's NOT walking by faith and such behavior is an open door to the enemy come in and attack

Romans 14:23
Whatsoever is not of faith is sin.

It is really quite simple, "the whole world lies in the evil one". However, this does not preclude the Lord from using these different rulers and kings the way you would use a stick to inflict punishment on someone else. Just because this war in Iran is God fulfilling prophecy over Iran doesn't mean that Trump is not a world leader that "lies in the evil one". It simply means he is a stick in God's hand proving that God is over all. Think of Jeroboam, he fulfilled God's prophecy concerning Solomon's kingdom being taken from him, and yet he also sinned and fell under judgment when he made the children of Israel to sin with idolatry.

That is a true principle.
Nevertheless there's much spiritual warfare going on in Trump's house and the people he surrounds himself with aren't necessarily speaking God's will.

Oh that's right. I forgot that followers of the doctrine of the pharisees can't see those things.

Again you wrongly declare and aver that the 70th week of Daniel pertains the the Church. Utterly preposterous and biblically illiterate.

The 69 weeks: Israel
The 70th week: Israel

Dan 9:24 - Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people (Israelites) and upon thy holy city (Jerusalem) , to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.

The ENTIRE 70 weeks pertains to Israel ONLY. Including the influence of kings and their interventions (Cyrus, Darius, Artaxerxes). They ALSO pertain ONLY to Israel, the nation, the people, the holy city Jerusalem, the Temple reconstruction etc.

And to make matters worse, you teach (!) that the 70th week duration is thousands of years in length.

All of this bizarre error a figment of your imagination nothing more. There is zero scriptural support for it.
