Yes I know that if we are as close to the very last days as it seems we are, very strongly seems we are, then a revival is not to be expected. Descriptions of the days leading up to the end picture a worsening moral climate along with various disasters that speak of god's judgments, no mention of any glorious renewals as the time craws nearer. But we don't know how close we are. It certainly feels very very close, as if things just couldn't get any worse so we must be just about there, but we don't know how bad it could sill et before the end, we don't know anytbhing until it happens. We know it's coming but we have no way ofknowing long long it will be in the arrival. that being the case I still hope for a revival before it all comes down. A revival would pull people into the Church and save them from the last days horror show. they can still be saved then but I wouldn't wish that way of being saved on anywone.
Some huge percentage of houng people , like forty percent. think murdering the CEO of United Health Care was ustified, altho8ugh they know tnothing at all about the man or his work or any hnint at all that he ever did anything to deserve any kihnd of retribution. Being the CEO of health and incsurance company is enough to justify murder in the minds of an awful lot of people. If that doesn't set your teeth on edge you aren't educated in the things we need to be educated in to run a civilization'
That statistic anolone is enough to suggest the last days are upon us it seems to me. And it also makes me think of how it couldn't happen if we'd remained at least superficially a Christian nation, or a Christian West, as we truly were up until, oh I don't know, half a century ago? If you throw out the Bible, tear down the ten Caommandments monuments, actually challenege the state that wants to install them in classrooms, you are denying the culture exacly the anticite to t all this murderous evil , this uncivilizing of the world that we are seeing. Murder is a shall not in the ten commandments, but they are making it a positive value in today's world for people who are merely annoyed at the though t of someone running an inusurance company that doesn't do what they think the company should do deserves to be jmurdered. Not given a fair trial even, just murdered in cold blood by any random person who feels annoyed at him. think wehere this sort of thinking is going. think of all the school shootinbgs. Nobody is teaching the truth about violations of God's law that they lead to death and hell. Scripture teaches that over and over and over but we've thrown out the bible and forbidden it from being taught in schools or spoken in public. We can't even sing true Christmas carols that celebrate the true meaning of Christmas in public any more. it's all winter type songs, celebration songs that scelebrate nothing at all except eating a lot of pumbpkin pie and so on.
So nobody hears that God has commanded us not to murder, or ven harbor hatred in our hearts toward others, to love our neighbor as ourselves, not to lie to our neighbor or about our neighbor, not to steal from our neighbor , not to be disrespectful to our parents and other legitimate authorities, not to commit adultery, not to covet or envy others what they have. We are not taught those things any more and I suppose if we trie to d to makew people aware of them we'd be put in jail for it.
Having killed the main safeguard against murderous lying disruptive decivilizaing chaors, we've open ed the door to a realm of horrors hat those who are aware should experience as terrifying. those who are blithely denying religioun and any morality beyond their own pleausre won't get it until it is too late.
Jesus died to save us from an eternity of midsery for our violations of the Moral Law. that is still offered to anyone who will diligently look 8into it, believe it and surrender to it. Even if the world around us all continues to come aparet at the seams.
