In the late 1800's Charles Spurgeon spoke of how evil the world was. In the 1940's and '50's A. W. Tozer spoke the same thing. The world has always been dark and evil and yet mankind gets used to the environment in which he lives. My memories of the 1960's are wonderful. It was safe and wholesome for me and yet history shows it to be very tumultuous and evil. But with all that being said, the level of evil in today's world is so oppressive that I cannot understand how a true believe could think otherwise. The proverbial frog in the pot of boiling water has to feel the burn at this point. We are seeing things go on in the USA that I would have never believed would happen ten years ago. Abortion is heinous enough but bills being passed in four states allowing infanticide is beyond horrific! The list goes on. Come quickly, Lord Jesus! The fact that we wait upon Him and for Him must bless His heart. Though no man with certainty can say when that day shall be, we are anxious to be with Him. And I have no doubt that Jesus is just as anxious to be with us! We study to show ourselves approved and just like with His first coming, there is a growing sense of anticipation. Deservedly so! Evil and wickedness abound, the love of many have grown cold, longtime prophecies are being fulfilled with an alarming rate, false teachers and prophets continue to preach for gain. We truly live in "thresh0ld" times. Heaven is now seemingly in sight! Just as a Bride before her wedding day, we focus on the details of preparation. Ever looking forward towards the bliss of a sanctified union with our First love! Though the eyes of the world are on the Bride, the Bride can see only Him! TR Israel is key to the timing. Whatever else is going on, God will hold off on intervening until the existence of Israel is at stake. The framework for that is developing rapidly, I believe. Other things have been in place for a long time, and seem to be in a holding pattern, much to our amazement. I also can't imagine why we remain here, yet we are. When the time is up, it will be catastrophic. God's goodness is from everlasting to everlasting! :good: :yes: We love you Lord, and we are presently heartsick at still being separated from You! But you are the sovereign potentate over all creation. :yes: Your will be done, thy kingdom come on Earth as it is in Heaven....! :prayer-hands: TR My opinion. Two things: When POTUS Trump announced his candidacy for prez, the communist-marxist-globalist, began exposing themselves (masks off) in University, Big Corp, Media, government, both democrats and RINOs, for the world to see. The wicked have been fully exposed in the secular world. If one can't see in the secular, they will never be able to see in the supernatural. Second: Muslims are being saved leaps and bounds in the ME (others too), and until the fullness of the gentiles comes in... :bible :bible
