When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday. – Psalm 42:4
We have all heard and engaged in conversations about how life used to be. The elders can tell some fascinating tales of no running water, of walking miles on a dusty road to the store, of freezing cold winters, frost so thick that it looked like snow, and a single pot-belly wood stove for heat. But those were still the good ole days, deemed such because life seemed simpler and better. The elders were respected, children more obedient, people were kinder, compassionate, honest, and hedonism existed only in the largest cities and only at night. There wasn’t as much on TV, but there was more of what mattered in people’s hearts.
Today, the world is a dangerous place, and wickedness rules the night as well as the day. Our children and young people are under a vicious attack by liberalism’s ripening and poisonous fruit. There is virtually no sector of society that has not been invaded and infected by the toxic atmosphere being made ready for the Antichrist kingdom.
It is a perilous time, a time of great stress. Professing Christians who are casual and passionless in their relationship with God cannot accept the reality, much less endure the weight of it. The specter of a brutal future is too much for them to consider and prepare for. Innumerable people, including a vast number of professing Christians, are buying into the lies of psychiatry and psychology that label every spiritual malady as a disease. Some have become legal drug addicts.
Churches are founded, and in a few months, grow exponentially with stress-free preaching and world-centered entertainment. Truth is being banned as the glaring factor hindering not only world peace and unity, but also the brass ring prize, a human-contrived utopia. In a number of venues today, declaring oneself as a Christian is to become a social pariah. Jesus is the most hated name in the world. Sin is honored—godliness is cursed. Political leaders now lie so profusely that they create a fantasy world each time they speak. Up isn’t up any longer and down isn’t down, unless it is convenient. Traditional morals are being rolled in the mud of tolerance and political correctness. And it’s not going to get better.
In the midst of this caldron of diabolical influences and sin’s consequences, there are people who refuse to relinquish what they know is true for the obviously evil new social paradigm. Good for them. That paradigm is composed of several tenets. Here are a few of them:
- There are no absolutes, especially moral absolutes.
- Humanity does not need a god. We can solve our own problems.
- Christianity and Judaism are the remaining hindrances to world peace and unity.
- Global Socialism is the panacea to all of society’s ills, including poverty and war.
The world’s societies are merging because of the Internet and digital technology. Thus, the new paradigm requires a New World Order. To succeed in establishing a New World Order, forces in the secular and religious world are systematically breaking down the old order. The fact is, they will accomplish what they are attempting to do, because eschatological prophecies must be fulfilled. There will be an Antichrist heading a global government, and a False Prophet leading the one-world religion. No one but God can stop that from happening. It will come on the heels of a cashless economy, which in the hands of evil people will bring every individual on this earth under submission to a ruler. Click here to continue reading.
