Evil Is Abounding

This year has become a head shaker. I see a spirit of rebellion and evil filling every aspect of life. Good people are becoming harsh, rude, judgmental, and filled with hate. Families are being divided because of this spirit of evil. There is so much hatred in our country today. Politically there is a deep hatred between the left and right. These two sides are close to taking up arms against one another. We have been in a Civil War with words for the past two decades. Our elected leaders have polarized this nation into camps of hatred. This same hatred has spilled over into our churches, where discord is sown by those who claim to be Christian but lack the spiritual fruits to identify with Jesus Christ. Then there is one crisis after another taking place on a weekly cycle.

Have you ever wondered why we get hit by one thing after another? I grew up during a time when it seemed like America was endlessly blessed, but now everything around us seems to be cursed by God. Our economy is imploding, inflation is out of control, the housing market is starting to crash, our weather patterns have gone completely nuts, the western half of the nation is enduring the worst drought in 1,200 years, and we are dealing with three significant pandemics simultaneously, we are losing our proxy war with Russia in Ukraine, and it looks like war with China is just around the corner. On top of everything else, our political system is failing because liberals and conservatives sincerely hate one another. And if you think hope is on the horizon, you will be severely disappointed. The current crop of politicians in Washington is the worst that we have had in our history, and all of the "solutions" they give us seem to make matters even worse.

Could it be possible that there is a common thread connecting all of the bad things constantly happening to us? We have been warned that before the LORD returns, Satan will be loosed upon the world to deceive the nations. Satan knows his time is short and will do everything he can to destroy God's creation.

Every day for the past few months shows tens of millions of people under extreme weather risk every day, often in three different areas of the country simultaneously (upper Midwest, East coast, and the Southeast region). In the west, a long period of drought has been drying up reservoirs and spawning massive forest fires. National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) statistics show that as of July 5, 34,478 fires have already burned 4,582,301 acres. This is above the 10-year average of 27,346 fires and twice the average of 2,026,917 acres burned. The odd thing is that very little of this occurs just north of the U.S. in Canada or just south in Mexico. It all seems to be centered in the U.S. Could God be trying to wake us up?

I have been warning about the endless supply chain-related food shortages forcing people to adjust their grocery lists; another essential ingredient is becoming scarce. Along with avocados, cream cheese, chickpeas, and olive oil, the supply of tomatoes have started to dwindle. But this time, California's catastrophic drought denies farmers the water needed to grow the versatile vegetable that's to blame. Due to the shortage, the price of byproducts like ketchup, salsa, and spaghetti sauce has started to surge.

Here is something to remember. If the inflation rate were still calculated the way it was back in 1980, it would be higher than anything that we experienced during the Jimmy Carter era.

Over the past few years, our politicians in Washington have gone on the most dramatic borrowing and spending binge in human history. The "experts" at the Federal Reserve pumped trillions of new dollars into the financial system. Since Biden has been in office, this inflation has reduced real monthly wages.

The Federal Reserve is recklessly hiking interest rates in a desperate attempt to battle inflation, but everyone knows this would inevitably cause a housing crash. If you take the time to follow the value of your house, you will notice that you have been losing thousands of dollars each month in your home equity. The housing market has started to crash.

New home sales were about 30 percent lower this July than last July. The plunge in home sales is just stunning. Sales of new single-family houses collapsed by 12.6% in July from the already beaten-down levels in June and by nearly 30% from July last year to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 511,000 houses, the lowest since January 2016, and well below the lockdown lows, according to data from the Census Bureau today.

We are now deeply involved in a proxy war with Russia in Ukraine, which is not going very well. I am so tired of hearing the Russia, Russia, cause for our problems. If both sides continue to escalate matters, we could eventually find ourselves in a nuclear conflict with Russia, which would ultimately have the potential to kill billions of people.

In addition, the warmongers in the Biden administration have also brought us to the brink of a war with China. More U.S. politicians like Indiana Eric Holcomb keep flying over to Taiwan, and at some point, the Chinese will decide they cannot take any more provocations. 

It is just a matter of time before Iran and Israel go to war. And once that happens, the U.S. will inevitably decide to intervene, but with what is happening within our military, the reduction of solider, the lack of weapons, and the WOKEnes, our help will be useless,

Could it be possible that all of these things are happening at this specific moment in human history for a reason? And could it be possible that we were warned that all of these things would be coming?

Christians are to be "Children of the Day" and not be unaware of the events happening around us.

Before the return of the LORD, we have been told this thing would be taking place. Unfortunately, most of the population has no idea what is ahead. So most of them will be blind-sided by the cataclysmic events that are rapidly coming our way. The judgment of the LORD has fallen upon us, and we fail to see this as a call to repentance. Most Christians seek to be removed from all the pain and suffering that will significantly increase before the LORD returns. We have been told Matthew 24:22 KJV: And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved, but those days shall be shortened for the elect's sake.

In the United States, excess deaths increased 22.9% between March 1, 2020, and January 2, 2021, an increase that "far exceeds annual increases observed in recent years" of 2.5% or less, data in JAMA show. Before the pandemic, mortality patterns were predictable. Deaths had been increasing slowly but steadily. Additionally, mortality followed a seasonal trend, peaking in the winter months. The death rate continues to climb. What if frightening is this only going to get worse? 

It is time to get your soul ready to meet your Maker. Time is running out. Today is the day, now is the accepted time to find the LORD.
