I’m back to my saying that “I never thought I’d see the day”—and you fill in the blank as to what. The list goes on and on. You know you have a mental list as well!

As a young adult, I could not have imagined the Western world celebrating every aberration imaginable. Now, we are told men can have babies. Little children are being mutilated as they supposedly change genders. America just celebrated “pride month” when we should have been using that time to repent for our depravity.

I didn’t think I would see the day when most politicians would have their own agenda that will benefit them, at the expense of the country. And, that the majority of them prefer complete government control and care less about the will of the people, about freedom, or about liberty.

Could you have imagined artificial intelligence surpassing human intelligence in a few years? Could this be like the aberrations in the days of Noah, but upgraded thanks to technology?

I knew America had to decline to make way for global government, but I could never have imagined that I would be alive to see her ignominious implosion. Should the Lord tarry, the country could never survive her obscene debt and greedy corruption that your children will pay for. I personally doubt that the Lord will tarry! He has to be getting weary of this planet and plans to finish His eternal plan soon.

I never thought I would see the day when a U.S. president would be the laughingstock of the world. What are those around Mr. Biden thinking as the leader of the free world stumbles, in every sense of the word? What kind of corruption even allowed this to happen? Wouldn’t those who care about him want to put a stop to this?

I could not have fathomed that the globalists would induce starvation on much of the world and intentionally put farmers out of business to save the earth and engineer the climate. What kind of lunacy is this? Perhaps this is a part of the end-time strong delusion. And, the sad fact is, we are literally worshipping the creation rather than the creator (Romans 1:25).

I never thought I would see the day when lockdowns would become a part of normal society! First it was Covid lockdowns. Now I am learning about climate lockdowns. I guess the mantra is, “you will go nowhere and be happy!” Who gave these nutty globalists the authority to ruin lives? Why are so few pushing back?

I didn’t think I would experience such dynamic times, all predicted by the Bible, yet only a small percentage of churches will talk about this! And while many, thankfully, teach the Bible, they will not inform their people about the issues of the day that are earth shaking! As a result, the people cannot understand the times as did the sons of Issachar in I Chronicles 12.

Could you have imagined a time when a certain political party saw “faith as an unfortunate feature of a backward society”? It is faith in God that is the bedrock of every successful society!

I could go on for endless pages with further examples, sadly. The Bible is blunt that the last days would be perilous and filled with unruly and selfish people. It says society would be “given over” (Romans 1). We just didn’t think it would be this bad.

They would think only of themselves (II Timothy 3:2). They would be always learning but never coming to a knowledge of truth (2 Timothy 3:7).

They would do what is right in their own eyes (Judges 21:25). They would be in favor of everything unnatural because they would be without natural affection (II Timothy 3:1-3).

Money would control people. Self would be exalted. Not even parents would get proper treatment. It’s not a pretty picture. It’s surely an upside-down world!

But, God placed you and me in it for such a time as this! We are here on assignment and not by accident. We can be the salt and light needed for our times! The followers of Jesus Christ are to shine no matter what the circumstances. Hang on a little longer. Your presence is needed! And it is the darkest before the dawn—the dawn being the glorious Rapture of the church when we leave this wicked planet behind!
