The world has always been mad, they're just not hiding it anymore.
The way Charles Spurgeon put it back around 1870 is that if you are not doing your best to abide by the Bible you are most likely insane.
but then I think there is some verse or verses that mention certain people that seem to be more reasonable or 'sane'?
And what about Solomon? Are his writings more of a worldly wisdom. Seems he grew up to be a dirty old man?

We should try to focus our anger on the fact that these people are lost and they dont understand that they are puppets in need of deliverance. Its hard and I admit i fail at that. Yesterday i just kept praying "God let me be wise as a serpent and harmles as a dove" and that i think saved me from yelling back and not getting too involved. Let me share these verses from Ephesians 6
Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saint

We have to knowingky put on that armour. We dont just get dressed in it. Its a good orayer to start the day. Also psalm 91
Psalm 91 and other Psalms I would use as a prayer outline. Reading thru them I find myself saying yea that's me, yea that's me, and then no that's not me, no that's not me and then some places I see it talking about Jesus and that gets me saying should I even be trying to relate myself with Jesus. Maybe that is what we are to realize. How 'contemptible' we truly are??!! Psalm 91 gets me saying more like I should have done that but I didn't, I should have talked like that but I didn't and later that realization!

But Larry Summers, the cerebral Harvard economics professor and former Treasury secretary, has a very different view. In a long sit-down interview with Fortune at his home outside of Boston, he argued that the Fed will have to go much higher than most are expecting to cool runaway inflation. In fact his greatest worry is that the Fed will back off too soon. It will simply be too painful—too many lost jobs, too many 401(k)s crashing, too much blowback. He compares it to fighting an infection. “Most of us have learned that [when] the doctor prescribes you a course of antibiotics and you stop taking the course when you feel better rather than when the course prescribed is over, your condition is likely to reoccur. And it’s likely to be more difficult to eradicate the next time because the bacteria have become more resistant.” Summers worries that if the Fed backs off, “inflationary expectations will become entrenched,” and the eventual cure will be far more costly than shouldering what could be a shorter, shallower downturn in the months ahead. This reiterates what he said in June: “We need five years of unemployment above 5% to contain inflation—in other words, we need two years of 7.5% unemployment or five years of 6% unemployment or one year of 10% unemployment,” Summers said in a speech in London according to Bloomberg.

World Facing Unprecedented Food Crisis, ‘Multiple Famines’ Predicted by UN

David Beasley, the executive director of the U.N. World Food Program, told the U.N. Security Council last week the world is facing “a global emergency of unprecedented magnitude.”

Beasley said there was a real risk of “multiple famines” this year.

He added that 345 million people are facing starvation, with 70 million directly affected by disrupted shipments due to the war in Ukraine.

An observation.

We usually go to lunch at a different restaurant every Friday. We had the covid19 at the end of August, and were not able to go out for the first two weeks of this month, but during the last two weeks, we have noted a substantial increase in the crowd size. Before covid19, most restaurants had a long waiting list. For the past two and one half years, there haven't been any waiting lists and the restaurants were never at capacity. The last two weeks seems like things are returning to before covid19 normal. The one hold out is the price of the meal.

Right now we are eating last years food. Meat is still inexpensive because we are culling the herds. 70 million in famine indicates the poorest of the poor. It is only 1% of the world's population.

However, I suspect we are about to see a very big event from the Lord which will lead to a total collapse in the Real Estate market, stock market and bond market and thus a collapse of the world's economy. This should set the stage for the Antichrist to ride in on a white horse and mandate the mark of the beast.

2020 possibly, I was trying to figure out just who are the 'Christians'? In my mind the Amish or doctors. I called some Amish buggy shop in Ohio and the Amish proprietor told me he was hoping the 2nd Advent was imminent.

Seems that economics is a major factor leading up to war in many cases.

Why do you suspect the Lord is going to do something (in particular)? And, what might that be?

The "evil bunch" is doing-quite-nicely at messing up everything without the Lord's help.

There are many prophecies about splitting the land of Israel.

Joel 3:1-2 “For behold, in those days and at that time, when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem, I will gather all the nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. And I will enter into judgment with them there, on behalf of my people and my heritage Israel, because they have scattered them among the nations and have divided up my land,


There have been many warnings that if the US forces Israel to be divided up that God would divide the US up.

Also, from what I can best deduce we will see the seven year tribulation begin this year. I suspect it will begin with a bang. Right now they are thinking the recession will last more than a year, after this event they will realize they are in a desperate situation which is why the AntiChrist rides in on a white horse as a phony savior promising peace and security when in fact 2 billion people will soon die.

I have posted all of the warnings on my blog "Summary of Bible references concerning the rapture"

Another observation.

I don't see a sell off around here. A huge ranch near us has the largest calf crop that I have observed there in several years. Conditions have been great here for hay production. They appear to have at least twice as much hay as they had last year.

This is next years market beef. That could be effected by Midwestern corn and grain harvest this fall.

The crop looked good where I live in South Dakota. But then I drove to Topeka and everything in Iowa and Kansas was burned up.

This is incredible!

We knew there was a deep state cabal, and we knew that as bad as things are there must be winners somewhere. Well, this is stunning! A pound of turkey is about four times what it was a year ago, this is going to result in fewer turkeys being killed, especially for Thanksgiving. The deep state that everyone is talking about, it is being run by turkeys!

This is why you don't use fossil fuel for fertilizer, so your cabbages don't burst into flames.

The devil is in the details. Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
