Perhaps... perhaps not. We will see... people have been saying "this is the end" for several hundred years now... could be.
So, just give up on trying to effect positive change through the system... just roll with the tide.... ok.
Yes, as always....
Which SHOULD be the daily goal of every Christian.... should people "straighten up and act right" because this might be the end time? Or, perhaps.... just perhaps, they should be living every day as if it is the end time.... because it COULD be, for any one of us, at any time.
We agree...
Yes, at this point in history, the system is gamed so that we
cannot effect positive change. Yes you may get abortion outlawed, but that will NOT stop it from happening. And to do so means supporting those who also engage in mammon worship, self idolatry, lies and hypocrisy, abandonment of the poor and sick, and the cheating of workers. NONE of which are Biblical principals. The left deceives the world, the right deceives believers, and at this point all we can do if we want to stay true to God's Truths is to refuse to participate in the world's gamed systems. You're
not going to change it.
And there are systems in place now - global systems - that have never been in place before. True global rule and effect have never been possible until now. And not only is it possible now, it rules the world now.
And I agree on your last point... I've always held that that heart attack, that car crash, that your-ticket-is-punched moment is
your rapture, baby. And like God told the arrogant farmer, it could come for any one of us
tonight.
