What In The World Has Happened To Our Society?

Editor’s Note: Holy Scripture tells us what the signs will look like in the end days. But are you looking, listening and seeing?

“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2- For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3- Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4- Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5- Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away..”

-2 Tim 3:1-5 (KJV)

What In The World Has Happened To Our Society?

By Michael Snyder – March 2023

Things weren’t always this horrible.  Once upon a time, America’s shiny new cities were the envy of the entire world.  Our citizens dressed sharply, they treated one another with respect, and they worked incredibly hard.  But now our country is teeming with extremely slothful degenerates that want everything handed to them on a silver platter.  Rampant greed is everywhere that you look, crime is completely out of control, we are facing the worst drug crisis in the entire history of our nation, millions of our fellow citizens are absolutely seething with hatred for one another, and those that attempt to stand up for what is right are considered to be the problem.  We should be deeply grieved by what has happened to our society, because it truly is a great tragedy.

Let me give you an example of what I am talking about.  On Wednesday, Matt Walsh published an excerpt from a letter that an infantryman sent to his family during the Civil War…

 

Can you write like that?

I certainly can’t.

Those of us in this generation like to think of ourselves as the pinnacle of human history, but the truth is that we can’t even compare to those that have come before us.

Let me give you another example.  More than a century ago, the streets of New York City were filled with extremely civilized people that dressed incredibly well when it was time to go out into the public arena…

 

But now New York City is a crime-ridden, drug-infested hellhole.

 

At this point, drug overdoses account for 80 to 85 percent of all accidental deaths in the Big Apple…

 

Is this “progress”?

I don’t think so.

In Portland, conditions have gotten so bad that more than 2,600 businesses have left the downtown area over the past few years…

Business owners are fleeing Portland in droves amid a pronounced rise in crime and homelessness, officials in the Democratic stronghold have revealed.

Public data shows that since the pandemic, more than 2,600 downtown businesses have filed changes of address with the U.S. Postal Service to leave their downtown ZIP codes.

Several big-name employers, from Unitus Community Credit Union to Umpqua Bank, have been among the mass exodus, carried out by owners who have taken issue with the rising crime levels and homelessness – and the city’s failure to address it.

Apparently officials want even more businesses to leave, because now a bill that would give homeless individuals $1,000 a month “in no-strings-attached cash” is being seriously considered…

Oregon is considering giving its vast homeless and low-income population $1,000 in no-strings-attached cash.

The bill was proposed last month by woke State Senator Wlnsvey Campos – who was among those calling to abolish the police in the summer of 2020 when the city of Portland was besieged by protesters – and Rep. Khanh Pham.

If they actually do this, most of that money will go straight to the drug dealers.

Down in San Francisco, drug addicts are fueling a crime spree that is worse than anything that the city has ever experienced.

When one woman recently went into the city for a yoga class, she was told that the building “had been broken into six times in two months”

Yesterday I went to a yoga class in San Francisco for the first time in years.

They had the front door locked (had to be buzzed in), a sign on it that said “no cash on premises,” and the woman at the front desk said they had been broken into six times in two months.

Over in Los Angeles, violent crime has become such a problem that extremely expensive “executive protection dogs” have become a very hot commodity

The elite animals — typically German shepherds, Belgian Malinois, Dobermans, cane corsos or a mix of those breeds — are marketed under names such as “personal canine bodyguards” and “executive protection dogs.” Amid a spate of high-profile crimes in upscale parts of Los Angeles, they have become highly sought after among the rich, many of whom worry about being targeted.

Protection dogs, they say, provide an immediate layer of front-line defense, unlike security cameras (which merely show an intruder on the property, and only if the devices happen to be pointed in the right direction) and home alarm systems (which can be bypassed or ignored). Even if police are summoned, they can be slow to respond, if at all. So homeowners who can afford it are being more proactive.

This is the world that we live in now.

But most Americans don’t seem to care.

We are literally living in an “idiocracy” in which people are dropping dead all around us, but most Americans are so far gone that they can’t even understand what is happening.

Of course it isn’t just the United States that is facing such problems.

Up in Canada, crime rates are absolutely exploding thanks to the reckless policies of the Trudeau regime…

The Toronto Police Service data portal shows that Toronto experienced a 17.2 per cent spike in overall major crimes in 2022, including a 9.8 per cent increase in assaults, a 44.2 per cent spike in auto thefts, 6.5 per cent growth in break and enters, a 28.5 per cent jump in robbery, an 11.3 per cent increase in sexual violence, and a 35.8 per cent gain in theft over cases.

And in many areas of South America crime has risen to levels that we have never seen before

Countries across Latin America and the Caribbean continued to experience high murder rates in 2022, as cocaine production reached new heights, the fragmentation of gangs continued, and the flow of weapons across the region grew more acute.

For Ecuador, the situation was downright catastrophic. Historic amounts of cocaine entering the country fueled violence, with murders skyrocketing as gangs targeted judicial officials and killed police officers at record rates.

That cocaine came largely from Colombia, where recently inaugurated President Gustavo Petro has promised to shift away from the war on drugs in favor of efforts to achieve a “Total Peace” with the country’s rebel and criminal groups.

Our entire world is deeply sick.

We have turned our backs on what is good, and we continue to run after evil as rapidly as we can.

As a result, our society is a complete and total mess.

We truly are living during one of the most critical times in all of human history, and we desperately need to change course.

Unfortunately, most people seem to think that everything is just fine, and so they see no need for a new direction.

Death, Destruction And Violence Everywhere You Look…

Editor’s Note: Holy Scripture tells us what the signs will look like in the end days. But are you looking, listening and seeing?

“Listen to the word of the Lord, you sons of Israel, Because the Lord has a case against the inhabitants of the land, For there is no faithfulness, nor loyalty,
Nor knowledge of God in the land. 2- There is oath-taking, denial, murder, stealing, and adultery. They employ violence, so that bloodshed follows bloodshed. 3- Therefore the land mourns, And everyone who lives in it languishes Along with the animals of the field and the birds of the sky, And even the fish of the sea disappear.” -Hos 4:1-3 (NASB)

“I will utterly sweep away everything from the face of the earth,” declares the Lord. 3- I will sweep away man and beast; I will sweep away the birds of the heavens and the fish of the sea, and the rubble with the wicked. I will cut off mankind from the face of the earth,” declares the Lord.” – Zep 1:2-3 (ESV)

Death, Destruction And Violence Everywhere You Look…

By Michael Snyder – Feb 24, 2023

I have been called a “doom and gloomer” because I talk honestly about the things that are going on in our world.  But I am not actually a “doom and gloomer” at all.  In fact, I am wildly optimistic about the future.  Every piece of “bad news” is also a piece of “great news” if you look at it from the proper perspective.  All of human history has been building up to a grand crescendo, and we get to be here for it.  So even though there is death, destruction and violence all around us, this is not the end.  Once we get through the “birth pains” that we are experiencing now, everything will be completely different.  But it is certainly true that we have a whole lot of pain to go through before we get there.  The “perfect storm” that we are experiencing now will greatly intensify, and one major crisis is just going to lead directly into the next one.

Let me give you an example of what I am talking about.  We were originally told that the unprecedented environmental disaster in East Palestine, Ohio only killed a few thousand animals, but now officials are admitting that more than 40,000 animals have died

Last week, officials said they believed that the Ohio train derailment had killed 3,500 aquatic animals. On Thursday, they provided a new estimate, pushing the total to more than 43,700 animals within a 5-mile area.

Mary Mertz, director of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, said on Thursday that the new estimate comes amid updated calculations.

Sadly, the final death toll is likely to be far, far higher.

Meanwhile, it is being reported that a mysterious “white dust” has been falling out of the sky in West Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania…

At this point, it is unclear if this “white dust” has anything to do with the disaster in East Palestine.

Hopefully there is no connection.

One thing that I have noticed is that many people will descend into fits of rage at the smallest provocation these days.

Right now, a video of a student beating a teacher to a pulp because she took away his Nintendo Switch is going viral all over social media

Sadly, this is far from an isolated incident.

At this point, wild school brawls have become increasingly common all over America.

Here is just one example

Of course our schools are just a reflection of what is going on in our society as a whole.

Violence is everywhere, and media coverage of one major shooting just bleeds over into coverage of the next one.

Just a little while ago, a shopping mall in Syracuse, New York had to be evacuated because of shots that were fired there…

Over in Europe, officials are trying to figure out why excess deaths are absolutely soaring all over the continent.

What in the world could possibly be causing this to happen?

Speaking of Europe, someone apparently decided that it would be a good idea for the U.S. to fly B-52 bombers that are capable of dropping nuclear warheads within a couple hundred kilometers of the Russian border

And a military official in Austria just publicly admitted something that he was not supposed to admit

As I discussed earlier today, we really are on the brink of global war.

The Chinese claim they want peace, but they have been preparing for war too

Meanwhile, on Russian television pundits are actually talking about “waking up” the Yellowstone supervolcano with nukes…

Over the past several years, we have seen so much death, destruction and violence.

But so much more is on the way.

We truly do live in apocalyptic times, and I fully expect global events to accelerate even more during the months ahead.

Those Who Identify as Christians … Do You Really Know God?

Do You Really Know God?

“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. .” -Matt 7:21-23 (KJV)

A sobering title for today’s message indeed, yet the question begs to be answered in your life and mine and that is do we really know Him? Or do we just think we do? Many people today that are called Christians and go through the actions are really not; they don’t know who the Lord is. They go to church, sing songs and even raise their hands but do they really know the Creator God? I see and hear of many who attend church and make it a point to be there every Sunday but how do they live the rest of the week? Do they pray daily, read their Bibles daily, confess and repent of their sin daily or do they just think about these things and never put any feet to their belief.

“For many are called, but few are chosen.” -Matt 22:14 (KJV)

In our culture and society God Almighty and Jesus Christ, His only begotten Son are fading fast from our lives. In America, He has been kicked out of almost every facet of our lives – public and private. We no longer need Him as our society has replaced Him with the gods of wealth, prosperity and artificial happiness. In other once Godly nations, His name is all but forgotten. In America, we have all the characteristics of all the seven churches described in Revelation chapters 2 and 3. Most churches today have the name of God on them but inside, the people just go through the [ritual] motion, the Sunday ritual, and the word of God is not there – therefore, the people are spiritually dead. If they were alive in Christ many sinners would be coming to the knowledge of God at every service. You see many shall be called but Jesus said that only a few (little or small) would be chosen. These are extremely sobering words.

Do we just go through the motions of knowing and servicing God?

 

Another question for us is do we just go through the motions of believing in God, perhaps so other people will see us. But our hearts, our minds, and our souls do not personally know Him? Consider:

  • How many times do we make time to read God’s word the Bible, study it and listen to Him speak to us?
  • How many times do we seek to know as much as we can about Him?

For I desire steadfast love and not sacrifice, the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.” -Hosea 6:6 (ESV)

Think back to the time when you were dating your spouse and all the things that you did to know more about him/her. How many times your heart leaped when you spent time with him/her? And you just wanted to be with him/her all the time. Jesus said to the church of Ephesus (Rev 2:4) that they lost their first love (meaning Christ) and they were to repent. Are today’s churches and people any different? Do the preachers preach only love, mercy, and grace and neglect teaching how to know God through a personal relationship with Him? Do they preach about sin and iniquity? We will never really know God without knowing how sin separates us from Him.

Folks, we must seek the Lord while He may be found and call upon Him daily. We must strive to stay on the narrow road that leads to Him and eternal life (Luke 13:24). This is an everyday journey, shunning evil and amending our ways to serve the living and Holy God.

“Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon” -Isa 55:6-7 (KJV)

Consider where you are at right now today in your relationship with the Lord. Know that He may call your name anytime to step into eternity; will you be ready to hear the words “Well done thy good and faithful servant” (Matt 25:23) or will you be ushered into the waiting room of hell (Hades) waiting for the Great White Throne judgment described in Matt 25:31-46  and Rev 20:11-15? And can you say right now while it is today, that you do know Almighty God and you do have a personal relationship with Him? If you don’t know, it’s time for some serious prayer and soul searching. It’s time to examine yourself and see if you are really born again for in 2 Cor 13:5 we are urged to see if we are of the faith.

Please, I urge and encourage you to seek to know Jesus Christ today beloved for there are no guarantees of even our next breath, let alone tomorrow.

“For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, even penetrating as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.” -Heb 4:12 (NASB)
