As the world turns away from God and His Son, Christ Jesus, who is God, events in this world are going to become much worse. God told those who care to know what will happen, it's going to happen. For those who love Christ, rejoice, Christs return draws nearer every day.
Agreed. He tells us in his word about the horrendous events that will happen more and more as time passes.
He also tells us that even some of his own will turn away from him. And we definitely see these prophesies coming to pass before our very eyes.
It's a difficult time for most of us, so I find comfort in knowing his promises --- of where I'm going after this life ends. I was told on substack just the other day that I have hopium and nothing else.
Funny how I could say that I'm an owl and not a woman and that person would probably not contest me, but this?
It’s interesting that your first 11 points relate, in one way or another, to the biblical “pharmakeia” by way of both prescription and illegal drugs. Suicide rates have risen at the same time as antidepressant use. And then the healthcare industry decided to lower the age recommendations, so now children are being prescribed antidepressants and anxiety drugs. The connection to suicide and random shootings should be obvious.
All human systems have baked in decay rates. In any large grouping, psychopaths unburdened by morals or ethics, will rise much faster to power. And ring fence that power with yes people sociopaths. And due to concupiscence, all Theocracies eventually end in Lawfare Tyrannies. Like the Scribes and Pharisees that crucified The Truth for self serving agendas. Using moral relativist lawyers Jesus warned us all about. Lawyers that have a monopoly on all branches of Federal and most state governments. Owning 100% of Judicial and Legislatives. And 85+% of Legislatures.
While internally they are trying to end around the Establishment Clause with the American Religion of pseudo science Scientism, the WEF GoreBullists are trying to usurp sovereignty with “Health Emergency” Scientism Lawfare.
While the Church Jesus founded stumbled as a Theocracy, the actual Church has outlived Empires. Because over time, the Holy Spirit self corrects human mistakes. Ergo, to the extent We the People respect and worship God is the God of Life, not death, our Republic will survive. If we allow the Cult of Death to corrupt and destroy our society, we will fall as every other Empire has. Our society survives based on the based on guidelines provided by the Church. Like the real definition of Social Justice, not the either/or cherry picked versions of both extremes. Providing for Common Good AND preserving the dignity of the individual. Not Marxist common good tyranny only. Not libertarian anarchy only. A common sense 3D approach. Instead of binary 2D FlatLanderism. Striving towards 4D time lapse wisdom infused best practices decision making. Unifying around inalienable rights from our Creator.
And yet All Things are possible with God. The Republic doesn’t have to follow the rise and fall cycle. IF we learn for His Story plus history.
Or we can Karl Marx it again with Duck Soup’s Marx Bros;
“I don’t want to be a student of history. I (who thinks I am the center of the universe) want to make history.”~ Karl Marx ‘splaing why Marxism has a 100% failure rate.
Thanks to Hawking’s historic mistake, humanity now has proof the earth, the sun and Atheists are Not centers of our universe. “When I (Hawking) die, all the lights will go out.” They are all still on, even the lights in our dreams.
In hindsight, there can’t possibly be 8+ human centers of Our universe. And due to Infinity (proved by Einstein, Hawking et al) not having boundaries, a center can never be defined in the first place.
I disagree in part with Mr. Toynbee. We aren't committing suicide. Some of us are being pushed to it.
We're disconnecting from each other, it's frightening.", Denis Villanueve
How true! How sad! Some of us may be trying to dodge this tidal wave, seeking to retain what small piece of humanity, normalcy, and life that we can, as we struggle to keep a grasp on the life raft. even as we're swept under and then back up again. Over and over. But it seems more difficult to do day by day. How much can a soul take???!!
Looking back as I awaken more and more every hour, I'm gathering that it was meant to be this way. Many/most of us are caught in their system, a harsh, cold, lonely deadly one whose aim is de-humanization and then destruction.
Yes, things are bleak. Michael, you remind us that most every day, but hey, let's give it all we've got!
This is all mostly irrelevant. Rome was a cesspool of immorality and violence against the helpless, and persisted after these problems were partly addressed by the adoption of Christianity. What killed Rome is going to be the same things that kill us, namely incompetence in government and economic policies that just made things worse and worse.
"If we stay on the road that we are currently on, our society will die."
Even the church is dying.
Paul predicted this in Romans 11:17-25.
Before the Lord returns the gentile church due to our arrogance, that was not headed.
God did not spare the natural branches, He will not spare the wild branches (gentile Church) either.
Then Paul tells of a great mystery ( new revelation from God). That the partial and temporary hardening of Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles have come in. Then the Holy Spirit will move on Israel and that is happening how, Israel is experiencing an explosion of the Gospel that has not happened in 2000 years.
But on the other hand the Temple Mount Faithful are ready to rebuild the third temple not for Jesus Christ but another messiah, an imitation, substitute messiah/ false prince of peace.
John 5:43 I have come in My Father’s name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, you will receive him.
They are ready to receive another Messiah.
We cant confuse this nation and it's earthly systems of Govt that provided the church the freedom to preach the gospel all around the world like never before.
Our system has been rife with corruption and deceit from the very beginning. But God used it for His purposes to spread the Gospel.
Now the church is walking away from the Gospel and govt has abandoned everything we were initially given.
again Paul's great mystery
"that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in;"
we are seeing that played out right before our eyes.
You said,
But if we reverse course and start doing what is right with all our hearts, anything is possible.
(when you say "we", are talking about the Nation of America or the American Church)?
We can't win favor with God by doing what is right. We need to repent of our own self-righteousness and put our faith in Christ. That does not come by simply we making a Choice, it comes from the Holy Spirit drawing His elect to Himself, we can't do it on our own. This is why we have failed. We have tried to do this in our own strength and no wonder are burning out.
We were once a light to the entire world, and we can be that light again.
(Again, who is "we" the nation or the church)? Who was the Light of the world? The Govt or the Church? Neither, Christ and Christ alone is the light of the world, by living out and preaching the Gospel.
This was never a "Christian" nation, that acknowledged Jesus Christ being fully Gog and fully man has become King of Kings and Lord of Lords and is the Ruler of this nation, and that our Govt was committed as a nation to Honor and follow Christ in governing.
We didn't do that.
We made "we the people" the rulers of this nation not God. No wonder Patric Henry hated the Constitution, being a Christian he saw the great evil it was and now that evil is playing itself out.
People are exercising their rights of liberty and freedom to find happiness. And look what we are doing with it.
No wonder God's hand of Judgement is on this nation and the church, judgement begins with the house of God and it is coming.
Change is the only constant in the universe - Aristotle... and we are on the flux of many radical changes.. may feel like death to many... think of it like this.. like milk.. when it settles cream rises to the top ( our present 1%) yet when lots of agitation happen, we then create butter... we are in process to create butter .. 🧈 creamy, tasty, even, smooth, good for everyone... too bad our world process will be very challenging. Too bad that the ugly is now in our face, but it is not more than we can handle.
Societies, civilizations, cults and cultures are destroyed by government. They all come and go and the only constant is that they were murdered by GOVERNMENT. Looking at those 16 signs of failure, most are created and enforced by government laws, practices and dictates.
Over the last 5 years we have had a government that has tried to murder us using poison mRNA injections for starters and most people bought right into it all hook, line and syringe and many still do. Most of these problems stem from the DC Swamp and there is no reason to believe they will be reversed by the DC Swamp.
Your government HATES you because they have made you into a future liability and we know that "they" never accept responsibility for their actions...NEVER.
#15 In the 1940s, almost 80 percent of all Americans belonged to a church or some other type of religious institution. Today, that figure is down to just 45 percent…
To the degree that church attendance has decline in recent decades is largely a result of today's "modern" churches own doing. So many churches in America have abandoned sound Biblical doctrine and teaching that they no longer reflect what was once considered traditional Christianity or the Judaeo/Christian principles upon which America was founded.
Recognizing the apostasy that has infested today's churches, many Americans feel they can no longer find spiritual guidance, fulfillment or direction by attending church in America, so they choose instead to study, pray & worship exclusively in the privacy and safety of their own homes.
At an abortion clinic in Maryland, a Presbyterian pastor, Baptist minister and Jewish cantor burned incense as part of a “ritual blessing” in order “to show that religion could be a source of support for abortion rights,” according to the New York Times.

This is my truth! Who is anyone to question??
Hang on. Times are gonna get bumpier
Without father headship, a civilization/nation devolving into DECIVILIZED state.
Regardless, the relentless quest for sexual politics, woman equality and empowerment, continues at an ever more frenzied pace.

God Bless America, pray it forward.
To your point, I think our "empire" is falling.
The signs are everywhere. All one need to do is look, or read lists like the one here.

"where abortion is banned"
sorry but IIRC no state has banned abortion but rather have introduced restrictions
