Going backwards.

Despite heretofore unheard of advances in technology, where we are under the illusion we’re so advanced, so further along than any people who preceded us, we are, in reality, in a New Dark Ages.

There is a great and growing darkness of heart, mind, soul, spirit, and belief enveloping the world. Especially the Western world.

This will not reverse. This will only deepen and darken further. To where every word within the prophets, within the Book of Revelation are the daily reality for the people on earth.

People can hide, they can deny, they can curse, they can continue on in their rebellion against God, they can continue on in their great delusion, but reality, the unfolding of every word within the Scriptures will continue and be revealed.

Or, individuals can finally, truly awaken. See this truth. And abandon their current beliefs, cease their rebellion and hatred of God, living lying lives, and submit, repent, and turn to God, turn to Jesus, turn to the Holy Spirit, and turn to the Holy Bible for nourishment and life — eternal life.

Pretenders need not apply because pretending won’t save you. Wearing a gold, titanium, precious metal, or bejeweled tree of shame around your neck won’t save you. A church membership won’t save you. Perfect Sunday attendance won’t save you. Mere words won’t save you.

Only true faith in the LORD Jesus Christ and a humbling, a commitment to Jesus, to the Holy Spirit, to the word of God can and will save you.

For the times are a-changin’, just as Bobby Zimmerman [Dylan] wrote and sang, for him to later sing, you’ve got to serve somebody, and it may be the devil, or it may be the Lord, but you gotta serve somebody.

For we live in dark times. Evil times. The days of Noah. A New Dark Ages.

And America won’t save the day, or you. No politician or political party will save you.

Only Jesus.

Only Jesus.

Only Jesus.

A growing share of British people are returning to religion – but not Christianity

Britain has an incredible Christian heritage, and yet modern residents of the United Kingdom are shirking the faith of their forefathers.

Some are turning to atheism or agnosticism. But a growing subset is pursuing an even darker path.

A growing share of British people leaving the Christian faith are instead exploring Paganism, according to a new report from the Institute for the Impact of Faith and Life.

The single largest religious movement in the country is unsurprisingly “away from organised religion” altogether.

Many of the respondents “left Christianity, usually towards atheism.”

But the changing religious landscape “is far more dynamic than a simple narrative of secularisation suggests.”

Beyond atheism or agnosticism, many are turning to “Paganism, Wicca, and broad spiritualism,” which all show “noticeable growth.”

“Spiritualism produces particularly strong post-transition wellbeing outcomes and appears durable over time, with low rates of exit,” the report said.

Paganism is broadly defined as a polytheistic or pantheistic religion with heavy emphasis on worship or veneration of nature.

Pagan Federation International contends that “Paganism is the ancestral religion of the whole of humanity,” since most cultures at some point worshipped a pantheon of deities closely associated with the natural world.

European Paganism “is re-emerging into explicit awareness in the modern West as the articulation of urgent contemporary religious priorities,” the organization said.

Wicca is meanwhile a subset of Paganism that is trying to recover the ancient religious practices of Europe before the arrival of the Christian gospel.

Adherents to Wicca often call themselves witches, and they often use the pentagram as a religious symbol.

Most Wiccans are located in the English-speaking Western world.

About 9 percent of respondents in Britain who left Christianity turned to Paganism or Wicca, according to the report from the Institute for the Impact of Faith and Life.

Other British people are turning to Islam and Hinduism, which is likely explained by the drastically expanded presence of the religions in the United Kingdom which has accompanied mass migration.

On the positive side, even though Christianity is enduring the greatest losses, there are also “a striking number of new or returning adherents.”

“Those who move into Christianity tend to do so not through denominational loyalty but through experiential and personalised belief, often motivated by bereavement, emotional crisis, or encounter with the divine,” the report added.
