Regrettably, tragically, even professed Christian speakers and writers do not speak or write about the root cause of the collapse of everything that is taking place. Well beyond the economic, the cultural, the political, the artistic, and the collective collapse. Doing a splendid job of gathering data, and presenting figures and statistics all of a worldly nature. The focus is on the material while omitting almost universally and entirely the spiritual.

There are exceptions, certainly, as the collapse becomes more visible and audible to more folks. There has been an increase in awareness and speaking out or writing about our spiritual decline being crucial to our troubles.

Our spiritual decline, and I write not only within America, although as America erodes and rapidly declines in belief in God, the Christian Chuch is infiltrated by those who have crept in unawares long ago [ Jude 1:4] as spiritual abandonment and adopting and approving of unsound teachings, paganism, and every worldly way has crept into churches, governments, education, business, and almost every institution worldwide.

What is happening? Is it really so serious? Could this be the revealing of the last sentence within the last paragraph, on the last page of the book of the history of earth and the people of earth?

Why is all this happening simultaneously?

There are no conincideicnes. Not really. Every action results in some sort of resulting action as a result of the initial reaction. That’s basic knowledge. Stuff everyone ought to learn as a child, in the first years of formal education, and in living daily life as an adult.

Yet so few ever pay attention. Until it’s too late.

That is the overwhelming human nature response. Then the gnashing of teeth ensues, the complaining, the anxiety, the fear, the screams or mumblings under the breath of, “How could this be happening…?”

Simple really. Very clear to understand really.

Disobedience. Rebellion. Sin. Turning from God, from Christ, from the Holy Spirit, and from the Holy Bible.

So, we now are living in the time wherein due to knowing better yet refusing to acknowledge God and the truth the people have been given over to their lustful rebellion and wickedness [Romans 1].

Do not believe this? If even moderately Bible literate and fluent in the Word of God one then knows of at least some accounts — not allegorical, or mythological — actual, factual historical accounts of individuals, communities, and nations that turned from God, or never turned to Him in their sin and rebellion and the resulting consequences.

It is foolish, ignorant and downright reckless, and dangerous to adopt a superior air, thinking anything that happened in the past, such as those factual accounts in the Word of God, could never happen again, or thinking foolishly, ignorantly, and recklessly that just because something never happened before it never will happen.

Such as a total breakdown and collapse of foundations worldwide. Foundations that have been established since the beginning. Being removed. With malicious, evil voracious intent.

With most refusing to see the legions of darkness acting in such a way.

There has been an increasing darkness, a choking darkness gathering and gaining over the face of the world for decades now. Coming to a head.

And the collapse of most everything is coming. Not just the economic collapse.

And all this has been brought about by the most important collapse within individuals. The spiritual collapse.

The most neglected, denied, or wrongly worked part, the most important part, within every person to ever live.

And what are the overwhelming majority at work now with regard to their spiritual selves?

And folks ask why is all this happening? Can this really be happening or that bad? How could it get any worse?

Just wait. Because it’s going to get a lot worse.

As the people are given over to their unrighteous, wicked, evil minds.

Exactly as the Word of God tells us, forewarned us it would come.

So, Christian, it’s time now to know if such knowledge has escaped in the past. It’s time to speak, to write, to live as instructed in the Word of God. In obedience. In the whole armour of God [Ephesians 6] in the Way, the Truth, and the Life of Light — the Lord Jesus Christ.

Aware. Preparing. Not living in fear.

Spreading the gospel. While we are blessed with time. Before the Lord returns.

In the meantime, whenever He does return as He will, as He promised there are going to be trials, suffering, tribulation, and things never seen, heard, or witnessed at any other time in world history.

Are you ready?

Really?

If not it’s now time. Don’t be as those waiting for the Groom to appear and the wedding to commence and thinking you had time to get the oil for your lamps. The door is closing. No one knows the year, the month, the day, or the hour — but look, listen, heed — for the door is closing.

Time to fill your lamp with oil, keep it filled and the fire of faith within your heart aflame, aware, and ready.

And if this all seems nonsense to you? Please, empty your mind of past preconceptions, what you’ve accumulated in living however long on this earth, all the dung, all the stuff that clogs and can lead to confusion, doubts, so many questions…and simply pray to God for help. For guidance. For the way of explanation and understanding to be revealed to you. And pray this faithfully.

Approach the Lord, approach the Word of God as the psalmist did;

Open my eyes, that I may behold
wondrous things out of your law.

Psalam 119:18

As you acquire, with a clear, peaceful, calm heart and mind the Word of God and open that Bible carefully, slowly and take time. However long it takes. For eternity is dependent upon this — so earthly time no matter the duration is of little consequence — to finally, truly come to learn the Truth. To for the first time in life come out from the whirlwind, the vortex of swirling life which is darkness though it may not appear as such when within its throes, and come out of the darkness of the world, what has been accumulated and accepted — and come to accept, trust, come to know the way to Light, to Life — eternal life — to the Truth, and that Way is only through the Jesus Christ. When making Him truly Lord of one’s life everything becomes clear.

And as everything around collapses and the world goes crazy you find there is nothing to fear.

For you now see and know that the Lord has been near. Just waiting for you.

And no matter what happens here?

It’ll all pass. All be forever forgotten. In the heavenly eternity to come.

And the alternative is just as real as eternal life in heaven.

Yes, there is a place known and called hell. It’s as real as the city, town, village, or place where you presently reside.

Collapse? Yes, everything is eroding and breaking down. The way is being made ready for every word within the Word of God to be fulfilled.

Don’t wait until the last few words and when every eye shall see, every ear hear, and every knee bow, and Jesus after defeating the Antichrist, the false prophet, and the armies of the world sets His precious feet once again on the Mount of Olives outside of Jerusalem. Because it’ll be too late then [ see Revelation 19].

Or, too late if remaining in the dark, in disobedience up to the last breath taken, the last heartbeat felt, the last thing seen and remembers before physical death occurs. Without faith, without being renewed of mind and spirit in Christ at that time? Well, then only the second death awaits.

Not eternity in heaven with the Lord and all that will be.

Talk about a severe collapse…

It Isn’t Just The Economy That Is On The Verge Of Collapse…

May 31, 2023

By Michael Snyder

Reprinted from The Economic Collapse

We are in far more trouble than most people realize.  In recent months, our rapidly growing economic problems have gotten a lot of attention, and without a doubt our economy is heading into really hard times.  The greatest debt bubble in the history of the world has started to implode, and the end of this “mega-cycle” is going to cause an immense amount of pain.  But if every other element of our society was strong, we could survive that.  It may surprise a lot of you to hear me say that, but it is true.  If all that we were facing was an economic collapse, it would cause an enormous amount of turmoil in this country but we would make it through.

Unfortunately, we are not just facing an economic collapse.

I like to call what we are facing “the everything collapse”, because virtually every element of our society is steadily breaking down right in front of our eyes.

So once our economic and financial systems implode, it won’t just be a matter of patching them up and returning to “normal”, because “normal” doesn’t exist anymore.

Let me give you an example of what I am talking about.  The president of Giant Food just admitted to the Washington Post that theft at his stores is completely out of control…

Giant Food president Ira Kress said that theft and violence have risen significantly over the past several years.

“To say [theft has] risen tenfold in the last five years would not be an understatement,” Kress noted, according to the Washington Post, which also reported that the man said that violence has “increased exponentially.”

Giant has more than 160 locations, with stores located in Maryland; Virginia; Washington, D.C.; and Delaware, according to its website.

When I was much younger, I would often shop at Giant Food.

In those days, I never witnessed a single shoplifting incident.

But now systematic looting is happening on an industrial scale all over the nation.  In fact, I recently wrote an entire article about the fact that theft is now costing U.S. retailers about 100 billion dollars a year.

Meanwhile, other forms of crime are spiking as well.  Sadly, violent crimes are increasingly being committed by kids that are extremely young…

As soon as he confronted the masked youth who seemed to be trying to rob him with a gun last week on Irving Street in Northwest Washington, Ryan Cummins knew the assailant was young.

“When I shoved him, he weighed nothing,” Cummins said in an interview…

Police said the youth they arrested on Saturday in Cummins’s case and two nearby robberies is even younger: 11. He is among the youngest arrested in the District this year in an armed robbery…

Did you catch that last part?

That kid was “among the youngest” arrested for armed robbery this year.

So how old was the youngest?

On the west coast, conditions are even worse.

The following is how one San Francisco resident named Seema Gokhale recently described what living in the heart of the city is like these days…

Speaking with Fox News Digital, Seema Gokhale who lives near the city’s Tenderloin neighborhood expressed, “It really feels post-apocalyptic. Something needs to be done. We have to make this a livable place. I describe it as a hellhole right now. If I wasn’t a homeowner and hadn’t grown up in the area and there wasn’t a strong job market in the area, I would leave.”

“I walk by people regularly and it feels horrible,” she said as drug addicts have “needle tracks all over their arms and legs and toes. I see people with rotting limbs because they’re living on the streets.”

“It honestly feels like I’m in a place that’s been in a zombie apocalypse. It’s like a dystopia. It really feels like a dystopian reality right now where I see boarded-up storefronts. I see people defecating on the streets,” Gokhale detailed.

Sadly, this is the direction that the entire country is going.

Up in Portland, voters are completely and totally fed up with the rampant social decay that has been steadily growing all around them…

Months of stepping past sidewalk homeless camps and open-air drug markets have taken their toll on residents of Portland, Oregon.

Voters there have delivered a stunning rebuke to officials of the Democrat-run hipster city, with three quarters calling homelessness ‘an out-of-control disaster.’

The survey, commissioned by People for Portland, a conservative advocacy group, found that more than two thirds of voters wanted to clear the streets by forcing drug addicts into rehab.

But no matter what our politicians do, the social decay gets worse with each passing year.

And that is because our entire culture has been completely transformed.  According to one recent survey, only 16 percent of Americans now attend church at least once per week…

The number of Americans who attend church once a week fell from 19 percent in 2019 to 16 percent last year, says the survey of some 6,600 adults across all 50 states.

This means that 84 percent of us do not attend church at least once per week at this point.

If we could go back and tell Americans from 100 years ago this, they would be absolutely floored.

Of course the truth is that we are a completely different country than we were 100 years ago.

Many of us like to think that we are superior to every generation that has come before us, but the reality of the matter is that just about every aspect of our society is rapidly getting worse.

If we are having this much difficulty keeping order now, what are things going to look like once our economic and financial systems have fully imploded and tens of millions of Americans are deeply suffering?

You might want to think about that, because “the everything collapse” is only going to pick up steam in the weeks and months ahead…
