End Time Prophecies
Wanda:
Micah 7 (NIV)
1 What misery is mine!
I am like one who gathers summer fruit
at the gleaning of the vineyard;
there is no cluster of grapes to eat,
none of the early figs that I crave.
2 The faithful have been swept from the land;
not one upright person remains.
Everyone lies in wait to shed blood;
they hunt each other with nets.
3 Both hands are skilled in doing evil;
the ruler demands gifts,
the judge accepts bribes,
the powerful dictate what they desire—
they all conspire together.
4 The best of them is like a brier,
the most upright worse than a thornhedge.
The day God visits you has come,
the day your watchmen sound the alarm.
Now is the time of your confusion.
5 Do not trust a neighbor;
put no confidence in a friend.
Even with the woman who lies in your embrace
guard the words of your lips.
6 For a son dishonors his father,
a daughter rises up against her mother,
a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law—
a man’s enemies are the members of his own household.
This is shockingly close to what we see in society today.
It’s almost as if Micah was watching the nightly news and seeing the content on social media. It’s as if he’s seen the latest movies churned out at an increasingly immoral Hollywood. Each generation is exposed to more and more of the raw brutality, illicit sex, and escalating violence in movies, video games, and sports.
What used to be PG or PB-13 was rated R about 10-15 years ago. That's a pretty rapid Decline , and I can't help but wonder what it will be like in another 10-15 years with things in such rapid descent.
Here in the US, we have cities that are so violent, that it's not uncommon to see bodies in the streets, on a daily basis, and even children walk past them without giving any notice, because It's become their norm. Many of our schools are becoming more like war zones instead of learning institutions.
Parents are killing their children, children are killing their patents - husbands and wives are killing eachother to get out of marriages instead of divorcing, and all of it is becoming the norm.
The simmering pot is nearing a slow boil.
Joel:
Revelation 12:12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
Joel

Not only that, but people delight in these things. They call it "entertainment." Don't know what is so entertaining about great evils, and encouraging others to do the same.
Along with that, is to talk of the great narcissistic attitude of culture. And the horrible effect it leaves people feeling about themselves, especially younger generations.
Oh, don't forget about today's "music." Don't even get me started on the perversion of Ariana Grande's "God is a woman."

maybe it is the spirit within, but i have totally lost my taste for the garbage that is put out; movies, television, can't watch sports anymore, i can't even listen to music anymore, and i used to LOVE music. can't read the papers, can't stomach the nonsense. don't do facebook because i see it as a bunch of trash, don't do twitter for the same reasons. i have found myself left with very few things in this evil age; i work, i trade, i read this forum, i watch some youtube stuff by a few folks that teach the salvation of all, and i watch videos about eating a vegan diet. which, i guess is enough to keep me busy, but...
come, Lord Jesus Christ, come!

I find myself feeling the same way, and my distaste for worldly things has only increased, especially lately.
In terms of music, I love music, but I'm okay. Since 99% of mine has no vocals and lyrics, and is less known, don't have to worry about today's evils in music.
