Our Collapsing Society
There are two forces
battling in our society, one force builds develops and endeavours to leave the
world in a better condition than before, more productive, more affluent and
more peaceful. The other force is selfish and violent it vandalises, spreads
graffiti, riots and whines when its demands are not met, aggressively attacking
those who will not comply with its aims of building a global controlling empire
eliminating personal liberty and suppressing religion.
Most people cannot
understand how the world has come to this, but Biblical scholars are aware that
this has been predicted in scripture. The most obvious undeniable reference to
this state of the world is apparent in the book of Daniel, when Daniel interprets
Nebuchadnezzar’s dream. The dream describes a statue in which each of the
succeeding empires that follow that time is recognisable as a portion of the
statue, to anyone who has studied history. The final empire is described as one
partly of iron and partly of miry clay and which cannot combine to be a united
society.
This description of a
violently divided society so aptly portrays today’s western societies that it
adds validity to the Biblical narrative. Much of the world’s population today doesn’t
have any faith in the Bible and see it as just a collection of ancient myths
and impossible predictions. It is probable that the people of ancient Tyre felt
the same, until just as the prophets predicted in 332 BCE their city was torn
down by Alexander the Great and thrown into the sea to make a causeway to their
island fortress and to destroy every man, woman and child from Tyre.
Alexander’s action ensured that many cities surrendered at his approach rather
than face a similar fate and today fishermen cast their nets over the ruins of
Tyre just as the prophets predicted.
I have detailed these
prophecies to highlight the fact that the Bible also prophesies the outcome of
today’s violent societal collapse. As scriptures have already been correct so
often we can have confidence that the future predictions will also be fulfilled
and at the rate events are unfolding the time is very short. We cannot know the
exact dates or sequence but should watch for a number of improbable happenings;
when you see these occurring you will know that it is as predicted.
The divided society
will be shattered by “a great rock from heaven”, the description of this sounds
like an asteroid strike which we know is a natural but unpredictable event. An
invasion of Israel is also predicted but this time the invasion will be stopped
by supernatural means, another unpredictable and for many an unbelievable
event. There will also be extreme earthquakes and the simultaneous eruption of
several large volcanoes causing the sky to be darkened, a visible supernova and
the result of all this spectacular activity will be that we will see the sun set
and rise and set again in a period of only sixteen hours. I know of no one else
who has made this prediction or interpretation but I am confident that these
unusual events will come to pass.
