I really didn't believe it could happen in my lifetime. I prayed it wouldn't happen in my kids' lifetime. But my grandkids are showing me that it's happening now. Not just in their day, but in mine.
The Bible depicts a time, during the breakdown of society in the last period of history as we know it, in which forbidden things would become accepted, even praised and promoted. It's a specific picture of a decaying, irreligious world in which long-accepted rules of society and behavior are largely forsaken, a world in which all time-honored boundaries disappear, and societal anarchy takes over.
The prophecy is so detailed and specific that it reads like tomorrow's newspaper – which it actually is. It's the first chapter of the book of Romans, and it's actually written in the past tense, as if God has seen the future and through the writer is describing it as if it has already happened. In case you haven't read it lately, here is a portion of it:
Professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man – and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.
Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves,
Who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature.
Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.
And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting:
Being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evilmindedness; they are whisperers,
Backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
Undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful;
Who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.
Now I know it's not "politically correct" to cite or repeat this scripture. But you tell me: What can this passage, so prominently positioned right in the middle of the New Testament that all Christians believe is the very word of God, possibly be referring to? What, if not the very environment you and I and our kids find ourselves in the middle of? What, if not America today?
The voters in California spoke, just two years ago, in a statewide election. Over 60 percent of the electorate explicitly decreed that marriage should continue to be restricted to one man and one woman, as it has since the beginning of time......CONTINUE....
