Have people gone crazy? Nope. Read Revelation17:17

It shouldn't be a surprise.  There is plenty of warning in Scripture.

 

I have to admit though that the depth and breadth of the total ludicrousness and depravity in our country and world astounds me at times.  It seems to me that some people have lost total touch with reality.  We have actual doctors testifying to Congress that men can get pregnant and deliver babies. 

We have cities that no longer keep their criminals locked up.  The cities arrest them and then let them right back out on the streets.  And then they complain that crime is out of control.  Well duh!!!

Have people gone absolutely crazy???  How can their view of the world be so completely different than mine?

 

I ran across this verse in Revelation today and it answered that question for me. 

 

Revelation 17:17(NKJV)

For God has put it into their hearts to fulfill His purpose, to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God are fulfilled. 

 

There is the explanation.  This isn't something that is "just happening".  It is part of God's plan.  It leads to Armageddon and the return of Jesus. 

I sometimes wonder though why we have to build to this mighty battle?  God is all powerful.  He could, right this minute, crush the opposition and send Jesus back to earth to start the 1,000 year reign…..but He doesn't.

Why not? 

What is the purpose of putting the human race through this?  What is it we are supposed to learn?  
 

Not sure I have the answer.  I have a guess or two, but they are only guesses.  I just trust God and I will add this to the list of questions I have for Him when I get there! 

Hope you all have a blessed day!  :)
