Why almost? Because born again believers, at least those who know their Bible, are not surprised or shaken by it all. The Word of God, which describes life on our planet during the end-times, has been predicting events with 100% accuracy for centuries. And for those who have "read the last chapter," we know how it all turns out. God wins! And since born again believers are God's children, we win! The Word says that there is absolutely nothing that can separate us from the love of God:
"Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Rom. 8:37-39).There is nothing Satan can do to us that will change our eternal destiny; we are more than conquerors through Jesus Christ, our Lord!
So, what is the source of the downward spiral of civilization? The answer is simple; mankind has "bought into" the lies of Satan. From the very beginning, he has twisted the truth in an effort to become equal to God (Isa. 14:12-14). He was the "serpent" deceiving Adam in the Garden of Eden (Gen. 3), and he will be deceiving man, as the "serpent," until he is finally cast into the Lake of Fire (Rev. 20:2, 10). Apparently, because Satan knows what the Word says (Matt. 4:6), and therefore knows his future, he agrees with the saying, "misery loves company." Sadly, the majority of mankind will share his fate (Matt. 7:14).
So, if you think things are bad now, just wait; you "ain't seen nothin' yet!"
By accepting Jesus as your Lord, you will avoid spending eternity with Satan.
For your sake, and for God's glory, don't wait!
