A FEW SAMPLE PAGES-- Below we list a few random pages from book three in this series. This entire book series (all 1200+ pages) consist of fully illustrated pages such as these.

Prophecy Fulfilled. According to biblical prophecy just before the world ends, there will be a return, (mindset and conduct wise) to the days of Noah and Lot. 

Consider, : 37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,

39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.”  Matt 24.

“Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built; but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.  Lk 17.

The world at large today should marvel at the perfect foreknowledge of God, in regards to our end-time mindset and modes of conduct. Thousands of years ago, God perfectly told us of the prevailing attitudes and modes of conduct, which would mark the end of the age. 

Many today are in a state of denial when it comes to where we are, according to God’s prophetical time clock as outlined in the Bible.  The events, which are taking place before our very eyes, are conformation of the prophetical accuracy of the Bible.  We have arrived at the place God said we would be, and we are acting, just like God, said we would.  

           

     

The lifecycle of a civilization-- Surprisingly, all great civilizations move through a common lifecycle beginning at their inception and continuing to their collapse. In some instances, the civilization runs through this lifecycle multiple times, each time stopping just short of total collapse. In all cases though, the cycle will eventually be completed and the civilization will cease to exist. As strange as it may sound, history has shown us that the start and end of the civilizational lifecycle begins and ends with bondage.

“Freedom from bondage-- Most great civilizations can trace their origins to a period of bondage. Controlled and restricted by ruthless leaders, the citizens dream of freedom and unhindered lifestyles. After some time, they inevitably develop the faith and courage needed to forcefully obtain the freedom they so desire. Courage leads to action and liberty is at last achieved.”

The emergence of the pursuit of a religious foundation--A civilization must have a religious or moral framework that promotes unity and provides a model for cooperation and social cohesion. In most instances, a popular religion emerges that attracts a majority of citizens and serves as the anchor for the society’s moral guidelines.  As historian Will Durant pointed out, “There is no significant example in history, before our time, of a society successfully maintaining moral life without the aid of religion.”

The importance of religion to a civilization’s continued existence cannot be underestimated. History has shown that when a society becomes morally corrupt, civility is destroyed, the society becomes unstable, and inevitably the nation slides towards collapse.  Religion delineates the line between right and wrong, drawing the line in an indelible ink that cannot be altered as the society matures and grows.

Liberty leads to great accomplishments--With the new freedom from bondage gained, and the emergence of a religious foundation to build on, a liberated environment begins to develop.   It is within this environment that free thinking is allowed to flourish.  As a result, the civilization achieves great accomplishments. The freedom to innovate leads to creative solutions even though sometimes the creative solutions that are discovered are self-destructive (either knowingly or unknowingly).

An abundance of riches leads to indulgences as the religious and moral framework begins to break down--The great accomplishments achieved by the society lead to an abundance of riches – which ultimately leads to the decline of morality. Immigrants eager to experience the success of the empire migrate to the area introducing different customs (some prove beneficial to their new society) and religions (some in direct opposition to the currently established religion) and diluting the labor pool. With luxuries obtained and all desires fulfilled, carnal indulgences soon follow.

Morals break down and an obsession with sex and violence takes hold. Citizens see the degradation of morals as an emancipation from the stringent constraints that restricted their behavior.  The decline in morals is often slow and subtle and unrecognized by the civilization.  

Greed and selfishness lead to laziness --Over time, the rich and poor become greedy, selfish, and self-indulgent. With morals in decline, the self-centered rich and poor alike begin to take advantage of the “system” with the rich seeking unfair tax advantages and government favor while the poor take unfair advantage of freely available social benefits. With all their needs met, they become lazy leading to declines in productivity and a stifling of innovation.

Complacency and short sightedness leads to apathy --The society become complacent and short-sighted seeking “quick fixes” where long-term solutions are required. The riches achieved by their predecessors are no longer sought after, but rather, expected. They may recklessly consume their resources with no regard for environmental collateral damage. Laziness has led to complacency which is followed by apathy. The society has become indifferent, disconnected, and self-centered.

Manipulating the System leads to dependence reinstated--The gulf between the classes continues to widen. The rich seek more government favor in order to rule over the poor and the poor begin to steal to survive and prosper. The rich and poor alike continue to take advantage of the societal system as both classes begin to resent each other. Both classes become dependent on the government in order to prosper

 Government weakens--With all classes seeking to “work the system”, legal systems become impotent and government is weakened. Both classes begin to view the government as the enemy who itself may be powerless or unwilling to promote corrections to the societal system’s deficiencies. Strife between the classes may lead to revolt which further destabilizes the government. 

And finally, Collapse leads back to bondage--With selfish citizens and a powerless or corrupt government, the Nation begins to collapse. A weakened government can no longer protect its citizens. The civilization is conquered or absorbed into a more efficient or desirable civilization which leads them back into bondage. The cycle begins again.”    We are told that at the end of this age, (our time), this cycle will take a dramatic turn for the worse.  We are told that there will be a major departure from the rise and fall cycle of times past.

As we know, when this nation was formed, there was an acknowledgement of God and our need for His guidance, on the part of the Founding Fathers.  We note that in the language of the Declaration of Independence,  there is an acknowledgement of  a divine creator and the right of all human beings to have fair access to life, liberty and happiness.

Consider, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

The preamble to the Constitution reflects the same ideology -We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. 

Written in 1787, ratified in 1788, and in operation since 1789, the United States Constitution is the world’s longest surviving written charter of government. Its first three words – “We The People” – affirm that the government of the United States exists to serve its citizens.

They were careful to emphasize both religious freedom and separation of church and state.   The emphasis on the separation of church and state on the part of our nation’s Founding Fathers did not hinder them from allowing themselves to be generally influenced by the Ten Commandments when developing the laws and ethical principles that would be the rule stick for centuries. 

A careful reading of the Constitution will show that the founding fathers realized that NOT everyone in the nation (which was in its infancy), would embrace the godly values as outlined in the Bible.   Thus, an allotment was made that insured that they would not be forced to adhere to moral values, in the name of Christianity, but the founding fathers also realized that there would be those who would seek to fully embrace the godly values as outlined in the Bible.  Therefore, space was made for those who chose to respect God to be able to freely do so.   

There has never been a nation formed whose foundational principles were based on the  Judeo-Christian principles as outlined in the Bible.  The majority of the  founding fathers were acutely aware of certain guidelines of God and the character of God. Compare.

They knew that God created them, and they were accountable to Him.  They were aware of the fact that God graciously sought to be in a close relationship with them, and  they were aware of the basic guidelines God established for the functioning of an orderly society.

It is a reasonable assessment to say that in times past it has been the efforts on the part of many of its citizenry to actively seek to adhere to God’s most basic guidelines, in regards to moral conduct, that allowed this nation to become one of the most productive and greatest nations the world has ever seen.

As we have stated, we are seeing laws enacted that legalize the very modes of conduct that incurred the fiery wrath of God in times past, as well as the casting of His own covenant people out of the promised land.

When it comes to accepting and obeying these unrighteous laws, there is much debate among those within the various churches  who seek to honor God.   This situation is often called “the great moral divide”.

Some church leaders  now say that we must respect the laws of the land even if we disagree with them. On the other side, there are those who say that the holy laws of God supersede the laws of man. The debate now rages even among churches of the same denomination.  In fact, some church denominations are splitting up over this issue.

Some say when a nation begins to change its moral  and sexual standards and sanctions unbridled sexual promiscuousness, this normally is an indication of the impending doom of that nation. Others disagree.  They say the winds of change which are now reshaping our societal and sexual landscape are a positive, welcomed breeze.

In these most perilous of times, we as believers are under tremendous pressure to compromise and conform to the idealism of this world, which includes being pressured to simply shut up and go along with whatever is most politically correct.   The question each of us as believers must come to terms with, is whether or not we will stand for God or bow to this worlds system - even in the face of harsh criticism.

There is a continuing debate among many within the various churches when it comes to the matter of human/civil rights versus moral wrongs.  Some church leaders are now saying that when it comes to certain issues such as human sexuality, marriage, and family, that  we as believers must respect the laws of the land even if we disagree with them.

There are those believers who say that the holy laws of God supersede the laws of man, others disagree.  They say that we as believers have no right to expect God’s biblical guidelines to be reflected in the laws of the land.

Those who disagree with this assessment say that what many celebrate as being a modern sophisticated society's mindset of all inclusiveness, is a tragic sign that our nation has reached a level of moral deterioration, to a degree of which there is no return. 

 In seeking to come to grips with just exactly where we are morally,  as a society, some say that we have lost our moral compass.   Others argue that rather than losing our moral compass, we have purposely thrown it away. 

Pastor Scott Lively explains,   “Fifty years ago homosexuality was illegal throughout the entire world, except for Sweden which had decriminalized sodomy in 1938. In the space of just half a century this tiny 1-3% of the population have made themselves a global political power with greater influence in the courtrooms and legislatures of the world than the Church. This astonishing transformation surpasses that of Darwinism, Marxism, and even Islam in its speed and breadth of reach. 

  

Many today around the world are now persuaded that the LGBT lifestyle is a human right, which must be protected,  and defended by the laws of the land.   Those who would dare disagree with this assessment are more and more being ostracized and  viewed as being insensitive homophobic bigots. 
 

And in some cases those who sound a dissenting voice are classed as law breakers, who must be punished under the law.  To realize the true impact that the LGBTQ movement has and is having. we should consider the cost one now incurs to speak against it.
