We hear Democrats calling for more war in Ukraine. They wage war throughout the Middle East. We see Democrats urging or condoning violence in the streets at home. We read that Congress & Biden are sending billions to Hamas, billions more to Iran, the largest state-sponsor of terrorism in the world. People speak openly and frequently about nuclear war.
The cartels are making billions from human and drug trafficking on the southern border. Patriots at home are called insurrectionists and terrorists. Hundreds languish in federal prison, many in solitary confinement.
Crimes against women and children, off the charts. Unspeakable atrocities around the world. Morality forgotten or ignored.
Federal debt is wildly out of control. Inflation is a fact of life as far as one can see, many years down the road.
A former president is the subject of massive federal investigation, warfare in the courtroom amounting to election interference.
The Constitution is on life support. Individual rights are vanishing, the hope for a prosperous future, flickering.
Globalists rejoice. World government advances.
Enormous tax increases coming very soon. Government spending a dagger to the throat.
Chaos and confusion are increasing everywhere.
But take heart . . . “For at that time there will be great tribulation, unmatched from the beginning of the world until now, and never to be seen again. If those days had not been cut short, nobody would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, those days will be cut short.” — Matthew 24:21,22
“These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” — John 16:33
