Okay, time for a little random thinking. Ive been thinking about the past and how we can see the future in it. This is my thinking and not a copy of some brainy hack who is all educated up. So let me ramble a bit. We are in a mess today and a lota people like to predict our end. We might be there but reading the end time stuff in the big book leaves a lot of people with different opinions. Here is my thoughts. It starts in geneses and the garden. God gave us the best and said it was good. We know how that ended. After that the whole thing fell apart. God had to rescue us with a flood---arc. Then it was good for a while but it fell apart again. God recued us again in the flesh---Jesus. After a while things fouled up again and God rescued us again with a revelation ---The just shall live by faith/reformation. So now today things are on the downturn. Are we at the bottom? What will happen? From the past we can see it will get a whole lot worse before it gets better. And God has always come to bail us out. Keep this in mind as I go to the next phase---What will it look like? The first time he rescued us in the natch---flood. Then He rescued us in the flesh---Jesus. Then the last time he rescued us from romanism---revelation/education. Also in another angle---The first time He rescued a family. Then He rescued a nation and lastly from religion. So if we look at the trends we might be able to draw some conclusions. Our next rescue will not be a natural event--or a national event. It will not be a new doctrine or church movement. These methods are used up and God is progressive. So it will look like a ground swell of supernatural activity amongst the populace. No church or group will be able to claim it. It will reduce crime on a local level not in the governments our amongst the rich and powerful. Corruption will increase there. Church attendance will not increase as the major denominations have seen no growth in the last 40 years. Para-church groups and cell groups will multiply. Christianity will flourish right under the anti-Christ forces noses. Major religions will try to copy this activity but without His power it will only deceive the non-believers. I'm not going into detail because nobody know all that and if someone tries to predict all that then its probably emotions or intellectual conclusions. However remember this---according to the past---it will get a lot worse before it gets better and God will not leave us or forsake us. B-Blest
