Another prophecy fulfilled in our time
Another prophecy fulfilled in our time unlike any other time before.
I just posted a thread in the news forum about a 16 year old mass murderer. Can you even believe it???? Yet it's true. I've posted articles in the last couple of years about 4 year olds committing horrible crimes. I believe there were only 2 of those, but stil...4 years old! And the articles made it quite obvious that these children knew that what they did was horrible. Quite frequently I've posted articles about children between the ages of 6 and 8 committing murder and even rape! I've posted so many of those it's not even completely shocking as it was two years ago. Because of that, teenagers committing murder, even mass murder, isn't shocking anymore to most people.
I don't think there's ever been a time in history when children were so seminally minded. They kill and/or rape their own parents, friends and siblings! This is a most definite sign of our times. I think this is the one that bothers me the most...with the crimes committed against children being right up there with it!
Never before have so many crimes been committed against children either, even against little babies and infants. Parents torture them, kill them, sexually abuse them, use them as weapons to kill others... and on and on it goes. I know these two things combined just break my heart and I can only imagine what it does to our Father's heart! When I see these articles, it only makes me plead with Him all the harder to come soon!
Yet the Lord told us this would happen during this age. I know back when I first started studying about the rapture and end times, in the 70's, that I never even imagined things like this would happen though. Now though, life is cheap and anything but sacred.
I was looking to see just what the Lord had to say about these things. I can't post all the verses obviously, but I'll post some. I found a few that I hadn't related to end times before, but they certainly fit.
Micah 7:5 Do not trust in a friend; do not put your confidence in a companion; Guard the doors of your mouth from her who lies in your bosom. 6 For son dishonors father, daughter rises against her mother, daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; a man's enemies are the men of his own house.
Matthew 24:12 "And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.
Matthew 10:34 "Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. 35 "For I have come to `set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.' 36 "And `a man's foes will be those of his own household.'
Matthew 24:10 "And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another.
Luke 12:51 "Do you suppose that I came to give peace on earth? I tell you, not at all, but rather division. 52 "For from now on five in one house will be divided: three against two, and two against three. 53 "Father will be divided against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.''
