It seems rather obvious that we are living through some interesting times. Where do you see things going in the months and years to come?
Yes, I am asking for speculation from everyone.
Here is a little proposed scale for human drama.
1-2. Normal times. Nothing particularly interesting going on.
3-4. Spicy times. Cultural changes like the civil rights movement of 1960s, sexual revolution, divorce revolution, warfare like Vietnam, Korea, or Iraq, financial collapse of 2008.
5-6. Serious spicy and great pain, World War 1 and 2,. Great Depression, American Civil War of 1860s, American, French, or Russian revolution, Spanish flu
7. Rise and.fall of empires including the fall of Britain between 1900 and 1960, or the fall and collapse of the Soviet Communism and the Warsaw pact around 1990, Spain conquering the New World Incas and Aztecs in the 1500s, black death plague
8. Rise and fall of world empires, including the fall of Rome, the rise of the Islamic empire after the death of Mohammed, Mongol hoards
9. Things of great eschatological importance, such as the great and final Tribulation, the mark of the beast, the rapture of the Church, the rise of the antichrist
10. Ultimate. Return of Christ, Thousand year reign of Christ, White Throne Judgment, Lake of Fire, New Jerusalem, New Heavens and New Earth, every tear wiped away
With all that in mind, where are we on that type of scale?
I think we are obviously at least in that 5-6 neighborhood, and may well be heading towards the 7,8,9,10.
I think the American empire is collapsing. The dollar is falling
The greater Anglo-American order including USA, UK, Canada, Australia, and NZ, is also falling apart.
China is rising.
The whole Neoliberal Western World (aka globohomo) order, including NATO, Japan, Korea, will change dramatically.
Massive economic earthquakes are at hand.
Massive ecological issues
Massive supply chain problems with shortages of essentials like food
Who knows?
Here is my opinion. I'm pretty sure we are going into massive worldwide change, and great pain. It will be at least a 7-8 on my scale.
Whatever happens, I know for certain that Jesus Christ is Lord. He will reign forever. My greatest desire is to be entirely His.
I think there is a very good likelihood that the world is going into the Great Tribulation, leading up to the Return of the King.
I don't know if I believe in the pre-tribulational rapture, but at this point, nothing would surprise me. I wouldn't be surprised to get raptured and be with Jesus very soon. Give me the choice, and I'm gone.
I also wouldn't be surprised to see the world fall into the great Tribulation, see the rise of the beast and antichrist, and get imprisoned, starved, and martyred by them. If that comes, I pray that Christ will keep us faithful unto death.
I also wouldn't be surprised to merely see the destruction of the dollar, the disintegration of the United States, the fall of Western Civilization, massive war, starvation and suffering around the world.
If that happens, I pray that God will help us to faithfully follow Christ, love others, and build towards a better future.
If the rapture happens soon, I won't ever be polygynous
If the Tribulation happens, and Christians go through it, I might possibly be polygynous, but it is going to be a really rough time.
If its only the fall of the Western World, then we might all work towards building a better and more Biblical society, and that might include polygamy.
