You know...as I look over the posts, also observe people talking, and even people I know,even myself, I see something.In the past, it seemed although we all still had "problems" living in the fallen world, there were at least things to temper it,so the "bad" was held back somewhat. But now, even amongst those of us on the site. I notice we have problems worse then before,and very trying to deal with it, and even sometimes with prayer the problems persist.Someone might have a financial problem,and worse then ever,a health problem;with me,time problems that I had in the past,but there used to be certain times when I could count on a "break". Now, things have changed ,and not in a way that benefits me.But now the "punchline"--I don't think this pressure on all of is by coincidence. Being most likely in the last days,remember,"Woe to the Earth and to the sea, for the devil has come down to you having great anger, knowing he has a short amount of time."The darkest hour is before dawn, and I think our "friend" is working overtime to get his shots in.Also, in the past God was still upholding the world, so there was at least some order. Now, as if in death throes, everything is coming unglued,so things aren't within a "normal" range anymore.I'm not saying it's easy to deal with, but I think this is what's happening. Do you think?
