One can almost physically feel evil’s powerful pull at the godly restraints imposed by Heaven’s Love and wisdom. Wickedness exerts its mesmerizing influence on this generation from its high places, inducing an insanity that can only be defined as the reprobate mind given in Romans 1:28.
Those of us fifty years of age or older can but blink and wonder at the upside-down world as it continues to descend into a madness of sorts. Those younger, for the most part, don’t seem to notice the deliberate deconstruction of all we of the 50-plus generation recognize and by which we are vexed.
I refer to such developments in America as the following.
* Disdain for human life in the form of abortion.
* The slaughter of babies in their mother’s wombs doesn’t seem to matter to more than half of our numbers. The younger generation –the baby-producing ages—especially don’t seem to notice and care. (And I realize that there are those who do care about the unborn among this age. But they are in the minority, and a significant minority at that.)
* Disregard for formerly moral principles.
* Marital status means nothing to a growing percentage of America’s population. Statistics bear it out. Sexual activity outside of the marriage bond is as common as any other entertaining, social activity.
* Embrace of homosexuality as more normal than heterosexuality is now the “enlightened” view.
* The norming of same-gender sexual relations has over powered today’s culture in a brief time. If one doesn’t embrace the social construct that biblical prohibitions are no longer relevant and that it is perfectly normal for men to have sex with men and women with women, then it is the one holding such an outmoded view who is the great sinner, not those who are “enlightened.”
* Welcome of new thought in adult-children sexual relations is a growing reality within progressive ideology. –Thus although there is no realization that such thought is not new at all, but is as ancient as every civilization that has lived and died.
* Such organizations as the North American Man/Boy Love Association (NAMBLA), which was not too long ago seen as among the most disgusting and perverted of groups, now are considered acceptable under growingly lenient circumstances. It all depends upon whether such relationships as adults and children being sexually involved are “consensual”–which in itself is as reprobate a concept as any that could be devised, in this writer’s view.
Thankfully there are Christian and other groups organized against this pedophile movement to normalize such filthy and evil activity. But it is a satanically driven trend that will not be stopped as mankind devolves ever deeper into total depravity.
Even public libraries and schools are becoming ever more involved in this movement to bring adults and children together in this unholy way.
Dolly Madison Library in Fairfax, Virginia has invited preschoolers, babies and toddlers to attend ‘Drag Queen Story Hour’ to celebrate ‘Pride Month.’
“Celebrate Pride Month by attending Drag Storybook Hour cosponsored by Fairfax County Public Library and The McLean Community Center. Registration required. All Ages.”…
The event will take place on Saturday, June 26 from 10:30 am to 11:15 am.
Event planners invited “babies, toddlers, preschoolers and school age children.”…
The Fairfax Republican party slammed the library for inviting young children to Drag Story Hour in celebration of pride month. (Virginia Library Invites Preschoolers, Babies and Toddlers to Drag Queen Story Hour to Celebrate Pride Month, by Cristina Laila, Gateway Pundit, June 25, 2021)
And the powerful tug of that luciferian hand, pulling this generation farther from godly restraint, manifests in the arena of commerce. All who want to live under a more moral society and culture are increasingly marginalized by the wicked forces of earthly, financial power.
Amazon, which is on track to be America’s largest retailer next year, launched its charity program Amazon Smile in 2013. The company has banned multiple conservative organizations since then, because it relies on the anti-conservative Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) to decide what groups qualify for the program.
WORLD News Group reported in 2020 that “Liberty Counsel, Family Research Council (FRC) and the American College of Pediatricians” are not allowed on Amazon Smile. Alliance Defending Freedom was reportedly removed from the site as well. Meanwhile, Planned Parenthood, Black Lives Matter, and The Satanic Temple are all free to collect donations from the program.
The AmazonSmile program is fairly simple. “Shop at smile.amazon.com and we’ll donate 0.5% of eligible purchases to your favorite charitable organization—no fees, no extra cost,” the website explained. However, Amazon will not let just any charity into the program. “Organizations that engage in, support, encourage, or promote intolerance, hate, terrorism, violence, money laundering, or other illegal activities are not eligible to participate. Amazon relies on the US Office of Foreign Assets Control and the Southern Poverty Law Center to determine which registered charities fall into these groups,” AmazonSmile’s about page said. (From Planned Parenthood to Satanism, AmazonSmile encourages shoppers to donate to some extreme charities — at least 216 different groups. But multiple prominent conservative groups aren’t even allowed to participate, by Kayla Sargent, NewsBusters.org).
We know, of course, who are the “intolerant” in today’s definition of the term. Christian organizations, in particular, are not allowed to participate in the charitable largesse of the beneficent Amazon money masters.
The transgender curriculum is becoming ubiquitous throughout the nation’s public school systems. Children in grade school are taught that God’s Word, the Bible, is wrong. That they can be whatsoever gender they wish.
And as parents begin to catch on to this type of hellish inculcation and attend school board meetings to protest, the school officials in some cases are contriving ways to obfuscate their nefarious doings.
The following news link brief on Rapture Ready News frames this attempt to deceive.
Teachers told to give fake curriculum to parents who complain of ‘indoctrination’
Amid complaints from parents that their children are being “indoctrinated,” a Missouri school district official is advising English teachers to create a fake curriculum and keep the real one hidden.
Another such brief on a link further emphasizes the satanic tug at the knot teeing this generation to the last vestiges of its moral moorings.
Planned Parenthood sex-ed flyer telling 11-year-olds they could have sex, as long as the partner isn’t older than 13, distributed in WA public school. A flyer telling 11-year-olds that they can have sex, as long as the person isn’t older than 13, was distributed earlier this week to students at Stewart Middle School in Tacoma, WA.
All of this means that the stench of these end times must be singeing the nostrils of a Holy God. It is more than appropriate to ask if this is not that time He forewarned of in the one book we are promised His blessing if we read and heed. Is that time at hand?
And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand. He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.” (Rev. 22: 10-21)

Terry James Prophecy Line 
It is the harsh truth Pastor James. I could not agree with your words more. The only silver lining in all of this is that as the violence and debauchery gets worse, it means our Lord will return sooner rather than later. That is what I keep reminding myself when I get so discouraged about America’s and the world’s further slide down the moral abyss. Maranatha Lord Jesus.
It is so true, I can almost smell the stench of sulphur all around us as I sense we are so close to the Tribulation. God has been rejected from nearly all areas and it is as the evil one believes he can have the victory of Demonic rule completely in his grasp.
Such unbelievable arrogance for it seems to escapes his memory that Jesus Christ of Nazareth completely defeated him at the Cross of Calvary. Maranatha come Lord Jesus, Come!
Albeit true what you have written and there are no arguments to be had , It is for such a time as this that He has called you and i to shine His light on the darkness that surrounds us and let the good news of the Gospel be preached on every corner and every roof top. when you see all these things happening , look up your Savior draweth nigh.
Blessings to all in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord
God clearly say’s that a mans years (generation) will be 70 years, 8o if by strength. We are already 73 years into this last generation (1948-2028). 2028 subtract 7 years of the Tribulation = 2021…. the year of the Rapture. Maranatha!
Thank you. Truth.
What is even more troubling is that so many principals and school boards are on board with this trash. The ones that are in a position to put a stop to it are turning a deaf ear and a blind eye. I guess, we can assume then, that they would see nothing wrong with exposing their own kids and grandchildren to it.
James {1:14-15} But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
What is true for an individual is also true for an entire society, as Terry’s commentary bears out so well above.
Let’s see how this is further verified and where we are now.
For the United States, I’d say the decline into the abyss began in 1963 when the Supreme Court kicked God out of our public schools. Within a few months, JFK was shot in Dallas and n the years that followed, there was a proliferation of drug use, “free love,” the burning of our cities due to racial strife, protests which often turned violent over the Vietnam war, and the assassinations of Martin Luther King, Jr and RFK.
The 1970’s saw the decline of America’s prestige and power under the presidency of Jimmy Carter as we allowed Ruhollah Khomeini to hold Americans hostage in Iran with impunity.
We got a brief respite in the 1980’s with the presidency of Ronald Reagan.
The 1990’s brought us Bill Clinton, his lecherous behavior and his lying to Congress on which he ultimately got a pass.
The turn of the century saw the mainstream churches toss out the Bible and embrace homosexual behavior which acted to accelerate the secular world’s acceptance of this perversion, all of which brings us the Twenty-first Century’s version of Sodom and Gomorrah which is rapidly becoming universal.
Now if what we see today disgusts those of us who hold the Bible as the ultimate authority regarding the truth of all things, imagine what the Author of that Book must think of it and just how short the time must be that he’ll tolerate it any longer.
“And he called out with a mighty voice, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great! She has become a dwelling place for demons, a haunt for every unclean spirit, a haunt for every unclean bird, a haunt for every unclean and detestable beast.
For all nations have drunk the wine of the passion of her sexual immorality, and the kings of the earth have committed immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth have grown rich from the power of her luxurious living.”
Revelation 18:2-3
The Day is on us.

Our apostle Paul warned us of these things so I know to keep my eyes on the heavenly things… Where we await our Lord from Heaven…💕.
Peace unto ALL BELIEVERS …Amen🙏👑📣
After looking at the news lately, and I am saying lately, we can see the absolute evil that is oozing out of every crevice of society. I thank you Terry for this article because you struck my heart with the Lord’s final words to us, “Behold I come quickly”. THAT was EXACTLY what I needed to hear at the very MOMENT that I read it! God bless us and keep us all, all those who call upon His Name.
A while back I was reading 2 Timothy 3, with the attitude of simply re-reading what I had read before. Suddenly I was stopped in my tracks. How did this happen? I wondered. Every word of this chapter was a representation of how people are today. How? When? I am long retired and do not mix with so many people on a regular basis. Had things changed so suddenly or was I seeing things differently or more clearly now? Had the change been going on under my nose before and I had not recognised how things were going. It was as if the tide had come in while my back was turned.
I have stopped watching the late -night news because I do not want to go to bed with ‘ an ear full of trouble’ as I had once heard someone say. It is gives me more time to pray. Something is happening . The gap is widening. We have had enough. I will wait upon the Lord.
My exact sentiments Harvey. I spend time on social media. I read comments. Everyone is so despondent over what is happening. Like Isaiah, my spirit is vexed. Isa 63:10 “But they rebelled, and VEXED his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them”. Maranatha Lord Jesus.
Imagine how Lot felt. Although we speak the same language as others in our country, we are strangers. We had similar educations. We were all on the same page when I was a child, with similar aspirations. We respected authority, truth and the Golden Rule . We took our children to Sunday school and church,Boys and Girls brigade, but only one out of the three is a Christian today and has brought up her family to be the same.stuck with it. My son reckons the church was full of ‘ aint-rights’ and boys brigade the same. I wonder what experiences he may have encountered .The church ‘system’ has failed. The Lord called me out of it years ago , but most still cling to it like a sacred cow. I wonder how many pastors have a true calling or are following it faithfully? This is a message that most cannot hear and the Lord said not to talk about it unless to someone who had ears to hear. You can’t put new wine into old skins or use a piece of new cloth to mend an old garment”, He said specifically, in relation to my question. Tradition!! Despite the Lord’s warning in various places , like Mark 7:7. that is the enemy still today Ultimately most herds become extinct, but but most people follow the herd rather than the Spirit
