Proverbs 28:28 ¶ "When the wicked rise, men hide themselves: but when they perish, the righteous increase."
Without delving into politics, it is obvious that over the past 40 years the wicked men have rose in our nations. Abortion is not only legal, but in my country there are no restrictions, no law. Crime is not punished, criminals are coddled or released after serving less than half of their sentence upon an unprotected public. Police do not, or are not allowed to enforce law, laws are passed that make no sense from a civilized point of view. Citizens are not allow to protect themselves and yet the policing agencies are clear that they hold themselves free from this responsibility.
Our nation(s) has turned away collectively from the Lord, we will reap the whirlwind.
I wonder however if all of this is foreordained; the Church in China, with all of the government oppression is apparently flourishing. The Church in the old Soviet Union was growing while under severe oppression during the time the communists were in control. Apparently Africa has the largest amount of Christians in the world. India has a large and growing Church despite religions oppression and outright government acquiescence with this.
Are our nations destined to wax worse and worse so there will be a revival?
My hope is revival without the downgrade...
...either way, my hope is for revival. js
