HOW THEN SHALL WE LIVE?

As I posted on Facebook, I now believe that America's best days are behind us, our economy will collapse, we will cease to be a superpower and we will cease to be a sovereign, individual nation. Some of these outcomes could happen this year.

The question is how long will God wait before He calls the Church home and the 7 years of Tribulation begin. Most scholars believe there are no more prophecies to be fulfilled before the Rapture of the Church will occur. The world has been wanting a New World Order with a central government, a central economy and a common currency in order to achieve "Peace on Earth." Barack Obama had been heralded as the President of the World just a few short years ago. The seeds of our nation's economic doom are already sprouting and breaking ground.

It's logical to propose that some form of emergency plan may be in place, whether in America, Europe or some other entity. When the Church and the Holy Spirit are removed from the Earth, worldwide panic will occur and people will clamor for a savior, a leader to bring order and peace. Thus we can surmise, it won't be very difficult to impose a New World Order. Especially since many have been seeking one since at least the early 20th century.

As Christians, we must ask ourselves the same question posed by Francis Schaefer, which is the title of this post; "How then shall we live?" We can't quit jobs or responsibilities but we must examine our priorities. This is the same dilemma faced by Christians since Paul's times, however, today's world is much riper for fulfillment of the prophecies. An urgency needs to be felt and practiced by us all.

I believe most of us will find it very difficult to believe that such changes will occur so soon and so quickly. Most people have been preoccupied with jobs, families, bills, illnesses and all the other challenges of everyday life. But many have not kept an eye or a ear open regarding the momentous changes happening in Washington, America or the world . There are many crying "Wake up." But, many can't hear due to the secular world (Satan in fact) broadcasting "All's well."
