You're A Better Man Than I Am.....Gunga Din

The following post is from July of 2016:

         You can say what you want about my opinions and conclusions but I have been consistent. A friend gave me his honest opinion recently with this..."Special Dog, you've been saying these thing for twenty years!" The message intended was that I have thus been proven wrong. My response was a pause....a gentle look urging him to consider further what he just said....and one word...."Exactly."
         This awareness that our nation is in the midst of a suicide attempt goes much farther back than my own thoughts. Allan Bloom's 1987 The Closing Of The American Mind woke a lot of people up as did Neil Postman's 1985 Amusing Ourselves To Death, Christopher Lasch's 1979 Culture Of Narcissism and before all of these....Richard Hofstadter's 1963 Anti-Intellectualism In American Life!
         Even more than these books, Christian books from the 70s, 80s and 90s by authors such as Francis Schaeffer, Harold Lindsell, John MacArthur, Billy Graham and many others gave specifics on where we were heading. They predicted a collapsing Christian church and a new world order with spot-on precision.
         God warns His people before judgment, this much is very clear in Scripture, and those warnings usually take place over many years. No warnings... or warnings right before judgment... are what would be odd. Christians in America have no excuse for not considering the evidence all around them. They would have to be living in Hillary's world...or at least never venture outside of their local newspaper...for them not to aware of a world gone mad.
         It gets much worse friends and you have to know this!  Should the Lord already be mounted and  summoning His holy angels then we are heading into Tribulation. More bad news....there is no rapture beforehand! If this doesn't shake you to the core then you're a better man than I am Gunga Din! God may indeed have some semblance of mercy upon America but it won't happen without many in this nation rending its clothes and falling on its knees.
         As I mentioned in a post of only a few days ago...should the Lord tarry for quite a number of years, you would not...if you knew where we are headed...look forward to living in this society that is rising menacingly as the Tower of Babel... before our very eyes.
