Good article,
This is just one piece in the puzzle of the beginning of birth pangs. Logic will certainly drive this and it will move with a certain speed. Once a nation embraces logic at the expense of God then the writing is on the wall for that nation. Germany is an excellent example of an embracing of logic, that logic being a Darwinistic one where the strong survive and the weak become the enemy. The first whole sale slaughter in Nazi Germany was the mentally handicapped. Both my wife and I stood at the holocaust museum in DC and wept to see this as we have a Down Syndrome child.
Now, if logic minus God can drive a nation to destruction, and we have seen this, what happens when the whole world embraces logic minus God? We are living in the threshold of that right now. There will be no great awakening from this dark nightmare. No, but there will be a separating. The people of God from all the nations of the world will ultimately be united by their Christ and be rejected whole-sale by the people's of the world. Too long now have we lived within the gates of Sodom. Vexed souls will be compelled to leave the comforts of Sodom for the cave of obedience. Those whose hearts are for the world and who look back fondly upon its comforts will be caught up in its destruction, moral destruction first and then finally actual destruction. Persecution awaits us and our destruction will be the final act of a guilty world driven by its true master............. bro Frank
