When Evil Shall Wax Cold.

Yes, we are in one of the most holiest of seasons for Christians and Jews and if we are not in the beginnings of that time which is spoken of that evil will wax cold, meaning materializing all about this world, then in my opinion just how bad will those days be when they do fall upon us? If these days are not the epitome of all that personifies evil then just what is? If tevil can grow worse then how worse is worse? In my opinion we are in the beginning of those days.

I have written for a few years now to issue after issue and I am still dealing with them. Yet many others seem oblivious and just roll along as if nothing is happening, aware of nothing and accepting all as "business as usual". It certainly emphasizes the state of the world today, its citizens, its values, its morals and the character of many. In fact it is fulfillment of prophesy.

For anyone to say they do not understand what I am referring to is actually as I just said the fulfillment of what I am taking about and sums it up and literally confirms what I am speaking to. In my opinion and by experience greed, exploitation, lies, deceit, conniving, lust, covetousness, etc, etc, etc, in my opinion permeates every aspect of society, our institutions and all nations. I cannot even start to go down the list of the signs and symbols all about other then to say I have written pages and those who have read what I have written know much has come to pass.

No I am not a prophet, seer, or do I have supernatural insights or powers, nor do I claim to be anything more then an average person. However there are many like me who just use the common sense God gave us. Yes, just common sense and the ability to look at the signs and symbols that so many do not see. Sure, call me a pessimist, negative or anything you really care to, good, bad or indifferent but and that is a big but, it will not change one iota what I am addressing or talking to.

There are many undergoing the very same things each day at the hands of people who profess to be good and decent and believers. Perhaps they do it mechanically each day because "it is their job" or their ideology. They give no thought or not a care they just do to survive and they absolutely think themselves correct. Yes as I do, I'll give you that, but I can afford to be wrong, can you?

So to not think we are not close to the days of days is of itself self fulfilling. No I do not know the day or the hour but yet people go to and fro doing that which is normal to them never seeing that which is right before them. Perhaps this Easter or during this religious time period we should, that is we who believe, stop to consider just what I am speaking to. To stop and look, observe, listen, see.

Yes see it in those services you purchased that do not meet up to what they claim to provide you. In the "customer service" that is not there. In the products that are not up to par. In the people who exploit, use and take for personal gain. In politicians who created and approved of this mess and now ask us to help them make change. In the religious leaders who have not the courage to speak out for justice sake. Yes, like the scribes and pharisees of old, comfortable in their ways. Yes and those that do speak out attacked, ostracized, castigated, outcasts because they speak to the facts, the truth that so many do not want to know, see or hear. Hey, if I recall there was another who underwent the same and for nothing more then the truth. They hated Him as well and He also said they will hate those who believe and do likewise.

Yes, they do not speak out against it because it is not politically correct. It impacts the norm, upsets the cart, impacts business as usual. Do not offend even for the sake of truth. Just continue to do your thing. So in my opinion if this is not the beginning of the days when evil shall wax cold then just how bad will it be when it does arrive?

I for one have by experience each and every day been brought to the understanding that evil is more pronounced everywhere. It has been demonstrated to me so emphatically one wonders why others have no concern or have never experienced it? Is it that it has always been but never at such a profound level, or just immune to it? Yet, all you need to do to see it is stop, look, hear, observe and the answers will come forth. During this season take a moment to stop, listen, see, hear, you just may be surprised?
