I was born in 1950, and my formative years and schooling until 1969 when I joined the Navy to avoid the Vietnam draft.
It was the age of TV “Father knows best,” ‘Leave It to Beaver,’ “Dick Van Dyke Show,’ ‘I Love Lucy ‘Red Skelton,’ ‘Captain Kangaroo,’ ‘Flintstones,’ and ‘Gunsmoke.’ The fifties birthed Rock and roll music from Elvis Priestly to Buddy Holly. There was peace on earth and goodwill to all—well, almost.
The Cold War chilled life to the bone, and the hottest trend was bomb shelters and schools doing “Hide under your desk” drills as if a desk could save you from an atomic bomb. The war was Vietnam, likely the most protested. John F. Kennedy, the most popular President, was assassinated, and I never felt the actual assassins were held accountable. Today, the evidence returns to the CIA and the “Deep State.” Then came Robert Kennedy’s assassination. Best-known riots then included:
- The 1968 Democratic Convention riots.
- The Chicago Seven.
- The Watts Rebellion.
- The Civil Rights Movement bloodshed.
- The Detroit Riots of 1967.
The Assassination of Martin Luther King. Barry Goldwater Brought the Far Right to Center Stage in the 1964 Presidential Race. McCarthyism and the Second Red Scare led to censoring opinion. The elites still ran things from behind “Good-Old-Boy” curtains.
The Peace, Love, Dope hippies, Vietnam, Abby Hoffman, Trippin Timothy Leary, Woodstock, and the Jesus movement of the sixties turned this country boy upside-down and inside out. During the 1950s and 1960s, anxiety was the emblematic mental health problem in the United States, and depression was considered a rare condition. Thanks to the cheap pot and readily available psychedelics, I made it through. The opportunities were endless, and houses were affordable.
Looking back from 2023:
The fifties and sixties had the same demons, just a different day. The main difference between the 1960s and the present is that the issues are globally wholistic; the empire is immense. The Great Reset and the Davos gang want the world to have one cause: government, religion, and single currency. The elites said, “You will own nothing and be happy.” It sounds like a new empire another day, just as the kingdoms of the past want global control—the bigger the empire, the better. You may ask, “What about the rampant sexualization of today, the multiple genders?” My response is Sodom and Gomorrah—same demons, different days.
The world is going to hell in a handbasket. This saying also spans time; my parents thought it, my grandparents thought it, and on and on. At some time, everyone has said or insinuated that the world is going to hell in a handbasket; it started with a snake and an apple. Same demons, different days and times. The battle between good and evil is beyond our understanding and has been raging since Satin was cast down into the earth:
7 Then war broke out in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. 8 But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. 9 The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.—Revelation 12
If I said just ten years ago, there would be:
- There are more than two sexes and many genders, and if you disagree and say there are but two sexes, you will be censored and ostracized from society and even lose your job—no one would believe me.
- Gas stoves, gasoline, and diesel will be banned, forcing middle-class people to an expensive, unproven “Green” solution for transportation and energy—no one would believe me.
- There is no American border, not just porous, but no border. Seven million people have crossed into America illegally, and it is our duty to put them up in hotels, give them cell phones, and provide them with immunity from prosecution—no one would believe me.
- The government will team with the media to censorial debate contrary to elites’ chosen narratives—no one would believe me.
- Voting will be controlled by software, and the people’s voices and choices can be manipulated so the ruling class always wins—no one would believe me.
- Unlike the past riots, the riots will cause billions of dollars in damage, historical monuments torn down, looting, and arson will go unpunished, even spurred on by politicians—no one would believe me.
- Four FBI Directors will lie under oath and deny prosecution of the elite, including a President and his family, for felonies they committed—no one would believe me.
- Indict a former President of the United States for stating something within his First Amendment rights—you would not believe me.
- Men will be competing against women as a woman—no one would believe me.
- That law would make stealing anything under one thousand dollars okay—no one would believe me.
- Parents will lose their right to raise and educate their children as they see fit, and children can decide to go through sex mutilation without parents knowing—no one would believe me.
If I said, “Everything we are seeing right now, sacrificing babies, gender mutilations, rampant deceit, censorship, wars and rumors of wars, one world government, one world church, unidentified atmospheric phenomena, global pandemics, mass depression, lawlessness, and more is all foretold in the Bible,”— you would not believe me.
All these times are prophesied in Old and New Scripture Matthew 24, Ezekiel, Daniel, Revelations, and more—you would not believe me.
4 Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many. 6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7 Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains….12 And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. 13 But he who endures to the end shall be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.
The Great Tribulation.
15 “Therefore when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place” (whoever reads, let him understand), 16 “then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17 Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take anything out of his house. 18 And let him who is in the field not go back to get his clothes. 19 But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! 20 And pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath. 21 For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22 And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the [a] elect’s sake, those days will be shortened.
23 “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There!’ do not believe it. 24 For false Christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you beforehand.
26 “Therefore if they say to you, ‘Look, He is in the desert!’ do not go out; or ‘Look, He is in the inner rooms!’ do not believe it.—Matthew 24
3 Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness[a] is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. 4 He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God.—2 Thessalonians 2
You better start reading the Bible. The Bible is the only weapon you will have to prepare for the difficult times ahead.
