It’s all going bad in the USA, but it's NOT what you thought!

A growing number of people are now realizing that the greatest nation of the world is slowly undergoing irreversible economic decline and descent into a Soviet styled welfare/police state. Christians in the US thought their powerful nation was the eternal Kingdom of God and destined to extend its dominion into every corner of the earth. Alas, a big surprise is in store.

But not only the US, most of the industrialized world is facing an economic crisis, military threats, protests, terrorism, increasing droughts, hurricanes  and floods, epidemics of chronic disease, dwindling fresh water supplies, chemical and radiation poisoning, rapid disintegration of family life, morality and common decency, etc, etc…..it’s all going bad.

Many people are continuing to ignore reality, or engaging in irrational optimism, a collective fantasy in believing the government must and will save us, or in believing they can continue indefinitely pursuing lifelong enjoyment of privilege and opulence, endless production and accumulation of wealth and material waste, filling ones lives with as much pleasure (and sometimes poison) as possible, without eventually poisoning ourselves and depleting the planet and causing massive suffering and serious physical and/or psychological harm not only to humans but to all living species. Religious people are often called delusional and immature; but people who indulge in those collective fantasies are delusional and immature without being religious.

When faced with threatening but uncertain future prospects that are impossible to resolve, avoid, or eliminate (such as slow death or gradual socio-economic disintegration and destruction of the planet) there is no reason why we should not choose an active, optimistic strategy motivated by hope and confidence of a good outcome rather than despair and paralysis. That’s the message of the Kingdom of God. Surprise, surprise!

The message of the Kingdom of God is a description of how wonderful the world can be and will eventually be. It’s also a system of principles that when followed by a sufficiently large number of people in all parts of the world will lay the foundations for a new and better world and hasten the collapse of the existing irrational and destructive empires and systems of population control. It’s no good, trying to put patches on an old, corrupt and dying civilization and “bring back the good old days” that really weren’t that good. This dramatic, revolutionary system of beliefs, hopes and guiding principles does not require the majority of people in the world to follow before success will be assured. It only requires those who are NOT irrational, selfish, short-sighted and immature to follow. The rest of the world can do what they like because they will end up, sadly, on the rubbish heap when this system collapses. The days of this technocratic, military-industrial-complex we call the United States are nearly over. When it collapses, the overconfident scoffers will be shocked into confusion, paralysis and hopelessness. So if anyone takes the message of the Kingdom of God seriously and applies the principles for guiding one’s life, he or she is assured to become part of a successful process that will offer the only hope and confident action for the long term future of the planet and it’s remaining, thriving inhabitants.

Some think the message of the Kingdom of God means going to church on Sundays; others think it’s just irrational religious nonsense. But it takes incredible wisdom and insight to appreciate that the governments of the world are too corrupt, self-absorbed, irrational and short-sighted to rightly solve the world’s problems. So the choice is clear – either we do what we have always done and end up on the rubbish heap, or take the message of the Kingdom of God to heart and apply the beliefs, hopes and principles for guiding our lives and renewing the earth. The government will not do that. The principles are neither difficult to understand nor impossible to do and already the small number of people who are finding the wisdom of this practical and realistic revolutionary way of life is growing. You will not find many of these sitting in the churches on Sundays. They will not be found among those filling their lives with as much pleasure as possible, or waiting in a queue for the next hand-out, nor among those stock-piling rations, guns and ammunition in hideaways and mini-fortresses. But you will find them if you actively seek them out. They are looking for good, honest, hard-working, peace-loving folks to join them.
