How Will We React When We Realize We Have Crossed the Rubicon?

 I was at a party the other evening and the talk went to world events, the economy, war, and so on.  One middle aged woman said that if things get real bad she would give up.   I asked her “What will you do?  Would you kill yourself” to which she said  “Yes I probably would.”  I was shocked.  But it got me thinking.  How many other people think like she does?   How many will give up, capitulate, roll over or kill themselves?

We are at this point because we are constantly being fed a steady stream of lies and propaganda telling us that everything is okay and it’s getting better.  Yet no matter where we look we see major problems.  Many don’t see their life getting better.  They work hard and get nowhere.  Prices go up faster than wages.  Younger people are disillusioned wondering if they will ever be able to buy a house, get a good job, afford to raise a family.  Should they go to college?  Should they  sacrifice to get a career?  Some are already giving up.  Others already have and are living in tent cities.  Which way will it go from here?  Will life get better or will it get worse?  

So what will happen when we reach a point where we realize that we have crossed the Rubicon and there is now no way to go back.  When it all starts to implode.  The illusion of endless peace and prosperity coming to an end.  When  the future becomes scary and uncertain.  When banks start failing, when food becomes scarce and very expensive, when there is more and more violence, when our cities aren’t safe anymore, when armed gangs roam the streets, when unemployment goes way up, when we can barely feed our family, when the money system fails.   How will we as a society react?  Will it result in mass chaos?  Will the government impose strict controls over everything.  Will people become violent, angry, hateful, bitter.  I think most will.  They will feel deceived, lied to, taken advantage of, used.  They will demand justice and look for someone to blame for all this.  Riots, chaos and violence will result until martial law is declared and even after that.  As someone said, when people loose everything, they loose it.  Anything can happen and it will. 

I believe all this can and will happen very soon.  The reason is because we really are living in the End Times.  Our allotted days are coming to an end and judgment is coming.  Things will go from bad to worse and then to worse yet.  It will be a horrible time to be alive.  But there is a way out.  The Bible clearly says that believers in Jesus Christ are not appointed to suffer wrath, that is why God will take us out at the right time.  This is what gives me comfort when I read about all the evil things happening in the world.  Otherwise I too would be ready to give up.  But I know that God does not lie.  He always tells the truth.  And the truth is that if we believe in God and Jesus we will be spared because there is no need for us to be tested any further, we have already made our decision.  As someone said “I read the last chapter….God wins”.   If you still don’t believe in Jesus, you too can be spared.  You can find out how by Clicking Here.
