I know you've heard it said, history repeats itself.

A more sobering statement that I always quote is those who do not learn from history,

a doom to repeat its mistakes.

One of the repeated events in history is this.

Immediately prior to a coming judgment, you find a huge increase in the perversion, in the corruption, in hostility toward the Lord and his followers. All these things

tend to reach a fever pitch immediately prior to a coming judgment. You're going to find

this in the scripture. This is the case immediately

prior to Noah's flood. This is the case immediately prior to the burning of Sodom and Gomorrah.

You find that this was the case immediately before the judgment on Pharaoh. And you find that this is the case immediately

prior to the Babylonian exile in Israel. Now, I know some dear friends and people I really look up to

theologians and pastors who are saying that we are living in such a time now.

There are some that are saying that we are really actually under judgment now, that the

judgment has already begun and nothing can be done to stop it or delay it.

They say, look at the evidence. There is a global hatred toward

Christ and his followers. There is a rampant corruption and perversion in many historic

Christian denominations. There are practice of sexual perversion, even among people who occupy puppets.

There are abortionists who actually sit on church boards.

Children abuses appear to get off scot-free.

Courts are legalizing child pornography and call it free speech.

Greed and covetousness is now sanctified as something that we must demand from God, and

they call it faith.

Millions of churchgoers believe that there are many ways to God.
