Nobody wants to think about when the world falls apart. Most will simply ignore this message as they have ignored most prophetic messages, while some will spin their own interpretation, while others will take it to heart seeking God’s guidance for the days ahead. I pray that you do the latter. The problem with today’s world, to use an old idiom, is that most are, “going from pillar to post.” They are always searching for the truth, most often in the wrong place, causing them to change what they believe multiple times and never arrive at the truth. They don’t know the truth about themselves or the world in which they live. So, when the world starts to fall apart, most won’t recognize it until it’s too late. Even if some recognize the decline and try to stop it, it will slip into total madness, because they don’t know the truth about how to stop it. The political establishment cannot stop the decline. The lukewarm church cannot stop the decline. Everything they do will end up in chaos. I hope to spare you of that, by convincing you that the world as we now know it has been falling apart for some time now and is gradually getting worse until it becomes unrecognizable. That should not only frighten you, but it should horrify you. So, please let me encourage you to learn how to stop the decline before it’s too late.

To get our bearings we need to journey back to a quieter time before the internet, cellphones, 24-hour news, and social media. Family and church were at the center of what most of us did. If we were not reading a good book, then we were sitting on the front porch visiting face-to-face with our neighbors. We were taught at an early age that God had all the answers to our questions about the universe and was more than capable of solving all of our physical and emotional problems. We learned early on how to apply God’s Word in the Bible to every situation and understood well the necessity of prayer and meditation. Of course, we had our wars and rumors of wars. We had our diseases and vaccines. We had our occasional crazy person. Yes, we even had our criminals that were rarely seen or even talked about. We also had those people who were unfamiliar with God’s solutions in the Bible, so we spent ample time with them to help them overcome their emotional chaos. However, in time things began to slowly change in the world making it nearly unrecognizable by most. The world was no longer the same. It was as if we had all entered some kind of future shock.

After sixty years of witnessing this change, we have come to realize that the world we once knew was falling apart. It was no longer the same. Although the physical world has also changed putting humanity at risk, it is the change to humanity that’s put it in far greater danger. The danger is so eminent that if we don’t reverse course soon it will be most difficult to put into words what will happen. In today’s world, we have seen crazy or insane people doing horrible things. We have seen criminals do the unthinkable, shocking our insensibilities. We have seen an increase in hate and violence where the whole world is bashing one another. We have seen an increase in suicide. Now, imagine with me for a moment if nearly every person on the planet was carried away with this kind of horrific behavior, it would be beyond pandemonium or chaos. This is exactly where humanity is headed, destroying one another along with the physical planet. It’s not too late to stop it, but we must act today. If we don’t, then all will be lost. If we don’t stop the decline, then the Antichrist will come and restore order by putting humanity under his control. The lawless one will promise law and order and a bright future.

So, how can we stop it? First, we must realize that we are emotional creatures created in God’s image. Yes, we have had many physical problems but at the heart of all our problems are our emotions. As emotional creatures, we need love, compassion, and understanding from others. We need a sense of belonging. We need to understand our changing and often erratic emotions. We need to understand what drives our behavior. We need to understand our passion for learning and becoming. When we observe the world today, we see that humanity has lost control of its emotions. Most are no longer in control leading them to seek advice from a world being run by the powers of darkness. Satan and his powers of darkness will not give you the truth but allow everyone to sink deeper and deeper into the pit of immortality. Satan is laughing at humanity who has rejected the truth from their Creator and has accepted the lie believing that they have the power within themselves to overcome their problems. This is the same lie given to humanity from the very beginning and throughout every age believing that they can harness their own power. In ages past, humanity has believed that they could harness the power from their idols, then later through their higher learning, then eventually through their drugs, and in the coming days through their technology or artificial intelligence. Satan has convinced humanity that they have the power within themselves to overcome all of their problems and should only pay lip service to their God.

Well, we know all too well that humanity is not capable of solving its own emotional and psychological problems. Even when artificial intelligence is introduced, it will fail. There is only one answer that can turn the tide. Humanity must trust God who is the only one capable of solving all of their problems. This will not be an easy thing for the world but it will not be impossible. We must demonstrate to the world that God can make a difference in our lives if we believe the Gospel and trust in Him alone to give us everything that we need for life and godliness. The Bible says, “According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue” (II Peter 1:3). So, it is God who has the power to give us everything we need to solve all of our problems in life. This knowledge comes from God’s only begotten Son, a knowledge that allows us to overcome every problem in life. This amazing knowledge will help us to put off the old life of sin and put on the new life in Christ, a life that is completely different from fallen humanity. This awesome knowledge will also lead us to the glory of our new life in Christ, which has been transformed, allowing us to partake of the divine nature (II Peter 1:4).

Those who have tasted this wonderful knowledge given to us in the Bible can attest to experiencing one little miracle after another as God works everything together for good for those who love God and have been called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28). Unfortunately, the modern church has all but rejected this Scripture truth and have turned to the world to receive their knowledge that comes from the powers of darkness. Moreover, this false knowledge along with their psychotropic drugs and counseling, are unable to resolve humanity’s issues. The only way that we can reverse the damage caused to humanity is to come out from among them and be separate (II Corinthians 6:17-18). I have been preaching this for years to no avail. It is like the entire world is hooked on the knowledge that comes from the powers of darkness. They simply don’t want to give it up. Most believers in Christ have integrated the world’s knowledge with the teachings of the Holy Scripture, which is an abomination. To do so will keep them in bondage to Satan and the coming Antichrist. We will never stop the decline and deliver our people from bondage until we have truly come out from the fallen world bringing our children and grandchildren with us. If God’s true children will come out from the world by no longer trusting in the political establishment, the lukewarm church, public education, the news media, and social media, then we will be able to stop the decline into chaos. Dear children, let us be counted among the faithful remnant by stopping the decline into chaos.
