We >only< need to be concerned about these dire prophecies IF our generation is infected with lies, deceit, avarice, control issues, mechanization,
exploitation of resources and people and unholy wars against the innocent and the guile-less.
Woops. I guess we DO NEED to be concerned then.
Oh well. For my part, all I can do is what James, the brother of Jesus, articulated: "The form of worship that is clean and undefiled from the
standpoint of our God and Father is this: to look after orphans and widows in their tribulation and to keep oneself without spot from the world."
(To me that means, remaining Law-abiding.)
And where God's Law and Men's Law conflict, I'll go with God's Law, which is Commonsense and has good outcomes.
And where death is the penalty, I'll go for forgiveness, as Jesus did.
And the rest of the world will just have to get along without my judgments about their behavior, since I'm not an appointed judge.
