Before going further, we must stop and see what is taking place. On the world stage, light seems to claim no victories while darkness spreads with little resistance. Leaders are helpless and their efforts only multiply the darkness.

Like multiple fighters in the same ring intent on destroying each other, all the world has become a clash of selfish interests. This problem will multiply as people realize the shortage of resources. There is no one answer because there is no one problem. The entire landscape is filled with lightning points where interests clash.

So often, I have tried to explain what is not seen, the hidden forces behind the scenes. Modern man has walked away from these beliefs. The supernatural world lies in his intellectual trash bin. Mankind has rejected the saving wisdom which should have guided these centuries and has enthroned instead his own goddess of reason. Oh, modern man, look where reason without faith, intelligence without hope, and knowledge without love have led you. You thought that you had “come of age” when, in fact, you had regressed to a world shorn of the light of Jesus.

What will I do with you? How in the world can I help you? You are so entangled, so complicated, so intertwined, so vulnerable, so helpless in the face of the spreading darkness. Your wounds are so gaping and the fever of your illnesses climbs quickly.

These are my words. Believe them and act on them. You must let all these events preach to you. They will be my preachers. They will remind you of the faith you have spurned and of the religious practices that you have left behind. They will call good people to fervor. They will set captives free from the chains of unbelief. I promise to use these events. Millions will turn to me, especially as I raise up the one I have chosen. In him, I have placed all my wisdom.
