In the twilight, the sun gradually loses its power to scatter the darkness. When it finally sets, night claims its victory. God has established this order in nature but he has not decreed cycles of nights for human affairs. If people live according to His word, light always reigns.

But this has not happened. Mankind compromises with darkness and yields to its powers. The great sun is setting, not because God has decreed this but because man has chosen the darkness. He sacrifices God’s sun and clings to the artificial lights that he himself controls.

O foolish mankind, Satan cannot control the sun because God has decreed its course and guaranteed forever that it would bless the earth. However, Satan can gain full control of the artificial lights that you trust and cling to. This is a slippery path but I have given the locutionist a well-trained tongue.

Because oil is coveted by so many, Satan has used it in the past and will use it even more in the future. The situation is more precarious than perceived. Many reserves lie in the hands of evil nations.

The money supply has so greatly increased that the true value of the dollar is hard to reckon. How safe is it? Can it withstand serious shocks and challenges to its stability?

More important is the unrest among so many groups. Walls that had fallen are quickly being rebuilt. Self-interests shout so loudly that voices of unity and reconciliation are no longer heard. The political structures that have guaranteed unity can no longer contain the diverse groups. The seams will burst soon. These forms of darkness can usually be kept at bay so the light wins the victory but the breaking point is being reached and the twilight enters into nightfall.
