The signs are like blinking neon lights that we are deep into the edges of a major turning point in human history as insanity/mental illness has now been redefined and embraced as 'diversity'. 

But what I think and say is of little consequence. I am not a known name, I am not an influencer and so I could write a million words and still it would be like a teardrop hitting the middle of the ocean.

However, lately, I've heard and read some very interesting commentary from others, from the most unexpected sources, that have made my heart quicken. Is it possible that eyes are opening? And would it not be ironic if the opened eyes, that are now seeing the real cause underneath the demise of our civilization were not those of the preachers or well known Christians but of those who claim to be 'not religious' or who have been staunch supporters of liberal ideals which are generally speaking not particularly in line with Christian values?

What has sparked my attention is the calling out of the overtly demonic influences in every corner of our society. Evil is being called out as what it is ... well... demonic.

Just a few examples:

• The decimation of the basic distinct male and female biological reality. 

• Human sacrifice renamed as 'women's health'. 

• Debased, pornographic sexualizing even the youngest of children in schools and libraries is praised as 'equity'. 

• Self defense against an assaulter is now a criminal act. 

• Calling for violence and insurrection is noble (unless it is against the accepted narrative). And those who dare to declare the Emperor is naked (and demented) are summarily silenced, vilified, canceled and destroyed. 

• Up is down, down is up, good is evil, evil is good.  I believe there is Scripture that predicts such a set of circumstances covering the world like poisonous mold ( Isaiah 5:20 ; 2 Timothy 3:1).

So, here it is - my interpretation of what is underneath the rise of evil, that has been redefined and celebrated as VIRTUOUS and RIGHTEOUS and now being called out as 'demonic' by others:

Yes, it is demonic but let's call out who/what has been allowed to direct the script - it's satan pulling out all the stops using his minions in an all out determination to destroy God's creation. Is this, then, the time for sorting of the wheat and tares?  What has been hidden is now being revealed? Those who refuse to see are blinded lest they see?

Spoiler alert: What the minions don't know is that, first, they are minions, with no original ideas, everything they believe and stand for was planted in their minds that they should believe the lie and therefore bring to completion God's plan. (After all, God did write the script and knows how the story ends).

And second, they also are oblivious to the harsh reality that satan could care less what happens to them when he is done with them - they are all expendable. Thus they will reap the rewards they have so faithfully earned.

One day, hopefully sooner than later. 

We, as Christians, who adhere to what is now deemed archaic principals, are often silenced by Scripture taken out of context and sharpened into a weapon to keep us in stand down mode. When evil is taking advantage of the faithful, we are told to love our enemies and pray for them. We are told to turn the other cheek instead of defending against assault. But the Holy Scriptures are full of circumstances that allow for Christians to stand up for what is truly right, rather than be subservient to evil. Christ turned over the sellers tables in the Temple, did He not? 

Conclusion: I'm not required to love satan or his minions but I am allowed to discern who the enemy is and resist anything that is clearly in direct opposition to God. That includes, btw, fallen Christianity, of every denomination, that has acquiesced to the current stream of consciousness in order to go along to get along lest those who have amassed great wealth under the disguise of Christianity lose their standing.

To wink at iniquity for the sake of peace is not a proof of superior spirituality; it is rather a sign of a reprehensible timidity which dare not oppose sin for fear of the consequences. For it will cost us heavily to stand for the right when the wrong is in the majority, which is 100 percent of the time.
