There is no purpose to anything. Humans are here only by chance. People like to give things more meaning than they deserve because it makes them feel good. It's the same reason that so many people are absolutely convinced that there is an afterlife where no concrete evidence exists to support it. No divine being is going to save this or any other country. We will probably kill ourselves in World War 3. If that doesn't happen first, we will destroy the ecosystem. It's not prophecy being fulfilled. It's the pure stupidity of the human race doing itself in.

  Please be nice to each other and show respect to one another's beliefs.  Nobody will likely ever convince someone with a differing viewpoint otherwise on a forum such as this. If the vitriol escalates any further, this topic will end up being locked.

Welp you have you have your beliefs and I have mine, I personally believe the prophecy is being fufilled and if you can't see it then idk what to tell ya but I am not gonna argue I'm gonna keep it civilized.

First, if we believe that God is Omnipotent, Omniscient and Omnipresent as I was taught in the last half of the last century, then He can do what He wants to do, and its none of our control or speculation that will alter that one bit.  God does not even have to obey the Bible to get stuff done if you agree with the first part of that sentence.  It would be TOO MANY contradictions in that idea. 

I am sure that big changes need to be made, and there is plenty of old rotten junk out there that is not worth saving in any sense of the word.  I believe in a Creator that can do some fantastic makeovers if we play by His non-rules that make him the boss.  Instead we are listening to people who claim to be God's voice, but who cannot hear it themselves.  Too many "false prophets" are cluttering up the landscape and are the real stumbling blocks for those who will lift their Cross and get hiking.

seems to me Gods done pretty good. food , shelter , warmth, a planet to stand on. any blame should be directed towards the humans that were given the freedom to do their own thing
