I am not a date-setter and really do not know God's timetables, but it is clear, even to the world, that things are becoming extremely tenuous everywhere on this sinful globe.


There is no doubt the West is being judged, including the United States. The Gentile nations have had their chance to turn from their evil ways and accept Christ as the only Savior, but that opportunity is quickly passing and there is coming a "close down" of acceptance of the gospel. Here are some statistics that one cannot hide or deny:


Things are getting so bad in England that half of the men say they would rather live abroad than in that country. Because they repudiated their Anglo-Saxon roots and their Christianity, Britain is now on the brink of judgment from the Muslim invasion. A poll shows that the greatest concerns (coming too late) are: immigration, high Muslim birthrates, and conversions to Islam. Seventeen percent of London is Muslim (1.3 million) out of 7.5 million people. Luton has 14.6 percent with 14.3 percent in Birmingham.


Cal Thomas notes that multiculturalism, globalism, and an emphasis on "interfaith" are destroying England. Interfaith-ism means truth does not exist! These things "contribute to the decline of the West just as paganism, hedonism and greed undermined past empires. Rather than learn from their mistakes, the West thinks it can engage in such practices without consequences."


British Prime Minister Gordon Brown has expressed concern about the loss of "Britishness" and the failure to learn English and embrace the national heritage. Islam will remake Britain in its own image.


Orthodox Jewish Rabbis also get the picture. Many Rabbis who see the way the world is going, and who still cling to the truths of the Old Testament give warnings to the West and to the failing Christianity of the West. After observing the wild charismatics in the U.S., writing in the Jerusalem Post Rabbi Shmuley Boteach says in an article entitled "God is not about us":

Ours ought never to be a religion of superstition catering to human frailty and weakness. Religion dare never take advantage of people's vulnerabilities and fears. Rather our purpose is to inspire people to righteous action. … The essential symbol of Judaism is Abraham being prepared to sacrifice his son to God, thereby establishing God at the epicenter of human endeavor to which all action must be directed. Man must be prepared to give up his life for God, not the reverse.
