Nigh the fall of every Civilization
The babes are seen as food.
The men and women begin to lust after themselves.
The society begins to obscure gender.
The culture no longer understands love, but becomes vicious.
Property begins to dissipate.
Men are not appalled at murder.
Nor are they appalled at rape.
Children become vessels for expiring lustly desire.
Divorce begins to appear en masse.
Virginity is no longer prized, but is considered base.
Adultery increases, and women and men do not stay faithful.
Your fellow citizen begins to spy upon you.
Men will report on men to authorities for naught.
They will oppress the poor and the stranger.
They have no communal days of rest.
They forsake their traditions and holidays.
They muse of rebellion.
This is a short list, but what is observed by me
When I study the patterns of civilization.
Native Americans,
Japanese,
Chinese,
Europeans,
Russians,
Aztecs,
Tribes in Africa,
Persians,
Babylonians,
Egyptians,
Arabians,
Incans
Canaanites
Jews---
The pattern exists across all human cultures I've studied.
If men begin to behave more like animals than men
And are not conquered,
Or starve themselves,
Or enslave themselves by corrupt governments
Or create dark ages,---
They live at the frontiers as brigands and can enjoy none of the benefits of peace.
Mark 13:51Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord. 52Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.
