I have a background in sociology and psychology. So I often see the overall patterns of human behaviour within families, socialisation and culture. This may contribute to the way I see things and visions I see for how culture and the world is and will develop.

Overall I see that in recent times and especially in the 20th century and magnified post 2000 a growing spiritual war. All reasons for everything is coming down to belief in God or no God and other gods or beliefs. Not about politics, or rights or even religion. Though these are put forward as the reasons. But a spiritual battle for souls.

The main reason I see is that since God has been taken from the public square and even hated. That includes Christianity, the traditional church and even conservatism such as traditional values in marriage and family.

But these are the manifestations of the underlying spiritual battle. We know that humans are moral creatures so taking out God still requires some sort of transcedent aspect of morality and meaning to life. There are many rationalisations for a Godless world and universe and reality. But they never seem to fully account for what God does.

The vision: That is a bit of background. But the vision I can see happening as we apeak and possibly into the near future as things seem to be happening so fast now. I can see that the side that rejected God and all its manifestations is running out of rationalisations and excuses that these new world ideologies are the answer. Will bring all the promised goodness and happiness that was and is being claimed and acted out.

We are more or less going through a reality check and the worlds ideas about life, who we are and materiaslism and science and all that is actually the lie. These were all satans deceptions to build his kingdom on earth. But as Christ says he is the truth and the truth will set you free. God spirit is pouring out that satans lies are being exposed as unreal and even evil and crazy however it is being manifested at this time.

In other words a cultural paradigm shift. maybe a reality shift is happening. A shift beyond Postmodernism which denied truth into one that is exposing the lies that there is no truth.

As a result this will sort the wheat from the chaff. The anti Gods, other gods and anti Christ, or the world. Anti Jews which has risen and all the other lies will be on one side. I think people will be called no matter what side of politics or persuation to align with the lie or the truth.

This will completely turn society and probably the world upside down. In other words because time has now gone by where we know better and can tell the difference between the lie and deception of anti Christ satan and Christs truth.

Because many things have been claimed and tried and failed and exposed. The choice will narrow and become more clear between Christ or anti Christ. Though this will never be so obviously stated that way in many choices and alignments people make.

I think at the same time Gods spirit is reproving Christians. If you are a Christian then now is the time to be one in the true spirit of Christ. Which is to sacrifice ones self.

At the same time satan never gives up and as he is being exposed he is now more fully allowing demons to come out in people. This will be with rage and hate at being exposed. But also more cunning. This will be a big step towards a clear destinction between Christs truth and satans lies.

This is only part of what I can see happening sociologically and spiritually. In some ways its not altogether a spiritual vision as much seems a logical and predictable consequence of what has been happening. But then God does work in practical ways. The Isrealites wanted a King so God gave them one. Then power went to their heads and it was not until they were going off the rails that God sent a prophet to bring vision and hope back.

Anyway maybe someone has had similar visions or thinking. I think there is a spiritual aspect because whatever it is that people are fighting for and wanting a better world. It seems very personal and transcendent to this world. Like its a matter of life and death.

There are thee angels in Revelation 14. The third angel's message is that the whole world will be lighted with God's Glory. I understand that to mean, God's character will be revealed in a particular and unprecedented way. This will of course spur Satan on to misrepresent and counterfeit efforts that God's people put out to represent God well.
No doubt there will be many lying wonders to throw people off....and as Jesus says, lawlessness will abound.

Yes and God never allows evil for too long before He makes Himself more fully known to the world. This has repeated time and time again in history.

I hear young people are coming back to the church in response to the misery and chaos they have seen by the world which has failed to bring about true people and happiness. Now is the time for Christ to shine that people will see the clear difference and the true peace and life He offers.
