I haven't even touched on the many sexual perversions that are becoming rampant and tolerated by society. I for one am ready to leave this world because I am sick of it, it is wearing me down and I literally see little hope for the future generations.
I think it is a good thing that most of us who try to live righteously can't imagine how it can get worse, but it will. I don't know what things are like in New Zealand, but here in the US I expect we will soon see greatly increasing attacks on Christianity, to the point where many will lose their jobs over their beliefs and governments try to prohibit churches from teaching Christian principles that conflict with the government. Sooner or later we will have an economic collapse that will lead to a social collapse. When there is no law enforcement we will see just how depraved people can be, and I would rather not see that even though I hope to still be mortal at the Second Coming. There are prophecies of parents killing children just so they will have something to eat. Rape rates have declined significantly in the US over the last couple decades, but when this collapse happens I expect wicked people will grab and rape any halfway attractive woman they see. Groups will break into houses to steal food and valuables, gang raping any women or girls they find in the house.
I agree with you that there is little hope for future generations, if things continue as they are. But I don't think they can continue this way for much longer. The wicked are ripening in iniquity. When they are fully ripe Heavenly Father will allow the wicked to destroy the wicked, giving all of us a couple of difficult years, but then the greater wickedness that exists today will be eliminated and the future will grow increasingly bright as we approach the Second Coming.
Assuming you are from New Zealand, you are probably familiar enough with sailing to understand this parable. We are on a passage and there's a nasty looking squall line in front of us. For a little while it's going to be increasingly unpleasant, but once the storm passes we will have beautiful weather.
Here in Australia much of what you have said is already happening, Government is trying to impose a new curriculum called "Safe schools" they have called it an anti bullying programme but it is disguise for teaching children to accept LGBT, it has nothing to do with Anti bullying for example it teaches kids how to bind their breast if they identify as male and how to tuck their private parts if they are male identifying as female etc.
There is a huge economic downturn in the mining state of WA which is the wealthiest state in Australia, we have the highest unemployment rate and as quickly as everyone flocked here for the mining boom they have all left because the work has dried up, as a result of three unemployment rate our crime rate has skyrocketed, organised crime from the underworld is surfacing and drugs have ravaged communities.
Now I hope I haven't completely put you off WA because there is still good happening and it is beautiful here but in the space of almost 10 years society is almost unrecognisable this world is darkening at an accelerated rate, to me it would be cruel for Heavenly Father to not send our Saviour back before 2030, we need him this world and everyone in it is in trouble I know we are required to endure to the end and to have joy in this life it is something I strive to do but the prayer in my heart is and has been for a while now, for it just to be over.
