For example, many people believe that the antichrist is a person that will rise up in the last days in the battle between God and evil.
What if it’s not a person but a nation, a lifestyle, a culture, or a generation?
Everything that Americans have been dealing with over the last few decades:
Homelessness and mental illness impacts every city in America.
Babies are thrown in the trash or alleys because of an
Increase in teen and unmarried pregnancies
Followed by an
Increase in abortions
Along with an
Increase in stds and variations into new STDs including HIV/AIDS
Sometimes accompanied with an
Increase in drug addictions – crack cocaine, meth, heroin, lsd, alcohol, cigarettes, marijuana, and e
Mainstream society seeks an
Increase in pharmaceutical drugs which also produces addictions
Due to an
Increase in medical conditions, chronic asthma/bronchitis, cancer, heart disease, diabetes, obesity and now an introduction to new diseases like autism and parkinson’s disease
Probably related to an
Increase in prepared and fast and dead foods
or maybe AIDS was developed by the government afterall.
When all else fails, there is an
Increase in suicide
Sometimes due to an
Increase in poverty and the glorification and participation in the drug dealing society
Due to an
Increase in unemployment
And an
Increase in bankrupticies and foreclosures
Usually caused by an
Increase in divorces
Which leads to an
Increase in homes headed by single parents
Confusion or genetic impact leads to an
Increase in homosexuality and promiscuity
Which allows an
Increase in pedophilia, sex addictions, and child pornography
In the meantime, Americans have also seen a tremendous amount of:
Corporate greed, false profits (and prophets)
Unethical and lying politicians
Anti Semitism, racism, sexism, classism
Discrimination for just about everything different from you (whoever you think you are)
Bubbles and Bursts in housing, capital markets, currencies
Offshoring of jobs to India
Corporations making more and more money – meanwhile people get poorer and poorer.
The rise in debt for individuals is on par with the rise of corporate profits.
These entire systems are over-run with what some might say are “un-Christian-like” or Godly behaviors.
Health Care
Education
Political & Government
Social & Entertainment
Commerce & Trade – including Financial Services, Oil/Energy, Pharmaceutical, and Consumer Product mega-corporations

What was America’s founding precepts again?
Oh, I just can’t remember cause of all the impacts of not having an adequate public education that was supposed to help me gain the skills to be a productive and law abiding United States citizen. Unfortunately, my focus has been on who’s going to be America’s Next Top Model and who will win American Idol. Who are you voting for next year?
