Jesus warned His disciples concerning the sign of His 2nd coming.
In verse 12 Jesus prophecy's that
"the love of many shall wax cold."
Over the last twelve years of my life I have been blessed enough to spend time throughout fourteen different countries and twenty-one different states in this country meeting with thousands of people, and the literal fulfillment of this two thousand year old prophecy has become quite obvious to me. I have become aware of a significant and growing population of citizens who literally have no one in their life, no where to go, and to whom "love" is something completely dead and nothing more than a myth. Retired, disabled or handicapped, homeless, and many more who literally have no friends and no family, or if they have family alive they are not on speaking terms. There are whole communities of disabled people who lay in bed or sit around all day because they are unable to move for various reasons and they have no one in their life and rely on organizations like 'meals on wheels' to send someone daily just to bring them meals and other nonprofits like 'Helping Hands' or private healthcare organizations to send someone once a week to help them clean up and change or with other various simple tasks. And how many grandparents have been dumped in poor nursing homes never to receive a visit from anyone where they are then treated like dirt, assaulted, raped, and even killed either on purpose or from negligent care.
Speaking from personal experience, love has definitely 'waxed cold' for me as well. I have been stabbed in the back and turned on and treated like trash by literally everyone I have ever loved, including everyone who ever claimed to 'love' me, and including almost every type of institution at every level. It's my experience that a good, trustworthy, kind, forgiving person is very rare today and almost a myth. Even most companies today solely exist to take advantage of consumers, or constantly try to sneak in charges, or care more about profit margins than quality, and even indirectly torture animals to save some bucks. The vast majority of people today are selfish, greedy, backstabbing, and brainwashed brain-dead idiots who will turn on you in a second and turn their back on you if you tell the wrong joke. I have been assaulted by family, former friends, and strangers, I was severely abused by my dad, I was turned on and kicked out of Bob Jones Academy three weeks til graduation for going bowling with girls, I've even been turned on by the church and kicked out over a misunderstanding, I was banned from Clearwater Christian College for standing up for myself after I was assaulted, I was metaphorically bent over and mentally raped for years in the Army and then thrown away like garbage without a dime or benefits after eight years for choosing to exit three months early, I've been harassed by police and falsely arrested seven times including a false conviction for something I did not do, I was cheated on by the last two girlfriends, I've been forced out of four different living situations because someone turned on me over something stupid, I've been ripped off by Progressive car insurance, Chase bank, several cellphone companies, Best Buy, Paypal, and numerous other companies whose poor products broke immediately after use, and lastly this government who continues to attempt to steal every dollar I make and then throw it down a bottomless hole. Because of my experiences love is dead to me and I am completely sick of this world. I have lost complete trust in anyone or anything, and I literally have zero friends except for my girlfriend. Even my family is dead to me. Out of my parents and three siblings, only my mom and I ever talk. Two siblings have even blocked me from social media. By pure instinct today I do not truly open up anymore and I have strong, thick walls barring anyone from simply entering my life. Although I would love friends, isolation is easier because people are just backstabbers, drama, pain, and unstable. What kills me is that I give everything for others. I constantly bend over backwards. I constantly give of my time and money. I've donated thousands of dollars, including several vehicles to those in need. And I've volunteered thousands of hours of my time through various local community organizations, including numerous Churches, a veteran's organization, and even a homeless shelter. It just makes it that much more painful when you give everything and in return get spit on.
And I am not unique. Many people, more and more, today are finding themselves in a very similar situation with no one they can trust or turn to, including family. And as the morality of this country declines so much that children are in danger of being raped or taken advantage of by teachers, coaches, priests, and even their very own parents, with divorce now passes 50% in our country, while most relationships are built on casual flings of lust and then naturally failing within a short period of time one can be sure things will only get worse.
Just another example of Biblical prophecy literally being fulfilled before our eyes. For more examples, check out my "Last Hour" page and first blog entitled "Ezekiel."
