"Where there is no vision, the people perish." - Proverbs 29:18

I don't leave my house much anymore. After getting attacked investigating a child trafficking ring a few years back, I developed severe PTSD and became a hermit. Most of my food comes from Amazon these days. But every now and then, I have to brave the outside world.

The other day, I bundled up against the freezing winter chill and zipped down to the local Dollar General on my e-scooter. As soon as I walked in, that harsh, institutional lighting hit me. The smell of plastic and chemicals hung in the air. Everything looked slightly poisonous under those fluorescent bulbs.

It was like a microcosm of what's happening to our nation. Main Street is dying, and the corporate machine is consuming the soul of small-town America. Dollar General is rising from the ashes, as faceless conglomerates swallow up local businesses one by one.

The Prophetic Timeline

This dystopian vision didn't come out of nowhere. The Bible warned us centuries ago about the end times - and the signs are all around us.

## The Mark of the Beast

Remember what the book of Revelation says about the "mark of the beast"? Digital currency, brain chips, surveillance - the technology is already here to track every move and every transaction. Soon, you won't be able to buy or sell without submitting to the system.

## The Rise of the One-World Government

The prophet Daniel foresaw a future world order dominated by a single global superpower. Doesn't that sound familiar? Multinational corporations wield more power than nation-states. The World Economic Forum openly talks about a "Great Reset" - a new world order is emerging before our eyes.

## The Moral Decay of Society

Isaiah warned that in the end times, "darkness shall cover the earth." Look around - morality is crumbling, violence is rising, and the foundations of civilization are shaking. We're witnessing the death throes of a society that has turned its back on God.

This is not the time to bury our heads in the sand. The handwriting is on the wall. Prophecy is unfolding before our very eyes. As concerned parents, we must open our eyes and prepare our families for the tribulation to come.

"The truth doesn't hide. It waits for those brave enough to look."
