I’m going to unashamedly “borrow” a term that Art Bell used to mention periodically on his radio show – “The Quickening”. As Art explained it, the Quickening was a speeding up of events around the world. Things were happening at a rapid pace and society was changing forever.
If I may, I’d like to expand on Art’s thinking just a bit to categorize “The Quickening” into three parts, a three-legged stool or pillars of change. I also believe that “the Quickening” is an execution of God’s chastisement on humanity. Look at these three legs and think about it. If any one of the three legs goes TU, society will collapse. We're in a world of s*h*i*t.
• The Intellectual (or mental) leg. Attitudes and beliefs, unrestricted societal and government corruption, loss of liberty one step at a time.
• The Physical leg – earthquakes, mean weather patterns, volcanoes, food shortages, rising sea levels, pollution beyond all predictions, extinction events.
• Spiritual – turning away from God and propagating the humanist lifestyle.
A rolled-up-in-one combination of these three aspects of quickening has us on the ropes. We’re running out of health, resources, civility, honor, and love for God and our neighbor. Do you really think we’re going to make it through this chastisement? This nation was founded on and dedicated to God and we are at the point where a return may not be possible. Just saying.
