U.N. Secretary-General Says 'Wind Of Madness' Is Sweeping Earth



NPR: 'Wind Of Madness' Is Sweeping Earth, U.N. Secretary-General Says

U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres laid out a sobering view of the current state of the world Tuesday, saying that "a wind of madness is sweeping the globe" as instability erupts into unpredictable and violent conflicts. The problems are made even worse, he said, by faltering economic situations and countries that disrespect U.N. Security Council resolutions "before the ink is dry."

2 Timothy 3:1-5 ESV
But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.

Yes, the world will see another revelations as it has several times already. I personally think we are in this period but hard to tell at this point. History will tell us later. So; after a bit (lot!) more calamity in the world, we will have a period of renewal.
