Retail Apocalypse: 12,000 Store Closings Expected In 2018, Following 9,000 In 2017

Kerry Attacks Trump’s Wall Proposal, Tells Northeastern Univ Grads to Prepare for ‘Borderless World’

Campus persecution:

Prepare for the coming persecution. Prepare to face these ‘hate Christ’ clubs in school. In many places, Christian young people who take an open stand for Christ will be verbally stoned by those their own age. --The Vision, 1973

Transgenderism:

According to biblical prophets, one of the most significant flash points of judgment is “when your men become as women.” It seems we now have multitudes who say, “Don’t call me male or female, call me person.” Tragically, this emphasis on personhood has created a generation of neurotics with no respect for God-ordained roles. --Racing Toward Judgment, 1976
