Godly Separating from the Ungodly
I have been of the strong impression that our World is starting to separate with the Godly population being on one side and those opposed to God being on the other side; and I believe that the lines are getting more Defined.
Years ago, in the 1800's, and early-to-mid 1900's 'most-everyone led an Outwardly Godly life (at least when they thought that others could see them). States had Blue Laws discouraging work on Sundays, being divorced was a scandal, and being an unwed parent or gay was not viewed as something to be admired.
Yes, there were pockets of evil, like Hitler and other dictators, but they were considered as aberrations, not the norm.
It does not take a lot of imagination to see that those days are gone, and even reversed by much of society. Evil is becoming widespread & gaining ground, and the Godly Population is being squeezed.
But:
It seems to me that this "squeezing" of God's Population is causing a "concentration" of His Spirit, much as you squeeze the cultured cream (cheese curd) and it produces pure cheese, and the watery whey is left behind.
I was just listening to the radio, and heard a song with the words, "With every act of Love, we bring the Kingdom Come".
That ain't worldly wisdom, boys & girls. That's a Revelation. And I think that more & more Revelations of God are coming to us at an accelerated rate. But Revelations don't come with neon arrows pointing at them saying, "Here's Your Revelation". When we become more spiritually sensitive, they become much more apparent.

Re: Godly Separating from the Ungodly
I can't argue with this. I agree it's the direction we heading, more and more polarization. The question is the same as its been for the last few centuries, when?

Re: Godly Separating from the Ungodly
Same as it was in the days of Noah so it will be now. There was a time pre flood when men turned to God but then came apostasy by Noah's day.
