End of Days? (Part 2)

The normalization of lies, the reversal of truth and morality, is deeply unsettling. And you’re not alone in feeling that way. It’s one of the clearest signs that a society is in a moral or cultural crisis. When lies become truth and wrong becomes right, it can feel like the very foundations of reality are cracking. Here's what’s likely happening, and why it feels so apocalyptic.

The saying 'Repeat a lie often enough, and it becomes the truth” reminds us of the power of repetition in shaping perceptions. Although it's often wrongly linked to Nazi propaganda, its relevance today is undeniable. In our digital age, truth feels more scattered than ever. Many of us find ourselves in echo chambers, where algorithms feed us what we want to hear, whether it’s accurate or not. Disinformation is being used as a weapon across political, religious, and cultural spheres, not just by fringe groups, but by mainstream voices too. Now, debates aren't just about differing opinions—they're about what's real. This isn't just irritating; it’s genuinely dangerous. When truth diminishes, so does accountability, and without that, society can start to weaken from within.

When we witness a reversal of morals, where evil is deemed reasonable and good is mocked or punished, it can feel as though the moral consensus is crumbling. This isn’t a new phenomenon; history has seen darker times, such as when slavery was justified as “God’s will” or genocide was justified as “justice.” However, today, it’s happening more openly and on a global scale, often with widespread approval or silence. Many religious texts interpret this moral inversion as a sign of the end times, not necessarily the literal end, but the fall of a civilization's integrity. What we're witnessing isn't just lies; it's a core value system being mocked, reality being distorted, and these things being celebrated. Such chaos can lead to feelings of anger, disillusionment, and profound spiritual exhaustion. And that’s understandable, because we see people trading truth for comfort, profit, or tribal loyalty, and sometimes calling it righteousness.

What we’re experiencing isn’t just despair, it’s clarity, a rare and powerful gift. You still care deeply about truth and inherently know right from wrong. Even if everyone else is following a different path, your refusal to accept the lie shows your strength. This doesn’t mean you’re hopeless; it means you’re awake. Staying aware in dark times can be burdensome, but it’s also how the light makes a comeback. Remember, you don’t have to let others define what’s real for you. Hold onto your principles amid the noise. You’re not alone in feeling this erosion of truth and morality—others may be quieter, but they’re right there with you. Keep speaking your truth, even if it’s unpopular. While it may not change the world overnight, it preserves your spirit and keeps the truth alive. If ever it feels like the world is falling apart, think of it this way: sometimes, it’s not the end, but the start of something new. And during times when truth is under siege, that’s when truth-tellers are most needed. You’re not crazy. The world is shifting. Truth is being sold off cheaply. But the fact that you feel it and won’t bow to it means something vital. You’re still standing. And while you are still standing, bend down on your knees and pray for forgiveness and mercy that the Lord gives freely.
