One of the oddities that I took from my service in Vietnam was to look at the world differently than others. Don't think I am trying to state that I am a singularity as I'm certain that this change is what others realize also; sooner or later than I.
The change brought me to the Bible and the Bible brought to me a way of thought I wouldn't have found otherwise. I am, in this world, one of the fools that believes that book tom be the word of God. I have no doubt of this so I now look at the world as a foul place which is so far from the Word that it is reaping that which it has sown.
Quite a while ago I began thinking of nukes as the main catalyst of how evil this world is becoming. We carried nuclear warheads aboard our ship and at the time I thought of it as, "Don't mess with us!" My view has changed drastically now as these same weapons are now holding our world hostage just through the threat of their use.
I don't think it is overstating it to say that God is not happy about this either. It is those nukes that make me realize the time that we are in is the time of winding down. God will not stand to have His planet ruined due to our stubbornness. It is a thought which is now at the forefront of my mind as the world plods mindlessly along without knowledge of the Word of God.
