I believe in God but that doesn't change the suffering that is headed towards us. I think that is partially our fault, we were complacent for too long, living the good life. Life is getting harder each day.

Yes, I know I certainly was complacent for too long, busy raising kids and trying to be a productive citizen. And I just kept naively thinking, “well, they won’t do THAT.” And every time, “they” did whatever that was, and worse. Hard to comprehend the evil humans are capable of.
I’ve watched that coming for more than 50 years now. Governments ALWAYS turn tyrannical. Our Nation”s Founders certainly understood that. And a court just declared that AR 15’s aren’t “protected” by the 2nd Amendment.
You are watching in real time as the tyrants strengthen their grasp around YOUR throat.
It's time for us to stop being surprised by any of the horrors mankind is capable of. Remember the Milgram experiments? The powers that be now know that 2/3 of us are capable of shocking someone to the point of death simply driven by Expert prodding. Thinking about that is powerful. We must have faith in God, not man. I'm sure most of us on here are already at that realization, but it bears repeating as we all forget sometimes, I'm sure.
the first killing or 3 are repugnant yet once one is used to it one can actually be exhilarated and tantalized by it, these sick Fks have studied how torturing and slaughtering and cannibalizing can be mainstreamed into the ordinary average person with the proper techniques.
Truth. And remembering that as the Israelites were being carted off to Babylon. The faithful along with the unfaithful were carted off. BUT, many of those remained faithful and hopeful for God's promises.
The ten tribes of the Northern Kingdom of Israel that were carried off into captivity never came back to the land when the Southern Kingdom of Judah invited them. They subsequently disappeared off the pages of recorded history, thus the name the 10 Lost Tribes. Only the people of the Southern Kingdom of Judah and those Levites who lived there with them were the majority of residents when the Messiah came in the flesh. Of those, you can read in the NT how many were faithful and accepted the Lord when He came to them. Jesus Himself warned them to escape the judgement and tribulation to come and Jesus warned them again through the vision He gave John in Revelation. Thus the faithful were saved. The rest who didn't accept the coming of the Messiah faced the great tribulation when God laid Jerusalem desolate and destroyed the Temple and the genealogies ending forever the prior sacrificial system now that The Sacrifice had come in the Person of God's Son.
We, the church, seem to be in the same condition today as few in the church seem to understand the above anymore.
I have never seen that in scripture. But faithful and unfaithful Jews were waiting for a Messiah to come as promised. So, I can see that as a possibility for some. Even as the scriptures are God's word, they are still a bit 2 dimensional. Meaning in between those sentences there was life and time going on. Things we don't get to see as words on paper.
"I believe in God but that doesn't change the suffering that is headed towards us."
Was talking with a lady after Mass yesterday. Her husband has a good job with a power company, but she was bemoaning the effects of inflation and how they were struggling to keep food on the table.
(Fortunately for them, the husband got two deer last week, so at least they'll have meat.)

We never thought that our own government would turn on us.
The biomedical security state military industrial complex.
Yes they did, but it's still shocking, isn't it?
They did a long time ago, Kathleen.

But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies,
then know that her desolation is at hand. Then let those
who are in Judea flee to the mountains, and let those who
are in the midst of the city depart, and let not those who are
in the country enter the city; because these are the Days of
Vengeance, IN ORDER THAT ALL THINGS WHICH ARE WRITTEN MAY BE FULFILLED.
Luke 21:20-22
You know they considered cyrus the great the messiah.

It's in their writings in the old testament Cyrus the great The messiah.
Also the Talmud
Many thought Nero was the antichrist.

But you're correct: it's going to get much worse.
