− | "With the world’s resources diminishing and ever growing numbers of people drinking from a slowly shrinking well the risk of competition, conflict and war is increasing. Groups and nations that are already in contention with one another will find it difficult to resist the temptation to claim those resources that they need for their own peoples. As resources diminish nations will become more protective of what they have. And there will be less available for nations around the world to purchase these resources, resources here, not merely industrial materials, but food, the availability of water, medicines, things that are fundamental to the wellbeing of people everywhere."

Everything will deteriorate--nations,cultures, cities. Everything will deteriorate. Everyone will become poorer and more desperate."

Futility of Past Prophecies
"God is not a bunch of ideas or teachings from the past or even predictions by ancient prophets. It is a living experience within yourself."[1]
“Many people claim to have knowledge of the universe, but how can they know? They have been trapped on the surface of this one world—believing, hoping and speculating; trying to comprehend past revelations and prophecies or trying to project their understanding into realms far beyond their experience or awareness. Complex theories may be established. Prophecies from the past may be attempted to be fulfilled in current times. But these must all prove inadequate, for humanity is without education regarding the larger universe in which you exist and which you will have to face increasingly, both now and in the times to come.” [2]
