As we see the Gregorian year pass behind us in what can only be described as a year of momentous change, many of the friends of the Cepher may have much to discuss. This was a year of upheaval - a time when Pax Americana passed and a multi-polar world emerged; when the faith in American media, American politics and the American dream were shattered on the hard stone of intrinsic corruption, failed politics, banking bullying., market manipulation, and the ascendency of AI. Our military industrial complex in a bid to secure inordinate profits, overturned the idea of a single worldwide market, abusing sanctions to force compliance to a degenerate agenda from many nations in order to sustain an otherwise fading dominance. The facade of an ideal democracy, a moral nation defending human rights, and a world economic model has faded into the oblivion of non-stop scandal, allegations of corruption, and a complete abandonment of the constitutional republic by the nation's leaders. It has become difficult to imagine that the main arguments in our society is whether pornography should be available to 1st and 2nd graders as a matter of federal curriculum choices, whether a solution exists to deal with the thousands of homeless on the streets of our cities, and whether we should abandon all American needs including toxic spills in Ohio, the destruction of our major food processing plants, and the collapsing of the middle class into $1.1 trillion of credit card debt, to fund a proxy war against Russia in Ukraine.Is there a new normal? Is there any normal? And what do we see in faith? How many have come to deny the Mashiach? How many churches have closed? How many churches have redefined themselves under a different banner - abandoning the faith in favor of a social club, a prosperity ring, a positive thinking network, or a fund raising agent for either the church leadership or the nation of Israel?Is prophecy of the end times now unfolding? Are the prophecies of Chazon (Revelation) coming to pass? Is the Antichrist ready to emerge? Is he already with us?Join us to discuss these things as we have a conversation among friends.Scriptural references will be taken from the Cepher Millennium Edition, available at cepher.net.
