4th Turning - this will be big and bloody.

[Asia Joe]

This is my opinion. Others may disagree. 

All of EU is preparing for war.  

Quote

In a letter sent to regional health agencies, revealed by Le Canard Enchaîné , the Ministry of Health asked hospitals to prepare for a “major (military) engagement” by March 2026.

The newspaper warned that between 10,000 and 50,000 men could be expected in hospitals over a period of 10 to 180 days.  https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/france-hospitals-war-europe-letter-russia-ukraine-b2819143.html

Some of the people I follow say this is certain. Because the economies are crumbling and the only way the politicians can hold power is to go to war. 

The same is true in China. The only way the CCP can hold on to power is to go to war. 

The USA weapon systems are far ahead of any other country. Russia and China will fall. 

I expect a large scale war or wars in the Middle East. 

I expect EU to be destroyed like WW2. 

So when we talk about future GC sessions are the future of the church, we need to understand that this whole world is going to be turned upside down. 

How will this effect our church? I don't think any of us know. 

The finances of the church member will change radically. War is ugly. This will be painful. None of us alive today has ever seen such widespread shock and awe. 

I remember my parents talk about World War 2. It was always careful words. It was years of shock. They never really overcame it. 

I don't think anyone can prepare for what is coming.  Maybe that is the best preportion we can make. Knowing that I lives will change beyond our control. 

The good life we have now will be gone. I don't mean to be a doomer, but the future looks horrible. 

I am remembering the things I learned from my parent's experience. The 1930's and 40's were a terrible time for the world.  That was a 4th turning as well.
