Assyrian Tablet Quote

“The Earth is degenerating today. Bribery and corruption abound. Children no longer obey their parents, every man wants to write a book, and it is evident that the end of the world is fast approaching.”

What goes around, comes around. What was seemingly an accurate observation by the Assyrian Tablet author, Socrates or whom ever, concerning the perception of their world; now becomes more accurate as the global degeneration has become more deadly with the science of our day. The nature of man, for good and for evil, continues unchanged through out the ages.

Like democracies, they never last very long, before reduced to tyranny and despotism. all of the world eating from a few hands under the disguise of democracy. Food, water, clothing and shelter, medication.

Liberty and Freedom ( God's rest ) denied the people. Liberty from oppression. The thorn in the side of Fabian socialism. Being judged by the law of liberty. There is a time appointed ! As there is a diminishing of one, first, then the increase of the other." Except there come a falling away first." Just as in the past, an appearing, so also to come. Visitation.
