It is nearly impossible to find words to adequately express the wickedness that is now being unleashed in the world. The only thing that comes to my mind, which even begins to convey a sense of the demonic nature of so many current events, is what the Bible describes in the book of the
Revelation, as the 'opening of the bottomless pit'. In truth, the bottomless pit has not yet been 'opened'--at least, not
yet in the manner in which it shall very soon be opened so as to allow sky-darkening hordes of demons to fill the earth for many months, as scorpion-like, flying creatures (Revelation 9:1-11). Still, the womb of Hell itself seems to be rapidly dilating, in the process of birthing the so-called
Tribulation: an epoch of several years' duration which, Christ said, would be a time of
"great tribulation [trouble]
, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be" (Matthew 24:21).
