Europe is more divided than ever. What does that mean for our reading of biblical prophecy?

I thought to myself: Is there an alarm or is it an end of day signal?

Some expectations dissolve into routine or turn into despair, while others invigorate life. The former are measured in deeds and desires, while the latter are measured in faithfulness and beliefs.

When I read “The Pitesti Phenomenon”, in my teens, I was bewildered by how cruel human nature can be.
