Can the world continue merrily like this or are we on the brink of the abyss? Let me take 10 key factors that converge in the start of this 21st century and may point to the fact that our merry-go-round may eventually jam up in the next few years.

I would even go further and state that there is nothing we can do about our poor state of affairs and that the aftermath is to be embraced rather than feared. This is not a "doom and gloom" message but a "watch this space" message.

1- Family under attack

• Birth rates so low western civilisation extinct in 20 years
• Divorce so high one child in two raised in broken home

2- Steady increase in natural disasters

• Floods, droughts, fires, earthquakes, tsunamis
• Epidemics HIV, SARS, swine flu

3- Rampant lawlessness

• Powerful organised crime syndicates
• Corporate regulators asleep at the wheel
• Piracy at sea

4- Fear mongering

• Weapons of mass destruction
• Global warming
• Dieting and cancer fads

5- Apostasy in the church

• Doctrinal tangents
• Homosexuals appointed as clergy
• Clergy caught in child abuse

6- Moral decay

• Legal system devoid of Judeo-Christian values
• Litigation as a lifestyle
• Employees replaced by contractors
• Lavishing on pets and ignoring people
• Sport, entertainment and leisure as life pursuits

7- Tampering with life

• Race for the human genome
• Genetically modified crops

8- Lack of leadership

• Minority rules - everyone as they please
• Weakened western democracies
• Scene set for a totalitarian regime coup

9- Nuclear threat

• Iran double minded attitude
• North Korea's brinkmanship
• Pakistan instability

10- Meddling in Middle East affairs

• Western leaders eager to score a peace treaty
• Israel neighbours reject Israel right to exist
• Temple Institute ready to rebuild Solomon's temple

It is pretty obvious by now that we are on a collision course and that several things have gone well past the point of no return.

This is a challenge to be embraced with both arms. A chance to make every day we have left count. It is appointed for each to die once and then give an account of our life.

God tells us in the Bible about a period of time called "the last days". It has an uncanny similarity to the 10 points above. It also mentions it is futile to try to guess the exact time. Rather we are supposed to continue to do good and remain in a state of readiness. Are you ready?
