Upon gathering results of the off-year election held Tuesday, November 4, the thought came that the spiritual infection Paul wrote about was on display. In consideration of all the top officials who were elected in the blue states—that is, considering what they stand for and propose—no other conclusion can be reached. We are confronted with a large portion of American citizenry that is being turned over to God’s judgment that Paul termed “the reprobate mind.” (I refer to the voters who manifest this reprobate mindset.)

The radical element within the political party that dominated with victories in New York City, Minneapolis, and the state of Virginia clearly won the day. These purveyors of anti-God policy proposals and implementation defy all reasonable rationale. They display disdain for most all forms of religious governance—other than championing radical Islam—and defy fundamentalist Americanism as given us by our founding fathers.

They embrace chaos and suppression of law enforcement that is established to protect the law-abiding. The mindset they project in loud, rebellious, riotous behavior goes against the domestic tranquility expressed in the Constitution’s Preamble—the Constitution that guaranteed us the republic Benjamin Franklin once said he and the founders had given us…if we could keep it. 

There is a profound question of whether we can keep this great experiment in liberty called America.

My friend Dr. David Reagan, founder of Lamb & Lion Ministries and Christ in Prophecy TV, in recently addressing the satanic assault on our nation, put it this way in framing Paul’s “reprobate mind” (Romans 1:28) as a “depraved mind.”

Currently, we are a nation in full-scale revolt against our Creator, who has been the source of all our national blessings. I am reminded of what Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn said when he was asked what happened to Russia that led to 70 years of Communist dictatorship. His response was short and to the point: “We forgot God.”…

Our nation is facing a cloud of gloom and doom, but there is a silver lining. Jesus said that in the end times, right before His return, the world will become as evil as it was in the days of Noah (Matthew 24:37-39). If you will take a look at the Bible’s description of those days in Genesis 6, you will see that they were characterized by two things: immorality and violence. We have arrived.

The bloody assassination of a devoted follower of Christ, Charlie Kirk, who wanted only a return to godliness for his nation, leaves no doubt that we are indeed in violent times like those foretold by Jesus (Luke 17:26-27).

The just-elected mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani, has stated he is in favor of limiting law enforcement through decriminalizing certain acts of criminality, defunding police, and other methodologies. In this, he is in perfect alignment with the radical segment of his political party. Additionally, he supports that party’s position in abortion and says he will support legalizing prostitution.

It is more than interesting that Mamdani has proclaimed proudly and loudly that he is a Muslim as new mayor of the city where—only a short distance from his making the claim—nineteen radical Islamist terrorists crashed passenger jets into the World Trade Center towers, murdering nearly three thousand people, including thousands of New Yorkers.

He was cheered loudly upon that proclamation and the repeating of a phrase about Marxist socialism by long-ago Marxist-socialist candidate for president of the United States Eugene V. Debs. Debs, a man imprisoned for un-American activities during the Woodrow Wilson administration, ran a number of times while lauding the Marxist line, including running once while imprisoned. When Mamdani brought up his name in his acceptance rant, the crowd exploded in wild cheering, even though probably almost none had even heard Debs’ name before.

The reprobate mindset is in full bloom within the major cities of the United States. To cheer the Marxist ideology, an avowed anti-God man whose evil philosophy and ideology inspired the Russian Revolution and led Lenin (who brought Communism that has murdered many millions of its victims), proves the “depraved” or “reprobate” mind of Romans 1:28 is in full bloom in America today.

The nation is, as Solzhenitsyn said of the Russia from which he escaped, in danger of forgetting God.

In this vein, it is sad but truthful to have to say that the reprobate mindset, the anti-God mindset, is already in place among many of this nation and world. Those left behind following the Rapture will be ripe for Antichrist’s big lie–the great delusion of 2 Thessalonians.

But all of this means, as Dr. Reagan has written, that:

…Jesus is about to break from the heavens. It’s the reason Adrian Rogers used to preach, “The world is growing gloriously dark.” It is also why Jan Markell often says, “The world is not falling to pieces. Rather, the pieces are all falling into place.”

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
