Humans are predictable to a certain extent. Periods of prosperity and destruction have been cyclical throughout history.
Periods of prosperity and peace;
Desires for power, greed, and lust infiltrate;
Anger, violence and war;
Death and destruction;
Some people become humble;
Civilizations either rise again or are completely destroyed
It happens again and again. We can make it through turbulent and tumultuous times remaining strong in our conviction to Jesus Christ and our desire to follow Him.
