Luke 18:8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? The last part of this verse seems like an afterthought although many will disagree. Jesus was using the unjust Judge as a teaching point, and he spoke of avenge his very elects. Then he seems to wonder aloud if he would find faith on earth upon his return. There is a teaching point in this verse, but it does not fit the narrative of the modern day church, the same as Jesus condemnation of the church in the book of Revelation. When Christ comes in his final judgment, there is a sense here that there will be few Christians on the earth, and that the wickedness will overrun the world. This may be true, but it is not taught in our glorious sanctuaries because it fails to support the emerging agenda. The faith of today has become polluted and is alien in nature compared to the faith Jesus taught his disciples.
The word faith denotes the whole of religion, and it has been understood in this sense here. The truth lies in whether there is a close connection in what Christ says in this verse, and what he said before. The truth that he had been teaching before making this comment was that God would deliver his people from their calamities and save them, though he suffered them to be tried. It seems as if he was aware, without the indwelling of the Holy Spirit the suffering his followers would endure would be enough to turn many away from the faith. The question he posed was when he came back to this earth would he find the faith, or a belief of this truth, among his followers? Would they be found persevering in prayer and believing that God would yet avenge them in the world to come; or would they cease to pray always, and faint?
The concept of marriage is dying, and abortion is at an all-time high. The messengers of God have become proficient at raising money, and the community in which they exist are suffering. Following after the money many churches in the Western world has allowed themselves to become pawns of the government. The edict of the Holy Scripture is cast side as they scramble to adapt and promote the failing agenda of the government, ruling body or pastor. The Word of God no longer influences simple things such as marriage and the sexuality of humanity. The Holy Spirit is downgraded, whereas it once was our guide now only shows up and make us want to dance. Salvation is a work in process; sin is justifiable, and the size of our offering determine our faith. The world condition of today seems to indicate that Jesus was aware of the deteriorating state of society.

A shooting occurred in a bar in Orlando Florida, At least 50 people were killed in what police are investigating as an act of terrorism. There were numerous reports of the patrons praying that they make it out safely. The headlines proclaimed the shooting at a gay bar was the worst case of domestic gun violence in the history of the United States. Another headline that caught the attention of many was "Canada Legalizes Sex with Animals". Canada's Supreme Court has declared that most sex acts between people and animals are legal, as long as no penetration is involved, Slammed by animal rights groups it is label as a controversial bestiality ruling. What an evil wicked generation full of the devil and on the road to hell was the respond of one writer.
Schools are threatened with the loss of federal fund by the president and the justice department if they do not adhere to the transgender agenda. A private issue of who can use what bathroom has become a hot political issue. At least 13 states have filed a notice of taking legal action to stop the erosion of common sense. The International Olympic Committee will now allow transgender men to compete as women without reassignment surgery. This ruling is great news for adventurous male Olympic hopefuls: if they declare themselves women and reduce their testosterone below ten nmol/L for at least 12 months before the competition, they can compete against women.
In Chicago, 64 people were shot during the Memorial Day weekend, From Friday evening to the end of Monday, 64 people was shot in this city of 2.7 million, six of them fatally. In a population made up of nearly equal numbers of whites, blacks, and Hispanics, 52 of the shooting victims are black, 11 Hispanic and one white. Eight are women, the rest men. Some 12 people were shot in their cars, 11 along city sidewalks, and at least four on home porches. The prevalence of evil is what the world is experiencing in its culture. A society with no moral compass "cannot survive." The churches are failing to educate society about morality and moral issues, they have become caught up in the world of entertainment and are govern by the rules of such. The gates to the sheepfold seem to be no longer guarded and the wolves have entered in the form of "pimp style" preachers proclaiming a motivation Gospel that is contrary to the Word of God.
A man is charged in seven sexual assault cases in Houston; he also is the prime suspect in eight others since 2012, investigators said Monday. He is accused of using either a knife or a gun to force women into his car and then taking them to secluded areas and sexually assaulting them, said a Houston, police officer. For nearly 2 thousand years the church has been working to transform the mentality of humanity.
For nearly 2 thousand years the Devil has been working to change the mindset of the church. The Devil has always sought to mimic God; he operates under the rule of opposites. The same as God has a throne, the Devil has also established his throne. There is the faith (religion) that is sanction by God, and there is the faith (religion) that is sanction by the Devil. The battle between good and evil manifested itself between Cain and Abel and proved its resilience in the battle between Esau and Jacob, a battle that will continue until the end of time.
Revelation 2:13-14 I know your works and where you dwell, even where Satan's throne is: and you hold fast my name, and have not denied my faith, even in those days when Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwells. But I have a few things against you because you have there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, (the prophet for profit) who taught Balak to cast a stumbling-block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.
