The Red Horse Prepares To Ride
I was hoping to continue the series that I started last week, and talk about the image of Daniel 2. That vision is still active today, and it deserves some serious thought and reflection. But, when someone comes along that points to a direct threat to your future safety, I have to put plans on hold and explain something that you may or may not know.
As oil production declines, so will our civilization. And unfortunately, civilization declines far more rapidly than it rises. We actually have a name for that, Seneca's Cliff. But, there's a bit of back story to go through first.
On Friday, I received news that I was hoping not to hear. At least, not for this year or any number of years after that. This news will take peace from the Earth, and that phrase should be familiar to you since that is the job of: The Red Horse And, the news that I was so reluctant to hear?

How good it was to be young, vigorous and part of a system that seemed to be unstoppable. I knew that the foundations were utterly corrupt, but everything was just so BIG. So enormous, that collapse just didn’t seem possible. And, absolutely no one ever uttered that word. Collapse. You just didn’t talk about stuff like that. America was the neverending empire of the sun. Nothing could stop what we were. What we would be. We had big dreams and even bigger opportunities. We told ourselves that there were no limits to our future, if we could only dream big enough. We were the America of Norman Rockwell and Neil Armstrong. We had American values and American ideals.
