How can he prophesy something like this when we have churches on every corner? The reality is that they do not know
God. They know about God. They believe in the existence of a god, but
they are not really acquainted with God. They do not really love God or
fear Him because, if they did, the sins we see occurring so rampantly in
our society would not be happening. If they truly feared Him, they
would have enough respect to restrain themselves, regardless of what
anybody else did.
And that is the solution to the problem! Each individual must restrain himself regardless of whether he sits on the throne, is in Parliament or Congress, is on the Supreme Court, is a doctor or nurse, a policeman, athlete, entertainer, or whatever. Everyone's responsibility is to restrain himself. It is not the responsibility of the police but of the individual. We will never live in a society without violence, corruption, thievery, rape, without illegitimacy until individuals take it upon themselves to restrain themselves and live within the limits of the law of God because they fear God.
The problem is right here—the problem is with me and you, the individual. The problem is not Joseph Stalin or Adolf Hitler. People have to begin to look to themselves for the solution. As the song says, "Let it begin with me," and then it will begin to stop.
