Who would’ve seen that coming? The Apostle John said it would be that way. “Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies” (Revelation 18:2-3 KJV). Kind of harsh assessment for those who like previous generations simply seized their opportunity to get ahead? Just because the Millennials are suddenly rich, and saw their wealth double after the pandemic (2019-2023), doesn’t necessarily mean they are that generation John described. True, but it could be. From an American perspective, like a previous generation that weathered the stock market crash of 1929, survived the Great Depression (“Cinderella Man”), and won WW2, Millennials — those born in the USA in the 1980s and 1990s — have labored under the burgeoning burden of US national debt (trillion dollar annual deficits — not just millions or billions). They have gone to work under the lockdowns of COVID, have purchased increasingly more expensive groceries, continue to pay for expensive gas, raise a family, while aspiring to buy an American dream home — available to previous generations, then retire. From a purely political standpoint, Millennials will vote with their pocketbook. Unless they have a rude, spiritual awakening, they will be like those described above by John. LORD, grant us all Your mercy to become alive to You before it is eternally too late. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
