I highly recommend the movie “The Coming Convergence,” featuring Pastor Jack Hibbs and Pastor Tom Hughes, for those interested in Christian eschatology.

Most, if not all, of us are incentive-driven. This is one of the reasons why capitalism is one of the best economic systems out there and provides a higher standard of living for society as a whole, especially compared to systems like socialism.

God predestined us based on His perfect foreknowledge and sovereignty, knowing what we would do depending on whether we would choose to accept or reject Him using our own God-given free will. If God predestined some people for Heaven and others for Hell before they were even born, He would be showing favoritism, even though He can technically do whatever He wants within the bounds of His divine nature (e.g., He cannot lie or deny Himself).

But do they really realize how quickly things could become drastically worse?
