30 Days of Birth Pangs - Day 2 Perplexity of Nations

The Perplexities of Nations (Luke 21:25) - has there ever been a time when the nations of the Earth seem so disjointed and irrational?  Decisions being made in government and big business defy logical explanation.  For the biggest issues of the day, they can not even define them, let alone address them.

Perplexity is defined by Merriman Webster as: the state of being very confused because something is difficult to understand.  The archaic meaning is to be in an entangled state.

In the Scripture above, the Greek word Aporia is used exclusively in this verse and comes from the root Aporeo which means: to be without resources, to be in straits, to be left wanting, to be embarrassed, to be in doubt, not to know which way to turn to be at a loss with one's self, be in doubt not to know how to decide or what to do, to be perplexed.

Through the definitions above, we have just described the state of governance.  For example, look at this abominable "Iran Nuclear Deal".  Lifting sanctions, giving billions of dollars, and enabling the world's largest state sponsor of terror to be free to develop nuclear weapons is a good idea in what reality?  Yet the nations of world seem to think it is a great deal.  They have been given over to a reprobate and perplexed mind.

Target is Perplexed

A time will come soon that the Nations of the World will be so overcome with confusion they will cede their sovereignty, their weapons, and their nationhood to the coming world leader.  This dynamic leader will cut through the confusion, he will lure them with false promises - they will say, "Peace and Security" and gladly surrender.
