Are the World’s Problems going away in 2026?

To ascertain the truth regarding what we mean by going away, there must be a guarantee connected to the principle(s) in charge.  That in itself may create a synopsis which very few of us can legitimately answer.  But with the current political position on the world scene and a somewhat sketchy picture of the many nations with adverse thoughts, a positive agreement among all the players on board may be difficult to sort out.  

Many people, ministers, Church affiliates, politicians, and those who rule their nations with dictatorial positions, create too many negative perspectives that all would never agree upon.  While bringing the sense of faith aspects into the picture we need to look at prophetic scripture and place the warnings our Lord gave to John with what God has promised.

At that time there shall arise Michael, the great prince, guardian of your people; It shall be a time unsurpassed in distress since nations began until that time.  At that time your people shall escape, everyone who is found written in the book.  (Dn 12: 1).

We need to pause here with an important teaching regarding the Decalogue in the Church’s Tradition.  It is because of the Ten Words given to Moses that all moral teaching takes precedence over what man has and still adheres to that is breaking down every barrier of holiness that is slowly slipping away for us.  The “ten words” are pronounced by God in the midst of a theophany  (“The Lord spoke with you face to face at the mountain, out of the midst of the fire.”).  They belong to God’s revelation of himself and his glory,  The gift of the Commandments is the gift of God himself and his holy will.  In making his will known, God reveals himself to his people.  (CCC 2059).

Ever since St. Augustine, the Ten Commandments have occupied a predominant place in the catechesis of baptismal candidates and the faithful.  In the fifteenth century, the custom arose of expressing the commandments of the Decalogue in rhymed formulae, easy to memorize and in positive form.  They are still in use today.  The catechisms of the Church have often expounded Christian morality by following the order of the Ten Commandments.  (CCC 2065).

Back to Revelation: Then I saw a beast come out of the sea with ten horns and seven heads; on its horns were ten diadems, and on its heads blasphemous names.  The beast I saw was like a leopard, but it had feet like a bear's, and its mouth was like the mouth of a lion.  To it the dragon gave its own power and throne, along with great authority.  I saw that one of its heads seemed to have been mortally wounded, but this mortal wound was healed.  Fascinated, the whole world followed after the beast; they worshipped the dragon because it gave authority to the beast; they also worshiped the beast and said, “Who can compare with the beast or who can fight against it?”  (Rv 13: 1 - 4).

The present condition of our world has become as it is because worship or even belief in Almighty God and his only begotten Son who is Jesus Christ have all but disappeared from humanity’s understanding and the role of anti-Christ is about to make its move upon humanity.  Most may not even see this transition from those that Christ died for and rose to bless them with eternal bliss will only believe when the Beast takes over the entire planet and far too many will succumb to their own misguided tragedy.  This is the day of the Anti-Christ who is Satan’s warrior who will pull far too many into hell with him.

A direct example that has pulled the people of God away from his Love and trust can be found anywhere except in the shadow of the Church.  All believers still have an opportunity to come back to Christ; but the time may be too short for so many!
