It is shown that there is still more to come and that this is not enough to make the people on the earth realize they have strayed from obeying God. The people at this time will have endured amazing hardship, but they will still not repent.
(Rev 9:20-21) But the rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and idols of gold, silver, brass, stone, and wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk. {21} And they did not repent of their murders or their sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts.
To better understand this frame of mind, one must merely look around at the current world situation. For example, even though the vast majority of the Aids related deaths and inflictions have been the result of immoral homosexual behavior, few have repented. As a matter of fact, the homosexual community has hardened their hearts so much as to get even louder and more adamant in their demands to promote their iniquitous way of life drawing in many who would never have considered such a lifestyle acceptable! This defiance of the truth will be seen more and more as we get closer to the tribulation period in all different types of behavior and lifestyles that deviate from the will of God.
Among other things, Revelation mentions sorceries (verse 21). Who would have thought that in our modern world, this prophecy would be right on. Have you read your horoscope lately? How about watched the Psychic Friends Network? Have you noticed how pretty the crystal is that hangs from your rear view mirror? It too is part of the New Age movement and its use of sorceries. Anything that is not of the one true God through Jesus Christ is of the devil, Satan.
