I believe madness and insanity was one of the things God promised His Old Testament people if they forsook Him and His law (Dt. 28:28). For New Testament believers, this means forsaking the holy Ghost, which they have done. I think the world is just getting the trickle-down effect… There’s no light for them from God’s people if there is no holy Ghost leading.

I agree, Gary.
Paul could see the bleak future that lay ahead for God’s dear people when they began to reject him and the astonishing gospel Jesus revealed to him (cf. 2Tim. 1:15; 3:1–8). When John foresaw the curse with which God would curse His New Testament people, the religious system of Christianity, he said “I marveled with great wonder” (Rev. 18:6b). And it is an astonishing thing to behold, so astonishing, in fact, that it cannot be believed without help from God.
May God continue to help us!
