Nothing left of this but ruins!
Once upon a time, millions of people lived in a multitude of cities in the Indus River Valley. We do not know the name of a single one of them. By 1300 B.C., the whole civilization there went belly-up after a highly successful run of some 2,000 years. Nothing left but very impressive, nameless ruins.
I can’t read or write up any more nooze today! I’ve had it. Got to rest!
Savants like to say the Indus Valley Civilization went bye-bye because of Climbit Change. But that can’t be right, because we have no evidence that these people had SUVs or air conditioning. We do not know what happened to it.
Is our civilization going to wind up like this? Our leaders seem to be doing everything in their power to make it so. Hey, let’s wipe out our nation’s borders! Let’s indoctrinate our children into “transgender”! And let criminals loose without bail! And teach them that there is no God but that’s okay because there’s always government!
O Lord our God! We need a course correction! Bring us to our senses, Lord–in Jesus’ name, amen.
Psalm 80 – “God of Hosts, turn us back! Illumine your face and we will be saved.”
I have a funny feeling that many of these civilizations that just up and disappeared, were probably practicing human sacrifice. The Hittites are a perfect example, and God had no problem with expelling them from the land. I’d probably wager my next paycheck that some of the Central American civilizations which disappeared so completely were likely sacrificing human lives to false gods. While false gods want people to sacrifice their children to them, the True God allowed His Son to be sacrificed for our sake.
All the Central and South American civilizations practiced human sacrifice.
Yep, and those civilizations are all gone.
There was once, just a few hundred years ago a thriving civilization of millions, with huge cities, buildings, roads, bridges, and cultivation of crops, smack in the middle of the Amazon rainforest. It’s not always been a “pristine” jungle.
I’ve been looking for more information about that. The archaeology is very suggestive.
Maybe it’s time to do a lot of research into the move of God, in people’s lives happening now all around the earth. News that is never covered by most news media. There are great heroes in God’s Kingdom, doing great things today in our midst we need to know about. There is great push-back against evil in China and throughout much of the earth…maybe, just maybe it’s time we read about it…
Among others, here are two links I found dealing with this that I based my comments on. I hope they work.

Falling asleep at the table here, so I’ll have to look these over later. Thank you, Mike.
