What is going on is that the numbers of humans on this planet who have turned their backs on God...that includes those who claim to honor God but give Him very little attention and surely do NOT pursue their growth in holiness...that group is growing. The result is that the protection God is being withdrawn in order to wake us up.
Oh for the love of Christ. You got a problem with the Heavens? Shout at the Heavens. You want to do something beside fart in the wind, join reality.
