i don't know if you've noticed this before, but my heart just sank
I am watching the 2012 movie, and do you know that bit where the writer and his kids come across a fence, with 'do not trespass' written on it, and the writer and the daughter clamber over it, leaving the son, exasperated on the other side, saying 'DON'T YOU SEE THE SIGNS?'
holy shit. I had the sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach when I heard that
'DON'T YOU SEE THE SIGNS?'

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 73798250 Discerning of Spirits 1 Corinthians 12 NKJ
The word discernment came today.
Every church is called to have the list of gifts and know who has them.
4 There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5 There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord.
That verse tells us there are different ministries and gifts but One Lord.
7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all 8 for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, 10 to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. 11 But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.
None of the gifts should be lacking and are all important. When we do not have discernment we can no longer tell good from evil that is what that gift is for. We are in a culture wanting all to be good and try and find to good in all, but God warned us of this. It happened before the Cross and after.
Isaiah 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
The protest , the hate and the division tells us what season we are in. This is God's planet , we are God's creation , we choose the road to be on, there will be a last harvest on His threshing floor. I only have to call my mom or look at the news to see the season we are in. Lack of faith , wars, hate,deceit , division, false prophets , evil hearts, cancer , earthquakes and weather are some of the signs He left us. Yes many generations have faced this, technology sets us apart from the past. The 25 mile crack in the Antarctic , children and animals being born with cancer make us different from the past. We have done things to our air, water and ground only God can fix.
Jesus called Judas the the son of perdition John 17:12 and 2 Thessalonians 2:3
tells that day will not come till a falling away, which we are seeing even in church and the son of perdition reveled . What made Judas son of perdition ? He loved money so much he betrayed Jesus that is what set him apart . That is why Jesus said love of money is the root of all evil. If Jesus gave us Judas as the example of son of perdition that is who he will look like.
Luke 12:56
Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?
Jesus said this almost 2000 years ago.
Are we in a last harvest time and do not know the signs because we are lacking in the gifts? Who in your circle has God given for discerning? Where is God's Apostles and Prophets ? They can not look like or be part of this world.
