Matthew 24:3-14 (New King James Version)
3 Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?” 4 And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you.
5 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.
6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
9 “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake.
10 And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another.
11 Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many.
12 And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.
13 But he who endures to the end shall be saved.
14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.

It's a delicate balance, to live in society and yet to keep oneself apart from the world. Where does one draw the line between His-Will-Be-Done, and We-Have-To-Stop-This-In-His-Name? To what end do Christian organizations lobby against homosexuality?
Granted, biblical evidence do point towards homosexuality being a sin. Many other forms of sexual immorality, however, also are sins. I don't think God's too pleased with what happens in a club. He probably isn't too thrilled by the thriving enterprises along the seedier alleys of Singapore's favorite supper street. Prostitution's legalized. Perhaps there was a rally against it before its legalization, perhaps not.
Everything that happens, happens because God allows them to happen. Perhaps it's all just leading up to the end days. Maybe it's in His plan for some of His more fervent followers to take up arms and do it in such a contemptible fashion that even more hatred is incited against Christians, such that it would finally come to pass that all Christians are persecuted regardless of the cities or state that we live in.
Then we can all take to the mountains like a certain bearded fellow. That reminds me though; I'm sure some of you caught footage of the "Singaporean Terrorist" speaking Singlish. Kinda, funny, no?
