Complacency Amid Chaos

The former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, John Bolton, recently said, “The world is descending into chaos.” This statement was the focus of the latest Key of David program. On the Trumpet Daily, we have been closely following these many chaotic crises as they emerge in the world today.

There have been shocking reports of mass executions and beheadings in Iraq and Syria. There’s the Ebola outbreak in western Africa that has gotten so bad that parts of major cities have been quarantined. There is the escalating tension between Russia and Ukraine. There is the racial division right here in America that has some inner cities on edge.

On July 25, Telegraph columnist, Ambrose Evans-Pritchard wrote, “In the 30 years or so that I have been writing about world affairs and the international economy, I have never seen a more dangerous confluence of circumstances, or more remarkable complacency.”

The world has never been more chaotic. Events are happening with such intensity and frequency that certain areas of the world don’t even get their share of attention—the media is struggling to keep up. Despite the rapid escalation of world problems, as Evans-Pritchard noted, there is a “remarkable” amount of “complacency.”

Why don’t you hear more from America’s leaders about the tumultuous state of world affairs? Why aren’t more people outraged over the lack of urgency? The world is descending—and fast. Watch today’s Trumpet Daily episode to learn why these troubling issues don’t alarm more people.
