The tribulation is going to be completely loveless, hate filled and dangerous all the time. When the Holy Spirit is removed, the restraints on sin will be off.
If you think things are bad now, they are nothing compared to what is coming when God takes out His church.
If non-believers would take a few minutes to ponder prophesy they would realize that it is the Holy Spirit living in Christians that is holding back evil.
I once had a sister in law call a group of people "Bible thumpers" as though they were a big problem. There was a group of Christians who were influencing a small country school to keep something evil out of the school.
I told this sister in law that it is the Christians and the Holy Spirit that was keeping the school safe from ideas that destroy people. Of course I was hated from then on because now I was one of those "Bible thumpers."
I have never "thumped" a Bible, but I want to live by God's principles which are written there. Those who live by the principles of God have a far better life and eternity than those who reject Christ and His Word.
Authentic believers in Christ bring love, the kind of love that lasts for eternity and effects life on earth in a far better way. Those who are bitter and rebellious don't want solutions they just want their own way.
2 Corinthians 4:16-18 "…16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, yet our inner self is being renewed day by day. 17 For our light and temporary affliction is producing for us an eternal glory that far outweighs our troubles. 18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.…"
