stuff every day, and while there is some truth in some of the conspiracy theories, and we admittedly are under substantially more surveillance and scrutiny, it’s a necessary evil so to speak. It’s a necessary tradeoff in order to keep us all safe. Trust me, there are lots and lots of bad people in this world.”
    “I don’t doubt that my dear boy. I’m just afraid most of them are running our country.”
    “Mom, c’mon, you can’t say stuff like that. Technically, under Bureau and Homeland regs, I should report and investigate a statement like that as a possible domestic terrorism threat.”
    “That’s absolutely ridiculous.”
    “Granted, but it’s also reality. I’ve seen surveillance details issued for nothing more than comments just like that one.”
    “We’ll have to agree to disagree, honey, and leave it at that.”
    “Thanks, because I know I’ll be having this same conversation with Evan and Michelle when they get here.”
    “I just wish you could see what we see.”
    “I know, I know, we’re near the end of the world and all that stuff,” Declan replied with moderate sarcasm.
    “Not the end of the world, but the end of the age and America isn’t mentioned specifically in any of the end times’ prophecies. You’ll see, all of this is happening according to an agenda. Just like the UN small arms treaty we signed and the global carbon tax that was passed, this amendment will pass too. Then, the presidency will eventually become essentially a lifetime appointment, and we’ll be one giant step closer to a dictatorship and, ultimately a single global government. The structure is already in place for a single currency, and with our national debt and the moves other nations are taking to replace the dollar as the reserve currency, that can’t be far off.”
    “What, you mean the IMF currency thing?”
    “Yes, they’ve had this plan in place and ready to replace the dollar for years. All we need is another major crisis, financial or otherwise, which I suspect we’ll see soon, and we’ll see that agenda rolled out.”
    “Right, the global elite plan to control the world.”
    “Don’t mock me, Declan Parker. This will happen. God told us how the story ends and Jesus himself gave us the signs to look for at the end of the age.”
    “Sorry, mom, but seriously, where does the Bible talk about this stuff? Where does it say we’re going to have a one world government?”
    “Revelation 13, and everything we’re seeing now, from this move to allow the President additional terms, to the bigger role of the UN, to the various financial and economic issues the world is still going through, to the problems in the Middle East, to the concerted push for even more gun control; it all falls right into place with what the Bible tells us about the end of the age and the generation leading up to the Tribulation.”
    “Honestly, mom, I pretty much gave up on the Bible when dad died.”
    “I don’t know why your dad had to die when he did, honey, but turning away from God isn’t the answer. We just have to trust God’s plan and our place in it.”
    “I’m sorry, but I don’t see any plan.”
    “You will. I just pray you see it before it’s too late.”

    After leaving his mom’s house, Declan again stopped and sat in his car down the street from David Stanton’s apartment building. He waited for a little over two hours; however, as had been the case that morning, there was no sign of, or movement by, Stanton.
    As he waited, Declan’s thoughts turned back to dinner and to his older brother Evan, who, as expected, had brought the conversation back around to the state of the country and the Bible. Declan had grown used to the topic over the years and could generally let the words pass through one ear and out the other without any trouble. He’d grown up, for the most part, in a strong Christian house and remembered loving God when he was a boy, but after
