Signs of the Times

Matthew 16:2-3 - And Jesus answered and said to them, "When it is evening you say, "It will be fair," for the sky is red. And when it is morning you say, "It will be stormy," for the sky is red and threatening. You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky but you cannot interpret the signs of the times?

Our knowledge is indeed usually limited to what we can see and have experienced in the past. Or, at least, other have experienced. We fail to read the signs of the times because our knowledge of the world and how people are and our knowledge of God are lacking. Especially, I think in the age of the internet, Fox News and their lies, and the greed of racism, sexism and heterosexism prevalent in America today.

How do we read the rise of Trump? How do we respond? Where can we act that will make a difference.
