Revelation 9:20-21 "The rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, so as not to worship demons, and the idols of gold and of silver and of brass and of stone and of wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk; and they did not repent of their murders nor of their sorceries nor of their immorality nor of their thefts."
Editor’s Note: The Bible portrays a picture of a rebellious last days people that would not repent of their sins, including the sin of sorcery. Pharmakeia is the Greek word translated “sorceries, sorcery, or magic spells” which in today’s society all involve the use of illegal mind-altering drugs. As the use of these drugs increase, the abject evil associated with them increases as well. Just as the signs of the times in Matthew 24 are increasing in frequency and intensity, so is the outflow of effects from a 21st century drug-crazed society.
A new research study from Columbia University shows that fatal car accidents involving marijuana have tripled in the last ten years.
One of the co-authors of the study, Dr. Guohua Li, said that currently one in nine drivers involved in fatal crashes would test positive for marijuana.
“If this trend continues, in five or six years non-alcohol drugs will overtake alcohol to become the most common substance involved in deaths related to impaired driving,” Dr. Li said.
The study comes on the heels of states such as Colorado legalizing marijuana for use by the public. Alcohol related traffic fatalities held steady at 40 percent throughout the decade but drug related deaths climbed from 16 percent in 1999 to 28 percent in 2010. The scientists fear more legalization could continue to drive up the rate of drug related crashes.
“If a driver is under the influence of alcohol, their risk of a fatal crash is 13 times higher than the risk of the driver who is not under the influence of alcohol,” Li told Breitbart. “But if the driver is under the influence of both alcohol and marijuana, their risk increases to 24 times that of a sober person.”
Yeah, David Wilkerson prophesied that pot would be legalized, stating that we legalize what we can’t handle.
