The book, "The Keys of This Blood" by Malachi Martin is extremely relevant to what has developed in the "Christian" and political arena during the last twenty years and explains why we have the condition described in the book of Amos in the Old Testament prevailing today.
"Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD: And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find [it]." (Amos 8:11,12) These verses relate to the final signs, that there will be a lack of those who truly have a message from God.
"For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, [are called]:" (1 Corinthians 1:26)
