In 1970 or so a fundamentalist Christian Hal Lindsey wrote a book entitled, "The Late Great Planet Earth." Which equated modern events to the Book Of Revelations in the bible. If one wants to think about it his observations were harbingers of what has come to pass in America. So the question becomes what was Lindsey seeing that caused him to make the correlation?
Simply one thinks that Lindsey was seeing the same kind/tenure of things happen in 1970 America that John saw in the Roman Empire in the 1ST Century AD. You have to skim off the religious connotations to see the similarities in underlying dynamic (emotional) of each of those times. Both were times of increasing instability and loss of ethical and moral virtues.
