It seems that everything is bad for you. Even the air that we breath. Give me a break.
It is in the Bible for the end days. “That which they say is good, is bad and that which they say is bad, is good.” There is much more that was told about end days. Matthew 24 is one of many.
Be a witness if someone you know has been effected.
