Eve of Destruction?
Baby boomers in particular remember the Barry McGuire tune “Eve of Destruction” which became a theme song of the 1960s and early ’70s. It referenced the anti-Vietnam war demonstrations, the hippie movement against faith-based morality, and the danger of nuclear weapons.
The world wasn’t destroyed two generations ago, but Western civilization arguably began its descent into moral and social disintegration.
Destructive forces have been unleashed this week at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago mirroring the mayhem of 1968. There’s upheaval in the streets and very seductive messaging inside the United Center.
Is the Democratic Party trying to bring back an eve of destruction?
Eve of Deception
“Eve of Destruction” was a popular Barry McGuire protest ballad back in the 1960s (written by P.F. Sloan in 1965). It spoke of a world coming apart by the forces of evil during the peak of the Vietnam War.
McGuire eventually met Jesus as his Lord and Savior and changed his tune from being a harbinger of death to a prophet of life. He has done concerts for our Youth With A Mission constituency on a number of occasions.
Destruction is usually the end result of deception that we now face on a massive scale in the 21st century.
Are we currently experiencing an Eve of Deception?
