‘Criminals Will Run Wild’: Illinois Becomes First State to Abolish Cash Bail as Fears Mount

On September 18, 2023, the Breitbart News reported that “Illinois eliminated cash bail on Monday, making it the first state in the nation to do so in a decision that brought heavy criticism… In July, the Illinois Supreme Court issued the decisio allowing the end of cash bail to take effect monday… The outlet noted the move came despite a crime wave plaguing citizens in the area, along with concern that those accused of criminal activity will commit more crimes while they await trial. The law in question passed in 2022, and Gov. J.B. Prtizker (D) signed it. According to the article, it ‘will free from jail thousands of suspects accused of second-degree murder, kidnapping, burglary, robbery, and other violent crimes.”

The Bible and the Spirit of Prophecy prophesied that the conditions of the city life will be full of crimes and violence and will increase till the end of time. So that there is now a need to “get out of the cities!”

Ezekiel 7:23 “Make a chain: for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence.”

“Light has been given me that the cities will be filled with confusion, violence, and crime, and that these things will increase till the end of this earth’s history.” Testimonies, volume 7, p. 84 (1902)

“There is coming rapidly and surely an almost universal guilt upon the inhabitants of the cities because of the steady increase of determined wickedness. We are living in the midst of an “epidemic of crime” at which thoughtful, God-fearing men everywhere stand aghast. The corruption that prevails is beyond the power of the human pen to describe. Every day brings fresh revelations of political strife, bribery, and fraud; every day brings its heartsickening record of violence and lawlessness, of indifference to human suffering; of brutal, fiendish destruction of human life. Every day testifies to the increase of insanity, murder, and suicide. The cities of today are fast becoming like Sodom and Gomorrah. Holidays are numerous; the whirl of excitement and pleasure attracts thousands from the sober duties of life. The exciting sports—theatergoing, horse racing, gambling, liquor drinking and reveling—stimulate every passion to activity.” Testimonies, volume 9, p. 89 (1909)

Out of the cities” is my message… The time is near when the large cities will be visited by the judgments of God. In a little while these cities will be terribly shaken. No matter how large or how strong their buildings, no matter how many safeguards against fire may have been provided, let God touch these buildings, and in a few minutes or a few hours they are in ruins. The ungodly cities of our world are to be swept away by the besom of destruction. In the calamities that are now befalling immense buildings and large portions of cities God is showing us what will come upon the whole earth.” Testimonies, volume 7, p. 82-83 (1902)
