The old system is in trouble

As I mentioned in a earlier blog, I’m using Kelly Monroe Kullberg’s book Faith and Culture devotional for morning meditations. This paragraph sort of jumped right out at me.

"In 1572 a new star appeared in the skies over Europe that remained visible for a year and a half, even in the daytime, hovering above the moon. Because the Greek system viewed the heavens as changeless, some of the learned professors refused to acknowledge the new star, calling it an optical illusion. But for everyone else it was clear evidence the old system was in trouble." Charles Thaxton, "Modern science, a child of Christianity" in Faith and Culture Devotional. (Zondervan, 2008)

This paragraph in today's readings reminded me of current events on the political, cultural, economic and international scene. Clear evidence that the old system was in trouble.
