In Rome, the middle class was starved out of their small farms and homes because they were not able to compete with slave labor. The middle class became the homeless and foodless mobs who swelled the cities looking for handouts from the state. Does this sound like anything that is happening right now? I keep saying, history always repeats itself and will not cease to do so until Jesus puts down all His enemies and sits upon the throne of David ruling over this world.
