Is Heaven Coming to the Earth?

Many Christians are looking hopefully for a rapture to come soon and lift them out of trouble and up into the Presence of God. Who could blame them, given the fact that in America and other countries, the popular values seem increasingly against our Christian values.
One sign of the anti-Christian values are the attempts to force secular curricula on home-schooling families, such as the attempt to promote homosexual behavior as normal if not preferable. This alone would encourage me to want to leave the world and to Heaven.
Also, the attempts of the media to stereotype people. I would not be too surprised if the efforts of the media to sensationalize (in order to sell papers and promote their own ideals) any confrontation between African-Americans and white people, actually causes a civil war in America!
The media clearly are biased again the Christian religion. From my point of view, the scorn directed at the "birthers" is a clear example of the bias of the newspapers. Those who are investigating the legal status of the President are doing more than raving and ranting. They have some proofs that would be investigated by the courts if the newspapers would give these proofs the weight they deserve.
But I notice these days that when people run out of ammunition they pick up the weapon of scorn—as though scorn proved anything. It seems to me that even some leaders of our government resort to scorn. They apparently have no other defense. There are issues that need to be dealt with at the governmental level; but it appears there is so much weight in favor of the lawbreakers that even the courts appear timid and indecisive.
