And I don't see the turning away from God anywhere. There's more churches here in Kentucky than there are gas stations and restaurants combined. And look at all the mega-churches.
Where's the turning away?
Fear not. Cahn is pulling our leg. But he's serious about merchandising and donations.

According to Jesus' seven letters to the churches in Revelation 2 and 3, it seems like God is concerned more with quality than quantity. I think the majority of churches in America can be likened to Laodicea, which is not a good thing.
Paul's description of what the last days are like is not too far removed from the type of folks you'd find in America's churches nowadays:
2 Timothy 3:1-5
But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!
Yet I think if judgment comes during our lives it would be a good thing, if it's the wakeup call we need to repent. Better to repent while we are alive than after we die when it's too late.
