Psalm 83:2 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
Note how the Bible is applicable in all ages, the past, the present and the future!
The same types of evil people have been present in all societies in all ages but due to the prevailing moral climate in most socities in most of the ages, they have kept their heads down, fearing to bring too much attention upon themselves.
Now we have come to the endtimes, and the prevailng climate favours the God haters in most Western nations, just as the Bible described it aforetime.
