Everything around us is in a state of flux.
The second law of thermodynamics tells us that everything evolves toward breakdown, equilibrium and entropy.
This physical fact is not unlike the moral decay or moral entropy we see in our modern society.
I have come to realize that the moral code of a godless society is subject to a moral and spiritual decay or a moral entropy as presented at the end of the Bible:
“Let the evildoer still do evil, and the filthy still be filthy, and the righteous still do right, and the holy still be holy. Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense with me, to repay everyone for what he has done.” Rev 22:11-12
In a couple of months there is an excellent chance that the Supreme Court will repeal the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). This act was passed with overwhelming support in the legislative and executive branches and a repeal will normalize gay marriage and will make state laws against gay marriage unconstitutional.
Approximately 60% of the American public now support the idea of gay marriage, contrary to biblical teaching.
Just like the law of entropy dictates order to disorder, so morality is going from bad to worse in our culture.
“Let the evildoer still do evil, and the filthy still be filthy.”
The unrighteous are in a state of continuous moral breakdown according to this verse, while the righteous are heading in the opposite direction.
There must be a clear separation between them. There is no middle ground because there is only one absolute moral standard: God’s Law.
The spiritual entropy will continue, as it must.
But righteousness will continue as well.
We are in the world but not of the world.
The moral slide must continue on as Christ prepares His bride for His return. We must continue as you say in “righteousness” and not be a part of the world but continue to be His light. It breaks my heart to see so many fooled by Satan and his wicked evil ways. But the Lord can and will open their eyes if they were only to look to Him. Amen and Amen and God bless you.
You are very correct in that the moral slide must continue. It must be like that because the Bible says so.
I believe we are at the end of this age and soon we will be witnessing some amazing events.

The 2nd Law of thermodynamics tells us no such thing. It tells us that an isolated system will evolve to state of maximum entropy, which in statistical terms means a configuration characterised by the maximum possible number of eigenstates. The ‘entropy is disorder’ misconception is bad enough when used in the physical sciences. Employing it in the social sphere is even more disappointing
Sorry for your disappointment. In an isolated system without input of energy, the general principles of equilibrium and uniformity which characterize entropy stand. They are the end result.
On the social front, the analogy is spiritual.
