"The closer the collapse of an Empire, the crazier its laws" ― Marcus Tullius Cicero

What are some of the signs to watch out for, to know that the rule of a long-reigning political party is fast coming to an end?

Revelation 12:12 "Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time."

Supposed the ruling political party knows that they hath but a short time to continue their reign in a country, what do you think is on their mind? What do you think they will do? When the Devil knows he hath but a short time, the Bible tells us in this verse "Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath."

The keywords to note here are "having great wrath." This tells us what's on the mind of a long-reigning political party when they sensed that their reign is fast coming to an end. It is "great wrath." If wrath is the thought guiding their actions, what do you think they will do in order to prolong their grips over a nation? The Bible tells us in:

Daniel 4:27 "Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee, and break off thy sins by righteousness, and thine iniquities by shewing mercy to the poor; if it may be a lengthening of thy tranquillity."

God's way is to "break off thy sins by righteousness, and thine iniquities by shewing mercy to the poor." The Devil's way will be the exact opposite of God's way. There will be woes upon the inhabiters of the nation. Instead of righteousness, there will be more wickedness. Instead of shewing of mercy to the poor, there will be greater oppression, just like how the Egyptians afflicted the children of Israel during the time of Moses, as in:

Exodus 1:11-14 "Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom and Raamses… 14 And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage, in morter, and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field: all their service, wherein they made them serve, was with rigour."

That's why the Bible tells us in Revelation 12:12 "Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time." The Devil's wrath is against the inhabiters of the earth and the sea. Likewise, the long-reigning political party losing their grips over a nation will also be wrath with the people, and the way they show their wrath would be to afflict the people with heavy burdens and make their lives bitter with hard bondage. Is this what the leaders in your country are doing?
