"Mene, mene, tekel, upharsin"
"Mene, mene, tekel, upharsin"
You are quite right. Here is a summary of commentary from a recent sermon at my parish:
The four sins that cry out to God for vengeance:
1. Sodomy (no further commentary required)
2. Murder ( 1M abortions/year in USA)
3. Cheating a worker of his due wages (ever ponder why our clothes & gadgets are so inexpensive - hint: "made in china")
4. Abuse/neglect of widows and orphans (is turning them over to the state really caring for them out of charity?)
under these conditions, what else should we expect from the Lord? As Billy Graham said, if He doesn't punish America, He'll have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah.
the Church in America is about to get a taste of martyrdom. I have little faith in our limp-wristed (Catholic) bishops to withstand it.
