It had been suggested awhile ago that I may be the Harbinger of Evernight, whispering the many ways in which mankind will bring about its own apocalypse.
Abraham talked God all the way down to just 10 righteous people in Sodom before deciding it was not worth saving. God did not find 10, but only Lot, whom Peter assures us was a righteous man.
Today, we still have 10 in America, 10 in most cities, with their righteousness coming from God Himself rather than their own virtue. But it is becoming less and less sure that the world will tolerate even 10.
The rapture may not be God taking His own out of the world, but the world sending them away. When the world finally gets its wish and there are no longer 10 who have accepted the righteousness they did not earn, it may be sorry it got its wish.
Very sorry, indeed.
If the ivy or the kudzu didn’t suggest it, I wouldn’t worry about it. Gotta go feed Horsey-lou. SYL.
