I don't want to beat them up or support them, but instead find a way to see a positive in their negative while I forgive them their trespasses. They know not what they do. "Pray for their blessing and correction and let it go" is what I trying to teach myself to do.
The environmental pollution we are both speaking of, while observing history and the events of the day from that certain point of view I was referring to, is not something the EPA deals with.
We are to be good stewards of the Earth and the rest of creation, but that won't be the reason for His ultimate cleansing. That will have little to do with water or quality, population, etc., though those things can be a symptom of the reason.
In other words, the similarity stops at environment and what you mean by "environment" and the nature of the pollution.
Yes, the environment is polluted, and we did the polluting, but without the eyes to see it, the EPA and the rest are oblivious to why the place got flooded in Noah's day or why our story ends with a different cleansing.
Only a few pages left. Be ready to greet the One who will come like a thief in the night.
"Pray for their blessing and correction and mine, then let it go" is what I trying to teach myself to do.

Like with my posts! My apologies. Still waiting for the coffee to hit me after a long night and little sleep.
