Will repentance happen? I'm doubtful, but no one knows the mind of the Lord.
The penalty for sin has already been paid, so repentance is not “making up for your sin” which is what most people think it is.
Instead it is accepting into one’s life the very singular offer of Christ to bear one’s sins and transform one’s life into total righteousness.
And on THAT, the worldly odds-makers are struck dumb.
I, too, am doubtful but two things give me hope. First, the American people are basically decent and we will someday see a rebirth of that decency. Secondly, Matt 19:26: but with God all things are possible..
