I’m right behind you at 28. Actually I’ve been sober since I got up this morning.

Jesus spoke of the Laodicean Church in the latter days...

This is the Church that has emerged...Neither hot nor cold..
Lukewarm and worthless....

No more Holy Spirit driven churches..No more preachers like David Wilkerson or Paul Harvey, no more lives transformed in Jesus Christ...

Why did God single out Nineveh by warning it in this manner while leaving other wicked cities unwarned?

Nineveh had been founded by a son of the righteous patriarch Shem. Thus Nineveh represents those that once served God but have departed from Him.

In the Bible only a handful of places are referred to as “that great city”. Apart from Nineveh it is used once in the case of Jerusalem (Jer 22:8), once to describe the New Jerusalem (Rev 21:2) but mostly in reference to Mystery Babylon (Rev 18:21). While the New Jerusalem is the true bride of the Lamb all the others started out as pure women but, having fornicated and corrupted themselves, they became the enemies of God.
