I
am not overtly Christian. But then I'm no atheist only.
At
this juncture this biblical prophecy resonates."Time is short. Time to get your spiritual house in order"
Isaiah 24 - Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down
"Behold,
the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it
upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof."
1
Behold,
the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it
upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof.
2And
it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the
servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress;
as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with
the borrower; as with the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury
to him.
4The
earth mourneth and fadeth
away, the world languisheth andfadeth
away, the haughty people of the earth do languish.
5The
earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they
have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the
everlasting covenant.
6Therefore
hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are
desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few
men left.
13When
thus it shall be in the midst of the land among the people, there
shall be as
the shaking of an olive tree, and as
the gleaning grapes when the vintage is done.
14They
shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of the
LORD, they shall cry aloud from the sea.
15Wherefore
glorify ye the LORD in the fires, even the
name of the LORD God of Israel in the isles of the sea.
16From
the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs, evenglory
to the righteous. But I said, My leanness, my leanness, woe unto me!
the treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously; yea, the
treacherous dealers have dealt very treacherously.
18And
it shall come to pass, that he
who fleeth from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he
that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the
snare: for the windows from on high are open, and the foundations of
the earth do shake.
20The
earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed
like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it;
and it shall fall, and not rise again.
21And
it shall come to pass in that day, that the
LORD shall punish the host of the high ones that
are on
high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth.
22And
they shall be gathered together, as prisoners
are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and
after many days shall they be visited.
23Then
the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the LORD of
hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his
ancients gloriously.
