THE EARTH WAS ' FILLED WITH VIOLENCE
THE EARTH WAS ' FILLED WITH VIOLENCE ' !!!
As if , to underline the lesson of Noah . . . The ' very same day ' we post our ' Noah ' article , reports of yet another mass shooting in the endless cycle of gun violence in the United States. This time , 4 dead & 16 injured as a gunman goes on a murderous rampage. The shooting took place at Fort Hood Military base , the ' very same site ' of a similar massacre in 2009 when 13 people were gunned down. Surely , we can see the unmistakable parallel with Noah's day , when mankind's ways were so corrupt , their minds were continually focused on evil & violence toward their fellow man. Today , violence pervades every society & corner of the globe , whether sectarian violence in the Middle East , genocides in Africa , oppression & brutality in North Korea or mass-shootings & urban violence in " civilised " Western nations . . . violence , brutality & corruption are rampant. It is ' a warning ' of the nearness of the coming of ' THE DAY ' of the LORD & judgment on all mankind.
Ezek 7v10-12 - Behold THE DAY , behold , it is come : the morning is gone forth . . . Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness : none of them shall remain , nor of their multitude , nor of any of theirs : neither shall there be wailing for them. The time is come , THE DAY draweth near : let not the buyer rejoice , nor the seller mourn : for wrath is upon all the multitude thereof.
