Sheol beneath is stirred up to meet you when you come; it rouses the shades to greet you, all who were leaders of the earth; it raises from their thrones all who were kings of the nations. All of them will answer and say to you: ‘You too have become as weak as we! You have become like us!’ Your pomp is brought down to Sheol, the sound of your harps; maggots are laid as a bed beneath you, and worms are your covers. - Isaiah 14:9-11 ESV
Sin sells while bells ring
Like dinner time in Hell…
The taste of forbidden fruit over time becomes telling
Rebellion against conventional wisdom
Led to decisions based on indifference
And humanity is left searching for its significance
Life now is nothing more than forensic
As gender is now gone into oblivion
And a mother’s womb
Has become a tomb for a countless number of infants
Between assisted suicide, ethnic cleansing genocide
Peace through superior firepower
And religion cloaked in deceit
Hiding behind a military façade
Wars and rumors of wars
As we beef about same sex, safe sex
“Who’s to blame for a tanking economy?”
Or “Who should America attack next?”
We take one step back
When it comes to human trafficking
Global warming burning us up like a sauna
Our souls have grown cold as we ready our beds
God truly must be gracious
Because for reasons unbeknownst to us
He didn’t just destroy all in a flood
And He hasn’t left us for dead…
For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to chains of gloomy darkness to be kept until the judgment; if he did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a herald of righteousness, with seven others, when he brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly; if by turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to ashes he condemned them to extinction, making them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly; and if he rescued righteous Lot, greatly distressed by the sensual conduct of the wicked (for as that righteous man lived among them day after day, he was tormenting his righteous soul over their lawless deeds that he saw and heard); then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment until the day of judgment, and especially those who indulge in the lust of defiling passion and despise authority. - 2 Peter 2:4-10 ESV Soli Deo Gloria, Shon
