I’m not going to claim the following from the Book of Isaiah, Chapter 28 is prophetic for our time but it certainly just struck me strongly. Whether it resonates with truth or feeling and desire, who knows.
Therefore hear the word of the Lord, you scoffers, who rule this people in Jerusalem.
Because you have said, ‘We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves;
Therefore thus says the Lord God …
I will make justice the line and righteousness the plummet;
hail will sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters will overwhelm the hiding place.
Then your covenant with death will be annulled, and your agreement with hell will not stand;
when the overwhelming scourge passes through, you will be beaten down by it.
From the time it goes forth it will take you …
and it will be sheer terror to understand its message.
