They eat from a rotten table, covered with fine gold.  The plates are made of pressed garbage, yet covered with shining porcelain.  Every meal is fit for a king.  And with great joy they eat their fill with laughter and love for each one at the table.  They invite others to join them.  And each one is praised for the work they have done during the day.  “We are wonderful!”  This is the constant melody spoken, whispered, sung, and written.  “Great are the people of the world!  For we have set ourselves to do what is good.  We are to receive praise, for we do not allow intolerance, hatred, or bigotry.  We recognize that each one of us dabbles in pleasures of differing kind.  And we support this within our brothers and sisters.  We will teach the children that freedom to do as you please is above every law.  All we ask of each other is that we tolerate the others around us with a great and praise worthy patience.”

Eat, celebrate, find every pleasure pleasurable to your heart.  Your day of pride will not last much longer.  Then you will find the One who made you greeting you face to face.  Then you will find out that He has set a day to judge your indulgent nature.  You did not think it right to seek out His ways.  And you considered the life in this body to be the end of all things.  You will be surprised to note that you were expected to seek His ways.  You will realize that this place was prepared for Jesus.  And you will come to understand that this was a place where men’s hearts were to be tested.  Failing the test, you will cry great tears.  Some of you will be horribly angry, yet unable to vent your wrath.

Awake!  Consider what is written here.  This is just one man of God speaking what is true.  Perhaps you hate my words.  What will you think when they come from the lips of the Most High God, and are spoken directly to YOU.  What then, my fellow men?  What then?
