They capitulated with the enemy.  For the sake of warm flesh they spurned  the living God.  For the sake of 30 pieces of silver they closed their ears and eyes.  If they knew of God they closed their mouth lest what they had should be taken away.

What is warm today will rot tomorrow.  What sparkles in the sunlight will rust and decay.   See how poverty stricken you have become.  You will gain for yourself but you will not own God.

Here comes eternity,  look and see!   The place where neither flesh nor gold exists is approaching at the blinding speed.  Where is yesterday?  Reach back, if you can, and lay hold of it.  Yet tomorrow will come and lay hold of you.

They have set their hopes and joys on what will fall away at the advent of God’s presence.  Today is the day of salvation and testing.  It is not the day to amass to yourself.  On the day he appears he will give what he desires and each one will receive.  Ready or not here he comes.
