In the likeness


He who continues in a life of rebellion against the Holy God can be likened to wild animals.  Such creatures do as pleases them, regardless where their feet take them.  They pursue ambition blindly, and ignorant of a certain and present danger.

There is the land and presence of man.  If a creature proves that he will not stop molesting what the man treasures, death or inevitable and permanent restraint  approaches quickly.

Imagine that a few animals were able to conspire against man as man does against God.  Would the animals understand the deadly instruments the man may wield?  Quite likely, not.

Once a bullet has found flesh, it does what bullets do.  Whether death or serious injury, change is made in the conspiracy.  But until the confrontation the conspiracy continues.

Man can be likened to God, in that he has patience.  Is there not an end to the patience of man?  How is it man assumes there is no end to the patience of God?  And yet they conspire with confidence.

Who is wise among men but that he ceases his activity of conspiracy?  Who is wise among men but that he that appeals to the “Most High” for truce?

Who is foolish among men but he who does not consider these things?  Who is foolish among men but he who continues in his rebellion thinking their are no consequences?
