BLIND AND DEAF TO SEE AND HEAR THE WORD OF THE LORD.

THEY FALL IN THE WILDERNESS AND ARE TAKEN WHILE YIELDING TO THE BEGUILING SERPENT WHO PROMISES PEACE AND PROSPERITY IN THE WAY OF INIQUITY AND THE SNARE OF TEMPTATION THAT IS UPON INHABITANTS OF THE EARTH AND OF THE SEA WHO WORSHIP THE PROFANE AND BOW TO THE UNCLEAN THING AND ARE MADE RICH BY THE SPOIL OF THE POOR AND OPPRESSED WHOM THEY TRAMPLE UNDER THEIR FEET AND FOUL THE PASTURES OF THEIR DESOLATE HOUSES. CONVERTING THEM SEVEN TIMES WORSE TO WORSHIP THE BEAST AND THE VILE PROPHET WHO SPEAKS TO THE DEAD IN TRESPASSES AND SINS AS A GOD: "BE WARMED AND FILLED WITH PEACE AND RICHES". THEY ARE BLIND AND DEAF TO SEE AND HEAR THE WORD OF THE LORD.

THE SPIRIT OF BURNING AND JUDGEMENT IS POURED OUT UPON ALL FLESH WHO RUN TO AND FRO SEEKING THE WAY OF PEACE BUT CANNOT FIND IT, BECAUSE THERE IS NO PEACE TO THE WICKED AND SINNERS WHO DESPISE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD, EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW GOD WHO CREATED HEAVEN AND EARTH AND ALL THINGS THEREIN. THEY NO LONGER CAN ENDURE CORRECTION OR COMMANDMENTS TO DO GOOD AND HATE EVIL. FOR GOD HAS GIVEN THEM OVER TO A REPROBATE MIND TO WORK WICKEDNESS EARNESTLY WITH ALL THEIR MINDS AND WITH ALL THEIR STRENGTH. WOE, LAMENTATIONS AND GREAT TRIBULATION!
