We are, "But a Watch in the Night." HAPPY THANKSGIVING 2013

As a "Watch in the Night," from the Bible, Psalm 90 goes as follows:

"Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place
In all generations.
Before the mountains were brought forth,
Or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world,
Even from everlasting, thou art GOD.
Thou turnest man to destruction;
And sayest, "Return, ye children of men."
For a thousand years in thy sight
Are but as yesterday when it is past,
And as a watch in the night..." ~King James version.

"And in those few moments of geologic time will be the story of all that has happened since we became a nation.  And what a story it will be!  A human swarm will sweep across the face of the continent and take it away from the primitive Native American Men.

They will change it far more radically than it has ever been changed before in a comparable time.  The great virgin forests will be seen going down before ax and fire.  The soil, covered for aeons by its protective mantle of wind erosion.

Streams that had been flowing clear will, once again, take up a load of silt and push it toward the seas.  Humus seen to vanish at a terrifying rate.

The railroads and highways and cities that will spring up may divert attention, but they cannot cover up the blight of man's recent activities.

In great sections of Asia, it will be seen that man must utilize cow dung and every scrap of available straw or grass for fuel to cook his food.

The forests that once provided wood for this purpose will be gone without a trace.  The use of these agricultural wastes for fuel, in place of returning them to the land, will be leading to increasing soil impoverishment.

Here and there will be seen a dust storm darkening the landscape over an area a thousand miles across.

Man-creatures will be shown counting their wealth in terms of bits of printed paper representing other bits of a scarce but comparatively useless yellow metal that is kept buried in strong vaults.

Meanwhile, the soil, the only real wealth that can keep mankind alive on the face of this Earth, is savagely being cut loose from its ancient moorings and washed into the seven seas."

WE HAVE JUST ARRIVED UPON THIS EARTH.  HOW LONG WILL WE STAY?

..."But of that day and hour knoweth no man, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only."  ~From the Gospel according to Matthew.


                                               

Personally, I think its getting closer, too close.  This world, especially The United States has turned into a big liberal playground.  And that can be a good thing.  But sometimes too much of a good thing can be a very bad thing.

We are in the belly of the Whale.

Tragedy and Comedy....It's going by quick people. "Like a Watch in the Night."



And so it is~LJLS


Oh...HAPPY THANKSGIVING, Nevertheless.
