Grief and sadness, weeping and tears follow the watchmen, the prophet. Their messages, "repent, return and be reconciled to the God who loves you" grow stronger as the day draws near for all things to be accomplished; yet the messanger and the message are met with apathy, indifference and lack of concern. The message, lost amidst the sounding of brass and tinkling of cymbals, is dismissed; growing stale, redundant and irksome to many. Men and women, the old the young seek to be entertained, enlightened, illuminated yet the messanger continues to speak forth truth; knowing the message they must deliver falls on hard, calloused hearts and deaf ears. Go to this people and say, "you will keep on hearing but will not understand, and you will keep on seeing but will not perceive... for the heart of this people has become dull, with their ears they scarcely hear, and they have closed their eyes, otherwise they would see with their eyes, hear with their ears, and understand with their hearts and return, and I would heal them."

One cannot hide for long what is hidden in the heart, yet millions are determined to try. Man gravitates to feel good fantasies; the sensational, the thrilling as teachings on hell, the cross, eternal damnation, repentance and sin are scorned, maligned, ignored. The message of the cross doesn't interest the self-serving be they saint or sinner; for as I have often told you before, and now say again even with tears; many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. Their end is destruction, their god is their belly, and their glory is in their shame. Their minds are set on earthly things...It has become all to obvious that the message of the cross has become a fable, a yarn a tale. Denying The Truth masses scurry around seeking after the baubles the bangles the flash, the fake. To the pure, all things are pure; but to those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure, but both their mind and their conscience are defiled. they profess to know God, but by their deeds they deny Him, being detestable and disobedient and worthless for all good deeds.
