The Catastrophe in the Gulf of Mexico.
.
The wall paintings from Mt. Athos depicting scenes of the Apocalypse keep coming to mind each time I see footage of the oil leak in the gulf. And as I read the text from the Book of Revelation the frescoes illustrate, I can't help but think of the volcanic activity taking place around the world as well. Yet volcanic activity is natural... the oil leak is not.
.
All the efforts to stop the leak have thus far failed.

Hello Terry,
ReplyDeleteWhenever I watch the coverage of the oil leak, it brings to mind the following verse:
The earth lies polluted under its inhabitants; for they have transgressed laws, violated the statutes, broken the everlasting covenant. Therefore a curse devours the earth; its inhabitants suffer for their guilt." (Isaiah 24:4-6).
Pax,
John
Excellent. Thanks John.
ReplyDeleteI have been thinking of the same verses. Glad to find I am not alone.
