More confirmation that much of this battle was spiritual. Amazing thing is, the God-haters think that this means God lost or God didn’t answer prayer. In reality, God did answer - and in a way that those who chose pocket book or race or popularity over His truths wll be judged for, and judged harshly I’m afraid.
This reminds me of some Deacons in a small Southern Baptist church I attended for awhile. They talked a good talk, called others on the carpet when their gossipy wives nagged and they always voted their pocketbook.
