The idea of prophesy is to warn His people in advance, sometimes hundreds of years in advance. Who would have guessed Nineveh would repent immediately.

If the watchers eyes are open to the signs today and sound the alarm and enough people listen, He will turn back.

There are whole movements based on the reason Sodom was destroyed was due to being impolite to the angles and it was a custom in that day to show courtesy to a guest.

More evidence that we try to shape God's word to fit our sins.

Quoting the verses in the Bible keeps my spin off of it and lets the hearer hear what God wants him to hear. Maybe salvation, maybe nothing.

Truth to that. There's a saying that goes something like; If you were accused of being a Christian, would there be enough evidence to convict? You my friend, are guilty as charged. ;^)

As I was reading your reply, I had a vision come to my head that if I were in a coma for 10 years and woke up today and switched on the TV and saw what was going on in government, I would immediately go prostrate on the floor and pray God would forgive whatever we have done to earn this. I think Christians are having the boiling frog syndrome. If it takes 10 years, we must be all right. Sorta like the guy that commits adultery and doesn’t get hit with lightning as he goes to his car. Must be alright with God.
