One of the most interesting and perhaps sad facts about the
last days is the attitude of people toward God. Despite everything that is
going on the book of Revelation states that people will not repent of their
sins. Revelations chapter 16 describes seven plagues that will happen and the
reaction of the people to these plagues.
“And men were scorched
with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these
plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.”
“And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of
the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues
for pain, and blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their
sores, and repented not of their deeds.”
“And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every
stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the
plague of the hail: for the plague thereof was exceeding great.”
The consistent trend with the above plagues shows that
people recognize that God exists and that he has the power over the plagues,
however they will refuse to give him glory for who he is and repent for their
sins. These reactions depict the irrational minds that people will have. The
most logical response to God’s wrath would be to ask for forgiveness and mercy.
When I was a child and about to a whoopin (spanking) I would beg my mom for
forgiveness and tell her how sorry I was. Sometimes I would not get the whoopin
or it would be severely less because I was remorseful. If a child knows the
correct response to deal with someone’s wrath it is truly sad that those people
in the last days will not repent.
Stay Blessed and Continue Warring for Christ!

True Statement I believe even today, "The consistent trend with the above plagues shows that people recognize that God exists...however they will refuse to give him glory for who he is and repent for their sins." lol @ Britt using the word "whoopin".
