Cannot the Lord simply strike down His impious defiers in Rowan County, Kentucky?
Watch out, liberals, lest ye be smitten! (image source)
After all, we're talking about a track record that includes laying waste to
Sodom and Gomorrah, drowning ol' Pharoah's army in the Red Sea, and pulling a world-wide Katrina on Noah.
It seems like if the All Highest could melt a bunch of Nazis with the Ark of the Covenant, He could fix up Rowan County's dolorous nest of sinners PDQ.
As His agent, our modern day Oliver Cromwell, Kim Davis, Rowan County High Priestess ... er ... Clerk, sez:
It is not a light issue for me. It is a Heaven or Hell decision. For me it is a decision of obedience. I have no animosity toward anyone and harbor no ill will. To me this has never been a gay or lesbian issue. It is about marriage and God’s Word.
Hmmmm. Mayhap it's also about keeping an easy government job that pays $80,000 a year in a county where,
per the Wiki:
The median income for a household in the county was $33,081.
You say you want a revolution? We’d all like to see the plan.(source)
According to the Lord's Website (aka
National Review), the quadruply wed Ms. Davis is indeed a religious
revolutionary. But such revolutions don't always come off, perhaps because:
Περὶ δὲ τῆς ἡμέρας ἐκείνης καὶ ὥρας οὐδεὶς οἶδεν, οὐδὲ οἱ ἄγγελοι τῶν οὐρανῶν οὐδὲ ὁ Υἱός, εἰ μὴ ὁ Πατὴρ μόνος.
But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
Our modern Cromwell wannabes should perhaps take greater care in ascertaining the will of the divine. Per
C.V. Wedgwood:
"This man against whom the Lord hath witnessed," said Cromwell.
But the King had read the will of the Almighty in a different sense, and been equally sure that God was with him.
