The Lord, the LORD Almighty, called you on that day to weep and to wail, to tear out your hair and put on sackcloth. But see, there is joy and revelry, slaughtering of cattle and killing of sheep, eating of meat and drinking of wine!
“Let us eat and drink,” you say, “for tomorrow we die!”
Isaiah 22:12-13 NIV
Faced with crisis what else is there to do but eat drink and be merry!
God says, "Doom is coming! So, repent and be humble."
The people respond with end of the world parties.
Why face your problems when it is more fun to revel in them.
At the risk of being political, is that not what has happened in Washington D.C. for decades. We know there is a problem, but it is easier to raise money at a party about the problem than to actually solve it.
Which will you do this day . . . repent in the face of sin . . . or use sin as an excuse to continue the party?
Your choice . . .
