Pride

The reason why with no weapons they can do it is PRIDE,
and that which is in all of us; a supernatural desire to see the
end of effort.  I already told them that the word for escape is
"flee" and even with a world chock full of evidence that they
are wrong, they will not "flee".  Without any intervention, that
which they are hoping in will happen, but not by God's power,
but by man's weakness.  It is as simple as an end of effort.
On the other hand the True God is not deaf to the cry of afflicted one.
It is all being done in the name of the Father, I do not see anything but
the end of humankind, because there is no compromise.
Such warning was ignored a billion billion times over.
You think desire and pride are not contagious?  I hope you are right.
