On that day the Lord of Hosts called for weeping,
for wailing,
for shaven heads,
and for the wearing of sackcloth.
But look: joy and gladness,
butchering of cattle,
slaughtering of sheep,
eating of meat,
and drinking of wine--
"Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!"
(Isaiah 22:12-13)
There really are people who hear about God and even sense that a day of reckoning is coming. Their response? Live it up! Party!
It seems nonsensical and shockingly short-sighted. And it is.
Need evidence that this kind of thing is happening? Go to the bars this Saturday night. It will give you compassion for the ancient Judeans.
