The fear of God is missing. God sees and knows all. He seems to be making it clear to the world the extent and true meaning of evil. He wants us to understand how evil is insidious and know how suffering feels. He wants us to CALL UPON HIM TO STOP THIS EVIL. ITS WAY BEYOND HUMAN CAPACITY TO STOP. when we are fully awaken as a human race and turn then to God-- no matter what your name for Him might be --the One --the Creator of all --will hear our cries and then we will begin to see the Judgement and justice will prevail suffering will end and evil will cease to exist. Remember without fear of God and without acknowledging His presence and power we will continue down this path of sorrow and suffering.
...suddenly at home.....
Sigh. So sad.
