One prophet describes a loser’s destiny as follows. “Alas, you who are longing for the day of the Lord, For what purpose will the day of the Lord be to you? It will be darkness and not light; As when a man flees from a lion And a bear meets him, Or goes home, leans his hand against the wall And a snake bites him. Will not the day of the Lord be darkness instead of light, Even gloom with no brightness in it?” (Amos 5:18-20, NASB)

Some of us will remember the Independent Counsel going after a questionable financial deal involving the Clintons and ending up with a sexual impropriety. By any reasonable analogy to that probe the Special Counsel looking at the mountains of corruption and criminality surrounding the 45th president is going to have a field day reeling in the fallen stars of the GOP, from Mitch McConnell to Mark Meadows and all the “trumpettes” between.

They saw, heard, and cared little

The 45th president announced his first candidacy with clear plans to engage in criminal conduct of the office. The flaws in his character were gaping holes in the walls of private integrity he never cherished. People heard him loud and clear.

“So when you spread out your hands in prayer, I will hide My eyes from you; Yes, even though you multiply prayers, I will not listen. Your hands are covered with blood.”

Isaiah 1:15, NASB

When the power of the people is chained to self-centred ambition, racist animus, and the creation of barriers to the pursuits guaranteed by law, the people will show that they think that the fire alarm is a lullaby, “God bless America”. The lion and the bear are ravaging the fleeing and God is not listening to hypocritical prayers.
