Bible Note: Hi CDBJ, The only point of comparison I referrenced in my post was the degree of judgment. I didn't cite any examples of fashion, culture, or occupation. The point I was making was specifically confined to the fact that the trumpet judgments, presented by Scripture as plagues, and wrath, were not directly comparable to the flood, or to the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. Those judgments were specifically to destroy the unrighteous entirely. The trumpet judgments are not. The trumpet judgments each have a specific limitation. This is a significant difference, and it is one that I am not comfortable overlooking. Love in Christ, Mark |
