In these current days of darkness under the sun, as the storm winds of God continue to increase exponentially in frequency and magnitude, the lament, anguish, fear, loneliness and despair of the people of all races, ethnicities, faiths and religions of the world are also increasing exponentially, as the resultant chaos, fear, shattered lives, and other residuals are left scattered in the wake of each cataclysmic onslaught! And scarcely do we begin to draw a full breath of relief after each traumatic passing of one violent assault, when we are driven again to our knees, upon learning of another approaching storm wind! What are the storm winds? In my novel, I call the ???acts of God??? ??? such as earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, etc., ??? the ???storm winds???. I have addressed these matters, as well other related phenomena in my novel. The following O.T. quote from The Book of Sirach, 39:28-31, is one of the reoccurring themes in my novel:
???There are storm winds created to punish, / which in their fury can dislodge mountains; / When destruction must be, they hurl all their force / and appease the anger of their Maker. / In his treasury also, kept for the proper time, / are fire and hail, famine, disease, / Ravenous beasts, scorpions, vipers, / and the avenging sword to exterminate the wicked; / In doing his bidding they rejoice, / in their assignments they disobey not his command.??? /
May God bless each of you, always.
