Can a spinning top move in a straight line or find a clear direction? It is too busy turning again and again upon itself. It resists any hand that tries to send it in a clear direction. It exists and acts only for itself, with no heed of anything else.

This is the world, spinning relentlessly out of control, caught up in forces which only propel it more quickly. Nothing gives purpose or meaning. Nothing else is allowed to guide mankind’s course which is now caught up in powers far beyond its strength.

Will I act? I must act. I must take steps to stop mankind’s selfishness. These will be merciful acts that will prevent far greater destruction. However, the acts themselves will not be seen as merciful. I will explain all this ahead of time so that my people, at least, will understand.

Mankind is weighed down with past decisions, often made by others. Some are no longer living but their sins and the power of their sins live after them, perpetuated by those who follow in their footsteps. Their sinful decisions have become “the law of the land” (as they say). America is weighed down by its history and it refuses to repent. It refuses to repent of its history and go in a different direction. What else can the heavenly Father do? He must stop America in its tracks so it cannot pursue its destructive path. This is an act of mercy
