Oh it’s Christmas again. The day of hope. The day of cosmic reset. A chance perhaps.

But that does not really seem to working or happening, huh?

Many Christmases have come and gone in times of utter darkness and hopeless despair. People could look all about at their world and their evil circumstances and they could see that short of Jesus coming to save them right then and there, they and everything they cared about were doomed. And Jesus did not come.

We are relatively way better off than so many of those people, who nevertheless maintained their faith, even to the horrible end.

But weren’t those poor people just fools?

And wasn’t Jesus the biggest fool of all?

I look at those questions, and then move the discussion to a consideration of the faith and actions of the world, as it is, compared to some things Jesus said this would bring about.

And lastly, I suggest Babylon and the USA seem like very similar cases. And in the Bible, if you are like Babylon, things will not likely end well for you.

Where then is hope?
