God Said So

I do not assume to know the mind of God. But, something is happening in this country that has happened enumerable times throughout history, even the biblical history of God. For several years now, there has been a movement among the wealthy and powerful in America to harass the poor and the homeless, so to chase them away from the inner cities - inner cities where developers plan to profiteer from redevelopment. There is hardly a city in America where this is not being tried. Still, these efforts are failing miserably, the homeless populations in the inner cities persist unchanged. Yet now we are experiencing a near collapse of the institutions, financial, development, etc., that have been the harbingers of the greed that inspired the mistreatment of the poor and homeless. I cannot say if this is, or is not, God's punishment for bad deeds. But, I can say with all certainty that biblical history, again, has been the best fortune teller.
