He calls the Cross a sign, as a trophy and royal ensign. Then all the tribes of the land of Judea will mourn and bewail their own unbelief, and all those who care for earthly things will mourn, though they be Christians. For those who are attached to earthly things might also be called the tribes of the earth.

It&#8217;s a frightening place to leave. Why does God permit all this?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 God has everything written. He knows everything about all that will happen to mankind and to each of us. And He knows that there are still people that may be converted, to inherit His Kingdom. And a person is more important, you see: one person saved is more important than multitudes who perish.

For example, among authors there are many pulp fiction writers, but surely you will agree that even one talented writer can justify the existence of literature as a whole.
