Woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no place, that they may be placed alone in the midst of the earth!
Little things like that. The more I read this book and look at society today, we were warned about everything thousands of years in advance. Churches were gatekeepers, they couldn't offend society and comfort and "progress", because society and comfort and progress paid their bills and grew their power. Some of these churches literally will take donations and THEN pray that the congregation be "blessed" with a windfall of social success and money. Disgusting.
Could not agree more with this.
