I don’t have the answer to your question, but I DO know this from studying human behavior for decades: Change is instigated by pain.
Think about it. Humans get very stuck in their thoughts, patterns, and behaviors. The overeater, the spendthrift, or the serial cheater aren’t willing to consider changing until they receive the devastating diagnosis, the eviction notice, or lose the love of their life. There has to be a GIANT wake-up call to interrupt comfortability and penetrate the ego enough for it to even begin considering a change in thoughts, behaviors and patterns. This interruption is almost always devastatingly painful. There needs to be a major “SNAP OUT OF IT!” event.
How do you break generations of brain-washed people? What kind of “SNAP OUT OF IT!” moment would be required to begin the awakening process for the most amount of people at one time? What’s the one thing that our government could do that would make the sleeping Americans finally say OH HELL NO?
We either scare them enough so that they can snap out of it and move forward with us, or we deliberately choose to leave them behind. I think God wants us to be loving and kind and bring them with us. But it has to be their choice. And the “scare event” will be designed for them to choose.
