English Yokel

A penny has just dropped

Yokel has just been reading a number of other blogs that he follows. In particular he has been reading Fjordman at Dhimmi Watch. As part of a very well argued piece (as always from him), Fjordman writes: 'Former Soviet dissident Vladimir Bukovksy, who is not particularly preoccupied with Islam, fears that the European Union is on its way to becoming another Soviet Union: "The sooner we finish with the EU the better. The sooner it collapses the less damage it will have done to us and to other countries." '

But a thought went straight through Yokel's mind, "It will be longer than that". How long?

Yokel was reminded of the initial refusal by the children of Israel to take the Promised Land, and how God then kept that generation in the wilderness until all those who refused to fight has died. Only then were the people permitted to enter that land. Forty years later.

Then, when Ezra and Nehemiah led the return of the Israelites from Babylon, it was after an exile that lasted 150 years. When God punishes, he does it thoroughly. Here is not the place to catalogue all the ways in which the UK has offended the Lord God. If you have a mind to, you can do it yourself.

This calls for a heavy think. It might be some time before Yokel posts again.
