"'The days are coming,' declares the Sovereign Lord,'when I will send a famine through the land --not a famine of food or thirst for water,but a famine of hearing the words of the Lord.Men will stagger from sea to seaand wander from north to east,searching for the word of the Lord,but they will not find it.'"
Today we have Bible's everywhere, several at our house, a whole host of them at the neighborhood bookstore, every version and variety imaginable just a click away at Amazon.com or Biblegateway.com, translated and edited to appeal to every sort of person, from the Cliffs Notes Bible to the Bible for Dummies. Access to scripture is so easy.
But do we suffer from a famine of hearing the words of the Lord? It's everywhere. But do we hear it? Is it possible in our rejection of scripture that the Lord has brought about a famine so that we can't even hear his words? It's only nonsense and gibberish, unbelievable archaic stories, myth, misinformed musings for the uneducated and unsophisticated ? Is our society so out-of-touch with God that even those "searching for the word of the Lord...will not find it?"
Lord knows.
