It looks like the attempt at an American oligarchy will fail, and the leader of the movement will end up in disrepute.

More people are seeing that hatred and revenge lead to chaos.

And more people are turning against that chaos.

It may be that the world needed to see this once again—that the effort to destroy others always ends in self-destruction.

Always—eventually.

That’s because hatred and revenge are opposed to the fundamental power that sustains creation.

That power is love.

More specifically, that power is God’s love.

The great discovery of my (to-be-published) book, Discovering God, is that God has made all things from Himself.

Not my idea alone.

It is echoed in many NDEs and other kinds of encounters with God.

And in scripture.

Paul said, “In Him [God] we live and move and have our being.”

That means we are all, ultimately, one with God—and one with each other.

We are truly the human “family,” rooted in God.

So, revenge against the neighbor is finally revenge against the self—and against God.

“That which you do to the least of these, you do to me,” said Jesus.

What more people are beginning to see is that hatred and revenge do not work.

Indeed, it cannot work.

I will be saying in my sermon on Sunday that Jesus calls us to reject revenge.

But what about those Bible passages that tell us God is vengeful?
