Revelation 9:20-21
Revelation 9:20: “And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.”
This passage is truly remarkable. Despite all of the terrible divine judgments that just happened – despite all the horrifying things that God has done to destroy the environment and wipe out huge portions of mankind – people still do not repent. They do not ask for mercy or forgiveness, and they do not change their ways. Despite the staggering judgments that just happened, mankind continues to serve false gods and refuses to repent. The judgments of God have no effect on them. People may be dying by the billions, but mankind simply will not repent of its sins.
