@Dan_Bowdoin Yes. Eliot: “Prophesy to the wind to the wind only for only The wind will listen.” On the other hand, God's Day doesn't amount to a rhetorical reordering of deck chairs, rather to a reckoning settling supernatural terms at the planetary level, once and for all. God disposes.
@DanielPinchbeck Quran 34:34: "We never sent a warner to a community but the affluent say: ‘We reject what you were sent with.’" Heschel: "The hunger of the powerful knows no satiety. Power exalts itself & is incapable of yielding to any transcendent judgment; it ‘listens to no voice.’ (Zep.3:2)"
