Eventually the hourglass will drop the last grain sand. Mercy will close her ears. Grace will retire. The cross will be only a broken memory. The blood river will dry up. The ark doors will be closed on this generation of evil doers and God-haters and selfish rebels and every refuser of His Gospel.
