AN UNCHANGED MELODY

      "The thing that hath been,
          it is that which shall be;
        and that which is done
           is that which shall be done: 
       and there is no new thing under the sun." (Ecclesiastes 1: 9)
  
   There was a time when truth had a strange, mysterious way of bothering people.  Today, however, truth no longer bothers people.  To them, they continue to believe according to the script that is written in their imaginations. To them, there is no new thing under the sun, and their lives remain as an unchanged melody, for the song in their hearts never changes.  They are never shocked, they are never stunned, and they are never stirred.
   There is an Islamic prayer tower on the roof of the One World Trade Center in New York City, which is a sign of things to come in the United States, but people are not bothered by this truth.  To them, they continue to believe according to the script that is written in their imaginations.  To them, there is no new thing under the sun, and their lives remain as an unchanged melody, for the song in their hearts never changes.  They are never shocked, they are never stunned, and they are never stirred. 
   There is a Communist-Islamic regime arising in Washington, D.C., to steal our nation from us, but people are not bothered by this truth.  To them, they continue to believe according to the script that is written in their imaginations.  To them, there is no new thing under the sun, and their lives remain as an unchanged melody, for the song in their hearts never changes.  They are never shocked, they are never stunned, and they are never stirred.
   We keep an American idol in our homes, which we watch religiously to see if there is any good news from the imaginations of men, only to discover that there is no new thing under the sun.  This truth does not bother people, however, because they remain stedfast in their belief that if something good is to come it will come to them by television---while their lives remain as an unchanged melody, for the song in their hearts never changes.
   When God shakes the earth, the hearts of people will suddenly be shaken from the power of the script that is written in their imaginations.  They will be shocked, they will be stunned, and they will be shaken.  No longer will they be singing an unchanged melody.
      "And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things that are coming on the earth:  for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.  And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.  And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up; for your redemption draweth nigh." (Luke 21: 25-28)
