Enough!

One Year Bible, 11/21/11-Now listen you rich people, . . . . the wages you failed to pay the workmen who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter (James 5:1-5)

Occasionally God intervenes in history, because the stench of some human behavior is so over the top, God chooses not to wait for “the day of the Lord” to execute justice. The final judgment of the wicked has been delayed, God being so full of love, “not willing that any should perish” and “full of compassion and mercy.” But finally God says, “Enough!” Also there are natural, man-made, legal and social consequences for those whose idolatry includes a putting profits and gain before the well-being of people.
