One fat cat

This is one very big, very fat cat. There may be others that are bigger and fatter, but this one is a whopper! This doesn't happen by accident; they are very well fed and PAMPERED! People can be like that too! Over fed and their every desire fulfilled; here is an example.


Deu 31:14-22
(14) Yahweh said to Moses, Behold, your days approach that you must die: call Joshua, and present yourselves in the Tent of Meeting, that I may commission him. Moses and Joshua went, and presented themselves in the Tent of Meeting.
(15) Yahweh appeared in the Tent in a pillar of cloud: and the pillar of cloud stood over the door of the Tent.
(16) Yahweh said to Moses, Behold, you shall sleep with your fathers; and this people will rise up, and play the prostitute after the strange gods of the land, where they go to be among them, and will forsake me, and break my covenant which I have made with them.
(17) Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall come on them; so that they will say in that day, Haven't these evils come on us because our God is not among us?
(18) I will surely hide my face in that day for all the evil which they shall have worked, in that they are turned to other gods.
(19) Now therefore write you this song for you, and teach you it the children of Israel: put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel.
(20) For when I shall have brought them into the land which I swore to their fathers, flowing with milk and honey, and they shall have eaten and filled themselves, and grown fat; then will they turn to other gods, and serve them, and despise me, and break my covenant.
(21) It shall happen, when many evils and troubles are come on them, that this song shall testify before them as a witness; for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed: for I know their imagination which they frame this day, before I have brought them into the land which I swore.
(22) So Moses wrote this song the same day, and taught it the children of Israel.

Moses was about to die; unpleasant, but necessary because of his disobedience. God foretells Israel's spiritual adultery and has Moses write a song that testifies as to what they will do. Sometimes having too much is as bad as having too little. Perhaps The United States of America should read this passage and reflect upon it before its too late. We don't have nine lives to play with; the end could be near!
