Tree of Death ?


Considering:
from Flickr.com (Bing)
▪ “endless,” end-of-days prophecies, interpretations, and misinterpretations(?);
▪ innumerable televangelists converting “seed” into mammon and sheep’s clothing;1
▪ vain ‘n profane speech and entertainments;
▪ denigration of the poor, the innocent, the oppressed, and the unborn;2
▪ chem-dumping worldwide in land, sea, sky, and body;3
▪ sequential profiteering wars and preludes to more;
▪ Hiroshima and Nagasaki (1945);4
▪ Chernobyl (1986), Fukushima-Daiichi (2011), and numerous other near or hidden nuclear disasters;5 AND NOW,
▪ the “scientific” collisions at CERN;6
yes, considering all these and more, could God be nearing the conviction that humankind has passed the tipping point—being more in love with death than with His Tree of Life?

Perhaps we should remember:
Some things are worse than death,7
Considering there is a resurrection.

Book of Mormon | 2 Nephi 9:10 ~ O how great the goodness of our God, who prepareth a way for our escape from the grasp of this awful monster; yea, that monster, death and hell, which I call the death of the body, and also the death of the spirit.
Book of Mormon | Alma 13:30 ~ And may the Lord grant unto you repentance, that ye may not bring down his wrath upon you, that ye may not be bound down by the chains of hell, that ye may not suffer the second death.
Pearl of Great Price | Moses 6:27-29 ~ And he heard a voice from heaven, saying: Enoch, my son, prophesy unto this people, and say unto them—Repent, for thus saith the Lord: I am angry with this people, and my fierce anger is kindled against them; for their hearts have waxed hard, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes cannot see afar off; And for these many generations, ever since the day that I created them, have they gone astray, and have denied me, and have sought their own counsels in the dark; and in their own abominations have they devised murder, and have not kept the commandments, which I gave unto their father, Adam. Wherefore, they have foresworn themselves, and, by their oaths, they have brought upon themselves death; and a hell I have prepared for them, if they repent not;
Old Testament | Proverbs 11:19 ~ As righteousness tendeth to life: so he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death.
