I was curious about the comparative wealth of Japan... to the rest of the world. It is no doubt the richest for any country that would qualify of any size. 1.]Luxembourg..$37,500 per capita...Pop:-500,0002.]Switzerland..$37,000 per capita...Pop:-7,600,0003.]Japan.........$35,500 per capita....Pop: 127,000,000Japan turned it's incredible resolve and ingenuity out of the ashes of WW2 to become an economic juggernaut of amazement and envy to the entire world.This came across my mind, as I considered this thread....THE SIN OF SODOM. Sodom was a wealthy, leisurely place...Many consider the sin of Sodom to be her aggressive sexual perversion. I don't think so...I see the perversion as a flower of another sin...Pride and hardness of heart.Ezekiel 16:48-50 (New King James Version)48. As I live, says the Lord GOD, neither your sister Sodom nor her daughters have done as you and your daughters have done. 49 Look, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: She and her daughter had pride, fullness of food, and abundance of idleness; ....neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. 50 And they were haughty and committed abomination before Me; therefore I took them away as I saw fit."...God.For a people who would rather worship a commode god, than to bow before the living God......The modern commode attributed to, and promoted by Thomas Crapper, with American GIs using the slang term after WW1.This is that...but God is very serious unto those who lightly trample upon His mercies time and time again.

At least we had the godly foundation to start with, and look how far we have strayed! Makes me shudder!"
