But the resolution also petitions God to protect the people of Blount County from the upcoming Apocalypse that will surely come now that same-sex couples have been marrying throughout the United States (even though same-sex couples have been marrying in patches of the United States for well over a decades -- longer if you count those of us who've been doing commitment ceremonies -- without any Apocalyptic overtones). Check this out:
With a firm reliance upon the providence of Almighty God WE the BLOUNT COUNTY LEGISLATURE call upon all of the Officers of the State of Tennessee, the Governor, the Attorney General, and the members of the Tennessee Legislature, to join US, and utilize all authority within their power to protect Natural Marriage, from lawless court opinions, AND THE financial schemes of the enemies of righteousness wherever the source AND defend the Moral Standards of Tennessee.
WE adopt this Resolution before God that He pass us by in His Coming Wrath and not destroy our County as He did Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighboring cities. As the Passover Lamb was a means of salvation to the ancient Children of Israel, so we stand upon the safety of the Lamb of God to save us.
WE adopt this Resolution begging His favor in light of the fact that we have been forced to comply and recognize that the State of Tennessee, like so many other God-fearing States, MAY have fallen prey to a lawless judiciary in legalizing what God and the Bible expressly forbids.Of course, I'm thinking of the day that everyone and everything surrounding Blount County, TN, goes up in smoke; while the people of Blount County transform into pillars of salt because they can't stop looking.
