I will bring that up on Friday night in “Eschatology.” “Eschatology” simply means the doctrine of the last things. But when these things appear, you will know that the time is at hand. That’s eschatology, the doctrine of the last things. So, if you are prophesying, as some of these people said the other day . . they said that California is going to sink into the ocean or something, you have no idea how many intelligent people left the State and went elsewhere. Now they are coming back very sheepishly. I have a few friends . . they wouldn’t tell me why they left, but they called me up suddenly one day. He has a lovely income without working. He has a beautiful home in Encino . . lovely home. I’ve gone there several times. He is a perfectly wonderful host. They have no children . . he and his wife; they have a dog and a lovely home, with beautiful gardens and lovely fruit trees. They left that home and move to Arizona, and they gave me the excuse that, “Oh, the smog was so terrible.” We’ve had that for years now; but suddenly, after all these years, he can’t take it. But I knew exactly when he spoke on the phone . . I knew intuitively exactly why he was leaving. He waited six weeks, and it didn’t sink; so he came back. After about two weeks he called me up, and I knew from his tone of voice that he was hoping I would not suspect, but I would never tell him! It would be unkind to tell him I knew that. But he listens to all these little radio programs at night be these people they get to sell toothpaste; and all through the night he sits up, instead of reading the Bible or reading some wonderful work . . read a beautiful poem . . the great poets, read them. No, he turns on the radio, and then all through the night, he makes notes of these silly things by the way. He even puts them on paper . . writes letters to the papers. Well, of course, he doesn’t have to work; he has a lovely income, but maybe he needs a job to keep his mind occupied with all this nonsense. But you have no idea what people will do, and they are intelligent people! This man is a very intelligent man, judged by human standards. But “the wisdom of men is foolishness in the eyes of God.” So, what can you do? Leave them alone.576 ¶51
