whats your new year's revelation?

7When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, "Come!" 8I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.

and i look at the hungry mouths to be fed, but worry about what's my dinner going to be, and i look at the tormented child dying of fatal disease, but worry about my acne scars on the face.

9When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained. 10They called out in a loud voice, "How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?" 11Then each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to wait a little longer, until the number of their fellow servants and brothers who were to be killed as they had been was completed.

and we carelessly utter worthless babbler to Him, but hope to be heard and delivered, and we collect our blessings store and lock in the dungeon of our life, but do not share the love.

12I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red, 13and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as late figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind. 14The sky receded like a scroll, rolling up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place.

and we watch man made catastrophe as if it is course of nature, but not able to fathom things to come, and we live in comfort thinking world will takes care of itself, but fail to comprehend the word.

15Then the kings of the earth, the princes, the generals, the rich, the mighty, and every slave and every free man hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains. 16They called to the mountains and the rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! 17For the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?"

and we marvel and stand in awe of mortal figures that compromise our believe, but cannot see signs right before our eyes.

so what's your new year's revelations? are you still too caught up with earning first million of your life, climbing the highest peak in the world, driving the fastest wheels, buying the latest fashion labels on piece on garment manufacture in a deprived nation?

when will we ever learn?
