Isaiah 65:11 But you who forsake the LORD,
who forget my holy mountain,
who set a table for Fortune
and fill cups of mixed wine for Destiny,
This spirit of speculation is running rampant, with more and more ways to gamble in life.
As I contemplated the word 'meni' translated destiny here, I realized that these men were not 'worshiping god's of wealth and fortune', they were trying to speculate and predict fate (the future) for advantage. For this reason I have proposed in the title of this thread, that speculation is what is at hand in this turning from God.
This is also a part of the mammon that we cannot serve while serving Him.
How much wealth can one save and not engage in speculation,
if much of that wealth is invested in stocks and bonds, and subject to the global casino?
