Slavery denounced

US still says no to reparations

Need reparations

The U-S-A will not pay

Sevenfold restoration.

Earlier this week, the United Nations (UN) passed a resolution that calls for reparations for slavery. The United States of America was one of the three countries that voted against reparations for slavery.

Every country in the European Union abstained from voting. That's not surprising either based upon the indifference that ravages that continent.

This no vote is not surprising because the US has never paid full restitution for slavery ever since the end of Civil War in 1865.

Now, here is an interesting quote from King Solomon listed in Proverbs 6:30-31 (KJV).

"Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry; But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house."

The sevenfold restoration will not happen soon because the US would go bankrupt. However, vengeance is patient.
