proudly announced, "One giant step for mankind." He
simultaneously pronounced this nation's flash point of
divine judgment. Foolish conjecture? Absolutely not.
Pride is the sin of altitude. We usurp God's power by
flying our puny little kites under His nostrils in impu-
dence. "Who shall bring me down to the ground?"
(Obadiah 3 KJV).
Remember the Tower of Babel? Mankind attempted
the first step into the heavens. They said, "Let us build
a tower . . . to reach into the heavens . . ." (Genesis
11:4). At that point, God immediately sent judgment.
Confusion reigned and God said, "Enough."
Remember also Babylon and its precise hour of divine
judgment? Isaiah said to that proud nation, "Thy pomp
is brought down to the grave . . . thou art fallen from
heaven . . thou are cut down to the ground
for thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into
heaven . . . I will exalt my throne above the stars of
God . . . I will ascend above the heights of the
clouds. . . yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, . ."
(Isaiah 14:13-15 KJV).

God said, "Enough." God brought down this proud and
powerful nation the moment a move was made to put its
foot into "God's tent in the heavens."
I truly believe this nation reached the flash point of
judgment when our spaceships landed on God's moon!
Science paraded like a victor over the universe. Probes
were announced into the vast reaches of the galaxy.
God was brought lower and mankind was exalted
higher. A victory for science. But look what has hap-
pened since the moon landing. A President who basked
in the pride of the event fell from his high place.
Never has the world witnessed such swift judgment, so
complete and humiliating. But following that, our na-
tion has experienced wave after wave of confusion, re-
