  "Did you ever own a Thompson asked. Hе leaned forward, a small gray man in his late sixties, and peered at his visitor through old fashioned bifocals across the breadth of desk which separated them. The young man standing before the desk fidgeted impatiently as Thompson looked down at the interview card which read "Edward Farnsworth,–Agent, Worldwide Shows", and scratched the ears of the big Siamese cat sitting on his lap. The cat looked up with incurious blue eyes, regarded Farnsworth with a peculiarly dispassionate starе. stretched, yawned, and closed 80 his eyes again. It was perfectly apparent that the tall swarthy visitor was a matter of complete disinterest. "Now take Cato, here," Thompson continued. "He's a fine specimen of a cat. Have you owned anything like him?"  
  "Once," Farnsworth said. "When I went to Venus. But I don't see what this has to do with my business with you. All I want is a simple answer. Do or do I not get permission to import a pair of Venusian horgels?"  
  "You do not," Thompson said succinctly.  
  "This makes the fourth time," Farnsworth sighed. "So I'll have to go to higher authority, I suppose."  
  "There is no higher authority, son. This is the end of the line."

  Have you ever thought that the trial you're facing might be a divine warning in love? 
  Is that pandemic, illness, earthquake, or accident really just coincidence? 
  Or could it be God’s way of speaking to us? 
  🕊️ In this powerful and deeply moving sermon, His Holiness Pope Shenouda III opens our eyes to the truth behind God’s warnings. 
  He shows us how God loves us enough to shake us awake—to warn us before it’s too late.📖 Biblical Examples of God’s Warnings: 
  1️⃣ Sodom and Gomorrah: 
  2️⃣ The People of Nineveh: 
  3️⃣ In the Days of Noah:⚠️ How Does God Warn Us? 
  God uses many ways to reach the heart: 
  🔹 A painful trial… suffering, loss, failure. 
  🔹 A sudden illness… to push us to examine our spiritual life. 
  🔹 A global pandemic… a collective wake-up call. 
  🔹 A rebuke from a faithful servant… a piercing arrow to the conscience. 
  🔹 A shocking event… shaking our foundation and drawing us back to God. 
  “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts.” (Hebrews 3:15)🔥 Why Does God Warn Us? 
  ✅ So we turn back from destruction. 
  ✅ So we don’t perish like the people of Sodom. 
  ✅ To prepare us for eternal life. 
  ✅ To lead us to self-examination and repentance. 
  ✅ So our hearts cling to Him—not this fading world. 
  “Unless you repent, you too will all perish.” (Luke 13:3)
