As I was pondering this, I thought of these words. This is what I imagine God thinking when it looks at humanity:
'I look down upon my kingdom gravely. They all see me, but none understand me. They do not even see each other. My creation has not realized its potential. Perhaps, it never will. Humans plow through their lives, never seeing, like clockwork. Go here, do this, return home. Repeat. They are no more than the machines they create. Oh, the things I would do differently if I tried again. Maybe they are not beyond saving. But how can we wake them up? Through a bright, blinding light. And where will we find such a light? In those that see and understand.'
I think God is sorely disappointed in humanity, but I do not think it has given up hope. If there is even one person left that understands, God will not give up. Such was the case with the Ark (Noah was saved) and the burning of Sodom (Lot was saved). Such is the case now, I think.
