O my brethren and cistern! The mighty work of the Lord in the I-35 (Isaiah 35) Highway of Light project impelled me to look up the similar verses for America's master west-coast highway, I-5. And so I am cast into distress, fellow Landoverians. I am deep in gloom.
Let us delve into the Lord's teaching in I-5, the fifth book of Isaiah.
Woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no place, that they may be placed alone in the midst of the earth! Isaiah 5:8
WOE! Woe unto them that extendeth the suburb until house joins to house! Woe to the architects of urban sprawl. The great west-coast Gomorrah, Los Angeles, shall be blighted and desolate. Bakersfield shall stand as an abomination! Yea, the policies of the Governator shall avail California naught, for the Lord despises the mega-city which joins metropolis to metropolis in an unbroken Californication of the land.
In mine ears said the LORD of hosts, Of a truth many houses shall be desolate, even great and fair, without inhabitant.
Yea, ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and the seed of an homer shall yield an ephah. Isaiah 5:9,10
The great houses of the I-5 corridor shall be DESOLATE! Even the great and fair houses of Sacramento, the mighty estates of Portland and Seattle, all the sprawling suburbs built without heed for the Lord shall be without inhabitant. Their vineyards shall yield but a bathtub of wine. And the seed of an homer shall yield an ephah! AND THE SEED OF AN HOMER SHALL YIELD AN EPHAH!
Alas. On the West Coast there is no Highway of Light, but rather a Freeway of Darkness. And the seed of the homer shall defile the land.
Pray for the people of the I-5 corridor. Pray for them, for they are lost in darkness.
