I don’t know exactly when; all I know is that as sure as the earth spins, so does the wheel of fortune and when God-timing arrives like a thief-unannounced like the tardy bridegroom, tax collectors will be tossing out their loots in exchange for some oil to save their lamps.
Like Zacchaeus, their consciousness will awaken. They will give back first place to the one who owns the world and all that is in it. The one who pays a fair wage for a good day’s work will divide the loot, giving to the last the same as the first. Shrewd managers will then save their teeth from grinding and gnashing by doing exactly what the chief tax collector in Jesus’ day did. This is how the God who keeps every promise remains faithful to its word, works.
