Ezekiel 22 says that judgment comes for lack of an intercessor standing in the way. The buck stops here.
30 I looked for someone among them who would become a fence and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found no one. 31 So I will pour out my wrath on them and consume them with my fiery anger, bringing down on their own heads all they have done, declares the Sovereign Lord.
@gladflicka I was reading 1Peter 4 and wondering if this is the time.
(KJV) For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.
@Pedro I've no time to wonder about time. While it's day we're expected to work
