THE LUIGI EFFECT!

And the rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, so as not to worship demons, and the idols of gold and of silver and of brass and of stone and of wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk.  And they did not repent of their murders nor of their sorceries nor of their sexual immorality nor of their thefts. Revelation 9:20-21

I saw in the news recently Luigi Mangione in court for his murder of Brian Thompson, a United Health Care CEO back in 2024.  Even the news described him as smiling, happy and making jokes.  This is a man that I would say the authorities are about 95% sure that he is guilty.  He was not a bit remorseful, sorrowful, regretful, and not even serious.  He clearly is not repentant for what he has surely done.  Here he sits facing judgment and soon conviction for what he has done, and he has no conscience.  He doesn’t even plead for mercy.  I tell you this is typical of the unrepentant sinful people that will be caught up in the judgments of the Tribulation Period.  They will have the same attitude of Luigi - the “Luigi Effect” to put a name on it. 

They will not repent of worshiping false gods, nor murders (like Luigi).  They’re also unrepentant of “sorceries” (GK. Pharmakia – Drugs). A more prevalent sin is their immorality.  With all the world’s sinful adulteries, living-together, marriage abuses and the whole LGBTQ perversions, there will be a lot of unrepentant people like this. And then, there are thefts, a seeming minor thing in comparison. These are the people facing the judgments of the Tribulation.  We should be the exact opposite of the Luigis.
