Some roads come to an abrupt end, while others peter out. Roads can start out strong and wide and full of traffic, but at each turn, it narrows, the surface changing until nearing the end of the track—the roadway is hardly worn. It becomes a pathway, a single track, and finally at its end, it simply fades into no way at all, just wilderness. The journey is at an end. The successive pictures of the judgment bowls indicate intensity, abruptness and finality. However, there is another theme in the story in which the track is winding down and its course concludes not in a hardly discerned whimper. It is finished. While the judgment of God is gathering momentum, the choices of men are altogether weaker, fainter and somehow less. They meet in the same event when men become all that they have chosen and their final place is what they have resolutely chosen—a place that God is not.
