Why is there so much cloudiness in the soul?

The murkiness of our hearts is caused every time we sin so that we walk to destruction in ignorance. As a jealous spouse, the Lord will take away all that we hold dear to revel how have chosen to ignore His Torah and disobey sinning. St Augustine said, “Since love grows within you, Beauty grows within you too, Because love is the beauty of the soul.” The point of mercy and truth must come together for you to know the Lord in an intimate way.

Destruction is bound to complete ignorance of the Torah for one walks blindly to his doom for God wants to bless us but our own evil gets in the way drawing us to judgment. Those who worship idols worship demons. Salvation is found when one choose to repent and believe on Yeshua the Messiah alone as Hosea 14:2-3 states this truth:

'Take words with you and return to the LORD.

Say to Him, " Take away all iniquity

And receive us graciously,

That we may present the fruit of our lips.

 "Assyria will not save us,

We will not ride on horses;

Nor will we say again, ' Our god,'

To the work of our hands;

For in You the orphan finds mercy." '

NASU

When a land is at rest, it may be because it is about to be conquered. When a people have lost respect for what is holy and profane what is meant for divine worship, the land is already ruined but the people refuse to recognize it. An odd mark of a fallen society is when fallowing God's word becomes an awkward temptation.

It is said “after darkness light” so is the prayers of the righteous to turn back a second judgment from the Lord for it is not nature that judges for our image of god will be destroyed. When the people of God do not seek Him in purity, a drought of the knowledge of scripture will fallow. All people are called to repentance to find salvation in the grace of the divine. There is a Tree where all who seek it see grace
