In Israel, the lepers were forced to live apart from society as untouchables. There was no known cure. It was the only known way to protect the healthy. The disease was considered the result of sin.

Now, the spiritual lepers are attempting to isolate the spiritually healthy members from any interaction with society. The sick ones want nothing to do with the Cure (see Chapter 215 – Stop Rattling Sabres…) and consider the believers as being dependent on religion because they are unable to deal with the stresses of life.

Satan, the master strategist !
