So you do not know?

eejoseph,

The United States of America and the State of Israel are the carriers of humanity’s violence pandemic, and they want the world to believe that they are Noah and the high priest. 

Remember this, Lord, that the enemy has taunted you, And a foolish people has treated your name disrespectfully. (Psalm 74:18)

Unrepentant, proudly malignant and disrespectful

Neither political entity has faced the issues of its seminal character.  Big swords justify everything, and self-defense is the new reason for violence and the violation of international law.  The enemy and the foolish people in Psalm 74:18 are easily identified. Enemies of God are not restricted to Gentiles.  So, is there really an endless taunting of God?  Is that not what is going to happen in the hell of western Christianity?  Maybe you have not listened to or seen the filthy behavior of Jewish settlers towards Palestinians in occupied land in Palestine. They spit in the direction of Palestinians in the roadways, they bully and murder Palestinians for no reason other than their Palestinians. They destroy homes that are legally the property of Palestinians. You do not know?

Knocking off the leaders of their enemies

The world will pretend that the greatest crime is the assassination of Israeli leaders, meanwhile assassinating – murdering – leaders is the brainchild of both the Jewish State and the United States. Both states have significant records of violence against their own leaders. Anyone who stands for peace and coexistence of people in cosmopolitan splendour is a target for muzzling and homicide. 1.2 billion dollars US goes up in smoke as the high drones are lost in the hostilities against Iran. Meanwhile the Israeli and American people languish under poverty, racist realities and the essential flow of funds to the Jewish State. You do not know?

Homicidal, Demoniac, Rapist Greater Israel and America Great Again

“I do not know” is a poor excuse anywhere in the world. Nigerian wisdom and the Haitian experience have been rampant in the United States for decades. Just imagine that the Ibo people are trying to prove that their name is a derivative of the word for Hebrew (ibri) and then tap all the Christians doing their damnedest to replicate the kingdom of Judah and the levitical priesthood.  The Bobbsey twins of international relations could not care less about human life.  One of them is convinced that animal blood can pay for human transgression.  The other looks at the oldest humans on the planet, African people, and is determined to dehumanize them. The people who claim to be exposed to justice’s best face cannot even love their own clans and tribes.

It may be very fine if you keep saying”I don’t know”   because some people are exposed information so they do not know. Very sad!

9. And He said, “Go, and tell this people: ‘Keep on listening, but do not understand; And keep on looking, but do not gain knowledge.’ 10. “Make the hearts of this people insensitive, Their ears dull, And their eyes blind, So that they will not see with their eyes, Hear with their ears, Understand with their hearts, And return and be healed.” (Isaiah 6:9-10)

Can you guess why both the United States and Israel regularly thumb their noses at international law and can you guess why the United States does not support the International Court of Justice?

Beneficent War – LLC19

Tuesday May 19 -WAR

War breaks out often and men compete to end them and keep them going.  Our best experience with good war seems to amount to watching combatants smiling warmly at each other and saying peace never arose. 

Now the dread of the Lord was on all the kingdoms of the lands which were around Judah, so that they did not make war against Jehoshaphat. (2 Chronicles 17:10)

The neighbouring nations did not KEEP WAGING WAR (LXX επολεμουν). The globe

Faith – war – LIGHT; seeing courage in conflict |

Since all the ancient heroes were expected to believe and consequences other than pleasing God (Hebrews 11:6) have fallen on the unfaithful (and if you don’t believe read what happened to Moses in Numbers 20;12).  The judges were examples of faithful persons who died in faith, and their occupation was warmaking. Four judges are named in Hebrews 11:32 to show they died in faith, ae having pleased God. The writer makes a case that time would fail him to name everyone.

Hope – war – LIGHT;  trusting endurance |

That human beings have a built-in hope to be free from violence and war does not need to be documented. Humanity has tried twice to end all wars and some people pretend that they don’t want war but that’s all they do.

Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. (Romans 15:13)

Believers are locked in on believing and abounding in hope.

Love – war – LIGHT; embracing reconciliation |

It should not be strange to us that the New Covenant continues to portray God’s intervention as a war.  I am aware of Christ’s struggle in Gethsemane. We are aware of him doing battle with the Devil and throwing him out of heaven. We have to recognize that for Christ to be called a conqueror he must have been engaged in a struggle, a war.

Death – war – LIGHT; becoming silence after struggle |

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not wage battle according to the flesh, (2 Corinthians 10:3)

One definitive interaction of the Lord on behalf of his people is pictured as a war, Yahweh fighting against the Egyptians.

3. “The Lord is a warrior; The Lord is His name. 4. “Pharaoh’s chariots and his army He has thrown into the sea; And the choicest of his officers are drowned in the Red Sea. (Exodus 15:3-4)

We confess that same thing about Yeshua, with bloodstained garments.

And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and He who sat on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and wages war. (Revelation of John 19:11)

He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. (Revelation of John 19:13)

Monday May 18 – NIGHT

Faith – night – LIGHT; seeing lamp in darkness |

The Life and Light factory is in full operation when we get to the most venerable day of the Moon, 14th of Nisan. But it was not a Monday.  There would be no calculation to bring the day Christ died to be a Monday but it was a day of the Moon being full. We have, seriously, erected no monument to Monday and it’s a good thing.

Hope – night – LIGHT; trusting stars |

When life presents challenges people look for and assistance from the realms that give them advantage.  The insect world demonstrates how their number is a reason for success.  God

‘The Lord your God has multiplied you, and behold, you are this day like the stars of heaven in number. (Deuteronomy 1:10)

When neither sun nor stars are in the sky people lose hope (Acts 27:20) and the moon does not even figure.

Love – night – LIGHT; embracing intimacy |

The rescue of humanity from darkness is a function of love.  It does not arise from God’s law or from the logical need of the lost people.  God’s rescue mission does not come from the presumed desire of humans to be saved.

Death – night – LIGHT; becoming veil of mortality |

Typically people think of God as a bowler who gets only strikes.  This explains the misguided idea that God cannot be a man (John 10:33) or appear as a creature (Genesis 18:1-2) or appear in inanimate objects (Exodus 3:2).  So even in our dark night we are not left to despair. In fact, despair serves to bring people face to face with the probability of light. God makes sure that the spiritually dead person cannot say “What light?” or “I do not know”.  Can the Fire-Rescue worker engage in their work without intimacy with the dangers the victim is experiencing?

Death opening the door to life is scandalous and foolish (1 Corinthians 1:23). The life-and-light cycle is not even controversial.  It is recorded all over the history of humanity and the sacred texts of the Jewish people. Christ’s flesh is a veil that enables the immortal to die.

by a new and living way which He inaugurated for us through the veil, that is, through His flesh, (Hebrews 10:20)

Life obviously rolls to an end and it is only the Messiah of the Bible who affirms a second birth that follows the natural birth.

yet He has now reconciled you in His body of flesh through death, in order to present you before Him holy and blameless and beyond reproach– (Colossians 1:22)

Warm air soon becomes hot

eejoseph,

From a song by yours truly and son…

Snowflakes and flaky people love it where the air is warm

Floating every which way, without collision means no harm

One floats to earth, the other flies

No mind of their own, the thought’s appalling

Riding cloud nine’s hot air, rising and gently falling

People with lots of religious books beside the sacred texts also are known to have a lot more than others to say. These guys are in the warm zone.  Exactly how many of these persons with sacred text and their own books are actually literate does not take a guess.  There ain’t no 39 book collection that satisfies flaky people. Is there a 27 book collection that people find satisfactory?  No! All the people who claim to believe the Bible, the 66 books of the Old and New Testament, are flaky when they insist that there are other books that people need to read.  We ought to know that truth has been in the house ever since Christ built his house.  The circulating air moving secular and sacred texts around is going to warm up, all the way to hot.

No mind of their own?

When we say someone is mindless we are not insulting them.  God made brains for high level and low level operations; so let no one impress you that they have information to which no one else has access.  If you, like me, ever bought that lie, you are in eternal danger.  When membership means asking no questions and just doing as you’re told you are in a cult of death.  “Dying to self”  has become an essential plank in the deluding of souls. You probably believe that you need to deny your DNA, your ancestry, your humanity, your nationality, your individuality and your consequently, all accountability.  What can God demand of you when you deny your personhood?  You have no SELF for God to use, and no uniqueness of person to interact with other humans. You are willing to forget that Christ saved you, which allows you to deny that you are saved.  Consequently,  many find no rest, no peace, and remain juvenile and in bondage.

Kid blowing in the wind

Let us be aware that there are countless screwed up “kids” with access to mass scope implements and vessels. They are called in the net set by false prophets.  In the net are presidents, prime ministers, rabbis, gurus, imams, prophets, apostles, pastors and, yes, juveniles who have not even learned how to eat their daily bread with fingers, spoon, or fork.  The cycle of activity gives the impression of energy and heat, but looks can be deceiving.  Thankfully, God’s ceiling is not a lot of words but genuine love, that is, caring for the others.  Paul’s teaching on the spoiled and fallen brats is not difficult to understand.

Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world: (Galatians 4:3)

How different from the children are the grown-ups?

9. But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? 10. Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years. 11. I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain. (Galatians 4:9-11)

To be saved, people all across the world and in every age need God’s grace to save them.  They await a judgment – a verdict – of grace that forgives and adopts. This is why the moment Christ died graves were opened and the saints from ancient times rose to life. All of the rest, the thousands of words written, amount to a lot of hot air, because the apostolic witness, written and kept safe for us for two millennia is more than enough. You do not have to be a snowflake.

Wake-up time.  LLC17 -LIGHT

Sunday May 17 LIGHT

Faith – day – LIGHT; seeing dawn as resurrection |

The bright lights of human creation are usually multiple lamps or fires.  Their longevity does not match the needs of our feet or our path.  When the tomb is empty faith is seen relieving the women while the men seem to have lost their faith.

Hope – day – LIGHT; trusting illumination |

The arrival of life coincides with the babe of Bethlehem, but it is the death of the Lamb of God that opens the tombs of the sleeping saints.

50. Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. 51. And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; 52. And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, (Mat 27:50-52)

Love – day – LIGHT; embracing warmth |

A lit lamp changes the environment. Before people realize what the light of each day means and before they can make a plan to make use of the light of day there is a subconscious affirmation of the light.

19. Now when it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and when the doors were shut where the disciples were together due to fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst, and said to them, “Peace be to you.” 20. And when He had said this, He showed them both His hands and His side. The disciples then rejoiced when they saw the Lord. (John 20:19-20)

Death – day – LIGHT; becoming dusk’s paradox |

10. It was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with them, which told these things unto the apostles. 11. And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not. (Luke 24:10-11)

Who would have thought that life would stream from a dying man, and from a man condemned to die for crimes brought by religious people?  The darkness of the tomb leaps off the page as a perfect partner to light when Sunday arrives.  Christ was hurriedly buried at dusk and as soon as daylight arrived on Sunday the light was too much to believe.

Change – LLC16

eejoseph

Saturday May 16 CHANGE

Faith – CHANGE-  LIGHT; seeing constancy in transformation |

While it is hard to find people in the Torah exercising faith the search for faith that brings change can be aborted once Israelite resistance to correction surfaces. The light shining in those ancient circumstances exposes and increases the definition of sin.  The transformation is rare and precious.

Hope – CHANGE-  LIGHT; trusting renewal |

The light and life cycle is reliable and people who are soberly aware of who they are know that better can come.  They know that progress satisfies God and humanity.  Hoping to be different is good.  Hoping for better is better.  When we hope for the best we are in the domain of infinite goodness. Hoping does not make anyone godly, godliness is always a transparent confession away.

Love – CHANGE – LIGHT; embracing adaptability |

Concepts like change are hotwired into revelation.  Correction is necessary for everyone. God’s love includes setting the record straight and forgiving human sin.

Death – CHANGE – LIGHT; becoming Sabbath rest

Sabbath, any sabbath,  is and will always be a sign.  The point at which people participate in sabbath, in a perfect scenario, is where they have and use their creative powers for six days. There is no such week in human history.

Food and Warmth – LLC15

eejoseph

Friday May 15 | MOTHER |

Faith – mother – LIGHT; seeing nurture as promise |

Babies have no challenges with believing that the source of food and warmth will always give.  Mother’s milk and the comforting warmth of her body endure to the end.  A mother will always call her son or daughter her “baby”. Sons and daughters know that their mothers will nurture them on demand and without invitation, even when sons and daughters have their own families.

Hope – mother – LIGHT; trusting gestation |

We can easily underestimate the 9 months between conception and childbirth, especially if we are males, and I am sure that the purveyors of ungodliness have drummed up a gestation period for the realm of spiritual life. That spiritual gestation period is bound to be fantasy and nonsense, because the wind, like God’s Spirit, blows where it wishes and its origin, direction, and destination are unknown. So how, on God’s green earth are illiterate people like most Muslims, most Jews, and most Christians (and even those who see themselves as reformers) of the 19th and 20th centuries going to gain the trust of literate people in the 21st century?

Love – mother – LIGHT; embracing care |

Mothers are where God turns on the megalamp.  You name the mother and a little meditation will bring us to the traffic lights of heaven’s priorities. Do not be deceived by the annual fluff on Mother’s Day. Many people have no recurring or ever-increasing memo of their mothers. Even if the mother child relationship goes south the mother has made her mark by embracing the light of caring.

Death – mother – LIGHT; becoming portal to Immortal’s life |

To say that there is a cult of Mary is a moronic giveaway.  Do you think that the companions of Jesus recognized the humanity of Israel’s God without explicit recognition of Mary?  Or do you suppose that the early believers took notice of Jesus’ divinity without explicit recognition of purity?  It has to be said that holiness was housed in a vessel prepared for the purpose.

PREGNANT BY THE HOLY SPIRIT

But when he had thought this over, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife; for the Child who has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. (Mat 1:20)

THE CHILD IS LORD (YAHWEH)

for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. (Luk 2:11)

SALVATION IS VISIBLE AND TANGIBLE

For my eyes have seen Your salvation, (Luk 2:30)

Taking the eyewitnesses’ testimony as absolutely reliable the Word of life delivers food and warmth.  The company of the lady Mary is inevitable.  Through her son’s death Mary becomes the mother – grand and great – of every believer. Some Christians dare not call her mother of God because they have dug a ditch and can’t get out of it

May 14 | Thu | VOX DEI |

Faith – VOX DEI – LIGHT; seeing divine word |

God’s voice can be soft or loud.  Its volume is not commensurate with his immensity.  He can shout and the ant hears, is not injured, and says “Amen”. God designed people with the capacity to see his word.

By faith we understand that the world has been created by the word of God so that what is seen has not been made out of things that are visible. (Heb 11:3)

Hope – VOX DEI – LIGHT; trusting utterance |

Having a strong attachment to imminent change does not necessarily yield the desired fruit. The wicked and the strong have hopes but their expectations fizzle

When a wicked person dies, his expectation will perish, And the hope of strong people perishes. (Pro 11:7)

The news cycle seems to point to worsening conditions and no relief on the horizon.  God predicted this very scenario, but the people who are suffering see light flooding into their tunnels.

For the needy will not always be forgotten, Nor the hope of the afflicted perish forever. (Psa 9:18)

Love – VOX DEI – LIGHT; embracing echo |

Once a person hears God’s word he is unlikely to unhear it.  God’s word carries life to the dead.  If we follow the oldest revelation of the  voice of God we see too that it brings light where there is darkness.  The dramatic nature of the encounter with God’s voice ensures that people keep hearing it and this repeat – the echoing of the voice in people’s minds – is one way the listener keeps his joy full.

Death – VOX DEI – LIGHT; becoming final word |

You must have been to a meeting where you could not wait for the end to come, so that when the vote for adjournment arises you finally breathe a sigh of relief. An adjournment vote cannot be discussed.  The last word has a unique profile. What Christ, on the cross, said had come to an end was final, and needed no spin. The cross is final and fully effective.  What he came to do was accomplished.
