The door to an abysmal day

eejoseph
The denial of brokenness is perennial

Netting mostly unreliable wisdom seems to occupy people who also repeatedly provide the evidence that they are immature and foolish.  The most detailed and accurate prophecy comes from a man whose book the Jewish people remove from the collection of the prophets’ writings.  Daniel was a broken man, not a vigilante, not of Israel’s priestly clan, and not a militant patriot.  He served the king of Babylon as Yahweh ordered.

Solomon has no followers, broken or whole

By Mosaic standards the third king of Israel was an abysmal failure, even an embarrassment to the ultra righteous Pharisees.  Still, the wisest of men has few detractors and, for a broken vessel, David’s son’s great works have no equal in the business that occupied his young mind.

Far be it from me to be what is decreed

  • Hungry needing bread
  • Sinful needing forgiveness
  • Hurt and offering forgiveness
  • Sick and need a physician
  • Putting righteousness first and not seeking all this life gives

Who might God have used to carry the Message of the Serpent’s Crushed Head If not broken people?  Does it seem negligible that the Israel who succeeded Jacob was profoundly deceived for about two decades of his life? 

Everyone is broken, practically all the time, yet the crowd insists on a victorious life marked by healing and miraculous reversals. What grace is outshone by law?  Is there a God who leaves sinners in charge of their rescue from the powers of darkness?  I suppose the victories of the proof, exorcists and wonder workers blind them to the brokenness of the saints who are most happy and witnesses to great things.  So what brokenness are people accepting these days when forgiveness is not a one-way street?

Evangelical media soiled and bewitched

eejoseph,

The  critical mass of preaching in the United States seems to be the product of sleight of hand and cunning.  Sometimes I have wondered if they actually do have access to the same texts as their teachers and professors.  What is now clear is that they have looked the other way while their political leaders maliciously manipulate everything to benefit white people.  This is America’s innate treachery.  Innate because the founding fathers included racists who had the sense that all men were created equal.  The fact that some of them were virulent racists have given many Americans the green light to persist in discrimination against non-Caucasian people.  Evangelicals are so corrupt that they now brazenly oppose the spark of the Messianic Mission.

You cannot be Christ’s and oppose migration

The move Abraham undertook from Mesopotamia to Canaan provided the framework and platform for all the higher points in global development, the most critical being God’s relationship with Israelite and Judahite kings, a host of prophets, the judges of the early period in Canaan, the patriarchs, Judah, Joseph, Jacob, Isaac and Abraham.  The experiences of these luminaries seem like extinguishing lamp wicks when the acclaimed hero – the root and offspring of David – rises to brighten the drama. God’s praise in Jerusalem is recognition of salvation for all families on the planet.  Ditching migration a la MAGA cult is the incontinent’s bowel movement without a diaper

The darkness of Christian, Jewish and Islamic hate is out in the open

But the one who hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going because the darkness has blinded his eyes. (1 John 2:11)

Evangelicals are now in bed with Catholics.  Who does that beside the most desperate and undisciplined? They have lied  so often about Yeshua, about Moses, and they absolutely hate Mohammed, that breaking the spell they are under now appears next to impossible.  All the networks that are recognized as Christian are like Fox news, majoring in and trafficking in White racist, slave economy and quasi-spiritual spin.

MESSAGE TO THE INCONTINENTS

Don your diaper and change your diet.  Spin less, lest dizziness kills you

Keeping the great white north safe without justice

eejoseph, ,

Church and State conspired to erase Aboriginal culture in Canada.  This is fact, not fiction, not spin, not rhetoric.  If you believe that the well-equipped police forces across Canada have no record of hundreds of missing children and women then you might need to have informed and courageous people on the city streets across Canada to keep you safe from the police and the hypocritical institutions of government and religion.  What is the price that people have to pay to be safe and exercise their charter rights?  I cannot wrap my mind around Canadian waffling at the United Nations on the massacre of Palestinians by Israel, and the repeated cracking down on and the demonizing of pro-Palestinian protest in Canada are sickening, no matter what noble sentiments come from the mildly incensed pundits and security experts.  A violent and racist Israel, the tyrannical Arab and Islamic states have nothing to tell Canadians about their commitment to the rights in the Canadian Charter.  All of you who want to live in a state where the state puts up walls between men and women, where the state rips up international law because it does not fit your tribal view of the world, are paving the way to untold misery and irreversible judgment.

Due diligence and “never again”

Massacres in Gaza and Lebanon will not erase the failure of Israeli security.  Seizing on the horrific murder and kidnapping of Israeli citizens by Hamas the Israeli government has launched a vicious annihilation campaign. The law demands a two-state solution but progress towards that is on and off like night and day.  For a people who have been face to face with God Israeli darkness is too thick to prevent accidents and negligence. Just think for a moment about the effect on an informed Christian who hears of an attempt to bring to nothing a sector of society seen as a mortal threat. To whom does “never again” apply?

GAFF and a host of bad actors

Grief, anger, fear and folly are common bedfellows.   Each is common on its own, and when they come together they bring humanity to the brink of the pit.  Keeping anyone safe involves transparent accountability for undertakings like security, retaliation and rebuilding.  Neither Israel nor the Hamas cowards who murder innocent people are capable of caring like mothers and fathers do.  Forgive me for thinking that politicians need to care for the people in their care like they are members of one family.  Canadians are not so naive as to bow down to complicity with Israeli lies about innocent lives.  The International Criminal Court knows that vigilante violence is a prominent tool in the Israeli policy of militarizing the Occupied Territories, and therefore the fear of endless war and discrimination that haunts Israeli and Palestinian families will not be pushed to the side.  Canadians should watch carefully the actions of their governments and make it abundantly clear that protest will never cease to be the means of shining a light on bad actors like – who came first? – Hamas, Arab and Islamic  hate for Israel.  The gaff Lord Balfour and the British government are guilty of forcing on the Levant is still a bad smell and none of the typical human solutions is capable of keeping Israelis and Palestinians safe.

Israel’s four minute mistake

eejoseph, , , ,

April 5 2024

The Israel Defense Force is not blind, neither in the day nor in the night.  It was inevitable that the IDF would be caught killing innocents.  That has been the hallmark of the occupation and it has taken the international community all this time from 1948 to call Israel to account for its illegal behaviour.  Let’s face the facts.  The self defence shelter that Israel and its supporters cling to is as flimsy as the one Israeli life for thousands of Palestinians exchange rate.  The veto protection from the United States may soon be gone forever and mistakenly targeting aid workers for terrorists should be investigated by independent agents.

One American pinky flick

Zionism, settler spiele, miniscule political parties, the exclusive right to self-determination, and a tyrannical Prime Minister are all caught in the avalanche of failure.  Iran does not need to huff or puff.  All the angry evicted Palestinians need not twitch a toe.  One flick of the American pinky and Israel’s cherished sanctuary vanishes.  It is highly unlikely that Israel does not descend into an abyss of domestic terrorism and the most complicated and chaotic insurgency the world has ever seen.  Israel’s denial of the facts – simultaneous attack on an aid convoy with its vehicles 2.5 km apart – is sufficient for the US, but Israeli paranoia and impunity have become standard.  What is four minutes of terror against aid workers when compared to 75 years of brutal British-sponsored occupation?

What better place for Felonious I to die than in Gaza

eejoseph

It is in Gaza that we find horrific images of starvation, disease, ethnic cleansing, exploitation and cyclical deportation.  It was in Gaza that a great judge of ancient Israel committed suicide, killing at the same time more men than he had killed all his life.  Samson died in Gaza. The commander in chief of the United States dared to say in public that the United States might consider taking over the government in Gaza and arrange for the deportation of Gazans to Arab countries.  It would be fitting for the appearance of justice that the most powerful individual (and currently the most unfit for public leadership) would get his knickers in an unrelenting knit alongside the blasphemous chief of Likud and the clans of criminal settlers.

Snickers and shudders

“Let him go up” was the call when the Hebrew Bible wound down, and “Let him go up” was the policy initiative of the Persian ruler when he discovered the history of the Jewish people.

Thus says Cyrus king of Persia, ‘The Lord, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth, and He has appointed me to build Him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whoever there is among you of all His people, may the Lord his God be with him, and let him go up!’ (2 Chronicles 36:23)

1. Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, in order to fulfill the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah, the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, so that he sent a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and also put it in writing, saying: 2. Thus says Cyrus king of Persia, ‘The Lord, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth and He has appointed me to build Him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. (Ezra 1:1-2) ‘Whoever there is among you of all His people, may his God be with him! Let him go up to Jerusalem which is in Judah and rebuild the house of the Lord, the God of Israel; He is the God who is in Jerusalem. (Ezra 1:3)

Will take over = foreign war

Let no one imagine that there is a historical framework for the racist and colonialist orders by the United states, or for the military solutions put forward by hateful Jewish leaders in Israel.   People we deem to be informed would laugh then shudder at the prospect that the supposed leader of the advancing world would embrace such a recessive idea.  He, naturally, has some delusion of financial gains for himself, his family and the super rich.  Leaders who disregard the interests of the poor and the oppressed.  We laugh because it is preposterous. We love because it is a divine response to the folly of Earth’s rulers to put distance between themselves and anointed leadership.  It is not true that no one knows what Christ on a throne on Earth might look like.  Solomon was a successful and just king.  The justice of liberation from colonialism is not without witness.  African leaders of the 20th century made straight paths for their feet, chief among them His Imperial Majesty, Haile Selassie I. Like Mussolini, all wannabe emperors and strongmen can find a den in which to die in the lands they have

“Obliterate” sounds like “annihilate”, like “decimate”, and the Israeli attempt to end Hamas is a dull echo of other specific attempts at genocide.  Movements do not die without deaths without and without.

Trump, triumphalism and treachery tanking

eejoseph, , ,

He who thinks of nothing but personal victories is conquered by vice of greed.  Solomon told us.   Early Israel was allowed to loot and pillage the Canaanites to accomplish God’s justice on them. Apparently their time had run out and God was interested in replacing the amorites with Abraham’s descendants, recently released from Egyptian bondage. The next time that Israelites were allowed to plunder their neighbors was in the Babylonian exile when the Persian king, discovering a plot to murder a Jew, allowed the Jewish people to plunder and pillage the Persian people. There is hardly a better icon of triumphalism and treachery than the Jewish pride that accompanied the rebuilding of Jerusalem and the province of Judea under Ezra and Nehemiah. One must conclude that the American criminal enterprise that has taken over the White House and the Republican Party represents a kind of treachery that has no outlet for forgiveness.  The puppets who are imprisoned in the cult of MAGA and the host of Evangelical and Catholic activists will never recognize the uselessness of their senseless prank, holding up Mammon as proof of divine favour.

To this day both the Jewish people and the Persians have not embraced the veracity of God putting the two peoples together with episodes of thrilling transparency and double-edged justice.  Israel, we assume, from the imaginary history invoked by Israelites from time to time, cannot seem capable of saying “the Lord made the Persians our caretakers”.  Out of this colonial relationship came the magnanimous venture of the return from exile.

LET HIM GO UP. 

“Thus says Cyrus king of Persia, ‘The Lord, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth, and He has appointed me to build Him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whoever there is among you of all His people, may the Lord his God be with him, and let him go up!’” (2 Chronicles 36:23)

LET HIM GO UP.  

‘Whoever there is among you of all His people, may his God be with him! Let him go up to Jerusalem which is in Judah and rebuild the house of the Lord, the God of Israel; He is the God who is in Jerusalem. (Ezra 1:3)

Organized and authorized looting in Persia

LETTERS SENT BY COURIERS 

In them the king granted the Jews who were in each and every city the right to assemble and to defend their lives, to destroy, to kill and to annihilate the entire army of any people or province which might attack them, including children and women, and to plunder their spoil, (Esther 8:11)

Time runs out for everyone

Babylon the great had almost 100years.  Persia had 200+ years.  Greece had nearly 509 years.  Why had Rome been the implicit power for 2 millennia?  Because this time when time runs out the cycles of human dominance will end catastrophically.  After Rome lost its grip on the levers of power the world has been subject to something akin to international piracy.  The enterprises of Portugal, Spain, England, Holland, Germany and the United States are all proven failures.  Do you still wonder why they are all reaching for past greatness.  They are all bankrupt of ideas beyond the exploitation of the vulnerable.

Even the Church of Jesus Christ has been infected by this tremble bug, that says people have to crush others to be successful, they have to enslave others to feel empowered.  If God does not relieve you of your discomfort and disease he is still God.    If God does not spur your  business into bigger barns is he still not God?  If we keep facing famine,/hunger, violent discrimination, poverty, distress and persecution we still overwhelmingly conquer.

Migration sinks boats

eejoseph, , ,

Migration is one of humanity’s earliest developmental and survival moves.  Sometimes it has been the best move of all. I do not know exactly what triggered the first migration but one thing is clear.  The whole human race is no longer sunburnt as the first Africans were.  What brings us to disaster – boat sinking – is the racism that is popular today in the 21st century.  Racism and patriotism has fuelled many migrant moves.  The most fascinating and momentous migration of all is Abram’s from Mesopotamia, and I would not be surprised if there are cultures with a similar explanation of its genesis.  Migration is sinking the boats of Israel, the Unites States, Canada, and all those states that depend on migrant workers without showing them a shred of natural affection

From the fascinating and momentous to the enigmatic

Did the Jewish people have to preserve their stories of migration, with the narratives of miraculous and military conquest and puzzling episodes of genocidal criminality? I do not know why anyone would want to be truth tellers to this extent. Kicking people out of their land is a serious breach of international morality, but the migration of the Israelites from Egypt is a curosity from start to finish. So why should the events at the destination not be also enigmatic? A pattern accompanies all the ancient cultures of migration that synchronizes with the annual seasons, and the disruption of annual migration in Asia and North America by immigrants is the latest international crime for which we are pretending we have no solution. The United States and a few other conscientious rogue states would never accept the ruling of the inernational bodies who have a vested interest in keep track of and helping to adjudicate the movements of people.

Gentile, Jew, us, them

Moses made a number of legislative paths for migrants and strangers. Here are a few.  Do you know them?

GAYR, (like SHARE) the foreigner, masculine noun.

  1. Leavened food regulation affecting the foreigner: For seven days no leaven is to be found in your houses. If anyone eats what is leavened, that person will be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he is a sojourner or a native of the land. Exod 12:19
  2. Passover regulation affecting the foreigner: And the LORD said unto Moses and Aaron, This [is] the ordinance of the passover: There shall no stranger eat thereof: Exod 12:43
  3. A circumcision regulation admitting the stranger to the seder: If a stranger shall sojourn with you and would keep the Passover to the LORD, let all his males be circumcised. Then he may come near and keep it; he shall be as a native of the land. But no uncircumcised person shall eat of it. Exod 12:48
  4. Sabbath observance imposed on the stranger: Six days thou shalt do thy work, and on the seventh day thou shalt rest: that thine ox and thine ass may rest, and the son of thy handmaid, and the stranger, may be refreshed. Exod 23:12
  5. The stranger shielded from oppressve treatment by Israelites: “You shall not oppress a sojourner. You know the heart of a sojourner, for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt. Exod 23:9
  6. Foreigners forbidden to eat the roasted flesh uased for atoning sacrifices: They shall eat those things with which atonement was made at their ordination and consecration, but an outsider shall not eat of them, because they are holy. Exod 29:33
  7. Respect the fact that blood carries life.  “Therefore I said to the sons of Israel, ‘No person among you may eat blood, nor may any alien who sojourns among you eat blood.’ (Leviticus 17:12)
  8. Giving/selling unclean meat to the alien/foreigner. “You shall not eat anything which dies of itself. You may give it to the alien who is in your town, so that he may eat it, or you may sell it to a foreigner, for you are a holy people to the Lord your God. You shall not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk. (Deuteronomy 14:21)

What justification can there be for the criminal and unjust behaviour of governments today who think nothing of deporting people based on ethnicity? For those who look the other way when governments and religious zealots say Palestine is nothing and Palestinians are not a people there is a destiny Christ described as outer darkness.

There’d be no America or Canada to threaten Turtle Island without Immigration

Blanket emigration would be a Solomonic judgment in the case of racist Europeans wanting to overthrow God.  America and Israel have never practically renounced the dehumanization of Africans. Let us be straight about White Anglo Saxon Protestantism and its responsibility for the continuing morass of colonial capitalism.  Sure enough First Nations waged wars and corruption damaged progress,  but never let it be said that a slave economy brought them to civil war or self-denial.

Let it be: let the great again boats sink

Neither Russia, China, or America are the light of the world.  Not one of them is the salt of the earth.  So let Felonious I and his cult talk incessantly about deporting residents as if the American continent belongs to the descendants of Europeans. There is no common sense to racist patriotism and colonial thievery. The madness of the MAGA cult is spectacular, because they have control of the media. They can swamp the airwave and the public square with junk and numbing nonsense.  The First Nations of the world though would have the vast majority of intelligent people on their side. They would also have the most powerful nations on their side if they said “Let’s deport the descendants of the pilgrim fathers”. Migration helps to expose the immorality of the United States’ latest attempt to assert the influence it has lost and will never recover.
