Imagine 32 years of Messiah’s life

To what end do you say “Holy name”?
Was it to say shiny things about GOD? Was it to eulogize Him? Was it to engage in trusting behaviours?
Darkness Descends
There is only one way for fables and xenophobia: down. What followers of God use the law to breathe out cruelty to immigrants and embrace the rights of the unborn or claim to have law as the foundation of civic life when lies are only things one tells the Federal Bureau of Investigation?
When the truth is really a PERSON the idolatry lanes disappear. Even when the written message is not involved darkness takes over. Fables about gold and silver and corruptible things will never drown out the light of God’s Lamb.
The outcome is the same whether one turns away from the message in the works of God’s hands or turns away from the Anointed.
Darkness has descended and all kinds of perversion have followed.
Insurrection Reality TV
Let’s hope that there are officers in the Pentagon who will say “No sir, I will not rob the people of their right to oppose corruption in high places”.
POTUS soiling again.
Drums of war against immigrants
Now that the lawyers are all going mad on radio and television defending fascism and covering up their elephantine xenophobia instead of going to town at the table to make good laws I think I hear the bell of totalitarian exile coming. Who is to blame for turning a blind eye to America’s kaleidoscope? Government or people?
Cursed Among the Bad Guys
Dispersal among the goim – foreign nations – was how God tried to sober up the Jewish people. Heathen/Gentile nations were the bad guys who saw the cheapening of God’s name.
Isaiah 52:5
“Now therefore, what do I do here,” says the Lord, “seeing that my people are taken away for nothing? Those who rule over them mock,” says the Lord, “and my name continually all the day is blasphemed.
The heathen – nations – are people whose practices are to be avoided by Israel and Judah. Essentially, the goim are uncircumcised people, people who are not descendants of Abraham.
Judah was a curse … (who cursed her?)? Israel was a curse … (who cursed her?)?
And it shall come to pass, that as ye were a curse among the heathen, O house of Judah, and house of Israel; so will I save you, and ye shall be a blessing: fear not, but let your hands be strong.
Zechariah 8:13
It is time to revisit that fable about bring permanently, perpetually and irreversibly blessed.
Well-meaning hash
One person may read the following comment – intended to exhort – and get all excited. Another reads it and sees it for what it contains. That should not be strange, should it?
When we accomplish anything good, whether temporal or spiritual, we must bear in mind it is Christ who gives us the strength to do it. Therefore we have to give Him thanks and praise, because there is no strength within us. If we want to be better Christians, we can through Christ. Let’s look unto Christ, sinless is He.
The exhortation also features a Bible verse (one often twisted)
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me (2 and 2)
Philippians 4:13
In the exhortation first person (I we us) appears 8 times, third person (him) appears 5 times. In the Bible verse the score is 2 and 2.
How does this exhortation make Christ the significant one?
Word to the mighty hollows: step down
In black and white: criminal corruption and lawyer leadership is destroying nations.
Joel 3:15
The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining.
Guess who ought to be best at making deals and negotiating life’s conflicts: Black preachers; but not in the quasi-revolution of presidential loyalty.
Life is Fun, But Not a Joke
