thots from study blog on facebook
uhoh quotation marks as question marks, lol..
Camping in the mountain foothills one day, we were sitting around a campfire. The sky above us was vast. I looked up and saw stars that suggested an arrow, and heard a thought which said ?many arrows to come.? 🏹
I?ve since found, forty two years later, that they are all the same arrow.
Each one of us, even if currently estranged or separated from one another, is part of a large family. Not only those precious ones around us and in life now, but those who came before us, and those who come after us. It?s a circle around us.. a spiral. So many things grow in the fibonacci spiral.. why not the vast human family?
There?s no escape. We?re all going to the same glorious ?place?..
He is Life, all of it.
He is Love, all of it.
He is intelligence, all of it.
He calls, wakes up.. seals the heart.. and is sealing the minds..
God has expressed the truth of life over and over.. He hides truth over and over in plain sight. From a walking into the temple court and the first thing we see is the bonfire/altar of sacrifice.. All a collective story experienced individually.. Then the first room with incense.. bread.. candles.. called the holy place, the sealing of the heart.. ?abba father!? (My Father!) And ?Jesus is Lord?.
Then the holy of holiest, which Paul wrote was the Father?s very presence. It was entered once a year on Day of Atonement, by the high priest representing Jesus, the ?first born?. First is the greek word proto. He?s the prototype, the crown of what God is creating, the straight out from God one. Is that the end (greek end-aim) of the Day of Atonement story? The heavy curtain barring the way to the holy of holies was torn in two at the death of Jesus via an earthquake. Even there not a complete end, for surely(?) it?s also the second half of an 8th millennium -> Rev.20:5,7-13
Verse 14 is that blazing fire displayed in creation?s Autumn leaves..
What begins as a Springtime of a fruit filled Eden, becomes a fiery conflagration and confusion.. resulting in a scorched earth, scorched garden of life.. the smoke of it shall rise forever.. in every memory, heart and mind. ..Chew on this, every mention of ?lake of fire? is at huge fiery events.. the last and largest being this verse 14, which is surely(?) at the fiery ReGenesis of Rev.21!
Don?t you see? Both the outside-of-the vision narrative of Rev.22, and the setting of the ?Rich Man and Lazarus? parable describe INITIAL conditions for SOME, upon that 2nd half of the ?Last Great Day? an ?8th? day/millennium. Don?t you think the hitlers of the world should experience some gnashing of teeth, outer darkness and weeping (?aionion? for a time)? Which because Jesus ?will draw all? shall become gut wrenching remorse.. [The root word of logic is logos.] Every one of us.. a little gut wrenching remorse somewhere along the line.. If not only about the dark streets and coming scorched Earth.. I.e. our collective ?wrong way? which causes suffering (and death) hAs to be cast into the sacrificial fiRe.. Because God is Life and ?is perfect?.
Imperfect, even a speck, is a deadly disease and an abyss of potential. It can never work, being the opposite of life. Pluck the leaf from the tree, what happens to it? The heat and fire of decomposition consumes it.
But, bottom line, there?s this. End of story (end-aim). ?Perfect? cannot lose anything. ?Perfect? means the absolute best end result and end-aim possible. ?Perfect? means we can Trust God our Father, we can trust Life, and there is EVERY reason for uninterrupted peace and joy. ..Peace is the fountain of joy.. The fountain of youth and Life.
There is no escape, Isaiah 45:23 - ?I have sworn by my own name? - there?s nothing higher to swear by than His own self and name - ?I have spoken the truth, and it will never be revoked: Every knee will bend to me, and every tongue will declare allegiance.? I daresay quite happily, for happiness is God.
Have a Good Day!
To God you are
a precious gem.
