This All Important Contrast

    It seemed like the Spirit said ‘I want you to write something with that title. So here I am. (Alternate title? The Wolf Pack.)

     I’d been praying ‘please Father fill us all with your Spirit of peace and supreme happiness.. filled up and overflowing.. and also with sorrow, sorrow for all the sorrows that are in this all important (sorry) contrast.

     A so sad contrast. But! Just how do you create genuinely able to think and reason beings, and, keep paradise/perfection intact? In ‘the end’ not only will we see the “lion eating straw like the ox” and “the bear grazing with the cow - their young pasturing together” (Is.11:7) but there will also be “twelve manner of fruit, each one for its month” and “the waters of life flowing as clear as crystal” (Rev.22:2). Yet, also in that chapter, Revelation 22, the last chapter of the bible, there’s narrative that’s outside of the vision. Like if there’s a narrator’s voice narrating during the rolling credits of a movie. “Don’t seal up the words of the prophecy of this scroll, because the time is near. (And, word for word) - the doing wrong [adikeó - wicked] yet [eti - yet, still, of degree, even, further, more, in addition to] and the foul, foul yet more [eti]. And the just [dikaios - correct, righteous, by implication innocent (declared innocent through “Christ Crucified”)] make/do/act just, yet/still/more. And the holy, [hagiazó] to make holy, consecrate, sanctify, still yet more.(🤔)

     Sounds like two harvests. Rev.14:14-20 (do you think verse 20 could be oil? A line from a John Prine song made me think of that.)

     I don’t know about anyone else, but more and more, I’m thinking, yes, God sends vengence/retribution down upon the heads of some really (really) bad actors of the last hour(s). But he does it by natural means? Cause and effect. “May their deeds fall upon their own head” Obadiah 1:16(?) Keep patience and endurance “while a pit is being dug for the wicked” Psalms(?) “They will fall into the pit that they have dug.”Also Psalms? Lake of fire as prophecy, as earthly event. Because God’s wrath (“orges?” “passion, smoke out the nose”) is cause and effect. And honor among thieves only lasts so long, after all.. Give ‘em enough rope and all that. The all important contrast can’t help but turn out like a wolf pack.. but just like ‘Romulus slew Remus’ (Roman myth) it’s the wolf pack, dog eat dog. All these centuries and millennia the adversary has been building a concrete matrix (with in last hours?) everything else off limits? And all through time he’s strived for empire.. world domination, containment. The strong survive/rule. It’s survival of the fittest. The alpha wolves howling at the (their) moon. Surely they own the moon too?

     Great White Throne (GWT) ‘day’ surely(?) will be a ‘day’ of an in depth review of all history? Of thorough investigations into this terrible but all important contrast. Can you imagine God missing the chance to really drive home all of his message? The iron rod (measure) truth. It cannot be broken. Straying can only ever result in an abyss of happenings, and death. Anything, ever, that is built upon the sands of untruth, it doesn’t matter how huge and impressive, it will fall. Pax Romana cannot endure. In prophet Daniel’s visions he saw the changing beast of false light, throughout Earth’s historical ages.. The many headed geopolitical empire building force. The later ones with their iron and bronze, aka, roman and greek. Literally (lol) he saw the Rev.13:1-10 beast as having iron teeth (Roman columns?) and bronze claws that tear up what the iron doesn’t subdue (Dn.7,7,19 and 2:26-45). Greek drama, Greek statues (idols).. All the propaganda.

     Then there’s the good forces. That manage to beat it all back. Delay things.. God will let it run as long as it takes? So that all that can be born, will be born? Why not? And of course it’s the proof. The sealing up. The writing of His law upon every heart, mind and psyche. I mean we (“all in heaven and earth” angelos and anthropos) are not exactly stupid! Maybe sheep half dumb and blind until God Himself removes the wool from our eyes —Rev.7:1-3,9,4 — Mt.13:30/Rev.16:13-16.
