The only way to truly move absolutely “silently” through ones space so as to go completely unnoticed is to do so in blindness. So much so that if and when you do come into contact with an item your only indication would be the nuclear radiation emitted from its substance according to it’s respective Half-Life. (Feel it)
If my ears were any more sensitive, I could even hear said radiation instead of just feeling it.
I wrote this a long time ago, under inspiration and it was left in draft rather than publish. It is vague at best and rather pointless. I’m not really sure what it means it is pointing to. The symbolism is very deep, muddy water. Maybe it’s of some use or enlightenment to someone, now or in the future. The title isn’t a mis-que. Four instead of for is the only thing I really understand the point of. It’s pointing to the four corners of the earth.
Here it is…
They know that all the blank spaces in your genes aren’t called ‘deserts’ because there’s nothing there.
Just like they know that the deserts of this reality hold infinitely dense and complex lines of questioning.
Mainly…why do they exist?
Or rather, what, if rearranged back to pangea days could they shape up to be? Or have been…if the pieces weren’t all souped, mixed, minced, pounded, folded, froze, bashed, dashed, tossed, ground and rolled into a gratuitously beautiful mash parade of elements. Then drained, dried, parched, scorched, beaten, blasted, pounded, trampled and reformed into a tropical resort where the only worry is the absence of cool, clean, fresh, pure = water. Hmmmm, care for a swim… Dive in.
Huh?
Interesting. Maybe there was some ancient event that wiped our planet and our genes. Oh, but to just find an original copy of the code that utilized all that amazing potential locked in our genes.
I wonder…What would be the chances of finding a more complete structure?
Ok, I really mean that we get up and all look around expectantly for heroes… and we find them. But not in the ways we imagine. Our expectation out of the gate, is to see these laws that hold us broken.
It’s in everyone.
The reality is much less noble and valiant.
We are, at best, an army of ants, working as a unit usually in some patch or fever of activity towards an agenda.
Whose agenda do you work toward?
The Insanity of Sin by Paul Tripp – Sin
“No, you will live for you, and whether you know it or not, everyday will be a hot personal pursuit of your private definition of pleasure. You will have you at the center of your will. You will be your own king, seeking the control over people and circumstances that is necessary to ensure that you will, in fact, get the things that you have set your heart on.”

-The Desire of Ages -E. G. White
After preaching about God’s abiding presence amid life’s adversities, a pastor was confronted by a woman who tearfully asked: “Pastor, where was God on the day when my only son died?” Reading a deep sorrow on her face the pastor was silent for a moment and then replied: “God was in the same place where He was on the day His only Son died to save us from the eternal death.”
A Perplexed Prophet
Habakkuk is unique among prophets because he does not speak for God to the people but rather he speaks to God about the people. The prophet begins his struggle to understand God’s purposes with a cry of bewilderment: “How long, O Lord?” In the Bible, this question is typical of a lament (Ps. 13:1, Jer. 12:4). It implies a situation of crisis from which the speaker seeks deliverance.
The crisis about which Habakkuk calls for help is the violence that permeated his society. The original Hebrew word for “violence” is hamas, and it is used six times in Habakkuk’s book. The term implies acts of injury, both physical and moral, inflicted on others (Gen. 6:11).
Being a prophet, Habakkuk knows well how much God loves justice and hates oppression; so, he wants to know why God allows injustice to continue. All around he notices violence and law- breaking, and it seems that the wicked triumph over the righteous. Justice is being perverted by the powerful as it was in the time of Amos (Amos 2:6–8) and as it so often is today.
God’s answer reveals His future plans. The Lord will use the army of Babylon to punish the people. This announcement surprises the prophet. He did not anticipate that God would use such a ruthless army to discipline Judah. In verse 8 the Babylonian cavalry are compared to a leopard, wolf, and eagle—three predators whose speed and power bring violent death to their prey.
Babylon’s ruthless arrogance acknowledges no accountability, seeks no repentance, offers no reparations. It violates the most fundamental order of created life. God had said that Babylon’s army will be used as a “rod of My [God’s] anger” (Isa. 10:5, NKJV). The punishment will take place during Habakkuk’s lifetime (Hab. 1:5). This whole situation raises even more difficult questions about divine justice.
How can we learn to trust in God’s goodness and justice when the world seems so full of evil and injustice? What is our only recourse?
Living by Faith
In Habakkuk 1:12–17, God’s answer to Habakkuk’s questions poses an even more vexing question: can a righteous God use the wicked to punish those who are more righteous than they? Habakkuk’s question in verse 17 has to do with divine justice.
Habakkuk was puzzled, not only by the degeneration of his own people but also by the certainty that his country would be judged by another nation, one worse than his own. The prophet was well aware of Judah’s sins, but by any standards, his people, particularly the righteous among them, were not as wicked as the pagan Babylonians.
You can’t run from your calling. All are called to serve the King of kings. Only you know, in your heart what the still small voice of the Lord has called you for. Few will serve, in life, with selflessness. And their reward and position on his kingdom will be great.
Most will serve at the judgment in death. As an example of the reward of seeing and setting yourself up as a Lord, ruler and extortionist for their own glory and comfort they will be mercifully exterminated. Small is their rewards in life and quickly forgotten is their glory.
And the remainder will be left as reward of their captors to serve them and make known the character of God and Jesus to those Lucifer as set up as king and given earthly reward for doing his will of sin.
Such is and was history. It should be a warning.
My study this morning brings light and universal truth to the human experience of emotions and the pattern of selfishness we are born into, even with any reason to believe, many continue to deny God;
His rules and precepts – many many times over regarded as superstition, not even confirmation from science convinces us that God is all knowing and wants the best for us and that his law is the way to happiness.
His existence and history – all the historical evidence that supports his unfailing word and love is there to analyze and realize. But so many can’t look for think of or mention God; it would “ruin” their “lives”.
His love – God loves, so he created. He gave and gave and gave and continues to give. But we would like to think we created ourselves and anything good in this world too. Setting our minds up for the very same sin that onset sin. “I am a God, and even better than anyone, if I supply myself enough power I will one day rule all.”
His enemy – “There’s no boogie man”. Even with fighting, hatred, suffering and pain abounding, the result of selfishness and denial of the law, everywhere we look but yet not studying to find out the source.
Why do we deny him?
Nineveh was historically one of the three great cities of Assyria, an important country situated by the Tigris River. Because God is the Lord of all nations and all peoples are accountable to Him (Amos 1–2), He sent His servant Jonah to warn the Ninevites of impending destruction. God’s command recorded in Jonah 1:2 to “preach against it” (NIV) also can be translated as “preach to it.”
Assyrian cruelty was notorious. About a century later, the prophet Nahum called Nineveh a “bloody city . . . full of lies and robbery” (Nah. 3:1). Jonah was sent to deliver God’s message to such people. Perhaps it was fear of the hated Assyrians, among other things, that prompted Jonah’s attitude. When told by God to make a trip east to Nineveh, the prophet refused and tried to flee west by ship to Tarshish.
At first, all things appeared to work well for Jonah, but then the Lord sent a great storm against the ship in order to teach His servant the lesson that no one can hide from God.
Jonah ran from God because he did not want to do God’s will. Even now people have many reasons to try to run away from God. Some do it because they do not know Him personally. Others reject even the idea of God and His Word; while their motives vary, in many cases they do so in order to not feel guilty about the way in which they live. After all, if there is no higher power to answer to, why not do whatever you want? There are even some Christians who avoid God when He calls them to do something that they do not want to do, something that goes against their inherently selfish and sinful nature.
God called Jonah out of a life of preaching to the choir, doctoring the nurses, so to speak. He needed him to minister to a people who were wicked but knew nothing better. Such is our world. The enemy continually works to obscure God and put ourselves highest in the order of life. So many are misled by lies, most of them come from denominational Christianity. So plentiful are the mis-truths and so disparate are the people in their beliefs and actions that it would be easy to dismiss God as a fool or just call it all superstition and the people idiots.
So, now this;
Hell is real; it is life on this earth for those that serve Jehovah and Christ. Not some God setup afterlife eternal torture chamber.
For those who would argue. You are being pacified by the devil into a “heavenly” existence here. You say no? I can prove it to you. Should you ever acknowledge God and worship him you’ll eventually be targeted by the devil his anger will boil against you. Your betrayal of him by worshipping and praying to Jesus will reveal the battle and struggle of good and evil to you.
