Is it coming to terms with the corrupt political establishment?
Is it people realizing evil people have been taking over the world?
Is it US citizens realizing that the US government does not control our rights, as much as they are trying to?
Or some other rhetorical questions?
I'd like to float a couple ideas for discussion - keep things simple - concerning the brilliance of our founding fathers, and maybe some of what has been lost over time.
-
Freedom of speech - people need to wake up to the fact that freedom of speech is about a lot more being free to say what ever they want, at any time. It is also a check on evil. That should be clear by now (and I think it's part of what Q meant by the great awakening). If people aren't allowed to speak freely, and the MSM is a perfect example of what happens when freedom of speech is taken away. Part of governing ourselves is speaking freely about what we see going on around us.
-
The Right to Bear Arms - what is a Republic without the right to bear arms? It's been joked about. We've been told it's just about hunting, or maybe to throw off a corrupt government, but then we are told that imposing just a few restrictions is for our benefit and protection. And the MSM talking heads talk about how reasonable that is, and people buy into it. But I think the founding fathers had much more in mind. The right to bear arms is also the right to self defense. The right to bear arms is the right to stop evil in it's tracks. Not vigilantism, there are courts for dealing with criminals after the fact. But the ability to stop an attacker, to prevent a crime, to stop a criminal in the act of violence - That Is a Form of Self Government, and a check on evil. It's not about handing everything over to the Feds - we've seen how that works out, and maybe that's a big part of the great awakening.
So, if we are going to have a Republic, we must participate in the actions of government, which is to have law and order all around us, in our own communities. Some are called to serve in government positions, but they need to be vetted by us, and not be some name floated by the MSM. That may sound difficult, but a place like this board, and others, is the perfect place to expose the people seeking office. Everybody knows somebody, and with enough honest people participating, we should be able to vet anyone running for office. I happen to now 2 people in our state government. More importantly, I know other people who know them better than I do. So while I might not agree with everything those 2 say (who am I kidding, 99% is as good as it gets), I know they are one of us, and stand for what is right.
I don't want to ignore what is going on in the world around us as part of this movement. Far from it. I just think too many people in the US are still sleeping on their responsibilities.
I understand that. I feel we need to expose all aspects of the deception. So I appreciate everyone's contributions to the discussion.
I’ve been thinking a lot about this recently, there’s a thought that were born into this prison planet.. but why? Why are we here? And why is it a prison planet? You can see the evil around you, but you can also see God‘s amazing beautiful creation found in nature. And as a born-again believer, I actually feel it makes sense when you look at the world that way. If you think of the world as a prison it makes sense why evil reigns (I believe this Satan has dominion over this world due to the fall/ original sin and Jesus has paid our ransom, literally, so we can leave this prison). Part of the great awakening is more people coming to that knowledge. But I do believe we are going to understand more about our origins, at least I hope so. Some days I just don’t wanna be here anymore and I long for the place that is truly home, I know that place isn’t here.
Beautifully said.
Ditto! Every word!
Edgar Cayce called it Earth School. That suits me. It's a realm of choice, where you (as your soul) gain wisdom from experiencing your choices when confronted with different types of situations.
I agree, this is huge. like Q said, bigger than we can imagine. which to me, sounds like God. we're going to find out we've been separated from God, and that's why Q posted the prayer/mentions 'mirror'.

"For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known." – Corinthians 13:4-13
"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints." – Ephesians 6:10-18
The great awakening is many things to many people. We agree that Christ is the true awakening that every soul needs. But I would like to point out that far too many Christians and church leadership have been deceived by the DS. Try to tell a pastor that Satan has infiltrated the government, and they think you are nuts. You can see it in their eyes. And I'm only talking about pointing out the obvious signs, not baby sacrifices politicians are making. Too many churches, and Christians, support a woman's right to choose - at least to a point, like first trimester - but don't oppose abortion. How long did it take to go from first trimester to partial birth? The Clintons pushed that agenda. The Catholic church opposes abortion, so that is good, but I don't see them fighting against it in proportion to the size of the Catholic church. I was raised Catholic - so I'm not making up theories about it. Where does all the money go that they raise for their charities?
Sorry, I don't mean to pick on you. I watched the church I was involved in 2-3 years back fall right into the DS Covid trap. They had a perfect opportunity to preach the good news of Christ, but instead they focused on trying to "help people" by understanding Covid, how to deal with it, you know, be the hands and feet of Christ. They closed their doors, put up no resistance, and the first online message was interviewing a doctor about Covid. I watched a couple more online messages, and then said that was it. Done. I talked to at least one church leader at that time, he kind of agreed, but I don't know if it made any difference. I had a relationship with the pastor - not close, but close enough that I could see the influences leading him down the path of we are trying to reach people and grow the church, so lets not offend anyone. We'll still preach the gospel, but use "God" instead of "Jesus" for most of the message. Oh, and lets not forget being "culturally relevant". You can see where this is going.
Anyway, there's a lot of Christians who need to wake up. They know there's a devil, but they are not aware of his tactics. Maybe they are fighting their own little battles, and have lost sight what is important. So I think we need to get the message out there to Christians as well about what is going on around us. If they know what is going on, they will get involved. Maybe not in some significant way from a worldly perspective, but they will make a difference.
On another note, I also really struggle with the concept of bringing an innocent baby into this world, only to be corrupted and exposed to evil. I just can’t fathom why anyone would do it knowing what we know, it just seems so wrong! I’m at the age where I really need to figure that out and I believe God wants us to have a baby, I just I’m trying to rationalize it with my mind and I just can’t come up with a good rationale!!
Great point.
Before having kids I questioned why I would want to bring them into this world. And my thought was maybe they change the world. ❤
Once you have the baby you FEEL the purpose. The sense of purpose is as beautiful as nature and feels profoundly important in that same way-continuing the gift of life. Think Mirror- there IS as Much tear jerking beauty and opportunity for God's profound grace in relationship to ourselves and affecting our relationships with others as there is for evil each day. It's all there. So much GOOD.
Thank you! I needed the encouragement. It's honestly something I need to hear more of, from parents who have kids. Well, to be fair, most of our friends with young kids right now (5 and under) are going through a super difficult time with them, so it doesn't make it any easier for us to make that decision if you know what I mean!! lol... I hear that's just how it is with young kids.
My husband and I are just getting back on our feet after going through 6+ years of very difficult times. We are finally at the place where starting a family makes sense, but given what's happening in the world right now, it seems so counterintuitive to my rational thinking. I appreciate hearing from people like you!
Right, something I've struggled with as a parent watching other new parents bring their little ones into this mess. But is it really a mess? When we look outward at the world and politics it is for sure scary and quite a mess that no one can really wrap their head around no matter how many days or years you've paid attention. But when you look into yourself, focus on your family and your immediate surroundings, life is wonderful. Like the yin and yang there will be darkness and light everywhere you turn but it is your choice to decide how you want to view your life. I think this is our heaven or hell, all depends on how you make of it. And for those that are suffering, they are there for us to realize just how fortunate we are and to make sure we teach our children to care for this world and continue to spread love to save our future.
This is beautiful and well said, thank you for the encouragement!
The world is what you make of it. If you want to bring a beautiful baby into this world do it without fear. The love you have for that little one will be enough for you to focus on whats important and raise a wonderful tiny human. Best of luck!
At least now we are catching on to our situation and therefore have a chance to emancipate ourselves. When I was child bearing age, everyone was clueless albeit blissfully ignorant.
