How do we ever get past this?
🗣️ DISCUSSION 💬
Just want to start by saying I’m a Canadian but I think my question will apply to most in western nations.
How do we get past this divide in our societies? I can’t see myself ever trusting the medical establishment, my government (ever again) and my fellow citizen. How in the hell do we get to a peaceful society after this?
Rapture?
"As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be in the days of the Son of Man"
Yet people forget that in the days of Noah, it was the wicked that were swept away and removed, and it was the faithful, Noah's family, that were left behind.
The concept of the Rapture has been promulgated in modern times by the Scofield Bible and its patrons, who I understand had a specific agenda. It's impact hs been very negative, convincing many of the faithful to focus on a perceived reward for them, abandoning the world (and 'the wicked') while stepping back from engaging in the fight for God's kingdom in the world, as Jesus taught us to pray for.
If it were not for the Scofiled bible, a lot more faithful would probably realize that the scriptures regarding the last days are primarily expressed in symbolic language. Decoding that symbolic language (i.e. "fire", "heaven", "tombs", "rising", etc) helps one to realize that God's purpose is for his kingdom on Earth and that this involves spiritual transformation of humanity, centering on Christ, rather than some supernatural boom where a 'special few' are rewarded.
E.g. Jesus: "I came to cast fire upon the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled". Not literal fire. It's a symbol for "truth".
Thanks for that insight. I appreciate the crap out of you!
Chuckle.
On that note, taking Joys1's comment and to scripture it refers to: "there shall be two men in the field; one will be taken, and one will be left", this also makes full sense spiritually, not literally.
isn't that what's happening right now, today? You work in an office. One (or more) of the workers get total TDS and must vax, must embrace trans, there is no gender, I'm non-binary, etc, and another is like, Q, look at how satanic the globalist elite are, the uber-powerful families that have ruled the world from behind the scenes, God is critical, the war is a spiritual war, etc.
Those who fall under the delusions of the Marxist, woke, globalist agenda are literally being dragged in to a spiritual and mental hell, while those who are waking up are finding greater and greater internal liberation and feel themselves drawn closer and closer to God.
It's the nature of the times in God's timeline: The middle ground is less and less an option, and 'one is taken' to God, and the other is left in the deepening and more hellish realm of satanic delusions (and materialism, etc).
Two thousand years ago, many of our forebears really did not have the logical frame and the intellectual frame to understand "rising up in Christ" refers to rising spiritually in Christ, rather than somehow floating up in to the air (where they might get hit by aircraft? how high? Troposphere? Stratosphere? Another magical dimension?)
But grasping a much more profound and indeed logical grasp of the scripture and the truth it tells us is more available to us today than ever before. Mature faith is faith with understanding.
I've probably blabbed way too much, but thankfully, your appreciation has helped drive the crap out of me!
