Easter
In this life of scarcity, we are forced to cling. In the eternal life with God, we are promised treasures forevermore. But the path from this world of competition to the world of peace is sorrow. Christ entered the Kingdom through death. His life of faithful suffering was the way. His excruciating death was the door. His ressurrection was the key. Through pain we stop clinging to earthly hopes and by faith we testify to the truth of that happy land far far away.
He was not an earthly king.
He did not come to establish an earthly kingdom.
He did not come to give his people the land.
He did not come to topple the tyrants throne or wars perfect practitioners.
He did not come to teach us how to build a perfect earthly state.
He came to teach us to let go.
He came to teach us to look beyond.
He came to show you how to take the blows and sing in prison.
He came to teach us how to die.
Let us then give up on statecraft. Let us stop trying to perfectly divide the land. Let us throw the ring of power into the fire and deprive the god of this earth of his property and people. Let us lay down our arms and steal away our neighbors to heaven. Let us let go of all desires for racial divisions, family legacies, and business ventures. Our kingdom is not of this world. What then does it say about our home if our eyes are forever fixed on this one?
May I live, suffer, and die like him in this world that that is passing away so that we too might share in his glory in the kingdom of God. May I squeeze this life as a testimony to the truth of a love that is stronger than death. May I be rid of fear of state persecution, censorship, and coercion , emboldened to speak truth to power in love. May I sacrifice my comforts and riches of this life to serve those along the narrow path to heaven and those who lack a witness to the vanity of the wide path to hell. May I joyful follow in my Rabbis footsteps into the very arms of my enemies in love, entrusting my soul to my Savior who for the joy that was set before him ensure the cross, despising the shame,and seats now at the right hand of the Father forever. Amen
Amen.
#Easter
A few months ago, you made a prediction on LinkedIn, without qualification or reservation, that "[...] the precedent of my strike against my loan “contracts” will destroy the dollar and the global monetary system - by the end of March. Then the Renaissance will begin. Buckle up Cupcakes"
ReplyDeleteIt's now March 31, and this has not at all happened. The dollar and the global monetary system are functioning just as they did at the time of the prediction.
How do you account for this discrepancy?
