Throughout
Judgement? God doing or said, 'letting' the bad, 'happen'. What might be painful, because..? Personally or wider? There's talk of nations and 'fences'. And our blessings misused, causing trouble to come back on us. All complex, mysterious and could, should be..?
Not prepared – (when am?) – to write much here but would like to sense, something, to proclaim?
Been dipping in and out Heiser's 'Unseen Realm' and what seems sound textual investigation, putting forward notions of a, 'divine council' and… more. Must offer a review/on Truthscoop – soon.
Here and now. What don't, I go with?
Obviously the 'Hurricanes caused by Homosexuality' line that's waved about. Or Aids, because... Or… etc. Evangelical moral 'minority' types wrapping 'God up' to back their specific woes? Even, if I shared/don't – many of their views on sexuality, makes for such a warped perspectives in the blindness to gaping, no-debate God hates. Plus, the scam behind the story told by mainstream science/media.
Overall, if God was judging-now, on earth over individual, to any extent – the landscape would be a desert. And as for 'using evil forces', Bible-says; “Nope, don't put that on God”.
'Natural disasters' like climate change and always blaming or, attributing this to the natural and therefore-God, fails to take in evidence of human involvement. This includes, failure to convince the 'obviously science says CO2' and climate changes, so exceptional. And not looking at Geo-engineering, indicative of the lack of open-debate.Almost the, most significant evidence, it's the Sun and/or secret-ish manipulation is the, close-down, T.V. mode/like discussion. The refusal to let proportional arguments heard, virtually nullifies the 'anthropomorphic' case.
But what, of and from, God?
'Feel' about my own 'judgement' is all, self-groans, at failure. In mission and love. To honour God. To be disciplined and led. On these I, do the groaning. If God is, inside-doing, I can't easily tell. I'm already aching. Is this God – as well? Difficult to know?
What I can be confident on, is God's “get up and get better” impressions. Adjust and battle-on.
To evaluate what is the judgement? Love and mission would sum up the barometer.
The first in attention to adore and commune God unseen but equally in all dealings with humans. God says: God is, God-like and present, when we do to the 'least'. Not to the 'want to impress' but the unto the lowly and in the small – matters.
On mission: Moves that distract beyond any reasonable not-mission-ing time.
Where I'm at? Not a lot to commend on rest and relaxation. Reckon should – but the cult of this among Christians, repulses. Not for me to get-on the judge-this but I'm in over-reaction – currently. And in fairness, the war is too intense for whole lotta fun-times.
Actually that's another factor. Judgement as 'we' judge.
Here's my little thought to close. (Bibles open/pencil and paper):
God uses people to be a judgement. This use of the word, is whereby we need for someone, to show us our response. To have us realise our error. A few famous figures do this. Regardless of whatever else they do/should/shouldn't.
This over-reaction 'against' them, is – the judgement, on 'us'. God using them to 'speak' his judgement. For good. For redemption. For resurrection life.
What we don't like in others is…?
(Often) something in ourselves but (often) a challenge in our thinking.
So: Global and God judgements? The devils doings, are not of God. As for what God is 'saying' in Judgement? I suggest, certain people. They're his main vehicle for judgement-upon the earth. To redeem. We might be from/on different sides and yet similarly deceived, in misjudging these particular, public, figures. To argue less or more; We could all be a bit of this, true-enough, but there's a few widely influential ones, who – I believe – God has a significant call upon. They cannot be too of the dark-side, this doesn't work; neither are they necessarily associated with, or in, the saint-camp. They're generally divisive loved/hated. God isn't 'taking their side' (again, necessarily...) but, they serve His purposes, in speaking-into-people, into things, that God's judging – and thereby yearns and convicts, we repent on. Repentance and God coming: To us. First off or more so.
Whatever these prophetic words about, or numerous ones, must be objectively God's word and will-for. On this?
Yet, God might be asking, we hold unresolved positions, over and above certain politically led actions or calls toward.
Time-out. Today. Grasping away here.
Judge-not when. Judge Righteously. Justice. When. Judge right, now.
God help me to be judged. Want to want. Help. You're love is so supreme and big and true and rich. I can and say “do” – trust you. I invite you to judge. For only love will come of it. Be with me. Get me getting the 'word' – these seeds in. Help me read deep and long. Like a pouring. Soaking. Thank you for being here. Jesus. Amen.
