Life sucks and then you die.
If you understand anything at all about the God of the Bible, dying is a time to rejoice. We do not place any value on our lives here in this world. We are here because Our Lord wants to use us for His glory. He knows first hand what it’s like to suffer here, and He has provided the means and desire to leave and be with Him. Until then, we cling to His revelation about how to make the most of things.
That’s what my blather about quantum morality should show — you have to understand things on multiple levels at the same time. We know most of humanity shares none of our hope for what comes beyond death. We know humanity as a whole cannot comprehend how we face suffering and sorrow with joy that drives us back into our Savior’s arms. We know that our true understanding of His life on this earth means chasing down multiple threads of paradoxical and symbolic logic and seeing how the same fact can be three kinds of bad and four kinds of good. We understand how those conflicting evaluations may have little to do with what God wants from us in any given context.
We understand how our generation cannot comprehend any of that. We understand how Western Civilization is the product of Hell, a means to enslave mankind under a false perspective. That false perspective steers virtually the entire purpose and activity of our US government. It has nothing to do with whether genuine believers and followers of Christ are employed in the various positions in our government offices. Most Western Christians are also captive to that false perception. There’s no reason for hostility, but sorrow and pity for what these fools are hoping to gain. They have turned away from all the blessings of moral truth and have embraced every lie imaginable.
I mentioned yesterday that the US government is actually multiple governments competing for the power and spoils of a system that is hopeless. Right now, our government’s official policy regarding Syria and all those military assets sitting near there reflect for the most part the interests of faceless plutocrats, essentially bankers and financiers. They aren’t worried about whether Russia will fight our troops and whether it might start WW3, because they figure they’ll be fine either way.
Whether knowingly or not, the NSA as a whole serves the purposes of those same plutocrats. They don’t give a rat’s ass about you and I. A great many of the folks there probably believe it’s all in our best interests. But their primary mission is scooping up all the data which might possibly be of interest to the plutocrats and keeping anyone else from accessing that data. They process the data to identify threats to the plutocrats. If the threat is something they can attack directly themselves using information as a weapon, they’ll do it. Otherwise, they’ll pass to other agencies something about the threat, such information as would cause them to take action. They seek to control the entire narrative. It has nothing to do with truth or falsehood; it’s just information processing.
From our Father’s moral character revealed in His Word, we know this dehumanizes people. That is all we have to know to understand we should treat the NSA as evil. Not an enemy we fight; that’s not how we operate. We go to Our Father’s throne and seek His face, asking how He wants us to handle them within our individual callings. The real business of crushing them is His business. God judges evil in His wrath; we need to know only how we are to act for His glory.
For me, trying to avoid their snooping is pointless. If they seek to harm me for any reason, they have to pass my Father’s hand. It may well turn into a Job experience; that’s not for me to say. The point is that my God is sovereign. What comes into my life in pursuit of His glory is for His glory. Only to the degree I have fallen short of His glory should I need to fear the consequences. Even then, His mercy calls to me daily and I can see His healing hands on things I could never touch. I strive to view it all from His moral perspective. When the time comes in God’s plans, the NSA will destroy itself along with the rest of the US government system and everything in it. They don’t have a clue what matters; the truth has always been in plain sight and no one can hide it from God’s eyes or His revealing hand.
We know the secrets and mysteries that really matter, the stuff the NSA is incapable of seeing, much less recording and hiding. Let’s not lose our focus on what God says really matters.
