Why Things Are So Messy

The heart is more than a mere sensory organ. It is the seat of the will. In theory, it is the place where the executive should reside, but precious few humans have an active wisdom in their hearts. They don’t even bother allowing it to sense things, much less take its properly exalted office. The Tree of Knowledge killed the heart, placing the mind on the throne of the soul. This why we are constantly in trouble with God, because He does not speak to the intellect, only to the heart.

If your heart is awakened, your mind will recognize truthful doctrine. Make your heart truly your soul’s master and you will find truth overwhelming your understanding, as it should. This is how we discern the moral fabric, the character of God woven into Creation.

Hear, then, the warning from the Spirit Realm. These are things presumed by Scripture, things you should already have in your heart so that revelation makes sense. These are things God didn’t have to say because they were universally understood when revelation was recorded. They are written into Creation itself. You will not come to these truths by mere intellect, but must awaken the rule of the heart.

1. God placed the father figure at the head of the family. Mom can probably do okay without him, but if he’s alive and present, God works through him first. It has nothing to do with superiority, but assigned roles. Any other approach is arguing with God.
2. Extended family is the only government God recognizes. People are family on the basis of shared DNA and/or shared covenant. Ancient imperial governments knew this and seldom interfered in local politics. Most of the time it was a matter of tribute and resource control. This was entirely acceptable to God, and empires died when they poked too deeply into covenant business.
3. Every nation was first and foremost a covenant entity. At the very least, no family/clan/tribe could form a government without first embracing the fundamental covenants, starting with Noah, at least. Any additional provisions had to pass the test of Noah’s Law. There is no valid government without embracing the Law of Noah.
4. God no longer sponsors any political entity. You can get God’s blessings from the Law Covenants, but no nation is called into mission any longer. All missions of revelation now belong to the Invisible Kingdom of the Spirit, and the covenant bodies who form as spiritual families. By the way, no church is valid unless organized as an Ancient Near Eastern feudal family body.
5. Fundamental moral enforcement fell on the family first. The father figure of the family/clan/tribe/nation is required to execute justice. As shepherd, he must decide when a lamb is a threat to the others and sacrifice that one for the stability of the community. He must do so with his own hands, at least in theory. If the family is unwilling to enforce moral justice on their own, God will remove their authority and put them under an outsider. A hired policeman is an abomination to God.
6. Violating these things guarantees a painful destructive end. Every secular nation state will be destroyed in turn, in a never-ending cycle, until we learn to stop creating them.

That should be enough to explain what’s going on around us. If your heart is alive, you’ll recognize the truth of these things. If you mind recoils, you have a ways to go yet. This by no means suggests you cannot come up with your own formulation, your own way of explaining it. However, this is my best representation of what Scripture says, though seldom directly.
