Another Draper Bikeway Update

Posted on June 28, 2018 by ehurst

I took a ride around Draper Lake yesterday to check on the progress of the bikeway project. I started from the marina and rode counterclockwise. They now have a team laying a curb on one side of the bikeway. I’m guessing they’ll eventually do both sides, but with all the delays in getting the asphalt laid, they have plenty of time.

This is the point below the dam where the trail construction is temporarily blocked by a dirt dump from an older as-yet unfinished construction project. You can’t see the actual construction in this image on the right, but it shows the alignment of the bikeway and how the dirt piles have halted it until the site is released. If you go farther around the dam, you can see the unfinished pump house construction (left) below the dirt pile area.

This is a green sand plum (right). I think someone has picked the dew berries clean, and has been working on the blackberries, because the vines and bushes I spotted last week were bare of all but the greenest berries. However, close to these patches were sand plums. This has been a bad year for wild fruit out by the lake. In several very dense areas of sand plum bushes, I found only a half-dozen anywhere close to ripe like these two (left). They will ripen on the window sill at home.

All along the northern section of the bikeway loop crews have been doing massive dirt work. Recent rains have shown them the weak spots I wrote about previously. In this shot (right) the crews are adding a deep layer atop the previously half-finished trail bed. There were huge dump trucks rolling up and down Draper Drive ferrying fill dirt to low spots. Some of it came from this corner (left) that has been scalped for a future parking lot. This was one area where I pointed out the bikeway was almost a meter below the ground surface, but that’s been changed now, obviously.

Most of this dirt work looks fine, but it needs rocks. This last image shows a very nicely contoured fill over a deep gully, but unless they add a heavy layer of rip-rap on the face of the incline, this thing will wash out and collapse within three to five years. There are over a dozen places like this and most of them are at the stage when the rocks should already be there. It’s bad enough they didn’t mix any gravel into this build-up to help stabilize the soil.

I’ve had friends who lived in both Oklahoma and Texas tell me that the latter state is pretty tough on hydrology engineering and drainage for any construction, but that Oklahoma has very weak standards. Thus, the kind of flooding and washouts that plague Oklahoma roads and building foundations is rarely seen in Texas because Texas state government won’t tolerate such an outcome. Unless the Draper bikeway project puts in the hard work and engineering, parts of it will fail disastrously in just a few years. In closing, I note that the swamp section near the model aircraft aerodrome was flooded again yesterday. That portion of the bikeway is already a disaster.

The Inevitable End of the West

Posted on June 27, 2018 by ehurst

Biblical Law is the Person of Christ. Get to know Him and you will know Biblical Law; this is the Covenant of Christ. It absolutely requires heart-led mysticism and spiritual birth. You are under that covenant when the Lord reaches out and touches you and breathes His Spirit into your soul. The Bible calls these people “the Elect” and makes clear it is a minority of humanity, but never says why that is so. The Covenant of Christ (Covenant of Biblical Law) is binding only for the Elect.

The Covenant of Noah is subsumed under Biblical Law. If you are in Christ, you use Noah merely as a reference point for your flesh. However, Noah is binding on all humanity. In case you are wondering, the Covenant of Moses is a specialized application of Noah, binding only on Jews. Moses implies Noah in that sense. However, the purpose of Noah is to point to higher things; it is the gateway for fallen mankind to find God’s ultimate truth.

Further, Noah implies the heart-led way. You can’t really get Noah right without heart-led mysticism, but you can begin to harvest the blessings — the shalom of Noah — without that. Noah also has unstated prerequisites; your social structure and government must be tribal, feudal and covenantal. Those should be seen as all one thing, but I break it up that way because we are addressing this from the Western viewpoint. These three help to depict the particular failure of the people in the USA. Those three items were ubiquitous in the world of the Bible, so they aren’t much of an issue up through the New Testament times. They become an issue because Western Civilization is a glaring failure of them.

(Note: The proper feudalism is not Western Medieval feudalism, but Ancient Near Eastern feudalism, which is quite different. The former if focused on real estate and tangible property, while the latter is focused on people as the real treasure. The latter is also inherently covenantal.)

But these are so essential that we can declare them as fundamental to Creation itself. The natural world is tribal, feudal and covenantal. You cannot hope to understand natural processes without understanding those three. And we could add that you cannot understand nature without seeing that every part of Creation is alive, sentient and willful, another prerequisite. This is rather plainly stated in Scripture, but precious few Bible readers take it seriously. This is why mainstream organized Christian religion is failing.

Our point here is that we must assert without waffling that Noah remains binding on all humanity; it is the standard by which we evaluate all human governments, and all human activity in general. The blessings are magnanimous; they are so generous that if you but nibble at the edges of Noahic Law, you will receive some measure of shalom, which we define generally as social stability. However, a more detailed description appropriate to Western minds is to break it down: reasonable prosperity, resistance to diseases, relative strength against enemies, and a stable economy and social order. Furthermore, nature itself tends to be kinder and more cooperative. Notice that we deny there is any mechanistic connection; these blessings reflect relative improvements over the baseline of other folks around you who ignore Noah’s Law.

It works on a sliding scale, rather like friendliness with humans. The more you cling to Noah’s provisions, the friendlier Creation gets, because it represents drawing near to the Creator. An otherwise failing society that is tribal-feudal will reap benefits over other societies in the same region that pretend to democracy or something else. So it’s entirely natural that a tribal Muslim people that migrate to a Western country will eventually take over the country, even if they have no conscious intent to do so. God will simply give them their new home.

That’s because Western Christianity is not genuinely Christian. Christ was an eastern man teaching an eastern religion; the Bible is an eastern book. Western churches are infused with a Germanic mythology that is quite foreign and even hostile to a genuine Hebrew traditional viewpoint.

Everything happening today can be explained by the moral power of Noah’s Covenant. See how the Latina wins her local election to the shock of everyone in the establishment? She’s a Latina who is openly racist (i.e., supports La Raza) in a majority Latino voting district. Nothing else about her matters much to the voters. You’ll read all kinds of commentary that suggests other factors, like being openly socialist in a socialist district, but that’s not the real story. And for those of us who understand Biblical Law, we see nothing wrong with this.

What’s wrong is letting her have significant authority over people who don’t agree with her agenda. A make-believe cosmopolitan USA is totally contrary to the Bible. The people in her district should have what they want, but they should not be able to force it on anyone else. The whole point in electing her to Congress is to change the balance of national policy. The USA is not a genuine nation, but an empire that enslaves all kinds of people. The US has done that since her birth, and now the slaves outnumber the slavers in certain locales. You should expect the tables to turn, but the fragile system that once held us all together is already fractured and coming apart. Freedom for one group will always mean oppression to every other group.

If it so happens the Lord calls you to a mission among Latinos, you’ll find their culture makes a whole lot more room for the heart-led way. Muslims very obviously stand quite close to it, but their otherwise rigid adherence to Islam can be quite an obstacle to missions. And there are other groups for which you’d have to study and experiment to see how they respond, but I dare say almost any culture will be more open to the heart-led way than white Americans. The so-called “American Way” is relentlessly hostile to Noah’s Law, so it stands as an abomination to God. It’s dying and won’t be back. Theoretically, it can be saved only at the cost of a horrific slaughter and forced emigration of non-whites; but then Caucasian birthrates are already approaching a net loss due to cultural drift.

Caucasian Americans are the remaining core of Western Civilization, so don’t be surprised at what happens to them as a race when God squashes the West.

Rattling My Own Cage Again

Posted on June 26, 2018 by ehurst

Just my opinion, so you can ignore this post, but I will not be silent. This is part of my divine calling. If nothing else, this will tell you something about me.

I’ve struggled with how to characterize Trump. It’s not that he has no principles, but that’s only a small part of the picture. For decades he has been an entertainer with a huge business in the background. That hasn’t changed, but the show is now broadcast from the Oval Office. Everything he does eventually profits that business empire, but he manipulates his audience to ensure that everything remains favorable to his business dealings. He’s not deceiving; he is entertaining. He is fairly consistent with his themes. If he appears to change course, it’s in response to the ratings. Whatever agenda he espouses is aimed at prospering his empire and feeding his ego, but he will pursue it honestly.

His agenda is crony capitalism, but he knows it works best when a slender majority of the population that pays attention is tuned in to the show. Broad American prosperity is necessary for his own prosperity, and his plan will probably work in the long run. He believes he’s going to soften the inevitable economic crash. At some point he’ll probably try to sell it that way. He believes he’s laying the groundwork for a good rebound. His plan is plausible, so he’s not stupid, but he’s definitely not attuned to what God is doing right now.

But whatever crises are coming, those are just the shift in setting that God will use to carry out His own divine plans. The US has to be shattered, in the process, the globalists will be crushed first, followed by the imperialists. Nationalism will prosper, even if it’s only the flawed nationalism of Americans. This is not a complete wipe and do-over as with Noah. It’s just the end of some particularly egregious offenses against Biblical Law.

It’s also the end of one empire and civilization, and the rise of another that will include some elements of what it replaces. That’s the way Western Civilization arose, sucking up much of the Greco-Roman Civilization but adding a whole raft of new elements stolen from Germanic Tribes. Just so, what I currently call the nascent Networked Civilization will be somewhat western, but will be its own thing with a whole raft of new elements.

So this will not happen without some breakage and bloodshed. Nobody can estimate how much, nor where the tipping point will be — actually multiple tipping points, each with its own sorrows.

For once we have communism without guns (under the guise of globalism). That’s why it will fail; communism never happens without force. We’ve got riots and strikes, but no significant armed force.

Then again, genuine communism has never been tried; it’s always been the cover for cronyism. History says communism can work only in tiny enclaves. And even then it needs fresh blood every generation; kids raised under communism seldom stick around the commune. But as national governments go, communism has always been the cover for something else.

This is why today’s globalist elite are against China, for example. The globalist elite are also using communism as a front for cronyism, and China has the “wrong” cronies. At any rate, the globalists aren’t smart enough to actually understand communism in the first place, so they are promoting their brand and almost nobody is buying. America’s globalists will become increasingly frantic and violent. Somewhere in this will be a tipping point that provokes a violent right-wing backlash.

Had Clinton and her gang bowed out gracefully and worked on rebuilding their popular appeal, Trump would be in trouble. Instead, we get constant kvetching and trying to delegitimize the last election, ratcheting up the audacity of their attacks. It is wearing thin.

If the alt-right can provoke legal action, they would prefer that for now. Back during the Pizzagate noise, an alleged FBI informant was dumping information on 4chan and other forums. While this leaker was feeding the pedophilia frenzy, he insisted the real issue was Clinton’s charity foundation. He was unable to give too many details because they could be traced back to him, but he indicated that researching their foundation was the best way to bring pressure to bear on jailing the Clintons and their friends. Keep in mind that the Clintons rule over a very large globalist cabal. They didn’t hide their tracks all that well because they were convinced she would win the election.

Now here we are some months later and it turns out other leakers have made Clinton indictments plausible by diligently searching out her tracks. I’m not going to regurgitate all the ugly details here, but this long and detailed discussion is just skimming the surface. It links Clinton, Obama, Silkway Airlines, gun running for the CIA, the Libya murders, uranium shipments to Russia, and big huge donations from various parties in this business to the Clintons’ foundation, and it reaches all the way back to Brzezinski and the mujahideen. The linked article will also introduce you to the current thread of activity with Q and fans.

Then again, Q and friends have never heard of my prophetic warning not to mess with Iran. So Q is hotly promoting the current US-funded agitation in Iran. But my prophetic warning could as easily apply to our proxy warfare. I am confident Iran’s government will have no trouble squelching the riots if they so choose. I’d be really surprised if any efforts at regime change would work there. The news reports about this are wildly exaggerating the scope and seriousness of these protests.

I tend to believe this will be the primary failure point for Trump’s agenda. Buying into the neocon/Zionist idiocy is not from God. Israel keeps pushing the envelope of what the rest of the world will tolerate. Any day now she will cross that invisible line and all hell will break loose on her. I’m convinced that God will crush Zionism pretty soon as a part of pouring out His wrath on the American imperialists.

So the sequence I see here is:

1. The globalists go down, Clinton and friends in particular.

2. But the globalists will not surrender. Lots of lawsuits and indictments, then some bloodshed.

3. America will struggle with economics and some foreign policy failures.

4. God will crush the imperialists and Israel; it will be at least partly supernatural.

5. The US will break up into smaller states.

Running through all of this is how most of the warfare between parties will take place online. The bloodshed will be secondary as a consequence of the propaganda warfare on the Net. If you want to watch it as it happens, stay tuned to the activity on 4chan, 8chan and Reddit. Several blogs are tracking this, such as the one I linked above. It’s very hard to find a source that doesn’t actively support the troll army, so keep in mind the bias. This will help you see the first two items. The rest may be harder to track once they get started.

This is what I honestly expect to see, and what I plan on living with as it happens.

Demon Gods of This World

Posted on June 26, 2018 by ehurst

Never apologize for your calling and mission from Jehovah.

We need fellowship; it is the essence of our design. It’s not the same as friendship. You can have lots of friends who don’t have a clue about otherworldly considerations, but truly satisfying fellowship is a bottomless hunger that comes from the Presence of the Holy Spirit, and the only fulfillment is in the company of folks who are heart-led mystics. Most of us here at Kiln of the Soul are lacking that fellowship in our worldly existence. We find it with each other online, but it only stokes the flames of desire for face-to-face contact with each other. Worse, there really aren’t all that many in our online world, either (in the sense of their being fully conscious of it).

If you are seeking genuine peace with God and service in His Kingdom, you will surely harvest hostility from people focused on this world. There is a sense in which the hostility is a symptom of need; the very people who most need your witness are the ones who reject it. Hostility is like respect; it should be earned. People who are naturally hostile are the sickest of all souls, but we know the root cause of hostility to our otherworldly witness is a symptom of demonic presence, one way or another.

Political activists of any stripe are serving demons. They believe this world matters, and Christ said it really doesn’t. There are things we do while we are here, and we do need to be aware of what’s going on, but that’s a matter of tactics, not overall strategy. The strategy is to deny this world, to pull away from it. At the same time, pulling away from it gives us a totally different perspective on what’s happening within it.

On the one hand, we cry out for more tribalism among our own kind of heart-led mystics. On the other hand, we know that in the eyes of this world it looks very much like something called “atomic individualism.”

This world does not understand where the focal point belongs; a proper godly tribalism rests on a biblical covenant, not on any other human trait. In a certain fundamental human sense we reject all other tribes as insignificant, as ultimately meaningless. We may still have a mission that means dealing with human associations, but that’s merely the place we stand for shining the light of glory. Nothing of significance comes from such human associations, except when we convince people to stop being anxious about such things. We want them to stop caring so much about the human associations and start caring about the divine.

It’s a realignment of everything in our human existence. It may well mean pulling away from some human friendships and family (Matthew 10:34-39). Be prepared for that, but don’t assume it has to be so. What we cultivate is a wholesale shift in meaning for everything, including those things most humans hold sacred. This requires we learn how to face hostility from folks who don’t like seeing their orientation and sense of what’s important trashed like that. It will appear to them we are going off into our own little world — “atomic individualism” — but that’s only because their world is a lie.

Get to know God. The only way you can know Him is via your heart. All the huge piles of theology and listed attributes are nothing but one or another man’s chatter. You have to write your own life narrative on the pages of human existence. Don’t let someone else write it for you; they may not even write their own very well. Your proper tribe is not found that way. It’s found in a genuine commitment to faith that makes no sense at all to this world.

Worldly virtues are no virtue at all; worldly deities are all demons.

The Ultimate Loyalty

Posted on June 25, 2018 by ehurst

Biblical Law is the moral character of our Savior. It’s the revelation of God. It’s not confined to words on the pages of Scripture, but is the impact of God’s Presence in your soul, and the driving conviction to serve Him.

Dig into the issue of human nature and history itself will tell you that humans are tribal by instinct. Wise men can tell you that when you mix people together in a cosmopolitan atmosphere, each identity group will advocate for their own advantages. If they vote, then each group will vote for their own welfare, and precious few will think in terms of what’s in the best interest of the whole society. They may even claim that their tribal interest is in everyone’s best interest. Who in their right mind could want anything different? It can be racial, ethnic, religion, or something else, but people will support the agenda of whatever group they identify with most.

However, this is not simply human nature; this is Biblical Law. It shouldn’t be mere instinct, but should be conscious and forthright. The whole range of Law Covenants in the Bible presume that you must stick with your tribe and care for their unique needs and interests. If you don’t, you are a traitor or a spy. You actually belong to some other identity group and you are faking it. What the Bible does require is an honest confession of allegiance.

So anyone who tries to suggest that we should be conditioned and educated to support some cosmopolitan agenda is not just stupid — they are defying God. It’s damned evil; it’s the message of Satan. You cannot possibly have peace with God if you are forsaking a genuine tribal bond for some mythical cosmopolitan agenda.

In our parish, we naturally presume that those who care about Biblical Law will pray to God for guidance as to what their tribal identity should be. To whom do we belong in this world? What is the identity He requires for each of us? It cannot possibly be the same answer for all of us.

That is, it cannot be the same unless you seek to become a part of heart-led mysticism. Sure, root for your favorite sports team, hold fondness for your alma mater, and vote in elections for your home boy or girl. But once you join the family of Christ, all of those things take a back seat. They don’t disappear; they fade from your focus. The cares of this life remain below while your heart of conviction rises to the Spirit Realm.

And the longer that holds, as you progress in subjecting your whole life to the agenda of Heaven, the dimmer those things will be for you. It’s like the chorus of an hold hymn, Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus:

Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His glory and grace.

In a certain sense, we don’t care about your ethnic background, your homeland, or any formal religious identity. We don’t care about human laws and political agendas. I’ll tell you what I think about such worldly things, but holding a different opinion won’t affect our fellowship. What we care about is that you are walking the heart-led way and committed to Christ. That makes you part of our tribe, however much you want to be a part. It’s the highest loyalty we have.

Disentangled from the Lies

Posted on June 24, 2018 by ehurst

It’s a moral perversion to ignore the real problem in favor of false accusations.

If you are going to participate in revealing God’s truth, don’t drag the Devil into it. It’s one kind of problem to declare that there is no moral fabric; it’s actually worse to lie about what is moral. That’s the essence of the Fall: Deciding what is good or evil on the basis of human reason.

I mentioned recently Trump’s troll army and the anonymous figure called “Q” — these are not heroic people. Whatever else “Q” is, the person behind it is a despicable neocon. They will mix half-truth in with damned lies and promote an evil agenda that justifies God’s wrath. But none of that justifies calling the troll army “racist” or any number of other SJW false accusations. Keep in mind that this is two armies of evil fighting for who gets to plunder us and devour the spoils.

Our duty in Christ is to see what God is doing and call attention to His glory. He’s going to deal with one evil, and then turn His attention to the other. Either army is likely to espouse individual issues we happen to favor; the problem is that they have no clue why those issues are morally just. We have to be very careful how we engage something like that to avoid giving God’s glory to anyone else.

Thus, we can condemn those huge petroleum pipeline projects along with a bunch of Greens, but for a different reason: The people behind those projects are rapacious thugs who spitefully abuse natural resources and give our Creator the finger. They will reject any moral duty to be careful and protect other environmental resources God has given us.

But we condemn the Greens because they worship the creature, not the Creator. The Green agenda is to depopulate the earth (by slaughter if necessary) of all but themselves so they can enter into some impossible Nirvana of elitist “harmony with nature” as true worshipers. God gave us natural resources to use for His glory; the rapacious oil companies could do a far better job than they do now, but their worship of Mammon makes it a sin. The Greens versus Big Petroleum is a war between equally evil demon worshipers.

And it would be just as wrong to ignore the other groups involved in such protests. We are actually quite close to Native American pipeline protesters in many ways. Biblical Law says we owe a huge moral debt to the American natives. Don’t fall for a false dichotomy; few things in life are as simple as a binary choice.

Don’t walk into these things blindfolded. We represent the Creator, and He alone represents us. Nobody in this world is interested in what drives us, but they may be quite willing to hijack our energy for their lies and personal profit. There is nothing we can do about them for the most part, so ignore them when you can. We don’t support Trump; we stay out of his way as much as possible. We also don’t support his enemies. We are on a wholly different path from all of them, but we should pay attention to what they are doing so we’ll know to avoid unnecessary conflicts.

The ultimate failure of human reason is the self-deception that objectivity is even possible.

Teachings of Jesus — Matthew 18:7-14

Posted on June 23, 2018 by ehurst

Jesus began this session explaining that leadership in His Messianic court would rest on unreserved trust in Him and His teaching. He draws the picture of a disciple who is like a younger child, but draws that image from His own culture where such children would never be a smart-aleck, but would always act as they were told. This is what Jesus calls a “little one” who should command the highest respect by His disciples.

A particular sin is taking advantage of such trust to mislead anyone. Would you dare trying to lie to the Father in Heaven who can read your very heart? Lying to one of His trusting servants is just as bad. Don’t abuse trust for any reason; it’s a cruel parent who plays head games, seeking to manipulate his own children instead of trusting them with the truth and free moral choice.

But Jesus now turns and says we should expect this world to be filled with people who do that and worse. That’s the way it is after the Fall — count on it. Still, God is watching and will surely pour out His wrath on such behavior. If not in this life, then surely in eternity, just recompense will fall on such moral depravity.

Jesus uses typical Hebrew hyperbole to emphasize His otherworldly viewpoint. It’s better to go through life maimed and crippled than to earn the wrath of God in the next life. If you cannot resist the temptation to abuse your position of trust, do whatever it takes to simply make it impossible. It’s a common Hebrew figure of speech to put out your eye or amputate a hand or foot to disable temptation. It’s a sort of preventive justice so you don’t end up falling under Lex Talionis — “eye for an eye.” Know yourself; if you know you are likely to abuse a position of trust, then stay away from such positions.

The kind of contempt for people that leads to abuse of trust is truly dangerous on the order of burning in Hell. Just because you can get away with it on the human level, don’t be fooled. God’s angels are watching and they will report it to the Father. The faith of these trusting “little ones” empowers their angels. Is your lack of faith, in trying to control things God reserves to Himself, binding your angel from guarding your life?

Try to understand how Jesus exemplified the divine shepherd. His servants who get misled and wander off into the power of the Devil are not just a minor annoyance to Him. It leaves Him with a sharp sense of loss. He came willing to die a horrifying death just so He could redeem them. He would go out of His way to chase them down, and would celebrate grandly when He rescued them. If He’s going to make such a big deal out of one percent like that, how much anger would you expect He holds for anyone who manipulated that sheep into getting lost?

You should tremble at the mere possibility that you could somehow lead one of His sheep astray.

Our Message Will Prosper

Posted on June 23, 2018 by ehurst

Let’s review: Globalism is the prettier and younger sister of the old hag, communism. They are both gold-digging materialists who waste everything they get their hands on so that everyone is left poorer. And then they demand more. Here in the US, I’ve pegged globalists as the current biggest threat to human existence. There is no ethical or moral boundary these folks will not cross to seize power. They currently rule the mainstream media, most entertainment, most of academia and control the bureaucrats in most government agencies.

But very few Americans consider themselves any part of that philosophy. The globalists run the Democratic Party and control most of those who consider themselves leftist. They also have a strong minority in the Republican Party, in the sense that a small number of Republicans are sympathetic to portions of the globalist agenda. I’ve also said that globalists will ally with imperialists on some things, which is how they get a foothold like that. Yet for all their power, they are a minority in government and business. It’s just that they are so very loud, and they are firmly in control of the agenda espoused by people who think of themselves as politically progressive.

You don’t have to be conservative to be their enemy. All you need do is express insufficient support for their agenda. This is why they have always been a minority; they are spitefully intolerant. They used to hide that, but lately they’ve become quite open about it. Anyone who remains somewhat conservative and tries to work in their controlled enclaves will be persecuted at a minimum.

A notable example of that is Dr. Jordan Peterson. I’ve mentioned Dr. Peterson in the past. He’s very popular with folks sick and tired of the SJWs (social justice warriors) making so much hateful noise. Because he works in academia, he presents himself as besieged and oppressed. He’s not really so very conservative; he’s more centrist in what he promotes. He stands away from the fringes, so to speak, and gets a good bit of exposure in the media for it.

He does say a lot of sensible things. It’s clear he’s studied the human condition and has a firm grasp on what he believes would solve most social problems. However, he does waffle on some principles in order to keep from being shut out of the public debate. I noted that he is a fan of Western Civilization, so while we can appreciate some of what he has to say, there’s not that much overlap between his and our positions. Still, he’s got quite a fan base among self-conscious conservatives.

Lately he’s stumbled noticeably. From a conservative viewpoint, he failed to maintain fundamental principles more than once in public presentations. He wasn’t fully prepared for the typical semantic games of leftist manipulation. If he doesn’t turn this around quickly, he’s going to lose traction. Complaining about being a besieged man of principle only goes so far. Unless he takes advantage of his moment in the spotlight to propose at least a few concrete ideas to go on the attack, he’s going to be left behind.

I stand firm in my conviction that God is pouring out the first wave of His wrath on globalists — not so much as the sole target as simply a major first target. He will stir the conservative majority to do much of the work for Him. The momentum has already turned and the mass of public attention has shifted against the globalist message. We are already seeing the gentler assaults and it’s rather effective. The low-hanging fruit is being harvested now. Pay no attention to what seems like some kind of momentum on the progressive side; it’s all in vain. If Dr. Peterson continues operating like a member of a besieged minority, he’ll be left behind in the dust. More money and attention will go to aggressive figures who lead the way.

At the same time, you and I must remain aloof from the whole thing. Getting down and dirty with this partisan battle will take us out of the real war to restore heart-led mysticism to human awareness at large. Conservative American politics is not the message of the Bible. When the globalists have been crushed, the conservatives will not be our friends, either. However, they will be more tolerant of us, so our message can prosper.

Trump’s Troll Army

Posted on June 22, 2018 by ehurst

Most assertively, we proclaim that this world of mainstream human awareness is a lie. It is absurd and only appears to make sense to those captivated within their fallen nature. As soon as you start appropriating the grace and mercy God offers, you will begin to question what your senses and logic tell you. Faith calls you to reject this world and its ways.

The only reason we stay involved in this world is to help spread awareness of that grace and mercy. We participate in the revelation of God, which He granted as an antidote to the Fall. His revelation is invasive in the sense that it cuts into the Curse of the Fall and pulls us out of the blindness and restrictions. It seizes us, calls us into the moral discernment and a sense of mission to live within the Fallen Realm by a higher power from outside it.

This in turn makes it our duty to understand the Fallen Realm from God’s clear view above it all. It need not be an encyclopedic understanding, only the part we need to walk in our own calling. My calling includes keeping an eye on human behavior on a broad scale, but with a prophetic ministry confined mostly to the USA. A part of that specialization is paying attention to the Internet, in part because so much of America’s future is tied up in that.

Let me reiterate that no government on this earth, so far as I know, is close enough to God’s revelation to warrant any particular favor. Nobody is obeying any covenant in any meaningful degree, in those terms. So it makes our part relatively simple, in that a primary means of reflecting God’s glory is living by Biblical Law. Striving to be His revelation in this world puts us in a unique position to see clearly how the world as a whole fails to seek God’s favor. Thus, we have the means to proclaim His truth by the simple contrast of how we live. Making a vivid contrast means understanding how the world has failed to live by God’s Word.

The US government in particular stands as an egregious violation of God’s Word. There may be particular items that make us smile, but most of it should make us weep. Sometimes the contrast between His Word and what America does is a matter of missing the point, making a mountain out of a molehill. For example, the American obsession with pedophilia does not reflect what’s in the Bible. All the more so due to the disgusting hypocrisy of sexualizing kids in entertainment and worshiping youth, while frantically searching for any evidence of human desire for sex with children. Pedophilia is wired directly into American culture. It’s not a question of whether it is sinful, but of greater sins committed by not keeping things in a biblical perspective. The solution to the problem is not in hysteria.

By now you probably know that whenever a government agency wants to take someone down, they often resort to planting evidence of child pornography on their Internet devices. And with so many computers wide open to various degrees of hijacking by criminals, a significant number of cases are nothing more than owners unaware that crooks are using their computers as storage for such illegal material. In other words, current prosecutions are often bogus, and this is simply another form of oppression and abuse. You end up with parents prosecuted for sharing a picture of baby taking a bath. The lack of clear and sensible standards is itself an abomination to God. Government officials are hardly sincere in any of this.

The mainstream media has spiked the story, so you’ll have to find it in small local outlets or from alternative media: US Arrests 23,000 in Massive Child Sex Operation. Notice the date. Suspending our cynicism for just a moment, we note that something this big was in the planning for quite a while. It turns out that some conspiracy theorists noticed a huge uptick in sealed court documents starting back in November of last year; such statistics are public record if you know where to look. Some portion of such sealed documents are typically indictments. It remains a mere curiosity until you add in the factor that folks were predicting this before it happened.

Stop for just a moment and recall I’ve said we are already in a civil war with a very loud minority of Americans rejecting the outcome of the last presidential election. I’ve also warned that the rising tension will lead to bloodshed, and that we should pray the Lord be merciful to America and keep this limited. Trump is a repulsive immoral creature, but He is God’s chosen instrument of wrath, so opposing him politically is fighting God, while denouncing him along with the whole political system is morally proper. On the human level of things, he’ll stomp on a lot of innocent people, but he is most certainly going after some folks God wants to crush.

One of his weapons is the pursuit of child sex trafficking. It is massively popular regardless of who the suspects might be. Federal law enforcement uses the same methods against child trafficking as they do against drug trafficking. They start by indicting all the little people and making them talk, and keep working upward through the system until they get the kingpins. But think of this as a weapon in the civil war — it’s not a question of whether the folks swept up are actually guilty of this particular thing; it’s the simplest way of taking them down. Yet, it turns out that a significant number of the folks Trump is after are pedophiles themselves, or aided in child sex trafficking.

Further, we have evidence he is involved behind the scenes. He hasn’t been silent, but he has been careful to mobilize a corps of Internet activists who do an awful lot of footwork for the cause. These folks have been active since before the election, and once he became aware of them as a resource, he began engaging them carefully, so that only wacko conspiracy theorists would even notice he’s involved. The whole thing caters to that mindset, and folks like that are very effective at some things.

Do you remember Pizzagate? The trolls behind that haven’t gone away. The small army has grown and now includes quite a few respectable folks who aren’t just basement-dwelling gamers. The chatter on 4chan and other discussion sites has welcomed regular folks who were marginalized by the mainstream. Some of the Pizzagate stuff included leaks from someone claiming to be an FBI insider, and the type and quality of leakage gave credibility to that claim. Now there’s another leaker named “Q” whose leaks are far more obscure and cryptic, but effective nonetheless. Further, some of the cryptic clues are echoed tellingly in Trump’s noise. That is, Q posts something, only to have Trump later include that clue in a tweet or speech or something similar.

This is a very savvy game and we should be grateful that it keeps the violence down. Once violence starts, it will be far more random and chaotic. This stuff with pedophile prosecution is much more narrowly targeted. Keep your eye on this crack-down, because it could easily escalate upward through the ranks into mainstream political figures, not to mention Hollywood and the mainstream media.

Boasting in the Lord

Posted on June 21, 2018 by ehurst

This is our time as mystics and heart-led servants of Christ.

Surely you know that there are more folks out there who belong to this kind of faith. There’s nothing in God’s revelation that demands we all band together in human space. However, there is much in His Word that demands we seek their fellowship on whatever terms are possible within His calling and covenant. There is no need for a human leader to draw them all in and coordinate their activities; that’s the mission of the Holy Spirit. All of that takes place in the Spirit Realm. What’s left is to encourage each other within the calling and mission we share.

It would nice if there was a way to chat with all of these folks, to share on a personal level. I’m not sure what holds them back, but I can tell you quite a few such folks are subscribed here. Maybe it’s that we are all so very busy working at our mission that we don’t have a lot of time for socializing. I confess I don’t visit too many other blogs and sites on a regular basis because my calling up to now has kept me busy with other stuff. I sense the Lord may change that soon, but I can’t tell you how because I don’t yet know.

The first order of business is to pray for discovery, that the Lord will show us who out there shares enough of our mission and faith to be noticed. Let them know they aren’t alone. I’d also like for you folks to let us hear about what you have found out there in terms of kindred spirits. Leave a comment here, or send me an email about a site, blog or author you believe is a good fit. My email address is linked on the right side of this blog. Maybe we can come up with a link page or something.

Again, this is not necessarily trying to rope people in as members of our little virtual parish. They don’t have to join our club to be considered spiritual kinfolks. But we do need to let them know we are praying for them, and then do just that. We need to share as much as we can and exchange ideas on how to reach our world. And should they desire some kind of formal association, that’s just dandy, but this is not a boast in numbers. Let’s boast in the Lord.

God bless you all.
