Ignorance Isn't Bliss
We live in a day and age where knowledge is rampant, as the data is available through the internet on any subject you wish to research; if you find it on Google, Firefox, Brave, MS Edge, and the like, you can veer off and take your trip down the rabbit hole that leads to the deep and dark web. The written words of Daniel's vision, recorded in the book by his name in the Torah, are renamed the "Old Testament" by the Christians
"But you, Daniel, keep the words secret and the book sealed until the time of the end. Many shall be running back and forth, and evil shall increase. Dan 12:14
"Ignorance, the state or fact of being ignorant: a lack of knowledge or awareness." Websters
"The word ignorant is an adjective that describes a person in the state of being unaware, and can describe individuals who deliberately ignore or disregard important information or facts, or individuals who are unaware of important information or facts." - wikipedia.org
"But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day." 2 Peter 3:8
The Real Battle Is Within You
As I sit down to write, battles and fires are raging across America's cities and in me.
Jesus said that the hearts of many would grow cold in the last days because evil would become rampant and people would say "Yes" when they really mean "No", and a Lie would be considered a Truth. We appear to be in such a time and place as he described, and I, like many of you, find myself growing weary and cold, having weathered this evil generation, watching the deterioration since my birth. Coldness seems like a place of refuge in such a case, and Hate is following her lead; both are deterrents to fighting well and surviving. I want to fight well and to do more than survive; I want to thrive! So it follows that I don't want to grow Cold or fall into the dark well of Hate. It appears the first battle is spiritual, as the battleground is invisible in the Heart and Mind.
We are instructed by Christ's Apostles to ready ourselves for battle; to put on the full armor of the spirit of God; that we might stand and fight the Good Fight in the evil day. Let that day and hour not be like a thief in the night; it appears night has come, this is not the day or hour to hide among the cliffs. Ready yourself if you haven't, begin in your heart and mind; humble yourself before the Lord, seek His face, turn from wickedness, pray for you, and then for our land.
Your prayers are needed and can turn this madness around; hate will only fan the flames. I plan to love, not hate; think, not react.
May peace and safety be restored in our land.
