I honor those who are delving into our distant, often very violent, past to uncover both the great accomplishment, artistically and otherwise, of ancient civilization, found in many places around the globe. In almost every case, including the Judaism civilization predating Jesus Christ, they were led by autocratic rulers who had no compunction about killing for sacrifice or sending their people to die against rival civilizations.

Today's adventurers do not conquer, they cooperate with local people to help them find their heritage. All part of our ever unfolding truth.

Bro,
I feel your deep love and concern for all humanity in your extraordinary insightful write..
It is deep in concern and compassion...I feel many of us are dealing with so much on this planet....Yet many of the world's population live unconscious of the suffering of others and many refuse to ease those sufferings...We are called for such a time as this to break ground, plant seeds and help ease sufferings.. That gives us profound purpose instead of existing... If they don't repent they will reap wages they never thought possible...That breaks my heart...The modern church has done so much damage as some of the elders have been the wolves and used, abused it's gates and people. They will have the greatest wrath...You'll know a true prophet from the things he speaks shall come to pass...This is our glory time to let our lives and conversations be seasoned with salt. People want to see the radiance and deliverance through you..
They want to see extrodinary love as the Father incarnated to earth. He loved all, prostitutes, lepers, everyone...He was born in a stall with animals. Is that the most humbling place to come in?? I think so!!!
.... I think we are witnessing the greatest manifestation of the presents of His wrath and glory too...We will be safe in our Goshen because we did it His way and was was commanded and our faith in what He has done. We plowed, planted, watered manna because we were once filthy and broken and we gave light and the rest was up to the lost sheep and goats of their free will...., .What made us the most powerful greatest nation was our Judeo Christianity.... Then
the forever looser who was cast out of heaven and sent here used other's to infiltrate our every way of life and institutions. We were blinded because of false prophet's, false teachers who were not sent to the masses. Moses had to wait so many years before he was truly in anointing mantle to for fill his calling, as many who suffered greatly. A person who is called must wait on their calling and through much guidance of drawing ever closely to the Father he begins to discern his calling... If we deeply quiet ourselves it will open millions of new doors of His precious spirit...We must find time for it and be receptive through praise and Word...Our churches today are awakening but still don't see because of the teachings they are under and their lack of ability to truly seek His face, His ways, His just laws.. They are ignorant because we have been extremely blessed and they have no idea what was done to Germany through one socialist maniac. They drank the Kool-Aid, millions. The church stayed silent and millions of people died.. To this day I would not want to be in a fox hole with many because Richard they would drag you down Bro... The movie star that just made Sound Of Freedom will be a martyr and he says he welcomes it without fear and said many will have to become martyrs for His end time purpose..
I guess I will if the time comes be as Joan Of Ark.... and why are we as humans more fearful of Satan than our Holy God , giver of life, blessed Christ who shed His blood willingly and could have called in billions of angels. Yet the church today must go through a humbling it's never had.. We are waking to the horrors of what the enemy has been doing and plans and it must be the overseers, watchman, prophets, evangelist who must do warfare prayer. Dutch Sheets is one of my mantled spiritual earth father's, him and Tim Sheets and many other's who are on the threshing floor with sack cloth and ashes as we are to be called too...Our nation must be brought off it's high horses. That is right , it's on high horses...Through this awareness of what we are called for we are called to act!!!!!!!
I too am so profoundly with so many mixed emotions, yet bordering on quite amazement, awe and true exhilaration at these times of how He has called us for our particular mantles to the Ekklesia and to the goats if they choose......I have worked with some goats and I can say they have free will and they will face their conscenscences. Every knee will bow, every tonged will confess Jesus is Lord whether they realize it...
I just plow as long as I can to break ground and then discern His winds. But I know when to walk too..... God's Word never returns void. He says that not only does it reap what seeds were sown and accomplishes everything He says it will...The most important thing we can do is examine our garments to see what is not like him... Be wise, be prepared. Stay prayed and Worded up massively. In the end our bibles will be so worthy of treasure because it is FREEDOM...I think of many overcoming adversity through faith. We must decide how deep we will fully implement the Word, for us and our loved ones... The Lord has said in the coming days will be massive shakings MASSIVE and we as believers are not to fear..
Your heart is so huge beyond most and we are being brought together at this time. It's extraordinary how He chose us NOW....... My whole world began to profoundly expand through massive prophetic dejavu type experiences that could not be explained by other humans... That is when you know your calling is very high....We must cover ourselves all the time in the blood of Christ...Stay strong and prepared because we will need prayer warriors in the coming hours, days, weeks, months and years. Fear not what they can do to your body but be afraid of what God can do to us if we stray... and it is better to never be afraid of fascist tyrants. Stay fired up in prayer Bro
Thank you for your heart...Blessings to you and Michelle, ~D

Two ideas stand out with this journey through aspects of living and dying that are usually dealt with a bias toward one way of thinking. Here, you instinctively allow interpretation to simmer and become by the end, a fully realized consideration that not only has definitive merit on its own but exudes wisdom beyond the expected. The other aspect is the broad way you suggest epochs to function, both as events and as persons. Yes, faith need not be housed in some particular realm, but its very nature demands reaching for truth and answers...many of which continue to be out of our grasp. Much to think about. Thank you for posting.
