How are we to live our lives reasonably safe with meaning when America
is in distress with nearly a quarter of the deaths in the world from
COVID-19 and mob insurrectionin the U.S. Capitol?

A Tetxual and Expository Sermon

     "There will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then. But at that time your people - everyone whose name is found written in the book - will be delivered." Daniel 12:1 NIV

The Fullness of Time
     The fullness of time is not clock time or calendar time. Nor is it seasonal time. It is time that cannot be altered in any form or fashion. When the fullness of time is the time to manifest itself what couldn't, wouldn't and didn't happen in a thousand years happens in a year or less.
     Just as the Coronavirus - COVID-19 - pandemic of 2020 and 2021 is a worldwide happening, and as the prophet Daniel declares, "a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations," "Transforlution," is also a pandemic of a sort that consists of the supernatural yoking, fusion and actualization of evolution and transformation in creative and dynamic process.

Time when the Unknown  is Known
     "Two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding with a hand mill, one will be taken and the other left" Matthew 25:40 NIV
     Immoral man resides in a world which during creation the Creator proclaimed, "And it was good." Man has abused and defiled the earth, making it unfit for human habitation. Man is a wolf unto man.
      Once before, during the days of Noah God destroyed mankind except for Noah and his wife and their three sons and their wives. God promised not to do that again. He made another promise: "At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, "Once more I will shake not only the earth but the heavens." Hebrews 12:26 NIV 
This shaken is now happening. However, some people having eyes do not see and ears do not hear the trumpet, the  trump.
     COVID-19 has killed 2 million people worldwide with 400.000 (23%) of them in America near the end of January 2021. America has only 4 percent of the world's population.
Is this what is meant by America's exceptionalism? The January 6, 2021 insurrection on the U.S.Capitol and COVID-19 are two phenomena that characterize the present destructiveness in America. However, these are by no means the sole extent of the visible and invisible forces afflicting humans and subjecting them to destructiveness and distress.
      In America the kidnapping and enslavement of Africans and their offspring for 246 years, lynching of tens of thousands of them and subjecting them to Jim Crow laws that deprived them of justice and life are some other evils. I could even add how I as a teenager living in rural Alabama had to walk six miles to school  when my thumbing log truck drivers did not pick me up.
    Retribution is an element in transforlution. Payday someday and that may be now day.
      "This is a great time to be alive," as Daniel declares,
"for everyone who is written in the book."  "There will be "two in the field," the one whose name is in the book will be delivered." For that person now is "a great tine to be alive." Is your name written in the book? If so, fear not. Rejoice!
   Now all you need to do is to have and keep faith in God and in humanity being. Faith has bought you and your kindred souls safe this far, despite injustices endured. Faith is sufficient.
What experience, skill and perseverance
cannot do, faith can do it;
What wisdom, knowledge and understanding
cannot do, faith can do it;
What popularity, connection and privilege
cannot do, faith can do it;
What wealth, power and possessions
cannot do, faith can do it;
What love, hope and truth
cannot do, faith can do it
Faith is the principal thing to be applied
in achieving that which appears
to be impossible.
Nothing is more idiosyncratic and
strictly personal than a person's faith.
It's your faith.
Faith can do it.

Listen up my friend:
"For I know the plans I have for you declares
the Lord; plans to prosper you and not to harm
you; plans to give you hope and a future."
Jeremiah 29:11
