2009: A Time for Hope, A Season to Build

THE PEACE OF JESUS CHRIST, Prince of Peace, be unto all men of good will.
---<--@

STARTING THIS MOMENT, Beloved of God, on this day, the 1st of January of the year of our LORD 2009, come the favorable season for building on the peace of our world. For this day marks the 1290th day in Daniel 12 now manifest to our world as a quite real and almost tangible promise of peace as well as an understanding of the eternal fruits of this peace.

It is a choice to consistently, perseveringly and unwaveringly bring the time, times, and half-a-time quickening of the heart into a real economy of human effort, individual as well as national, that shall by the grace and through the beneficence of our LORD, sanctify the hopes of our nations and herald for our unsung generations, the dawning of the new age of peace.

For each of our nations is as an altar of life, our nameless and honest labors of Country, pleasing to the one LORD of life Whose will it is for us to build upon this creation, the necessary things that shall upon each of our nations become the foundations of our peace which shall help lead souls towards attaining liberation and union in, with and through God. And as each of our nations are indeed, instruments of this peace, they are as altars to the God of all life and Holy Sustainer of all of the everliving and are never to be sanctified to nor must it ever stir with and for war.

Because as with all things that come to us from our good God, these things in Holy Scripture prepare us for those other things that shall then pave the way for better things that come.

Now, it is up to our world of the present to cooperate with God's grace to build up a better time and place - one that is able to withstand the approaching tempest which is very terrible indeed.

Lest no one survive, my beloved friend and constant companion - let us all pray that our LORD is merciful to our suffering humanity, victims by first principle - each and every one of us, without exception - good, because each of us is capable of love and of being loved - but love is a choice - and all choice is free.

Yet as our LORD is good: This moment, this year marks the beginning of the favorable season for building - building up the only storm shelters that our humanity possesses in this inhabited earth - the shelters of Country: the warmth of human communities, the sails of human hope, the will of the human spirit to endure.

ALL the nations of mankind must become a FAMILY, live in the spirit of FAMILY and build in the way that a FAMILY builds - for the enemy that shall ride the approaching storm is not going to be a human being and shall have absolutely no regard nor respect for our one suffering humanity - whoever the human being and from whatever nation, tribe or family of mankind will make no difference to it, it shall only desire the annihilation of all: An enemy that is also writ in Holy Scripture.

But TIME is not enemy territory - for time flows not for any enemy of God. We can always rest in our sufficiency, be at peace and stir not with the stirring of war - for the wicked indeed, shall have no rest.

Therefore, those who are patient and persevere in time with the labor of our present hopes till the 1335th day shall be blessed with the everlasting fruits of those hopes that each of us shall share and experience, alone or together, near or far, in the course of this season in exile time.

The span between the two numbered days between 1290 and 1335 means that the work that we shall all become committed to in, with, for and through God with and for each other on behalf of the coming generations of all the nations of our one family of nations shall be very difficult yet, commensurate with this difficulty is the hope that each of us shall share and experience, alone or together, near or far, which shall be just as real and just as attainable as the reality of its one, divine Provider and most beneficent Giver of all good things.

Therefore, my beloved friend and constant companion, let us prayerfully ponder on this and seek in good faith the LORD of all understanding that the one Light of our LORD may become for us our guide, our own truelight, ever as we walk this mountain path, alone with the Alone and intimate with the Intimate, unto the one Summit from whence all things began and shall begin again anew.

From always to always...

I give you a new commandment: love one another. As I have loved you, so you also should love one another.
 
This is how all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.

John 13: 34-35

"What War Does to One, War Does to All."

On a Time. Times and Half-a-Time

BELOVED OF GOD, recall to mind that passage in Holy Scripture in Daniel 12 about a time, times and half-a-time and be mindful hitherto of the passing of our history in the last 2000 years.

For a time, times and half-a-time represents an individual choice that is to be made: time and times representing the one whole history of our salvation as it is witnessed by both heaven and earth in the first and second millennia; a history writ in both war and peace, good and evil, darkness and light - a record penned in gray upon the souls of poor mankind; a muted passing away of the great tides of our generations that for all of those two thousand years were witnessed in shadow by a lukewarm humanity.

And half-a-time represents the cleaving asunder of those two halves to form a one whole, absolute and irreversible choice of heart and mind. For there can neither be any more hearts that are to remain lukewarm nor should there be any more hopes that in the living remain in shadow at the passing away of the last. We are to understand here and now, at the turning of the new, what light and what darkness, what peace and what war, what good and what evil is to be had by each of our lives lived in golden light of the truth or in vile cover of the darkness; one war or one peace, life and the everlasting good or death and the undoing of all hope.

And I would that none of us choose falsely nor take things as regards to the universal dignity of the human person and the inviolable sanctity of every human life lightly. For these are the things that represent for this one inhabited earth, the responsible stewardship of all life on this one planet in our visible universe; these are the things that directly concern the most infinite glory of the one Creator of all creation, seen and unseen. Be ever mindful that all true lineages of hope have as their proper terminus, the glory of the one, peerless God of all creation, seen and unseen.

Therefore, after the half-a-time choice, upon the completion of our every remembrances of the peace, when the doors of the Now in each of our hearts are shut, nothing of the past darkness must carry over into the present - for we must each completely secure the sacred grounds of our souls - and then learn from the waning tides of our midnight past, my beloved friend and honored companion - lest, our ancient enemy - the Dragon, the ancient Serpent of our faded Eden with and through the great and terrible scourge of our one family of nations which is the beast of war gain another substantial foothold in the new age we are trying to forge for our poor world.

And I also would that none of us be lukewarm: For to suffer hellfire for not having made this choice, here and Now, while it is being offered - even while It is speaking to each of us in our hearts not yet hardened to It's beckoning - is a suffering infinitely more unbearable than the suffering of those reprobate human souls who have willfully chosen to drink from the same cup of sin as Satan and all his fallen hosts.

For to remain lukewarm is to be spat out of the reality of all human hope and to suffer without understanding the crushing despair of an everlasting oblivion.

Therefore, I enjoin each of us to ponder deeply what is being spoken to our interior self and arise to our LORD in prayer, when this choice is presented to each our faith, hardening not our hearts to the quickening call that shall bring the realization of these things to rise upon the horizons of our souls, enabling our minds to perceive with understanding the steps that must be taken to heed the beckoning of the light and make the necessary steps - even despite of our selves and in spite of the dizzying events of the ever-changing world around our souls - to trust to our hope and cling to God and to each other in God, without ever looking back.

And turn to our good God eastwards, towards the dawn, each of us walking with our LORD at the pace of our own being alone with the Alone and intimate with the Intimate, yet all of us soldiering on together as nations and as human beings - shoulder to shoulder, to allow the terrible darkness of the midnight past to fade away forever behind us.

And in our bearing of our LORD's good graces patiently, ever as we walk with our one Beautiful from soul to soul, let us never be found to be without forbearance, remembering always that our LORD calls each of us at different times of the day.

So let us be glad - being always, always thankful to our good LORD - for verily, my beloved friend and constant companion, on the year of our LORD 2009 - unto the passing into the new, at the 1335th day - come a favorable season for our building on the peace of each of our lives and through our lives, call down the one peace of heaven upon our poor world so desperately in need of respite and repair; one peace upon our suffering humanity whose universal spirit has become so torn, divided and weary; and one peace upon each of our nations who have become so alienated to its own hope.

And let us remember to rest in each our sufficiency and to be at peace, my beloved friend and constant companion. For verily, time is a flow not for the enemies of sacred life and true liberty exists not for the darkness but for the light.

O numberless stars of our Father Abraham, stand fast together in the faith that justified our Father Abraham; a faith in the one, highest of Truth unseen, remaining true to each our lineages, for we shall do this labor of hope both as individuals and as individual nations together this time - all of us allied to the all in us.

All towards a better world for all of the nations of the one family of the nations of mankind.
