What's going on, tell me what's going on

The calm before the storm

December 2, 2023 and dead broke again but pay day comes ‘round from a convention gig next Friday for a small sum paying my cell phone bill. I own this cell phone not by choice but by fate which took my wife away leaving me with certain situations. And so it is with all. Fate and propaganda sculpt our perception using our hands. Even dead ass broke. Being broke shoe fits snugger and curiously is on the wrong foot as well but won’t come off. No money for the exorcist to help, Kaiser wants to cut the leg off, my new medical plan covers transgender surgery and orthopedic help for FTM with a big 10” but won’t take the shoe off. Crazy huh. No way Jose. No fucking way.

Bit by bit forms and energy assemble governed by the varied laws of human. behavior…the Founders were not fools. Nor were they abstract thinkers regarding the Rights of Man to live with no state. However their form of governance gave rise to Federal Empire which was the 18th century objective now accomplished in a Borg like fashion going global by all means possible as seen in nature.

And here it is in late 2023 as all falls down making room for the new multi-being world as multiple synthetic biologies dwell with us to include semi-sentient machines and synthetic humanoids. The WEF boys get it and they try to influence and leverage the materialist states big and small but a state organism has many factions and not all factions align or even could agree. Until Covid.

We are no longer Christian. The globe converted en-masse to Covidian Zionism. Constantine returned in this sense of myth. Orthodoxy. Constantine as emblematic of the majesty of the Total State. Constantine, the Holy State, alone is Truth. The servants of this Ecclesiastic secular order are emissaries of truth. Dr. Fauci stands on State Truth.

From Wiki: "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" is a sermon written by the American theologian Jonathan Edwards, preached to his own congregation in Northampton, Massachusetts, to profound effect,^[1] and again on July 8, 1741 in Enfield, Connecticut. The preaching of this sermon was the catalyst for the First Great Awakening.^[2] Like Edwards' other works, it combines vivid imagery of Hell with observations of the world and citations of Biblical scripture. It is Edwards' most famous written work, and a fitting representation of his preaching style.^[3] It is widely studied by Christians and historians, providing a glimpse into the theology of the First Great Awakening of c. 1730–1755.

This was a highly influential sermon of the Great Awakening, emphasizing God's wrath upon unbelievers after death to a very real, horrific, and fiery Hell.^[4] The underlying point is that God has given humans a chance to confess their sins. It is the mere will of God, according to Edwards, that keeps wicked men from being overtaken by the devil and his demons and cast into the furnace of Hell – "like greedy hungry lions, that see their prey, and expect to have it, but are for the present kept back [by God's hand]." Mankind's own attempts to avoid falling into the "bottomless gulf" due to the overwhelming "weight and pressure towards hell" are insufficient as "a spider's web would have to stop a falling rock". This act of grace from God has given humans a chance to believe and trust in Christ.^[5] Edwards provides much varied and vivid imagery to illustrate this main theme throughout.

SINNERS IN THE HANDS

OF AN ANGRY GOD

Their foot shall slide in due time (Deut. xxxii. 35).

In this verse is threatened the vengeance of God on the wicked unbelieving Israelites, who

were God’s visible people, and who lived under the means of grace; but who, notwithstanding

all God’s wonderful works towards them, remained (as ver. 28.) void of counsel, having no

understanding in them. Under all the cultivations of heaven, they brought forth bitter and

poisonous fruit; as in the two verses next preceding the text. The expression I have chosen

for my text, Their foot shall slide in due time, seems to imply the following doings, relating to

the punishment and destruction to which these wicked Israelites were exposed.

That they were always exposed to destruction; as one that stands or walks in slippery places

is always exposed to fall. This is implied in the manner of their destruction coming upon

them, being represented by their foot sliding. The same is expressed, Psalm lxxiii. 18.

“Surely thou didst set them in slippery places; thou castedst them down into destruction.”

2. It implies, that they were always exposed to sudden unexpected destruction. As he that

walks in slippery places is every moment liable to fall, he cannot foresee one moment whether

he shall stand or fall the next; and when he does fall, he falls at once without warning: Which

is also expressed in Psalm lxxiii. 18, 19. “Surely thou didst set them in slippery places; thou

castedst them down into destruction: How are they brought into desolation as in a moment!”

3. Another thing implied is, that they are liable to fall of themselves, without being thrown

down by the hand of another; as he that stands or walks on slippery ground needs nothing

but his own weight to throw him down.

4. That the reason why they are not fallen already, and do not fall now, is only that God’s

appointed time is not come. For it is said, that when that due time, or appointed time comes,

their foot shall slide. Then they shall be left to fall, as they are inclined by their own weight.

God will not hold them up in these slippery places any longer, but will let them go; and then

at that very instant, they shall fall into destruction; as he that stands on such slippery declining

ground, on the edge of a pit, he cannot stand alone, when he is let go he immediately falls

and is lost.

The observation from the words that I would now insist upon is this. “There is nothing that

keeps wicked men at any one moment out of hell, but the mere pleasure of God.” By the

mere pleasure of God, I mean his sovereign pleasure, his arbitrary will, restrained by no

obligation, hindered by no manner of difficulty, any more than if nothing else but God’s

mere will had in the least degree, or in any respect whatsoever, any hand in the preservation

of wicked men one moment.

The truth of this observation may appear by the following considerations.

There is no want of power in God to cast wicked men into hell at any moment. Men’s hands

cannot be strong when God rises up. The strongest have no power to resist him, nor can any

deliver out of his hands.—He is not only able to cast wicked men into hell, but he can most

easily do it. Sometimes an earthly prince meets with a great deal of difficulty to subdue a

rebel, who has found means to fortify himself, and has made himself strong by the numbers

of his followers. But it is not so with God. There is no fortress that is any defence from the

power of God. Though hand join in hand, and vast multitudes of God’s enemies combine

and associate themselves, they are easily broken in pieces. They are as great heaps of light

chaff before the whirlwind; or large quantities of dry stubble before devouring flames. We

find it easy to tread on and crush a worm that we see crawling on the earth; so it is easy for us

to cut or singe a slender thread that any thing hangs by: thus easy is it for God, when he

pleases, to cast his enemies down to hell. https://www.jonathan-edwards.org/Sinners.pdf
