#all humanity

“The Church - ‘God’s very own people’ - is also known as the ‘New Israel,’ the ‘spiritual Israel,’ striving to the Heavenly Kingdom.  The first Christians realized that the Kingdom of God was not simply equated with a Jewish state or a single people, but is intended for all humanity.  Through repentance we are all called to the true Exodus - to the New Jerusalem - as Christ said, ‘Do not think that I am come to abolish the Law or the Prophets, I did not come to destroy but to fulfill’.”

~Archimandrite George Abbot of the Holy Monastery of St. Gregorios - Mount Athos

We are surrounded by voices offering advice on how to live, succeed, and find meaning. But Job offers a radically different definition of wisdom—one that cuts straight to the heart: “And this is what He says to all humanity:‘The fear of the Lord is true wisdom;to forsake evil is real understanding.’” (Job 28:28) This verse isn’t addressed to scholars, leaders, or spiritual elites. It’s spoken…

SCRIPTURE:

"All humanity will see God’s salvation.” ~ Luke 3:6

OBSERVATION:

All humanity...

My family...

My coworkers...

My neighbors... ("Who is my neighbor...?")

The guy who cut me off in traffic...

The cashier at the grocery store...

The "unreached" overseas...

The shut-in...

The shut-out...

The guy at the bottom of the exit ramp...

The guy on the big screen...

The guy in the endzone...

Even me...

...will see God's salvation...

His salvation...

Forgiving Father of salvation - Please continue to change my heart and actions - Thank You for the forgiveness of my sins through Your Son Christ Jesus - May those You bring into my life today see You and Your salvation above and through everything I do and say - In Jesus's Name, and so that You receive the glory and adoration...

As always, yours always, in all ways - by and through Him...

Ok, apart from serious shit we can hardly control, like disease, desaster, heartbreak and death, apart from that there is only one reason, divided in three sections, for all of human misery:

MASS EXISTENCE.

Mass society/procreation, mass consumption/production, mass ideologies spread through mass media, as supported by mass churches, totalitarian worldviews and parties.

Always ending in the annihilation and/or enslavement of one mass by another (or some half-hidden evil elite), hence war.

End all of it, and all human problems will be a) in principle solvable or b) for now, for us, unsolvable, but simply adding to the very mystery of life, or c) identical with the radical solution of ending us together with the problem.

But there will be no more living in self-imposed human hell.

Do not submit to mass society, do not support it and do not profit from it.

Just end it, here and now.

You are better, more precious, more sacred than that.

Every human being, every living creature is better and more sacred than that.

why does the world go round?

why does it keep spinning?

why do we keep up with it?

why does it keep up with us?

why do we have to suffer everyday?

why do we do it the exact same way?

why is all we do,

work

rest

Information

Sifting through the lost world,

in and out of the forgotten land.

Looking for information they hold,

giving humanity the upper hand.

  This information they cannot see,

must look through a childlike creativity.

ifinn you are in this creative space,

halfway to seeing the true reality.

  Those too whom bend of knee,

always knew from centuries past

worldly powers would want to see,

we…
