Are You On The List?

The Lamb's Book of Life or the Epstein List? Why would I even ask such a paradoxical question? What's the difference? The difference between them is one decision. It is a single intent that festers into many bad decisions. Sin. Righteousness and unrighteousness. Men are capable of profound good and also profound evil.

Everyone is rightfully horrified by the Epstein files, but most people are horrified by the ending and ignored the process or incidents that led up to the ending. That is why no one is being held to account. The Left has their own people involved so it behooves them to remain silent about it. The right including Trump have told the populace that there is nothing to see in the files and we should move on as an American people…and many have done exactly that. That is likely because people on both sides are complicit also. It is a nest of vipers no matter how one looks at it.

No one held accountable. Victims are victimized twice. Perverts get away with their sins and perversions akin to Caligula’s reign of horror from Capri. We are in fact all somehow complicit if we do not insist justice is still sought for the children abused or killed. Instead many embrace their ideological overlords and ignore what is plainly in their faces. Therein lies a huge part of why politicians, the rich and the famous have not been persecuted and locked away. Other than the rare psychopath, no one wakes up intending to become monstrous. They make one small deal after another. They excuse a small lie, accept a strange invitation, and keep quiet when something feels off. Call it what you will. Moral apathy, intellectual complacency, cowardice, etc.

Many have traded integrity for access, reputation, and influence. Step by step, Americans sell pieces of themselves. As Dostoevsky noted, your worst sin is that you have destroyed and betrayed yourself for nothing. The quick willingness for political ideologues on the right and the left to forgive their political leaders or heroes are/were not desperate acts of survival. They willingly traded their conscience for a seat at the elite table. That is the real lesson. Not that fame, sex, money, and power inherently corrupt, but that people willingly corrupt themselves in pursuit of them. So it goes for the politicians, rich, famous and even the working class or the general masses.  

Unchecked desire is the process, while moral transgressions are the end point. IT applies to the President of the United States all the way down to the abusive drug addict boyfriend. There is an ancient Native American story that tells of a wolf being hunted. The hunter, wanting to avoid direct confrontation with the dangerous creature, stuck a blade in the ice and coated the blade in blood. When the wolf came upon the blood-soaked ice, he began licking the blade. The blade numbs the wolf’s tongue and it is thinking that he was eating, when in fact he was cutting himself and slowly dying. It keeps licking, unaware it is cutting itself, until it can't tell the difference between frozen blood and its own, then bleeds out in the dark. That is how corruption works. It begins as an appetite and feels like personal advancement or winning.

The truth is the conscience slowly dulls, and by the time the acts are unthinkable, the numbness is complete. The uncomfortable truth is that we as the ordinary people that refuse to force the truth to be brought or lazily not force the issue with the perverted relite ruling class have helped create the conditions where justice does not prevail for the weak or the innocent. The Epstein files are not just an indictment on leaders and famous but on us also.

We create the conditions for leaders, famous and rich to operate with impunity. We worship fame, we equate wealth with worth, we kneel before power, we reward the traits that lead people to tables like Epstein's. We water the tree of desire and then gasp in horror when the fruit is rotten.

Accountability matters. God will eventually hold everyone accountable on the Last Day.

Those who cross moral and legal red lines must face consequences. But punishment alone does not cure the disease. The deeper lesson is restraint. Most people, given the chance, would start licking the knife. They believe they would stop in time, but just like the wolf and the frozen blade, by the time you need to stop, you are too numb to do so. So, we arrive where we are today. Numb and morally bankrupt. We idolize the people and things that we should find most abhorrent. We hated the people on Epstein’s’ list because some of us knew that, in a way, we were on the list indirectly too because of the things we value and the people we look up to. That is why most didn’t make a huge stink when the issue got abruptly dropped.

This is unacceptable and shows a majority of society spiraling unanchored in a moral abyss. Unless we are saved by the acknowledgement of Christ’s sacrifice on the Cross, we are in effect, all on the list somehow because of what we prioritize as important and what we give our money and attention too. If we are not in the Lamb’s Book of Life (Revelation 3:15, 21:27), we might as well be on Epstein’s list.

Jeremiah 17:9 “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it?”

Romans 3:11-12 “There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God. All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one.

Stepping Into The Quantum Breach

This post is going to run deep and long. I will be trying to tie the quantum uniqueness into the Biblical worldview. It may be a head scratcher for some but hopefully if you hold on until the end it will mostly make sense. Recent trends in the exploration of the quantum world are bringing to light some strange new realities. Quantum entanglement, quantum tunneling and quantum teleportation all reveal that matter is effectively non-local. That is to say, quantum interactions occur instantaneously over arbitrarily long distances. Quantum entanglement proves that in the quantum world there is no such thing as "over here" and "over there." I will need to define a few things before moving forward.

In short Quantum Entanglement is… when two particles become deeply and inseparably linked, sharing a single physical state. Changing the state of one particle instantly changes the other, even if they are light-years apart. I suggest that this is possible way that God directly interacts with us in the Spirit. In particular the idea that John the Revelator is taken up in the Spirit in Revelation may also be an apropos example of this (Revelation 4:1-2).

In short Quantum Tunneling… is a phenomenon where a particle defies classical physics by passing directly through a solid barrier that it normally shouldn't have enough energy to cross. It essentially behaves like a wave, "bleeding" through the wall and appearing on the other side. I suggest that this is revealed in events following Jesus’ resurrection. Jesus is described as passing through his grave clothes in his resurrected body (John 20:6-7).

In short Quantum Teleportation… says you can move data, not matter instantly. It is a process where the exact quantum state (information) of a particle is transferred to another distant particle, using quantum entanglement. The original particle's state departs, and the particle appears at the destination, without the actual particle traveling through space. I believe this is what we saw when the disciples first saw Jesus after the Resurrection in multiple examples (Luke 24:36–43; John 20:19–23). There was something about Jesus spirit body that allowed him to do all the previous actions, quantum entanglement, tunneling and teleportation.

So…to surmise the first part, quantum non-locality is the phenomenon where entangled particles instantly influence each other's states across any distance, transcending the limits of space and the speed of light. From a biblical worldview, this mirrors the interconnectedness of a creation spoken into existence by the omnipresent Creator, Jesus Christ. It illustrates that the physical universe is fundamentally unified and sustained by a power that transcends physical boundaries, reflecting scriptures like Colossians 1:17, which states that, "in Him all things hold together,” and Hebrews 1:3 which tells us that, “The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word.”

What man has learned about the quantum level in the last century is that there is no mechanism in quantum mechanics which explains how particles "communicate" with each other superluminally or faster than light. The fact is, there is no superluminal communication; rather there is an extra-dimensional property called "non-locality" which implies that two sub-atomic particles separated by vast distances in space are actually "non-locally" joined together in another dimension. New experiments consistently prove that matter itself, at a quantum level, does not have a strictly "material" reality. It also has alternate reality characteristics. In the Bible I would stretch so far to say, it has spiritual or spirit implications. I suggest the subliminal ‘reality’ is in-fact Christ himself because the Bible tells us He is (Hebrews 1:3).

In these examples we see what the Biblical worldview has always alluded to and accepted. There is a veil between the world of matter and the spirit realm. There are two worlds revealed in the Bible. Jesus frequently talked about this world and the world above. He said to those who opposed Him:

“You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.”John 8:23

There is this material world and there is another world that is above and beyond this physical universe because it exists in a spiritual dimension. These two worlds are separated by an ethereal veil. Even a simple reading of the Bible shows that they are continuously intersecting yet they are two entirely separate worlds. Currently, one is the world constituted by matter and the other is constituted by spirit. At a later date these worlds will, in effect merge as all will have what Paul referred to as the spirit body or σῶμα πνευματικόν/ soma pneumatikon. Both those saved to Christ in eternity and those condemned in torment. How else can one be physically tormented without a body? They will be bodies that will have both the properties of matter/physicality and properties of the ethereal/Spirit. How else would Jesus have been able to materialize or appear in the Upper Room and also eat? Jesus’ spirit body is an example of the First Fruits of the Resurrection and a breach in the veil between worlds

When Jesus walked upon the earth he displayed the supernatural powers of the world above, which He identified as "heaven." Even when He was upon the earth He was still living in this other dimension called heaven. He said, "No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven." (John 3:13) The Heavenly Man, Jesus Christ, displayed heaven on earth and revealed the Kingdom of Heaven everywhere He walked on earth. That is why heaven was where Jesus was. The Kingdom is where the King is/was. Where Jesus walked and performed miracles the effects of the entropy of the Fall of man in Genesis 3 were pushed back and ‘heaven’, the ‘kingdom’ bled through the veil into this world. Corruption and decay was pushed back or overturned completely.

The Gospels continually revealed the Spirit world breaking into our world. The Bible continuously refers to and mentions veils. I do not believe this is by accident.  It is a "veil" that separates the things of heaven and earth. In the Bible, the "veil" primarily refers to the literal and theological curtain in the Tabernacle and Temple that separated humanity from the dwelling place of God (the Holy of Holies). It symbolizes the spiritual barrier between the physical, earthly realm and the supernatural, divine realm. It is no accident that the moment Jesus died, that veil is torn in the Temple. It is a literal and figurative symbol of the line of demarcation between the heavenly and the earthly being pulled down.

Matthew, Mark and Luke all record that at the exact moment that Jesus died on the cross the veil in the temple was torn from top to bottom, prophetically symbolizing that through the atonement of Christ the way had been made for humanity to pass "through the veil" (Hebrews 10:20) into this supernatural world called heaven when we die. The only way to approach God’s presence fully is to die and leave this earth. Here we see the truth of Exodus when God tells Moses that, “You cannot see My face, for no man can see Me and live." The holiness of God presence prevents the regular physical human from being in front of God without damaging them. They need to change states and only death allows this change.

Elsewhere in the New Testament we encounter another interesting concept that appears to communicate a similar idea to a veil or a separation between the earthly and the spirit. It never actually makes a claim to a change in physical location or proximity though. It makes claim to perception, observation or a state of being. Paul talked about a "mirror" or a "looking glass." He said, "For now we see through a glass, darkly, but then face to face." (1 Corinthians 13:12). In reality Paul is telling us that need to realize our knowledge is incomplete and puzzling. Paul picked up this idea again in 2 Corinthians 3:16 where he deliberately mentions a "veil" is removed when a person turns or more specifically focuses on God. The act of observing things of the heavenly realm changes the state of one’s perception. This sounds strangely akin to the phenomenon of Superposition in Quantum Mechanics that says that…

…observation changes reality because particles double as waves of probability. Before you look at a particle at the sub-atomic level, it exists in multiple possible states or locations at the exact same time. When a measurement or observation occurs, the system interacts with a physical instrument or fully physical realm. This interaction forces the broad wave of probabilities to collapse into a single, definite reality. Essentially, you cannot measure/observe a quantum system without physically disturbing it, meaning the act of looking directly alters the outcome to permanent reality.

Paul taught that whenever someone turns to Christ the veil is taken away and things become clearer or absolute, fixed or...determined. He also implies that when we die and reach our final state we will understand and see fully. Things will be fully realized. He then proceeded to teach that those who have turned to Christ are able to peer through the looking glass into heaven in order to behold the glory of God.

"But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord." 2 Corinthians 3:18.

The obvious conclusion is that God is on the other side of the veil. When we are faced with the overwhelming truths of Scripture and then compound them with the enigmas of non-locality, the existence of God and the supernatural intervention of God all over the Bible I believe a clear picture begins to form out of the dark mirror. We can move forward to theorize the relationship between these three fundamental realities of our supernaturally crafted universe. I propose that this invisible layer of quantum reality acts as some kind of interface between the presence and power of God (who exists in the spiritual realm) and the world of matter.

The non-local quantum world appears to be a kind of invisible, intermediate "buffer zone" between spirit and matter. It appears that the non-local quantum realm has been strategically crafted by God to be directly responsive to the influence and activity of the Spirit of God so these non-local quantum realities are capable of "materializing" into a localized spatial formation. Quantum realities are the building blocks of matter. This is an established scientific fact through experimentation but at their rudimentary levels they stop behaving as matter and become something more that is not tied or regulated by the rules of this universe/reality. It is tied to another.

One last note... I believe that we saw breaches in the quantum veil and it makes sense that this is what was being described in the Bible. I’ve already mentioned John in revelation 4 but there are even more pronounced examples. We saw examples of it primarily in two very specific episodes. Firstly, the stoning of Stephen when he sees Jesus standing at the right hand of God.

But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. “Look,” he said, “I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.” Acts 7:55-57

We also see the breach between the earthly and the spirit in Jesus’ transfiguration.

Specifically, I focus on Luke’s account to draw out a contrast of the two realms revealed…

“Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God. About eight days after Jesus said this, he took Peter, John and James with him and went up onto a mountain to pray. As he was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became as bright as a flash of lightning. Two men, Moses and Elijah, appeared in glorious splendor, talking with Jesus.” Luke 9:27-30

The word changed here in Greek is ἕτερον /heteron and it means that his face being observed was indeterminate or of an uncertain affinity…’ or of another kind’ or ‘classification’. That is why we say Jesus’ face was transfigured. Transfigured is closer to the truth of what happened than using the word changed. It implies his face was strange (not in a bad way). What were the disciples really seeing? Was the act of looking upon Christ altering their perception of Christ’s holy reality? I believe at the moment of the transfiguration reality around Christ altered and created a breach to the spirit realm. How else would Peter, James and John be able to see Moses and Elijah?

To conclude I will state that the quantum realm has brought us to the very edge of the world of the spirit. From a biblical perspective we understand "spirit" as a dimension beyond space and time. In the world of spirit all the attributes familiar to human existence suddenly change. Similarly, within the quantum world the rules of the game are not at all the same as the rules of the classical physical world we live in. Quantum weirdness is exemplified by realities that are entirely counterintuitive to the world in which we live. In the quantum world electrons can materialize as particles and dematerialize. At times even time itself has no meaning, just as it did for the prophets in the Bible when they were 'in the Spirit'.

Defeat By Trillions of Papercuts

World War III has already started. The U.S. and Iran sat down for 21 hours of peace talks this week and walked away with nothing. Trump is pushing for a $1.5 trillion defense budget. Canada's top general says we need to prepare for large-scale conflict. Mark Carney of Canada just declared that the days of our military sending 70 cents of every dollar to the United States are over. Meanwhile, corporate leaders meeting under the World Economic Forum banner admitted that the predictability that once underpinned corporate planning has gone.

The point is, you are living through a once-in-a-century rupture, and the people in charge are only now admitting it. Trump is either too proud, too nationalistic or too dumb to admit it. Western civilization is no longer on the rise. It is fracturing, and the goal now is not to slightly increase the standard of living, it is to survive the geopolitical storm heading straight towards us. People can squabble over which leader or which country is to blame, but that's like being in the middle of a bar fight and focusing on who threw the first punch, when you should really be focused on not getting knocked out.

A far more important question in a fight is who you're standing beside or with and who you're standing against. Those lines are being drawn right now. For the last decade, China and America have been competing for top position on the global markets and exchanges. Secondary Western nations are being wedged between them, and many are drifting towards Beijing. Either because they are trying to hedge their bets just on sheer scale and numbers or because the United States is starting to turn inward again in another anti-global nationalistic phase akin to the era just prior to WWII. That shouldn't surprise anyone, though, seeing as the ruling class in countries like Canada have been compromised by Chinese influence for years. Justin Trudeau even once said that the success of the world is inexorably linked to the success of China. His successor hasn't pulled back either.

America and Americans on the other hand could care less about China. We only care that our costs remain low and our sovereignty remain intact. Globalism be damned. From the late 1940s to 1991, opposition to the Soviet Union held the West together. When that enemy collapsed, nothing replaced it. Western leaders believed bringing China into the global system would make China more like us, but instead the world became more like them. Part of America did too. The Marxist Progressives, the academics and the sycophant media that supports them. The rest of American patriots and the blue collars have given a stern middle finger to China and the rest of the world. We believe we don’t need them and we don’t care about them.

Outside America and sometimes in the coastal liberal cities within the masses have lost touch with God, morals and human value. They have become markedly socialistic in on so doing have become dehumanized like China. Without a shared ideal, Western leaders let their nations weaken so long as profits rose and international governing bodies gained power. They drilled holes in the national hull while planning their exit onto the dock of global governance, like a sailor stepping off a sinking ship without looking back. That's why so many leaders lately are failing upwards. It is also why they're starting to panic now. Some are being voted out because of the destruction they’ve wrought on their own nations. Others like Keir Starmer of the United Kingdom are resigning before the rabble and riotous crowd lynch him. The illegals they’ve allowed into their nation have virtually destroyed it.

Now we see as America, the largest player pulls away, the institutions built on Western cooperation begin to collapse. As the warning goes, you can ignore reality, but you cannot ignore the consequences of ignoring reality. So, welcome to the consequences. Americans cannot continue to support a self-destructive immorality that continues to dictate its demented and depraved philosophies on domestic and foreign policy. It is immorality is destroying families, illegal immigration with no intent to assimilate to American culture is destroying communities and crippling debt is destroying American’s futures.

We need to remove ourselves from the Deep State Marxist cabal intent on destroying America from within. They're even using out own tax money to do it. World War III is being fought on our borders, in our colleges and schools and in our wallets. The foreign invaders, our own education system and the international banks are succeeding where every American enemy has failed on a battlefield for the last 250 years. It's time to unplug from the very institutions that mean our demise. We're not being defeated in a traditional ground war, we're in essence dying a slow death by a trillion papercuts that are self-inflicted.

The Brute Force of Impossibly Large Numbers

To further elaborate on a previous post about time, I now reach into not chronological numbers but rather the brute force of math and mathematical equations and formula. I do so by looking at society and probability. Some call the chances of something luck or fortune but to a believing Christian there is no such thing as luck. There is no chance. In a universe created and sustained by an omnipotent and omniscient God, there are no accidents no chance and no stray moments or molecules. There are only providence and sovereignty. There are plans and control.

Every decade, the institutions that shape Western life such as media, universities, nonprofits, government, and the arts, all grow more certain that atheism or secular humanism are the only serious worldview. In every decade, the culture grows colder and less beautiful because of the absence of God in not only society but also individual people’s lives. The soulless architecture like the Obama Library, the hollow entertainment riddled with LGBTQ+ propaganda, the art and movies with rife feminism that no one cares about, are all products of a civilization that stops leaving room for wonder. That stopped accepting the possibility of the supernatural or metaphysical. The society that has shunned God. In so doing they've shunned beauty and true meaning.

You hear it in how our godless intellectuals speak about us. Humans are not miracles wrestling with forces larger than ourselves. We are referred to as byproducts, chemical accidents, the end result of purposeless cause and effect and the output of reactions no one chose and nothing oversaw. If you look deep enough though and follow the materialist's or empiricist's own science, and you arrive at something unmistakably and clearly miraculous. Not only a mathematical miracle or astronomical improbability but a legitimate honest-to-goodness supernatural miracle.

For life to be possible at all, a series of cosmic constants, such as gravity, had to fall within impossibly narrow margins. Shift any of them even slightly, and there is no universe, no stars, and no humanity. Beyond those constants lies the precision of the universe's own starting conditions. Oxford physicist Roger Penrose calculated the odds of that precision. One in ten to the power of ten to the 123^rd or 10^{10 to the} 123 power. You can't comprehend that number, and neither can I. It cannot be written down. It’s too impossibly large. As Penrose noted, there are fewer particles in the universe than there are zeros in that figure. The number is larger than the thing it describes. Instead of conceding that God or an omnipotent designer is the cause, the atheist/materialists' answer is luck or chance. But when the odds run past anything reality can count, we got lucky stops being scientific argument or even a compelling explanation. It is an intellectually lazy excuse and escape hatch from needing to reason through your argument.

A limitless mind contemplating the impossible number, is dramatized perfectly in Watchmen. Dr. Manhattan sees every particle and moves matter at will. Yet, seeing only the material makes him cold callous and soulless. Human life starts to look meaningless to him. What breaks through the detachment is sheer enormity of the numbers…the math itself. 

Specifically, the improbability of beauty from chaos. That's what these astronomical odds look like to mere humans...uniformity, symmetry and beauty. It’s like weaving oxygen into gold. We all believe that we long to witness such a miraculous event, and yet we often neglect to realize that in the offspring of human coupling we produce a unique individual every single time. No two are the same. Every person different. Evey soul different. Billions upon billions and every single one of them improbable.

Trillions upon trillions of cells compete to create life generation upon generation. And out of that unfathomable contradiction or impossibility and against unfathomable odds, it's a human infant that emerges every single time. In a nearly perfect form, from a supposed singular point or moment of chaos eons ago in the Creation. Just luck, no plan, no design. Any rational mind sees that this is clearly nonsense.

It is in the human newborn that the most powerful materialist mind ever known is undone not by sentiment, but by the sheer scale and brute force of immense numbers. A civilization comes to resemble what it believes about itself. If the West wants its vitality back, its institutions can no longer be guided by cold nihilistic belief systems that degrade the miracle of life. We shouldn't be surprised that as a society fails to value life as it does today, it also begins to wither and die itself.

Psalm 14:1 The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds; there is none who does good.

Romans 1:19-23 For what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from His workmanship, so that men are without excuse. For although they knew God, they neither glorified Him as God nor gave thanks to Him, but they became futile in their thinking and darkened in their foolish hearts. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images of mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.

One Is The Loneliest Number

Genesis 2:18 The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.

The loneliness epidemic and our societal slide into godless totalitarianism are deeply, inseparably and spiritually linked. The numbers tell the story. Marriage rates have collapsed 65% since 1970 after the immorality of the sexual revolution. Every Western nation is below replacement birth rates and some are approaching demographic extinction. Meanwhile Muslim birthrates are on the rise along with the propogation of their murderous religion. 

Men's close friendships have declined by half since 1990. I can attest to this myself. I have only two or three close friends. The rest are merely passing acquaintances. Global social isolation jumped 13.4% from 2009 to 2024. Much of it occuring during 2020 and after. About 58% of Americans feel no one truly knows them. Every structural trend of modern life is breaking us apart and leaving us alone. The primary culprits being the smartphone and one's political ideology. This has become especially true for white males who, by-and-large have been excluded from many things socially via the Progressive Left's push for inclusion, tolerance and diversity. If the Progressives and Marxist media push for inclusion, tolerance and diversity you can be assured they do not mean white males. They are to be excluded. Alienation and ostracizing of the largest contingent of the labor force is now effectivly socially cut off from most other social groups. Sometimes even in Christian churches and Jewish synagogues. Christian brotherhood be damned.

Social philosopher Hannah Arendt spent her life studying how totalitarian movements rise to power. She discovered that the mass man isn't defined by brutality and testosterone, but by isolation and lack of normal social relationships...specially loneliness. Totalitarian states don't just create lonely people, they harvest them. The masses who join these movements grew out of societies where people had already lost their connections to family, community, and class. Once those bonds dissolve, the isolated individual becomes raw material for a cold inhuman movement to shape. This is also why it is critical for the Marxist philosophy to eliminate God and even the idea of God. If God truly exists, then man is never truly alone. Destroy belief, destroy communal interaction. First with other men, then with a man’s God.

This is why religion and religious belief has to be mocked and erased by a Marxist regimes as is being done in America today. There is no other valid explanation for what is happening in America and the Western world at-large right now.

Philosophy makes a crucial distinction between isolation and loneliness. Isolation means losing your ability to act or interact politically or as a group. It is the amputation of the ability to have influence in the world around you. But loneliness goes deeper. It means losing trust in yourself, losing confidence in your own thoughts and judgment. You are literally amputated from portions of yourself through doubt and fear. Personal emotional dislocation. Isolation is about what you can do in the world, while loneliness is about who you are in the world. The Bible is clear, we are communal people and if our choice of communality is removed another form of it will be forced on us in the form of an overbearing draconian government. That is because communal behavior is, at its root, a spiritual action.

It is also why the atheistic believer strives so hard to make man believe that humans are alone in the universe and there is no God. It creates a sense of helplessness that a lonely person is trapped in a vast meaningless whirling void of pointlessness. This inevitably leads many lonely or lost people to embrace nihilism and accept that there is no point or meaning to existence. A person that embraces this mindset realizes that if all is pointless then what is the point of existing at all. Many nihilistic and godless belief systems usually end in suicides.

While many factors may contribute to suicide, more than a century of research has demonstrated significant links between a lack of social connection and death by suicide. This research suggests that social connection may protect against suicide as a cause of death, especially for men. One study found that among men, deaths due to suicide are associated with loneliness and more strongly with indicators of objective isolation such as living alone. In this study of over 500,000 middle-aged adults, the probability of dying by suicide more than doubled among men who lived alone.

Conversely, isolation is helpful for some. I tend to isolate frequently. It strengthens me because I re-establish my connection with God. The truth is simple though; I am never alone. My isolation is usually purposeful so that I have the silence and the presence of mind to engage my God as the 'still small' and fleeting voice on the wind. It is the scenario in the Old Testament from 1 Kings 19:11-12, where the prophet Elijah seeks God in a cave on Mount Horeb. 

The Lord said, “Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by.” Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper.

God reveals Himself not in the accompanying roaring wind, shattering earthquake, or consuming fire, but in the ensuing silence. If we look at Elijah himself, he too was isolated often but he was also God's greatest Old Testament prophet. He is the benchmark for all other prophets including John the Baptist. Who, above all is the one (βοῶντος/bonntos or one crying, which is a masculine singular verb) or lone voice crying out in the wilderness heralding Jesus' arrival.

The men of God often isolate but they are never lonely. For Christ, “the wilderness” or “desolate place” often became his momentarily sacred space. He regularly escaped the noise and frenzy of society to be alone with his Father, where he could give him his full attention. We see many Bible passages telling us the Jesus often isolated to be with the father not to be lonely. Matthew 14:13, 14:23; Mark 1:35; Luke 4:42, 5:16  are just a few. Jesus modeled a healthy example of isolation with God, not lonliness. Note the difference. Even in the Godhead there are three or a Trinity. Even God is not alone.

An isolated person can still think clearly, make decisions, and judge right from wrong as Jesus did. But a lonely person loses that. They become completely disconnected. They lose context and disassociate. In losing context they begin to feel they lose importance in the world. They no longer know their place in society or in the world. They feel they become worthless not only to others but also to themselves. In a way they kind of do lose the importance they were created for if they are separated from the God. A God that wishes to have a relationship with them. It is God that gives us our value. Remove God and only men are left to impress. Lonely people become victims to the next great idea or system that they believe will give them value. Those people or systems usually end up being corrupt and evil. God made us communal. We will automatically seek that out or go crazy trying.

Unfortunately, loneliness has become the everyday experience of modern masses. Into that emptiness steps totalitarian Marxist thinking, offering simple, rigid logic as a replacement for actual human connection. The ideology promises certainty when nothing else feels certain. It gives the purposeless man a purpose. Even if that purpose is lawless, murderous or violent. It is similar to the plight of the inner-city youth begin recruited into criminal drug trafficking of urban areas. Carl Jung warned that when individuals feel insignificant and invisible, they become desperate to merge into something larger than themselves.

This psychological erosion, the sense that you're nobody special, just another face in the crowd living at some address like millions of other people, creates the perfect conditions for mass movements to take hold. Mass brainwashing. A million isolated individuals don't add up to strength. They become weakness at scale. A financial and emotional liability. The dictator's advantage over free society isn't better organization. It's that he absorbs the individual completely, taking not just their vote, but their moral compass, their capacity for independent thought, and their ability to trust their own judgment. Effectively stealing their identity completely. The more disconnected individuals become from each other, the more powerful the state grows to fill that void.

Look around you. This philosophy is being enacted at an industrial scale with no signs of slowing. Belief in God prevents this morose faceless inhumanity. In the absence of God, we lose our own identities. Within him whom we were created in the image of, we find not only relationship but also our meaning for existence. This will never be found in a human government or leader.

The Measure of Moments

We all are aware of its existence. We all feel the effects of its presence in our lives. Time. A brute force awakened at the dawn of creation. Its everlasting grip is equally effective on priests and non-believers. Time / Chronos offers no judgment, no ethics and disregards the skeptics. The path that it is obeys can never be altered by human sets of values or whims. Every human attempt to take over control is doomed to instant failure. If brings exultant highs and can also bring extinction, devastation or an end to entire nations. There are no restraints it crosses all borders and always marches forward. Relentless, unfeeling and unbroken.

It is the origin of all but God and assures demise for everyone. The scale of every human action is dwarfed by its influential presence. Like a river it is flowing, never stopping, ever growing. It breaks every dam and shreds all barriers while it flushes away remembrance because it destroys those that retain the memories. Every rule can be shifted over its course. There is no human way to predict it. All-embracing and an impact that’s never fading. Man is impotent in its monolithic face.

The Bible shows man is hapless and defenseless against it…but God is not.

Divine Control is exerted throughout all time. Time does not exist without time. Human history is inserted between two eternities. In the infinite solitudes of the past, before the birth of time, the mind has nothing on which to rest, nor can the eye pierce beyond the present order of things into the immense eternity future. Between these two there is a range of time, forming the stage upon which human history is erected. Here the mind has width and breadth to contemplate.

God made time for us by giving a chronological direction to His power. God has allowed himself to interact with humans in a timebound manner. We need to realize that before anything was even made including time, God dwelt in that eternity which knows no periods, no boundaries and no demarcation. No voice could be heard in that vast solitude but God’s. No presence but his.

Having created it, God rules over the whole course of time which He has made. God's control is observed by man in the events of time. Events take place at certain seasons, and a season is a portion or period cut from time in time. A quantified packet of time. The Flood, the giving of the Law and the establishment of Judaism, the founding of Christianity, the invention of Printing, the Reformation, the American Revolution, the Enlightenment, Scientific Revolution, the Industrial Revolution are some of the great births of eras, or epochs in time. These are the chronological joints that connect and strengthen the whole frame of human history. Humans are participants in them but they are by no means in control or them.

In the smooth course of events, human minds often fail to grab on to and pay attention to events. Conversely, great events startle men into surprise, and invite contemplation as I am doing now. Just as Solomon did in Ecclesiastes. Solomon is forcing us to take stock of it all. The mundane and the traumatic. The pointless and important.

Therefore, startling events in thoughtless world arouses skeptics and believers alike to behold the mighty hand of the great Controller of time. We take particular note of startling events by memorializing their dates. The time and the humans within it change but the divine control of it is marked by an unchangeable order in the elapsing of moments. Behind the chaos, the wars, the births and the deaths is the constant ticking of a clock as time unwinds towards eternity. This is what is meant in Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

Ecclesiastes 3:1 ~ There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.

With God there is no disordered mixture of things-no wild confusion. The craziness of the last few years in American society has been a whirlwind. Many have vocalized their confusion and discomfort over the uncertainty of what is going on. Nothing is beyond God’s visible horizon. God cannot be taken by surprise, or plunged into a sudden perplexity. All the events of time arise from God’s fixed order or allowed by God’s omnipotence. They are determined by a plan ordained by God but usually misunderstood by humans.

It is a plan that can be traced in a line being drawn by a stern and steady hand with the precision and confidence of infinite skill. We call something this structured, ordered or this regular something akin to law. The laws of nature, the laws of science, the laws of time. That is because that is the way these things are seen from our point of view. On God's side it is the exercise of will; not a callous unintelligent force.

God had no need for time. In grace He gave it to mankind. God had no need of it. He has no mistakes to repair, nor can any reason arise to oblige Him to retouch and modify His plan. In Hie vast design no element, however small, is omitted or overlooked. He has power to carry all His purposes into effect; hence such a Being has no cause or reason for Him to depart from a fixed order.

The study of nature teaches us that there is a need of such an order in human events. There is such a fixed order in the physical world, in the great orbs that roll above us. The laws of nature are regular, severe, exact. We can depend upon them in their inflexible constancy. They are so consistent that you could set a clock by them. All things in the universe are ordered by number, weight, and measure. The purpose and the effects of time affect both man and lifeless matter alike. Erosion, degradation like a flowing river wearing down the riverbed.

Divine Revelation to man, is itself, timebound. Revelation itself implies the act or an instance of making known something previously unknown or concealed. None of this possible without the ceaselessness of the hands of time. In God’s perfect timing, He reveals things to us that he deems fit. What is the Gospel itself but the kingdom of God, implying authority, law, and order in the world now. The Gospel itself was revealed and unfold in time. The perfect time or Kairos.

Galatians 4:4 ~ But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law.

The teaching of the Bible is that man, as an inhabitant of this world, and as a candidate for immortality, is completely under the control of God in time due to the Gospel. You either accept it and are saved, or you refuse it and are condemned. All choices and actions anchored in time. God is patient that none should perish but the offer itself has a deadline or an endpoint. Salvation is eternal but the offer is not.

Mortality…it is a huge timepiece wound up by the Almighty and after He sets it in motion nothing can stop it until He says that time shall be no longer for that person. But here, now, it ever vibrates and ever advances-ticking one child of Adam into existence, and ticking another out. Now it gives the whirr of warning, and the world may look out for some great event; and presently it fulfils its warning, and rings in a noisy revolution. But there as its index travels on so resolute and tranquil, what tears and raptures attend its progress? It was only another wag of the sleepless pendulum: but it was fraught with destiny, and a fortune was made. A heart was broken. An empire fell. We cannot read the writing on the mystic cogs as they are coming slowly up; but each of them is coming on God's mission and carries in its graven and divine decree. Dr. J. Hamilton

The Counterfeit gods of Bad Ideas

We live in an era of unlimited access to information. Some of that is a gift, but it has also given us a direct, unbroken view into horror and evil. The view and depth of the evil is unfathomable and horrifyingly cavernous. Cities flattened on a screen by on military armament. The curtain pulled back on the Epstein Files and the perpetrators mostly being unfettered and left to freedom. A steady feed of stories you once thought belonged only to your nightmares. Some shut it off and pretend it isn't there. Others stare into the abyss until it stares back, then become scarred and cynical or worse, they become like the evil they abhor.

But it has always been this way. Way back, 2000 years before Epstein, there was the miscarriage of justice in Christ’s crucifixion. The people knew Christ was innocent and Barrabas was guilty but still chose to set the murderer free and murder Christ instead. Paradoxical. There are the perversions and horror of Caligula, who spent seven years on Capri engaged in sadism and cruelty. Down through the centuries the evil and horrors have continued unabated.

No matter the era, there have been people so evil that rationality and logic refuse to explain them. They have always existed. As far as I can tell, there are three roads to evil. These often follow each other in order and they do so for a reason.

1. They worshiping the wrong things. They abandon God, opening themselves to false ones.

2. They succumb to warped or evil ideology or evil gods or ideas

3. They become so bitter that they resent life itself, thereby drift into nihilism.

First, worshiping the wrong things. The moment you put anything before the idea of God or try to supplant God’s proper position in the world, something or someone inferior will take His place. Man’s minds are idol making factories. If we push God out, something else will set itself up in our thinking making itself a god in our lives. There are some types of people who set wealth, lust, power, and status as his highest values and will do anything to obtain them.

Because God has been removed as the basis for morality, morality evaporates. The people who reject God not only have a proclivity to pull of moral restraints, they will gladly lie, cheat, and steal for more sex, control, fame, and money.

Once these lesser gods are attained, the godless immoral believe that God’s morality or true morality no longer applies to him. They stand above the petty Biblical guardrails. If they won’t abide by God’s law then man’s laws fair even worse. They posit that laws or rules are for the weak. At the same time these types of godless people count themselves among the strong who dictate them. They make themselves gods in the vacuum they created by rejecting the true God and the morality His character embodies. They again, accept themselves and their own thinking as a lesser God thinking it is superior.

Everyone else becomes an instrument to their ends. A tool, not a person. Dehumanization and callous action towards other people become commonplace. In their eyes, other humans or people hold not value other than to propagate their evils.

Second, ideology supplants the knowledge of God (Romans 1:21-22). These types of people, on stepping away from a God and a religious moral worldview, fill the vacuum with ideology. Marxism, transgenderism, feminism, wokism, nihilism, progressivism, anarchism, environmentalism, nationalism, capitalism, empiricism, hedonism, scholasticism…the list is endless. God no longer works in mysterious ways because he is no longer in people’s lives by their own choice to push Him out. Instead, these atheistic godless drones hold and think they control a system that tells them exactly why things are the way they are and how they ought to be. They cast and attempt to portray themselves as educated, learned and as scientific…yet are mentally, morally and spiritually as dead as the day is long.

They view the world is the way it is because of an intelligible chain of cause and effect they created and have control over in the absence of God. They sadly only fool themselves in doing so. The communists held it to be class struggle. The Nazis, genetic determinism. The ideologue believes he is entitled to seize that chain, choosing new causes so the world is remolded in his ideology's image. We see it today in the American Left Marxists and the media that tows their line of immoral and depraved thinking. People become cogs in machines, swapped out or sacrificed in the pursuit of utopia.

Lastly, we see the end result of the first two. Resentment. Those who see themselves as helpless victims end up hating life itself. They believe life was meant to be easy and every hardship was thrust upon them unfairly. I never asked to come into this world. Life is a curse, they whine, yet they are too cowardly to end it, so their purpose becomes opposing those who are truly alive. These are the people who always play the victim. They are always demanding others give to them to assuage they misery. The unemployed malcontents that attack the productive members of society. They attach themselves like parasites spreading a moral disease and siphoning off life of those who are productive for society. The Carmelo Anthony’s and his supporters. The people violently protesting the rule of law and ICE facilities.

In essence these three roads to ruin are an instance of people making God's of ideologies. Said more plainly they are counterfeit god's (lowercase 'g') of bad ideas. Ideas that both the Bible and history have shown to be failures. In the past they've gone by different names, but the end is always the same. Their value system inverts. Good becomes evil. Their evil and their parasitic behavior becomes 'good'.

Strength is mocked. Weakness praised. Wealth becomes theft and theft becomes reclaiming what was rightfully theirs. Helplessness is learned and acceptable for the trade-off which is free things from the government or the rich who want to own them. Never once realizing they are in-fact, accepting a form of slavery for trinkets and baubles. These three roads have always existed and always will. You cannot stop others from walking the road away from God and dragging many with them into the pit…but it is your responsibility not to walk that road. If you chose to do so, you are not only complicit, you can only blame yourself for the misfortune and evil that befalls or plagues you.

The American Marxist Ruse

Although I am not a fan of Donald Trump or any politican for that matter, his administration has finally launched its first substantial attack on the totalitarian deep state. For 40 years, the SPLC or Southern Poverty Law Center decided who got de-banked, censored, FBI flagged or fired by HR. Between 2014 and 2023, at the height of the woke charade, the SPLC allegedly funneled more than $3 million to different white nationalist movements, including an organizer of the Charlottesville Tiki Torch Rally. The Tiki Torch Rally to took place on the night of August 11, 2017, when hundreds of white far-right groups marched through the University of Virginia campus carrying flaming tiki torches and chanting slogans such as “You will not replace us” and “Jews will not replace us”. The demonstration was part of the buildup to the Unite the Right rally the next day, which ended in violence when a car was rammed into a counter protest group, killing Heather Heyer and injuring dozens of others.

The SPLC moved that money through shell entities, committed wire fraud, and conspired to commit concealment money laundering to manufacture the very extremism it purported to oppose. These losers are not an outlier. It is the first domino. There are many similar organizatiosn in other western nations. The SPLC in America, Canada's Anti-Hate Network, the UK's Hope Not Hate, or Germany's Amadeu Antonio Foundation. All of these operate the same way. They expand the definition of hate until it fits anything and anyone. Then they grant themselves power to police that expanded definition. Those that control language control thought. Those that control thought control minds. Those that control minds control the masses.

Then, as the Trump Administration’s indictment alleges, they fund the extremists at the edge of the definition to keep their power alive. This pattern is older than any of these organizations. Approximately 500 years ago, Machiavelli warned leaders to hide their ruthlessness behind manufactured righteousness. In George Orwell's 1984, the regime invents a false rebel, Emmanuel Goldstein, and forces citizens into a daily two-minute hate ritual to keep their loyalty alive. Criminal regimes cannot long exist without an enemy to focus the masses on. If the masses ever begin to realize that the enemy is the regime, the totalitarians will lose power or worse, be taken to the gallows.

Hannah Arendt explained that totalitarian movements cannot survive without an enemy because a movement at rest can be examined, and a movement that can be examined can be falsified. If anyone should’ve understood this is was Hannah. Hannah Arendt was a German-American political theorist and philosopher whose influential works examined totalitarianism, power, human rights, and the nature of evil. She herself was a Jewish refugee from Nazi Germany. She authored landmark books including The Origins of Totalitarianism. She lived what she taught.

In communist China, Mao Zedong turned this into policy with his Second Revolution doctrine, a war on the oppressive residue in culture, family, and the private mind the moment the first revolution ran out of formal targets. Andrew Lubachowski, living under the communists in Poland, noticed every totalitarian organization uses ideology to mask its real desire which is unchecked power. Arendt also warned that totalitarian movements take over by building parallel institutions. This is what we see now in America clearly. There are shadow teachers associations that will only support Marxist political candidates. They support transgender/transexual reading time in elementary schools and push the idea that immorality is moral. There are shadow lawyers clubs. Most prominent among them is the ACLU or American Civil Liberties Union. They name themselves in a manner that makes them seem pro-American but they are nothing more than an organization of Marxist lawyers trying to create case law that favors Marxist outcomes to set case precedence. The same pattern that named the SPLC. All the while they are pushing American towards a Communist State. That is also why the SPLC and ACLU are often mockingly called the Southern Poverty Lawless Communists and Amercian Communist Lawless Union. They are not trying to assure civil liberties but rather subjugate people under a Marxist totalitarian government.

They create scientific institutes creating doctored studies that fit their ideological lies and supports the power of the totalitarians party. Nowhere was this more blatant and obvious than the COVID scam of 2020 and the subsequent upheaval cause by the Biden Administration. By the time Biden was out of office in 2024 most didn’t even recognize their country anymore and people to this day are ready for internal upheaval even if it means a war if we ever revert back to the Biden years of chaos.

So in these examples we see a nefarious doppelganger mimicking legitimate organizations and most non-critically thinking Americans are non-the-wiser. Each of these parasitic organizations mentioned above mirror a real body and people cannot tell the difference between them without high scrutiny and critical thought. When the legitimate organization ceases power as in the transition of power between the 2016-2020 Trump Administration and the 2020-2024 Biden Administration, the shadow structures replace the originals overnight and invert their purpose. That is exactly what we saw in November of 2020. Orwell described the same pattern in 1984. The Ministry of Truth manufactures lies and rewrites history. The Ministry of Peace runs permanent war. The Ministry of Plenty engineers the scarcity that keeps the population dependent. The Ministry of Love handles surveillance, interrogation, and torture.

Properly identified American Marxism or Cultural Marxism describes left-leaning social, academic, or political movements. From their perspective, they are performing a "ruse". This ruse refers to the idea that progressive policies such as Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives, or identity politics are deceptively packaged as benign civil rights efforts, but are fundamentally designed to undermine traditional American values, free markets, and the US Constitution. It is an intentional Marxist shift to subvert Western society from within rather than through direct economic revolution or actual physical and violent war.

As counterintuitive as it seems, in the West, anti-hate groups fund hate groups. The SPLC indictment is the first public audit of what happens when a shadow institution operates for 40 years inside a democracy that never noticed it was there. The question now is, can the West realize the so-called anti-fascists like Antifa and those protesting outside of ICE facilities are actually Communist revolutionaries before it is too late?
