Spiritual Preparation For War - Always Prophesy
Brothers, do not be children in your thinking. Be infants in evil, but in your thinking be mature. In the Law it is written, “By people of strange tongues and by the lips of foreigners will I speak to this people, and even then they will not listen to me, says the Lord.” Thus tongues are a sign not for believers but for unbelievers, while prophecy is a sign not for unbelievers but for believers. If, therefore, the whole church comes together and all speak in tongues, and outsiders or unbelievers enter, will they not say that you are out of your minds? But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or outsider enters, he is convicted by all, he is called to account by all, the secrets of his heart are disclosed, and so, falling on his face, he will worship God and declare that God is really among you.
1 Corinthians 14:20-25
Sometimes it is important to be a fool, even if you are proven wrong, or your predictions and sayings are not immediately applicable. Sometimes, you must be called the fool, reveal yourself for the bumbling moron that you are, because to the broken, to the sinners, to the confused, to the complicated-minded, you might bring some refreshing similitude that they would otherwise not garner. It is better to know what you understand, through and through, and even to elaborate that wisdom to other things. Wisdom is multifaceted. However, making the attempt at wise speech and even just a hot take can be a gamble, especially if you aren’t some wise elder. Opening your mouth in times of emergency is important, though. You have to calm the spirits that are running wild and aimless.
From Carl Jung’s Redbook:
The spirit of time considers itself extremely clever, like every such spirit of the time. But wisdom is simpleminded, not just simple. Because of this, the clever person mocks wisdom, since mockery is his weapon. He uses the pointed, poisonous weapon, because he is struck by naïve wisdom. If he were not struck, he would not need the weapon. Only in the desert (spiritual, figurative desert) do we become aware of our terrible simplemindedness, but we are afraid of admitting it. “That is why we are scornful. But mockery does not attain simplemindedness. The mockery falls on the mocker, and in the desert where no one hears and answers, he suffocates from his own scorn… So I overcame scorn. But when I had overcome it, I was near to my soul, and she could speak to me, and I was soon to see the desert becoming green.
There is a phenomenon of synchronicity, some type of collective unconscious, of people who have kind of gotten on in meeting their souls, maybe fixing their own spiritual woes, and preparing themselves for something bigger. In times like now, it’s hard not to see the signs, and know when things are peaking. For many of us, we are embracing the clever simplemindedness; as to hopefully reconquer the world that has been conquered by evil, and take the spiritual desert where we will throw clouds that rain meaning, plant seeds of communitarian revival, and restore a sense of virtue, where God is King, and men are only servants to Him.
It is always impossible to pinpoint a date, as Matthew 24:36-38 lays out. Only God knows the end, and I extrapolate for that to not only relate to the end of times, but even just the end of a specific regime. See, most people are seeing through a looking glass, and observing only minor pixels of what is really happening. When times get seemingly chaotic, and man has rejected God, and it almost seems like things could not get worse, the Bible has reminded us to chill out and understand that this has happened before, it’ll happen again, and that you don’t know when things will end. That is why we cannot pretend to know it, how long it will be until it happens, and how long this “end” could last. If it is the end of the regime, the end of the current financial system, nobody knows. All we know is to look at the telltale signs, evaluate them, and give as close to an innocent, childlike bias as we can, while still retaining the forethought and wisdom that adulthood brings us.
For me, the signs continue to put the puzzle together, and I feel as if I see the end coming, however, I will not be so foolish as to sin and go against God’s wisdom. However, it is mighty important to prophecy what could be happening, and to prepare one’s self, spiritually, and to meet your soul soon, because the Master might be coming home sooner than expected.
