0:00:00 - 0:00:22 All right, some quick workout thoughts this morning that are really important, really important. Um OK, just to preface this. So, what I'm doing here is I'm, I'm flicking ideas at you. So, in a, in, under the law of Moses, a priest would use Hyssop, which was like a plant, a branch a and they dip it 0:00:22 - 0:00:00 in water and oil and blood that was all prescribed how that was prepared and they flick it at things to sanctify them. So sanctify is to make something better. And uh I, that's what I'm doing with, with just flicking some ideas at you, with these videos and with the blog posts, I'm doing this, I've, 0:00:00 - 0:01:06 I've used the analogy of crumbs off the table. Um These, these ideas, they don't replace what's in the books. It's just that I write, it's just a, like I am so busy. Uh I don't have a free minute, uh because every free minute, like my, my days are broken into blocks and, uh, uh you know, today is Saturday 0:01:05 - 0:01:27 , I'll probably, I got up really early. It's about six o'clock now in the morning I'll probably write until um, two maybe. And uh then I'll, I'll go do some farm work on the, on the property. I live on with my kids. I have a little hobby farm. We're, we're in the midst of tons of things. It's really 0:01:26 - 0:01:46 busy. There's always a ton to do and we just, we have these blocks of time and we prioritize everything during the blocks. And then usually Saturday afternoons and Sunday afternoons. I try to spend a couple of hours with my kids maybe two hours. Um and, and my, my wife, um and uh we have some quality 0:01:45 - 0:02:07 time. Uh weekdays aren't much better. I get up super early. I do the book thing for hours and hours and then I have to go work my full time job all day and then I have dinner, come home. Uh well, uh have dinner and, and spend home time with my family for an hour or an hour and a half and then it's bedtime 0:02:06 - 0:02:35 . So these videos, my point with this is like why I'm in a hoodie like I'm not dressed up. This isn't a fancy video, whatever it, it, it's like every moment I can catch that I can, I can siphon off. That's not the right word, partition off something coherent that um that isn't uh that is not overly harmed 0:02:34 - 0:02:54 by the fact that it's not being given a full legal case in the books. I, I make a video so that's really important. Um Now maybe I should separate that out as a video and say like, uh how to understand what, what it is I'm doing and why and why it is the way it is. But anyway, so, um, I caught this video 0:02:53 - 0:00:00 , I listen to video sometimes when I'm working and, um, caught this video by uh, this, this Tim Pool guy and, uh, let's see how to, how to approach this. So before we get to that, here's the idea, folks, we live in the time of the Great division long prophesized and to try to just flick at you some, 0:00:00 - 0:03:46 some little bullets about what this is like. So you can start to open your eyes about it and, and sense what's going on and what will be um in greater clarity and prepare your heart for it. Uh Mostly by repenting uh and becoming better. Um Here's just some thoughts hard and fast. Uh The um OK, let's 0:03:46 - 0:04:07 start with the righteous and the wicked. When you say righteous or wicked, like we're not talking about categories. You can, you can use that as a category but breaking things into two pieces. Um That's not a very precise breaking because let's, let's look at the category of righteous, whatever your 0:04:06 - 0:04:30 line is on the end, let's see, this is reversed because of the mirroring of the camera, whatever your line is on the end. Um Where wickedness begins, there's a huge gap between that and the top of righteousness, which is God himself right. And on the wicked side, you could say the same thing. Uh, I just 0:04:30 - 0:05:00 had a quick conversation with someone yesterday where I threw out the idea that, uh, you can't really know evil until, you know, love and you can't see evil beyond, beyond the degree of love that's been expressed and turned away from. So, um, what you think of as evil if you think, like, uh, well, I 0:04:59 - 0:05:21 , I don't want to get into particulars there because that's a rabbit hole. But like think of what people did to Jesus um in the face of the demonstration he provided of love. That's, that's pretty evil, right? And so if you think of something like shoving down an old person in the street that happens 0:05:21 - 0:05:45 sometimes these days, um that is pretty bad, right? So, but you can compare and contrast these and there's a huge difference between, you know, saying something offensive versus crucifying the Lord. Um Anyway, uh so, so to treat these things categorically, like there's two buckets and you're in one or 0:05:45 - 0:06:03 the other, it's very low resolution, it's not bad, but it's very low resolution. So it's better to think of these things in terms of gradients, the gradient of good and the gradient of evil and they meet in the middle. And uh yeah, so well, they don't meet in the middle. It's actually I could draw a 0:06:03 - 0:06:20 picture, it's like two wedges. So if you take a rectangle and you draw a line from one corner to the other and you just pull them apart a little, it's a gradient and one increases as the other decreases. So you've heard the line from Soltz and Kits and that says that the line between good and evil uh 0:06:20 - 0:06:44 crosses through the heart of every man that's a paraphrase, but that's true. Right? And, and there's this mix and that mix is really important anyway. Um So uh wicked people. Uh Again, I just, I've made it clear there's a gradient, right? So now I'm gonna talk categorically, which is necessarily low 0:06:44 - 0:07:10 resolution, but don't think that there's this magical separation and people are all one or all the other that's extraordinarily rare. It's possible. Uh So in the last days of wedge that drives people to the extremes, but um they're not there yet. So um this video that I'm going to put a link in and I 0:07:10 - 0:07:28 think you should go watch it. Uh It's interesting because one, it's yet another example of how commonplace discussions are becoming about civil war and secession. But um it's also a good illustration of the principle of what happens during this great divide. It's not a categorical division of a line 0:07:28 - 0:07:48 right down the center. I've talked many times about and written many times about how it's, it's foolish to consider that what's to come particularly in the United States. But this will be a global phenomenon is going to be something like a north, south divide because ideologically and geographically 0:07:47 - 0:00:00 , we're so mixed up that um that's not going to happen. Um It's very much a house to house kind of thing even within houses uh in their scriptures. That back that idea. Um So, um here, here are some ideas that I just want to throw out for consideration. The first idea is uh is all from recollection. 0:00:00 - 0:08:38 I don't have notes so bear with me. First idea is the fact that, um, the wicked, um, you'd think that they'd be real happy, getting rid of the righteous because, uh, you know, they don't like them around. Um, but here's the thing you have to think about why they don't like them wicked people don't like 0:08:38 - 0:08:59 righteous people because, well, it's, it's in line with everything else. They do. They do what they do to feel good about who they are while knowing that they're not good people. So that definition or description is really important because it, it correctly characterizes people as wicked who would absolutely 0:08:59 - 0:09:21 not consider themselves wicked and who might not look wicked from the outside to those who are uh low information people. So, um, people who want to feel good and they dissociate that from actually being good. Um Those are, are dangerous people. Um They're dangerous people. Uh So overtly wicked people 0:09:21 - 0:09:39 , people who do what's wrong knowing it's wrong and they don't hide the fact that it's wrong. They're, they're very ok with people knowing that they do things that are bad. Uh, those people are far less dangerous. This is like if I gave you the choice between meeting a, a vicious dog who was calm and 0:09:39 - 0:10:02 gave no warning or one that barks all the time. Which one would you, uh, before it bites you, which one would you prefer to come across? And so the, the quiet dogs are the dangerous ones, the, the barking ones you can prepare for and avoid. So, um, wicked people, they don't want righteous people around 0:10:01 - 0:10:27 . Um, in, in one sense, uh because of the way that they make them feel. And this is because with how a righteous person is, oh, this is deep stuff. It's important though. So, um, a person's conscience is inside of them. Uh But it, it's externally influenced. So it's not just you who controls the volume 0:10:26 - 0:10:45 on that by what you choose, although you do. And that's, that is by far the strongest influence. But the problem is that when someone comes around you that also influences your conscience, the people you're around have an effect on that. And I don't want to talk about the influence of evil people in 0:10:45 - 0:11:09 that regard. But let's talk about righteous people. The very presence of a righteous person will increase the intensity of your conscience. So it'll crank up the volume. That person doesn't even have to say anything. And so this is why uh even babies, babies react differently in the presence of people 0:11:08 - 0:11:32 who have lots of light. So that's a crazy thing. But if you've seen it, you know what I mean? Um, so animals do too. Animals do too. I don't wanna get into this, but there's a reason the animals came to Noah. And that there wasn't so much. I mean, it is a miracle because it consists of principles that 0:11:32 - 0:11:53 aren't generally known, but it is, is a natural law is throwing up a ball and having it fall back down. Uh That's all I'll say about that for now. But just realize that these are fields of influence. Ok, a righteous person doesn't have to say anything to magnify the light inside someone. So if you've 0:11:53 - 0:12:14 turned that all the way down through willful disobedience and a righteous person comes around you, it is an extremely strong judgment on your heart because if you have an affinity for that person, I'm not saying in any kind of like a sexual attraction kind of way. I mean, uh in the purest sense, an affinity 0:12:13 - 0:12:34 like you want to be around that person because the light is brighter like go right, go read John three. And this is why Jesus could divide a crowd just by standing there because some people few would want to be closer to him because of the light inside of him. I'm not saying this is a conscious thing 0:12:33 - 0:12:56 . Um but uh most of the time, it's not like you have to have a certain level of understanding and experience to recognize this explicitly. You just feel drawn to people who have greater light. If your heart is good. And again, gradient, I'm I'm speaking categorically, but in fact, these things are continuous 0:12:55 - 0:13:21 . It's a gradient. Um So, uh so OK, so when the, when the righteous around the wicked, the wicked are very uncomfortable because they've managed through their choices to reduce the volume of the, their conscience, the voice of God within them. But when a righteous person comes around, boom, uh without 0:13:20 - 0:13:40 their, they, they don't have a choice. That signal will be amplified and it's amplified for the sake of the righteous person and through the instrumentality of the righteous person. This is why when the the mighty angel visited Gabriel, I'm, I'm sorry, Daniel. In the book of Daniel chapter 10, Daniel 0:13:40 - 0:14:04 collapsed. He didn't collapse before because that light wasn't inside of him. But when that mighty angel appeared, it it that influence, that field was of glory was stronger and it exceeded his capacity to withstand it and he was overcome. Or when uh in the book of revelation, when John's visited, he 0:14:04 - 0:14:29 falls down as if dead. So um anyway, so, so that much glory is a really rare thing to find someone with that much glory. And also our bodies are like a lead shield to radiation. That's, that's what our bodies are to the glory of God. Um So anyway, I don't want to go. I'm, I'm kind of going off the deep 0:14:28 - 0:14:50 end with this. Um, and I rein it in a little bit. So you'd think that wicked people would be very glad to see righteous people leave because it, it really irritates them. It really, it really makes them feel bad about themselves. But you have to understand what they're after is how they feel. And yes 0:14:49 - 0:15:10 , you being around them, what it's like is a mirror. It's like they're very, very ugly and they don't want to recognize that they're very, very ugly and they wear lots of makeup or wear a disguise. But when you come around it's like a mirror, right? It's like a mirror and, uh, they don't want to see 0:15:10 - 0:15:33 that so they don't want you around. But at the same time, that's not the only mirror. And this is my point I wanted to make with all this. Although everything I said is really important and it has a lot of implications but they, um, if, if they, if you leave them or they get rid of you and it's really 0:15:33 - 0:15:57 obvious that the reason they did that was because you're better than them, that is an even worse mirror. Does that make sense? It's even worse than having you around getting rid of you because you're righteous is even worse than having you around because it's too overt, it's too much of an outward admission 0:15:57 - 0:16:18 and plainness of why they're doing what they're doing and who they are on the inside. This is why when people persecute you, they always come up with rubbish reasons to do it. This is why when people leave you. So Jesus said, um wilt thou also leave me to his disciples. And they said, where are we gonna 0:16:17 - 0:16:38 go? You have the words of eternal life because people were leaving him left and right. He had, at one point he had thousands of people following him and then it went out the way to nothing literally at the end. So um uh when people leave you, they're not going to say so. So it says uh the New Testament 0:16:37 - 0:16:55 says that after the loaves and fishes, he had this huge following because people want free food, right? Who doesn't? Um But he wanted to give them the tree, not the fruit, not just the fruit. He wanted to give them the tree and the tree wasn't so glamorous to these people because of where their hearts 0:16:55 - 0:17:15 were. This is we don't want to repent, read nuts, like just give us, just give us bread and fish. That's what we're in it for which is uh exactly where most Christians are today. That's what they want. But uh anyway, the the he said, no, no, no, you have to live like I do. You have to eat my flesh and 0:17:15 - 0:17:40 drink my blood. You have to actually live the teachings I'm giving you. And you actually have to be like I am in character. I just revealed a mystery to you. Um I'll speak more about it later. So, um incidentally when I throw things out there like that and I do this in my books too, but to a lesser extent 0:17:40 - 0:18:01 . So there's always a place where I'm going to explain this in full. But when I throw it out in little emissions like that, for those who have ears to hear, it's a permission slip that I can say things that aren't ready to be revealed yet in full because it takes faith to notice them and to dig in and 0:18:01 - 0:18:29 decide for yourself. So it's not incidental that I do those things. A lot of what I do is much more intentional than it seems anyway. Um And so it is with everyone who is a servant of God to the extent that they are. Um So uh Jesus wanted people to be like he was, but all they wanted were the fruits 0:18:28 - 0:18:50 of how he was. So they were just like the Israelites were with Moses. They were very content with Moses just being the vehicle delivering to them what he had paid for as far as that can be done because it's not a one for one. There's a very much a reduction. But um anyway, so these wicked people, yes 0:18:50 - 0:19:11 , they want you to go away, but they need to get rid of you in a way that doesn't make them feel worse about themselves than they already do. So they want to uh this is the way Satan is too uh in all of his followers, human or otherwise, um they want to maintain their self image, which is an illusion 0:19:10 - 0:19:38 . Um And they, so that's, that's the reason for a lot of what they do. You have to learn the strategy to be able to uh work around it, we'll say, um to the best extent. So when you watch this video, I'm gonna link, um which I, I highly recommend what they're discussing is uh some counties seceding from 0:19:37 - 0:19:59 the state of Oregon. And uh oh, there have been similar movements which I don't think a lot of people know about, but these are legit things that, that uh legislatures representatives and state legislatures have, have pursued and voted on. And um here's the thing and why, uh so they say like, what's 0:19:59 - 0:20:19 the big deal if uh like the state of Washington, for example, a whole lot of the populations in Seattle and most of the state disagrees with their ideologies. So why not just split up the state? And the reason most people come back with is because they don't want to lose the tax revenue. I think there's 0:20:19 - 0:20:37 some merit to that idea. But the bigger idea that no one is talking about and they're not going to because they don't have the basis to understand it is what I just explained, those people will not let those counties go. Not just because they want the money and they do. And also in that case, it's not 0:20:37 - 0:20:57 like having a righteous person around you because those people aren't around them and they have no voice because the legislative uh majority agrees with the ideologies of the cities. Um So, so it's not really a bur in their side to keep those people around, they get all the benefit of the money without 0:20:56 - 0:21:23 the cost of having uh organized arguments that demonstrate how, how, um how foolish their ideas are, we'll say. Um So they don't have to deal with that. So it's not too much of a thorn in their side and they get the money. But the bigger problem is if they let those people go, what does that say about 0:21:23 - 0:21:43 them? Do you get what I'm saying? It's a really important idea. So, in the last days, the division is not just a division, here are some analogies to help you think about the sorts of things that will happen and what it will look like. So you ever watch water droplets on a window and they coalesce because 0:21:43 - 0:22:01 the droplets have an affinity for each other. It's, it's electromagnetic, they actually draw each other in. Um Especially so if it's, if it's on AAA vertical window, like, I guess there's not a whole lot of glass laying flat. But, you know, if you're on a looking out the window of a car or something 0:22:00 - 0:22:24 , you'll see the force of gravity, maybe the wind blowing on, it will contribute to these things. But as they move, they get drawn together, there's a coalescing so the, the coalescing will happen. But there's also a splitting that happens and the splitting uh is not like a cell splitting, which is growth 0:22:24 - 0:22:50 and life. It's more like a cancer that's cut out and uh depending on what someone thinks and feels, they'll see certain things as cancerous or not and, and different people will see the same thing as healthy or cancer, right? In, in this analogy, but there will be cutting, but that cutting is not going 0:22:50 - 0:23:09 to look the same because righteous people are gonna want to break free from wicked people. Um because they're going to want to live according to the dictates of their conscience and they can't do that when they're in a compelled state of being. So you'll see this with employment, you'll see this with 0:23:09 - 0:23:33 education, you'll see this with where people live, um and on and on. But the opposite way. So that's where that cutting will happen. And also they'll be cast out and they are being cast out. The other way. This happens from the perspective of the wicked is the wicked will cast out the righteous. Uh But 0:23:33 - 0:23:56 there will be other ways of division as well because like I said, it's not so simple as them wanting to be separate that's not the driving catalyst. The catalyst for everything they do is to feel good while being evil. That's, that's their modus operandi. Um The, the motive of the devil is to maximize 0:23:55 - 0:24:13 misery. Uh But the people who follow him, their motive is to feel good in spite of being evil. So that's a long enough rant. But I've, I've splashed you with some things that are highly valuable. So I hope you contemplate those, think about them and watch this video and inform yourself about what is 0:24:13 - 0:24:15 coming because it's already here.
