I just got off the phone with a good buddy of mine. He had a surprise tax windfall of quite a bit of money. Of course, my first thing was to ask how much food storage he was planning on buying. He is a great guy, but with the kids out of the house and other things, why keep any around?? I am glad he is finally thinking along the lines he is thinking.
We were talking about how our jobs are parasitic in nature. He is a chiropractor, my current role as an engineer is to fix other peoples' screw-ups and make airplanes better. We both rely on other's misfortunes in order to generate a living. Then, there are lawyers (and I will pick on the divorce lawyers) who rely on the destruction of the most important thing God has ordained in this life, in order to make their parasitic living. There are those in the command structure of the military who get to try out new weapons systems in manufactured conflicts and wars. Then, there are politicians who are attempting to change the entire face of a nation, who will intentionally suck us into another war in order to distract the people away from the truth of what is going on - in order that they may hold onto power. These will answer for every life that is lost in a hellish, senseless contest.
Last of all - but not least amongst the gadiantons that rule in this day of the devil's temporary seat of power as armies and navies are bought and sold with the plundered treasures of this earth - are the bankSTers. These have always played both sides of every conflict, much as those who buy and sell in commodities, selling long or short; gambling on the outcomes of the fate of nations. This is the buying and selling of human souls. For this, a heavy price will be paid in the judgment; yet, for those who control things at the very top, I feel little pity - and only ask for a speedy end to the vicious game they have played on the human family.
When Christ comes, these will all come to an end. You will find few lawyers, high-ranking business officials and other "dignitaries" of Babylon in the halls of power of Christ's true church. Instead, you will find some of the most humble there; no status, no power, no worldly learning. Just simple men (and women) who have learned to walk by the Spirit. Their dress might be simple, but they will teach and lead the people with power and integrity.
In that day, the people will have no parasitic function. People will toil for their own bread and will be connected to the land. No lawyers as a child will be able to understand the law - and no one will dig a pit to entrap his neighbor. Few doctors as faith will abound and health will be a luxury that all enjoy. No money, as consecration will be covenanted - and lived. Food will grow easily, and the joy will be in preparing and sharing. Joy will be abundant - because the people will have cast off the system of Babylon of consuming upon their lusts - having to have - and will enjoy living after the manner of happiness. This new thinking and learning will come at a great cost - but it will distill on the newer generation after the older generation has passed on. This is why it most likely take around 20-40 years for the Millennium to be fully ushered in.
So, do not get too comfortable in today's systems and constructs - for they ALL must fail and not come to our remembrance. For those who look back longingly after they have fled Babylon, these are not fit for the Kingdom of Heaven and it's precursor, Zion.
