I just got back from a whirlwind 2500 mile round trip to pay tribute to a man who passed at nearly 103 years of age. My mind kind of got blown when I realized that one of his grand kids from an older child is in his mid-50's - and has grand children of his own. Grandchildren with grandchildren..... I seem to recall that at the death of this patriarch, there were 17 g-g-grandchildren already in that fourth generation. Just amazing.
My wife and I have not contributed any to that mix (yet) - but, in spite of all that is going on in the world (Drudge reporting that low male sperm-counts will literally start to threaten society within 50 years, thanks to monsatan and other multi-nationals pumping the poisons into our food supply).
Then, there are the vaccine suppliers. I will never forget when my oldest daughter was in her teens was being pressured to take the HPV shot by the school nurses (paid big pharma goons and state allegiants). She had the first shot and then began to do some research for herself and I was so pleased when she realized the effects it was having on many teens and decided to forego the remaining two shots of that course of poison. The thinking being that, if the Law of Chastity were followed, it is not necessary anyway. A natural outgrowth of good, clean and wholesome living.
The commandments are there for a reason.....
I find that most cancers that prematurely take people (including throat cancer that is due primarily to a person with HPV engaging in oral sex - a baptism/rite-of-passage of sorts for the average godless Millennial), in their older years are simply STD or virally-related. One of the best hedges against cancer (not all - but many), is simply clean living - following the WoW and the LoC.
A return of an earlier cancer finally took my wife's g-pa. He lived a good life, filled with fidelity and goodness - and did not have to worry about yet one more thing like HPV-induced cervical or throat cancer in a fallen world. There is enough to be concerned with without adding cirrhosis of the liver, cancer of the throat, sterility, brain rot due to chlamydia or herpes, etc for having put the commandments of God at naught during a bout of spiritual amnesia (forgetting who we are and what we are doing here on this earth).
To be sure, I do not doubt that this patriarch had a few minor lapses (we all do) - but it is what you do as a result of those lapses, that matters. On the way back from Colorado, my wife and I were talking about those that are spiritually resilient (bounce back from mistakes and forbidden paths that are wandered down). The secret, is immediate recognition of the sin (bad path), and then to make immediate course corrections before the damage is irreparable and the change of heading is either impossible or so difficult, as to seem impossible.
I came to the conclusion that we ALL come under some form of delusion in these times. We delude ourselves into thinking that we can either get away with the sin (maybe with just a few lashes - and then all will be well in God's presence) or we actually believe the GRAND delusion from the greatest delusionary of all-time (satan himself); that the sin will have no consequence and that in the end, sin will covfefe, or win. Anyone who has lived AFTER the successful completion of the Atonement should harbor no such delusion. It happened - whether you choose to believe it and have faith in the power of it - or not.
As such, it is just a matter of letting the natural course of events play themselves out as the balance of mankind is allowed their frivolous agency - to continue in sin - or to repent and come to Christ. There is no question that Christ will, in the end, be the Victor. The price is paid; it is DONE. The only wildcard in that equation is actually us. How will we perform in the last scene of this final act??
In the end, satan and his minions will be cast to the curb. The physical reality of this is beginning to play out already. All you have to do is read the news. The events are in motion - perfectly, as prophesied. There is no guessing required - just the details are to be guessed at, until they fall into place.
In the end, all that matters is that we live our lives well and pass along a great spiritual legacy. Not a legacy of perfection - just one that could be emulated without too much shame or guilt. I have an uncle that I really love, who was there - but shamefully barked at the sisters supplying the lovely lunch, for having supplied a mere peasant's ham and not a high-end alternative. I have wondered how many people will show up at his funeral. I plan to - not only because I have a soft spot for the man - but out of curiosity's sake. Will good things be said?
How many will show up at mine? Will the commentary be overwhelmingly positive of those who knew me? This is the final measure of a man or a woman prior to meeting at the Scales of Justice. It is the earthly review - and there is no free pass on it. We all have to pass thru that portal.
All good things we need to periodically think about along this mortal journey of life!
