I detect you are challenged when you attempt to see the positive direction current representatives of the revelation are manifesting. We are imperfect morals after all and must allow for that in our attempts to put in place something better for the future than what was in the past. To do this requires real faith that can be sustained beyond the reality of problems we see in society as it is today. Life is but a days work, it’s up to each of us to do it well. To do the best with what we have to offer. Our gift of service is to the Father, it is his energy by which we have capacity to do anything. Task orientation is most important, self is not.
Thank you Vern for your observation here. I have found many over the years who read the Revelation but persist in the end of days and armageddonistic view long preached by the pulpit to instill fear in their audience (to control them and direct them into political activism, much like so many of Jesus’ fellow Jews, family members, and even apostles) and place blame on certain ones (like the Romans for example) for what is really a normal, evolutionary, progressive planetary transformation dependent upon the blossoming of spirit within each of us. Teeth gnashers, soap box shouters, end of worlders, fear mongers. Jesus did not rail against the Romans nor any sincere religionist or person of labor or commerce, but only the proudly sanctimonious and self chosen hypocrites who hid behind religion to hold power over others whilst proclaiming false enemies to blame for the obstacles to love and service.
I know of nothing in text which states (or implies) that the Papers have anything at all to do with any “emergency” either but, rather, that this gift has come, with specific timing and intent, to be loosed upon our world, at this intersection of time and over time to come, to illuminate the prior revelations due, specifically as stated in text, to planetary progress and the success of the angels, the Most Highs, and the Spirit of Michael. We are in a transitionary, or “emerging”, time, especially related to instant global communication and individual access to the historical extent of human knowledge!! I dispute the emergency within the perpetual and current emergence of the triumph of progress through the mortal epochs. We are taught that the world benefits from and accelerates in progress by transportation, commerce, communication, educational exchanges, diplomacy, etc. Our world grows up. It is so obvious how much progress the planetary uplifters have achieved!!!! But the one eyed person cannot see it or appreciate the success of the angels, the midwayers, and the Most Highs. Pity.
Note on above: To be clear, this tendency of some is common enough in religious fundamentalism but, sadly, is also well represented by many in the readership as I have personally encountered over the decades, especially the past few years on three distinct UB forums. I find it perplexing given the instruction provided of how important it is to be happy, even joyous, in our position as ascenders in this friendly universe. I think the authors go to great lengths to comfort us by informing us of how tedious, frustrating, and confusing mortal epochal progression can be to each generation…..for some it is even a brutal and barbaric world upon which, even they (us) can find joy and peace in the spirit and live in confidence with God’s purpose, plan, power, and methods for the material worlds of mortal birth. My observations are not intended to be any form of personalized indictment. Like Sab, we all need to be aware of how things should be compared to how they are and aspire to help in the process of transformation, whether we agree on the root problems or the best solutions to them.
The Parliament of World Religions is one symbol of this breaking down of barriers. It is glorious and motivating to see the peaceful, even eager, fellowship that believers may share, creating and demonstrating for all the world this example of unity without uniformity. There is no doubt there are many more barriers yet to be broken down….over time. We are also taught the imperative inherency of the bridge of profit motive and commerce eventuating in a codependent transition away from armed conflict. Global interdependence for economic viability is another certain, even inherent, bridge in epochal transformation. It is woefully true that greed attends profit as death and destruction attend warfare, and these transitional bridges are about as pleasant in many ways as the bridge of slavery was from cannibalism to city formation. Evolution is often this way, what comes is better than what was but is not truly good in and of itself. Evolution is a long series of such “bridges” of progression.
But we are told not to anguish and despair or be anxious as these serve neither the one nor the all. Our role is to have faith and to shine our inner light and to serve one another and all others in complete confidence amidst our confusions and the uncertainties of life. When it is written that the consequences are God’s while the sincere act is ours, it guides us to know that love will prevail for all…but it must first prevail within me. Anger, blame, despair, fear, and anxiety within the believer merely smothers the light within and provides no fruit within or to share. This teaching is littered from Paper 1 to the last page in this Revelation we share here together.
I have been most impressed by all the pictures and testimonies of those who attended the Parliament. What an occasion!! Thanks again Vern and Mark and all who serve in love….and by its power.
