Hour of Crisis

For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
- Matthew 24:21

During this time of what feels like unending waiting, let none of us hold back what we want to say. For Mankind to be healed, silence will not do the trick. We must speak out as if the living spirit of God lives in us alone. The return of passion must first find expression in us individually, before we can expect as one human race any loving God to enter our earthly realm and reach into our hearts.

If not for our apocalyptic times I would not try to write this stuff, I would approach everything with a clear caution, but as it is, I have to write without disquiet reservations, or else I'm afraid I would be without a clear conscience. I must let my spirit hang out, though, not loosely and for all to read, but just enough to allow myself to see my inner transformation so I can measure my growth as I get older.

And as the violent wickedness of this age intensifies into something one can barely imagine at this moment, I must document the spiritual forecast so that in the future I can behold it as a personal-historical fact. I will commit a huge error if I lie to myself in these pages about how I feel about the current world situation. Letting it all hang out is the correct medicine for my frustrations with evil, and with men. There is no such thing as sounding crazy in times like these. Whoever is not paranoid is not thinking. And if I do sound crazy, and harbor too many misunderstandings for my own good, then what's the worst that can happen? Crazy is our best bet. There is no hope without crazy. What great triumph was not achieved by crazy ideas or crazy men? Wasn't Jefferson once called crazy for saying that all men are created equal? We do not live in normal times, so why do we continue to behave normally? It's time to get angry, and fight back against war criminals, thieving banksters, cowardly politicians, and all sheepish men.

Although I quote the Bible from time to time, it is not my guide, and Jesus is not my go-to teacher. I can't live my life according to prophecy, but only to my conscience, because that is all that I know for certain. I sincerely believe that what is to come must come, but personal responsibility is still important. We cannot throw up our hands. Small men have a role to play in this spiritual war. It is my destiny, as it is yours, to fight for freedom and justice. So I encourage you to make the most of all the time we have left, and get free or die trying. We cannot despair because with great evil also comes great men. And there are great men at work in our times, I am sure of it.

In the not too distant past, at another turning point in history, similar biblical sentiments were expressed by the Jewish philosopher Martin Buber. In his essay "Prophecy, Apocalyptic, and the Historical Hour," appearing in Pointing the Way, Buber professed:

As in the life of a single person, so also in the life of the human race: what is possible in a certain hour and what is impossible cannot be adequately ascertained by any foreknowledge. It goes without saying that in the one sphere as in the other, one must start at any given time from the nature of the situation in so far as it is at all recognizable. (Pointing the Way; pg. 206)

This is not a time to withhold something as precious as what we feel inside. We can't rest until justice, freedom, and truth all shine over us again, as the three heavenly rays coming from a loving God. But for that to happen we must fight first. I can't sleep when I can use the time to think, and in our age thinking is fighting. In place of the sword we have the word. If I had lived in in earlier times, in say, Middle Earth, the choice; the weapon; the battle, all would have been crystal clear. But this is A.D 2010, and Mankind's enemies are not crashing at the gate, they are already inside and are posing as the gatekeepers. There is nowhere to run or hide. There is no Helm's Deep for us to flee to. We have no choice but to confront humanity's darkest criminals and cast them out from this Kingdom. And there is little time. The war syndrome is again possessing the same gang of war criminals in Washington and Tel Aviv. Their drum has not stopped beating since 9/11. A world war is in the works. And the so-called grand wizards of Iran are not taking the path of peace and righteousness either, they are following the footsteps of their enemies into political suicide. War is always a trap, no one benefits except for the tricksters and thieves, who have a better handle on tyranny's deck of cards than the dealer himself.

The psycho-technocrats at the helm of our global village will seek to use this new war to direct Mankind into a new age, but they have cast their spell from the very beginning, so only enslaved minds will listen to them. Shaping human events is one thing, but winning is another. And they will not win. The New World Order will not win the hearts and minds of Mankind. Freedom will be victorious. But how will it be won? It beats me. Who can envision salvation when God himself said it would be a surprise? However brief is the fight, the end will come quickly, and unexpectedly, for it is written that the Son of God will arrive "like a thief in the night." So stay awake for daybreak.
