Rapture 78
To appear with Christ in Glory

I have a theory that life begins with difficulty. And when that theory is finished the difficulty will be carried away and beaten and made to pay for all that he owes.
And somehow I think that beating isn't going to be the end of time nor is it going to be the end of things. After all if I lived on earth and I bought the cheapest of everything in order to make do would you think I had the best of things? After all for a really poor person there would be some who think me rich. I know this as a fact. Some in the Philippines thought me rich and compared to them I was. And yet if I suffer and if I hurt can comparison be the thing God wants from us? For Jesus cast off riches so he might know poverty. Yet if his entire life was poor why cast off? Others might say that God is so rich He never knew poverty. Yet if that is true then why did God give up the most important thing in His life? His Son? If that didn't bring Him to poverty then what would?
Any father who has an only son cannot say that He is willing to life if he doesn't give up a son so that others might have life. Yet that sounds bad. Not because men don't have sons but because the others are strangers. And so the father clings to his son because he loves him. And the father then becomes the part of the heart which is broken. Especially if the son feels as if the father has forsaken. For Jesus saw that He was the true son of God. And the son wasn't just part of things that were but part of things that are. For if we know small trouble and it makes us weep then who will comfort? For those who hear of it say "It is small." But if it is small then why do I weep? I weep because it accumulates. It isn't one small problem alone but the combined lash hitting over and over again. And if someone says to you "How will you pay" for like in China they charge the family for the price of the single bullet which is used to kill the son. And even if a myth there is still the price Jesus paid for sin. For if sin were of evil and evil were of sin then who would pay for such a price? For if evil is of evil then who is willing to pay such a price? For in such things Jesus could not. He wasn't willing to pay the price for evil only for sin. Evil isn't the major issue but someone somewhere had to pay a price. Otherwise evil would be destroyed and if God created evil then what was it? Who was it? And if it was evil and God created it then maybe it was good.
Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these [things].
Now you laugh but Isaiah wrote it. And if he wrote it to us then he wrote it with intent. And it wasn't to make us laugh but to make us wonder. For if evil is a price of things that became as evil then maybe evil is something. Maybe evil was a friend. Maybe evil was life. Or maybe evil wasn't what we think. Perhaps it was of things God did. Like forming darkness or light. For in those things God excelled.
So lets say that God was in this. For out of the darkness there has to come forth light? And if light isn't just of things but of life then suppose darkness was of life? And suppose the darkest day was the day Jesus fought with those who were of vile nature in hell? And suppose Jesus had to overcome them but didn't know a way. For if vile nature meant evil then evil might be the worst thing ever made. For it would destroy and it would wreck and it would taint. And if evil did those things then evil should be destroyed. Yet if God didn't then there must be a valid purpose. And that isn't something that is wise but something that must be wise.
So if God saw that leaving evil was wise then maybe evil was not just of sin but of life. And if life was so precious God did not wish to waste even a single droplet of it then maybe life is part evil. And if we were of evil then God said "Evil is what evil was. And evil will be free if evil can be free."
And though the above isn't of old scripture it is of new thought. For if God wanted men to find that they were of evil they would think that deserved the lake of fire.
3John 1:11 Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.
So the good we do is of God. But the evil is not of God. So if God created evil then how do we remedy what others ignore? For evil is a nature of things and it must be like light and darkness. I know the saying might be true that it is always darkest before the dawn. My therapist yesterday had an unusual name. The first name meant Darkness. And the second name was Dawn. And that was her middle part. The dawn is the part of light which comes when the darkest day is there. And if I am there it is because I see only small things. I can't fight them. I fight with things but they have grown small. And the smaller the problem the worse I get. And that is a sign that I am wore out. It is also a sign I need encouragement. And yet it hasn't come. And I try not to think that it won't.
Yesterday I wrote that mom would go through renewal by Easter. I thought Easter was next month but I was surprised when I saw it was this weekend. I can speak words of encouragement and I think "I'll put off what I believe for a later time." And that really is because there always is a later time. I fight and I overcome only when God shows me what I've accomplished it is called Spiritual. And then I overcome Naturally. And then like the singer I'm alone again Naturally. And God knows I am not mad. Not even a little bit. For if I were mad I would be crazy by now. But thankfully I am not mad. It is just that where is evil in this story of life? For life is evil and I have seen evil. And yet if evil is darkest before the dawn was the dawn I saw yesterday a sign? For if it is time for Christ to appear then where and how? For I am waiting with hope and yet I appear with him in glory. That is according to what I understand.
I appear with Christ in glory. In glory is not meant to be of the giant G for God who is of GLORY. After all if GOD is of GLORY then CHRIST is of HOPE. And if CHRIST is of HOPE then I quit writing big because I would grow tired and you would grow weary of my shouting.
So I wait with hope and with anticipation. For life isn't meant to be of evil. For evil isn't meant to be of life.
Now if I share the final secret you will laugh. But so you know that I can share it and you will see it but not understand then I suppose the nature of evil is meant to be known. All you have to know is that it is on the letter I write. It is the name of things that are not seen. It is the name of those who are not right with God but that is because they are vile. And so they are created with a desire for things. And that is the nature of things not seen. And if they cannot be seen and they are not natural then you would say they are spiritual. Yet if spirit is of life then they cannot be spiritual in nature. Thus they are of life. And that means evil is things that are found in nature but not with life as we know it. And evil is thus the creation but things that were taken into sin. And that was done so God could help men. For life is of men and men are of life. And they all want it to be free. And so the freedom that is coming will be of evil but evil changed from mortal to immortal nature. And if evil is changed it may need a new name. And so that name will go from little to big in our sight. For there are things that are hidden in the earth which they see. For they are part of the things which are wise. And part of the wisdom which God lost to sin. And sin stole wisdom and took her into the grave. And so if you seek her remember she is not of vile nature or of evil. She just was curious enough to help God find a way to see an end to the vile things. And that meant she was the only person who could bear small things.
So in a way it is the latest news and in a way it is a mystery. So remember that God doesn't give up. He knows when small things drive me to the looney bin. And he knows the loon in Canada has more value then any evil thing out there. So if there are things hidden in the earth it will be small. For evil cannot see big. But if they all agree on something then it might be that evil is sitting on a pencil. And they all agree that if so this pencil is writing. For it is big. And it is moving. And it isn't a pencil its a finger. And that is an evil nature but a wise instrument of the Lord.
So think of this as you wait for lunch. That evil is everywhere and it is the wisest of things but the ugliest of all things. And that means God created the creature to look like monsters in order to find those in the future to write their story. For evil really does have a life. It really does things. And if it thought it was real, and it did, then maybe the life of a monster isn't so weird after all. Of course I speak with mystery. And I speak with thought that maybe I can figure out what it is that is being hidden. For I feel like a child with knowledge. Yet I can't figure out what that is.
