There is much confusion [babel] in this world. Consider that there can be no one-world religion until the people REQUEST it. So it seems the Powers That Be are allowing chaos so that the end result would be that the peoples of our world would beg for a solution. Of course there has been an ongoing social relations program to "teach" the people to place their trust in their leaders. False shepherds....
Joh 10:12 But the hired servant, and not being the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, vieweth [with a fixed gaze] the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf snatcheth them away, and scattereth the sheep.
Joh 10:13 The hired servant fleeth, because he is an hired servant, and is not himself concerned about the sheep.
Of course the media has never been known to present the story in deceitful terms. One day I had the privilege of riding "shotgun" with my brother in law who is a police officer. The amount of mayhem he encountered in the little time I was with him was amazing to me. In fact in almost every situation we encountered liars, drunks, thugs, rebels. It is no wonder the police are so quick to defend themselves - it is sad and reflects greed, lust and fear.
Considering a body of a man to be in analogy a body of a state/kingdom, consider the following:
Jas 4:1 From whence come wars and whence fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your pleasures that war in your members?
Jas 4:2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and covet earnestly, and are not able to obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, on account of your not asking.
Jas 4:3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask with evil intent, in order that ye may spend it in gratifying your pleasures.
Therefore as we war within ourselves to be satisfied, naturally this war will manifest without as well. Society is SICK.
Isa 1:2 Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD hath spoken [articulately], I have nourished and brought up sons, and they have rebelled against Me.
Isa 1:3 The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel doth not know, and My people doth not consider.
============
This flesh tabernacle is not me. It is a vessel that I reside in. It was created and granted to me to make a use subject to the terms of use. It is therefore a PERSON. Now consider the State too creates Persons and those Persons are setup for one to take up Residency within making a use subject to the established terms of use.
The Flesh is not mine [Gen 1:1, Gen 2:7]
The Soul is not mine [Ezekiel 18:4]
The spirit is not mine [Eccl 12: 6-7]
Choices are all that I have. I see REBELLION.
================
Isa 1:5 Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.
Isa 1:6 From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with oil.
Isa 1:7 Your country is desolate, [and] your cities are burned with fire: your soil, foreigners devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by foreigners.
Yep, look around you today.
Php_3:19 Whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly [own self], and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
Is it no surprise to see such violence manifest in this day? Is it merely the fault of the officer? I think not. If I harm my neighbor, I harm you. We are in this together.
Shalom,
