“And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. And the LORD said, Behold, the people is now, and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they imagined to do.
Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech. So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.”
Genesis 11:7–8
Whence the brightness of the glory of God, the Christ of God, Jesus, walked the earth, the ruling government and religious order of the region, even Rome and as it was the nation state of Israel being tributary to Rome, was as of that time perplexed because of the ‘angle of power’ through which Jesus approached the people; though Almighty God the Father is the center of all power, principality and dominion, he sent himself as the Sun of God, who has majesty with God, and sits in the place of God, even he, ‘The Word and Spirit of God the Father’ in the flesh, as lowly of heart, with holy meekness unto God’ without a mandate to disrupt the political government and economic framework of that time; a centralized and decentralized assortment of powers subservient to the Ceasars of Rome, but with a clear purpose to wake up the people’s hearts and to revitalize their souls through compassion, brotherly love anchored in the Word and Spirit of God and his promises. That is, Jesus spoke on the things of the inner person and our relationship, or lack of relationship to the true and faithful Creator of heaven and earth. In that sense, the Christ of God, dislodged the power of ‘spiritual Rome’ and ‘spiritual Egypt’, of ‘spiritual Chaldea’ and ‘spiritual Babylon,’ through the proclamation of liberty to the broken hearted who are contrite in spirit, to the prisoners who are captive in mind and heart unto the hopeless life offered by the ways and means of the Ceasar and Pharaoh, presenting instead truth, life, and the way of hope, insomuch, that Jesus was thronged as a superstar by multitudes of people, beyond ten and fifteen thousand at a time, both healing them physically, feeding thousands upon thousands, and speaking of repentance and forgiveness.
His miracles are well-known, of giving sight to the blind, the ability to walk to the lame, soundness of hearing to the deaf, speech to those who could not speak, refuge from death unto the repenting sinners (Mary Magdalene), justification to the contrite in spirit, (the publican), healing from disease to the ailing (the son of the Centurion), soundness of mind to the lunatick, and life from death unto those who had died, (Talitha and Lazarus). Jesus healed countless scores of people who’s faith in him healed them once they touched the edge of the border of his garments. Such divinity in and of itself, overturning the narrative of socio-economic oppression presented of by the centralized Roman monarchy that controlled the centralized-decentralized political power structure of the ruling religiosity of the Pharisees and kingship of the Herodian tetrarchs. Jesus ignoring them, presenting no direct confrontation unto them; not asking the people to overthrow the present government, nor himself becoming a militant revolutionary, but though his ministry of supplication, speaking directly with all that they live with hope unto God in love and in truth, ministers of the purposes of the Lord unto the faithful, and proclaiming liberty through Christ Jesus unto all, whom brought forth grace and truth; that is, brought forth the ope of salvation through justifying those who have faith in the righteousness of God, rather than adherence to only the literal following of the law of God, without the graciousness and love of God in them, that they be fountains of the fruit of the spirit in both Word and Spirit.
And so, the ‘pure language’ of God, as fulfilled and finished in Christ Jesus, layed and establishes the work of God in our hearts through his Sun of Righteousness as the foundation of a life with the Holy Spirit; yea, abounding and brimming with divine goodness and joy with thanksgiving unto God. The dead spirit of this world, even the ungodliness of vanity and covetousness with hard-heartedness that affronts against God, in all his glory; ever striving ‘unlawfully’ to establish its own foundations created with ‘untempered mortar,’ can never bring hope, nor realize true strength because it is constructed through the oppression of the many, that a few may live in glory for a season; God ultimately declaring the end from the beginning, finding that they way of the ungodly shall perish, but the way of the righteous God knows and preserves.
Jesus, through his good works, even raising himself into immortality, showing what way we should walk in that we live with divine purpose according to the Word and Spirit of God, whom is Jesus in flesh; having proved what only God can prove, even, strength of eternal life and the resurrection from death, and the divine power of healing, that we might be able to have faith in him; this being accounted unto us as his Spirit of Righteousness in us; leaving off ‘vain janglings,’ and oppositions against God, which profit not, that we might become light-hearted, shouldering the easy burden of God, as presented by the author who is the finisher of our faith, Jesus Christ the Lord; that burden being sacrifices of joy.
So be such understanding, that we establish no other foundation in our mind or construct any form of false hope in us, nor in our community, nor in any nation, nor subscribe ourselves as citizens of the world after any centralized-decentralized economic system of ‘new world order’ in humanity’s future, except it be through the divine revelation of the Word and Spirit of God in its complete form as presented in the authorized King James Holy Bible. Yea, the love and joy of God having nothing to do with the begetting of material wealth and riches, of great homes, or pleasant things, and everything to do with the strength of the power of God flowing through us because of our unequivocal, dross-less faith in Jesus Christ, that he and none other be established on the throne that God the Father has set within us for his Sun, the Light of God. Ceasar, nor Pharaoh, nor what they offer ever bringing divine understanding or being able to establish peace, love, joy, goodness, gentleness, or faith in anything beyond serving them, their changing ways and their palace life, whereas leaving the fearful multitude desolate without liberty, and with nothing.
Therefore, seek the face of God who does supplicate unto us through the Spirit of His Word, that we be at peace with him, and in making peace with God, finding we are alive in Spirit, and free from being under this world, finding ourselves as elect and precious of God, accepted and loved with Christ in us; us rejoicing as his strong and mighty unto all good works that we, as ambassadors of the Lord, in all holy meekness and carefulness that vanity and covetousness not be in us, express the pure language of God, even the ‘new song’ in us, sacrifices of joy because we are thankful to God for his graciousness unto us, who has moved our hearts to call unto him that we might seek him and be at peace with him, and so, no longer constructing a finite life after the rudiments of this finite world, but an infinite life in the way, truth, and life of God through the pattern and example of the Lord Christ Jesus.
