"They shall not hurt nor harm in all my Holy Mountain." I don't like just about anything else in there but, this statement sounds like the God I hope to know. I don't know if I'm going to make it into such a place, but just the thought of it brings comfort. God's will is not hurting or harming. Therefore whatever is happening in this world that is hurting or harming is not from God. And if I am able to separate from the evil world around me I want to. No thing of God is going to be predating in heaven. Maybe this vile activity happens here but many vile activities happen here. We can at least avoid some vile activities, and it's not too expensive. Beans rice fruit and salad, it's not going to break the bank.
I'm tired. I hate seeing those fish documentaries. This universe probably has nothing to do with God. Probably He hears us from very far away, and sometimes intervenes, but overall its like the Bible says..there's a separate god of this world, not a Most High god but some inferior being that has hold of our souls until some specified time. That's probably the thing that forcefully the animals to eat each other and took hold of this place after the Fall.
Truly that God is the Father of lights, the creative power that makes and protects and saves. We must be literally lost from Him. Or captive under this false god. Probably our captivity only ends when we die.
All these external concepts of God. What can I find out about God just from looking inside? God is not lesser than His creation. If I love my children and would protect them and keep them with me, so too the real God all the more. If I feel horrified by the animals eating each other, on my limited morality, so too must the real God. If I would rather suffer myself than my children, so too the real God. The real God probably has restrained horror over this place.
This place has nothing to do with His kingdom where there is peace, perfection, love, fairness, and gentleness between creatures. This place is a separation from God through which some of God is still felt, but not much. Only a few good things are here from God and the rest are just evil manifestations of this gods world. The abhorrent behavior of the fish clearly is the curse of this world. I can only imagine what fish would be like in heaven.
I don't know what I am supposed to do in a world like this. Love the good, hate the evil. Thats a lot of hating! Perhaps just love and support the good, and wait to die. Nothing of significance can be established here. I can maybe try to do less damage.
I guess I can try to recreate on a small, failing level the beautiful utopia that should be here but isn't. That's basically it, live in some kind of sustained protest against this place and hope Jesus comes back in my lifetime. If He doesn't just accepting that this entire place was just a cesspool of insane, useless suffering, and many horrific things. Taking a calming, eager anticipation of death as perhaps a cessation of awareness about this place. Perhaps even taking confidence in death as a sure end to this world.
Perhaps one inherits the kingdom, perhaps one is eradicated, but finally one no longer is part of the cycle of continual destruction.
That's something to look forward to.
