Greetings Matt! Thank you for the kind words. Although I will be the first to tell you that I am nothing special, I will take to my grave the conviction that YHWH reached out to me, showed me some very tough love, humbled me until my despair was beyond what I could bare alone, in order to break my resistance. I imagine some of the folks here have had similar experiences.
I had long come to the conclusion that the “arm of the flesh” was far too short to save our race from extinction. This was the source of endless depression and anger. Eventually I came to the point to where I tried to adopt a “fiddle while Rome burned” philosophy, the defeatist mentality of the walking dead. This didn’t work. Everywhere I looked were the reminders of this contagion of mindlessness that afflicts our people. There was no escaping it. All I or anyone else seemed capable of doing was flailing about helplessly boiling in our own toxins while the rest were happily herded toward the slaughterhouse.
This explains the joy I felt finding out who we are, why this is happening and most importantly, the ultimate outcome: that we will reign with YHWH! I am at a loss to explain the burden that was lifted from me. I am still moved to tears by passages such as Isaiah 60, the book of Obadiah, Revelation 3:9 and many others that illustrate our victory in this struggle.
Thanks again for welcoming me and sharing your thoughts. I have enjoyed reading your many posts on this forum. Yah Bless!
