Not long after I posted my last tweet, I became under the impression that all of those spacecrafts I saw were representative of people. That's what makes sense right now based on my own reasoning.
I needed to remind myself that I have absolutely no control over the situation. People may in part cling to God and desire the Garden of God, but they may also cling to the status quo. This wouldn't be so much of a problem if the status quo didn't perpetuate so much harm and inequity, and SO MANY forms of injustice. All I can do is make things plain to them - light up the path and be a voice of caution - they will do with that information as they see fit. I remember my stubbornness and my insistence on doing things my way - it was humiliating, it was painful, and I imagine at times it left a bad taste in the mouths of folk who walk with God (on Earth and above). BUT it did also allow me to foresee and to understand God in ways I previously hadn't. I could only be myself, and I do not regret any of it (not anymore).
It has been interesting watching people perceive the world in ways they had never considered before. Inequity ain't cheap - it's costly in the long run. I myself would only teach lessons on decency and faithfulness to people who want to learn (to walk with God is to walk in liberty). But those who don't want to learn have to be taught as well - it just won't be me teaching them. You are what God makes you to be, and there is no way everyone will be able to survive God's lessons on human decency. If God is willing to split the unsplittable stone for me, then God is also willing to turn the stone into iron for the sake of decency and justice. God is capable of teaching lessons to people who refuse to learn anything (of course there will be exceptions, and you'll find them in cemeteries and mounds of dirt).
It was God who created the conditions that would allow injustice to grow and thrive. Have you seen some other world? It was not man who chose to abandon God, but it was God who chose to abandon man. As such, you have no control over God's decisions. You cannot choose God, God chooses you (or not). Grace is truly grace when it comes to the Living God, and not that substitute forgery that the bible peddles as "grace", where we must follow a long list of commands in order to make an exchange for God's "kindness and mercy". Me slobbing some guys knob is like burning the lord's cash and receiving my one-way ticket to hell (such a "spirit of fear" is inherent in religion and her many gospels).
There are tools of inequity in this place based solely on ideologies (such as gender and race) and this world has been darkened by them. There is just no way God is going to be partnered with the will of man and his many judgments - not until lessons are learned. I am not concerned in any case. You see, God requires faith, but it is God who makes the leap first; nothing more is required from you than what you are given.
