I know the tendency of concern. That if its free and from the government...run...lol. I think Elon is government now, yeah? Just barrowing a paraphrase from Reagan. So this is one of the reasons I guess I am a die hard sociologist. When I studied rhetoric in school, my favorite philospher was none of the super familiars. Rather it was Ernesto Grassi. He tended to look at philosphy as something that comes from culture. Out of the daily grind. A much different approach than general scholarship seeing it as a huge field of deep, and contemplative matters. Grassi was like, "I'ts magically delicious." Or, "Can you hear me now?" Or, "Where's the beaf?" ...as philopshy. You gotta love a party crasher like that...lol.
He took the high brow condescending discipline of philosophy and made it into McDonald's arc fastfood version of philosophy. There is almost a romantically humorouos feel to it all. The reason I bring it up is because it is like, wow, I sometimes think, "What if God was into sky writing poetry with His little finger?" Like what would it look like if God used our commons to speak into our cultural moment? I would think with His "the thing that is not becomes the thing that is" motif...it might look somewhat like a Grassi style

I believe unfree internet and globalist world robbery might likely have seen its day. I believe we will likely see what world free enterprise was suppose to truly look like. I realize saying this on the verge of tribulation is kind of too alt like. Or maybe might come across as squimish. But if countering eschatological norms would be a paying gig...I belive there would be employment for me there until we rapture. No shortage. And its totally underserstandable why. I don't believe so much that it may not be in scripture. I would just see it more like the paradigms and hermenuetics popular in our day may be somewhat foreign to a notion of what peace and safety this side of the tribulation might parce out like.
Some old school homegrown hermeneutics might be like: Jeremiah "Get captured by Babylon and do good for her." This ultimately was for Israel's obedience to God, but also for their well being. The alternative was not in His will. But even capture for Israel (even though their city Jerusalem and temple were destroyed), was, I believe, potentially a good thing. Because it gave them time to listen and flourish. So much so, they kind of got pretty used to the groove. But during that time all manner of revelation came so so so alive. Maybe more so then they had in their homweland. In ways. Like the literal timing of their Messiah diclosed. In a sense, we could say because Isreal was captured by Babylon, it provided a platform for a foreign alter of sorts by which all of the age we face now had been dispensed from. Moses with the 10 commandements from Mt. Saini. And Ezekiel/Daneil and the post exilic prophets from the mantle of a foreign land, Babylon (or in the exelic sense--coming from having been stationed there). Interesting to note that Babylone was a location God seemed to refer to as housing His throne home dwelling of sorts. Not that God would say, "Babylon is His throne room." Heaven's no. But that the depiction of wheels and such that some attribute to alien craft or something (found in Ezekiel), seems to domestically be just describing the throne of God to be where He had commanded His people to be captured, in Babylon. And that God would prophesy outside the temple. In gentile territory. And boy oh boy did He ever prophesy. But all this is a fascinating observation. Where He prophesies about Israel's 70th week, but on the heels of 2k years of gentile dispensation of His word, instead of the Jews having been in their hometown when all those prophesies went down). So Israel's capture became the theater of prophesy given about us gentiles stepping up to bat (at least from the standpoint that Israel's 70th week would be on the heels of the end of the gentile age. Pretty fascinating to consider.
Another homegrown hermeneutic would be when Christ came. The way the Israeli leaders took it was an imposing on their religions system. But Christ's coming for them was meant to be a very good thing. Had Israel not rebelled, it might have been so that they saw their kingdom rule perhaps much sooner after Christ's rise from the dead. But then of course the impossible question of how then would Christ have ever been put to death. In any event, it was a good thing for Israel that their messiah came. But they did not see it as good. Nor did they see Babylonian capture as good.
And now, as the church is the family of God, the ones to deliver His word, we are told it will be bad for Israel in their 70th week. And we see it coming. And we know where everything leads, amen. I can understand why what I am sharing is not take into much account. Because what happens in the tribulation will tend to drown out the good things prior to a degree of course. But, that is coming on the wings of "for Israel." And of course yes the rest of the unbelieving world. But like God not destroying the city of Sodom while Lot remained, we have this somewhat as a homegorwn hermenuetic potential of sorts perhaps. I don't bring it up to be a broken record of sorts. Just that I truly believe there is tremendous potential value and spiritual fruit possibility in understanding as we might the age God has brought us into for us as well. And while we are seeing things that may trend certain ways in the tribultion, they more likely have a very different and perhaps extremely unique meaning for us in our day.
We can tend today to either hear how things go into the tribulation from here. Or we hear of those with an entirely different eschatology thinking things get better and better until the Lord returns (omitting the tribulation altogether). From the way it looks, I would imagine this divide to likely increase. As each side of that equation might see more of the domestic views associated with those varying eschatology most domestically salient to that eschatilogical views. But the reason I kind of keep bringing this sort of thing up here and there is because there has not yet come a day to rule out what an emmenssly blessed time we live in--might just be. A time to likely see justice, flourishing, and peace on earth. We see maybe ww3 on the verge of starting. We see grand overtures to many things in our day that by all sober sense would seem to become bad soon enough. But if they get better, it would not be a surprise to me. And if so, I guess I would be interested to come along side that maybe of the minority voice of: before the week of terror, it looks like God is not keeping it a secret that we might be really blessed. Well, this is how I am taking it. And its not because I don't see it in His word. For it would seem 1st Thes would attest to a time of peace and protection for the children of the light signifying our age more than a headlong dive into the tribulation. For it would seem we might see blessing even as the children of the light won't be taken by surprise.
To me, we are in warfare already with globalism. Elon having satellites may do something evil in the tribulation age. But for our age, I would tend to see them as good. And if there is some alterior motive meant by "free," I would see we are too close to the tribulaiton to be concerned what that might end up being like then. It just makes sense to me that it could be noticed to also have value of its own in our own age. But in honesty, I have not really seen the eschatology crowd grant some form of permissive view on that. Which I do find a little unusual. But I guess I understand it. In the ways I have been thinking it would make total sense that Elon's satiites provide communications globalists cant down. They are cheap to make and he can keep throwing them up there if destroyed. It would make sense that if info might be coming out down the road about the globalist criminal enterprise, it would be wise to have communications in place before going after people. This may seem like some self styleized view, but if so it took 8 years to get here. But the thing beyond a notion is that, here, is where we exactly are. It could be just ironic rhetorically. Or it could be that we could have seen it coming in ways almost a decade ago. We will have to see, but where we are now is where we should be exactly if things do get better for a time. And I just guess for what its worth, if things go in that direction, it does not have to be much of a quagmire. But as simple as: The gentile church age benefitting because so will Israel. For us, a restvit. For them, doom. And if that is what is occuring according to 1 Thes, it would be of endearing and personal amazement over how organically beautiful God might have seasoned the church with His word 2,000 years prior to its arrival. I guess we will see. But I don't really hold to this sort of thing as just a fleeting observation. But an almost decade old unfolding. Of course this could be gravely mistaken. So far, not really....lol. I guess we will see. But in the strange case of 1 Thes being of huge hugging significance to the gentile world in Him for our day, what would then be likely I would guess is: Elon's satellites will secure communications for when info provided against the globalsist regime will drop.
If we were the Mafia and owned all the judges and all the buraucracy of the land, it would do absolutely no good to provide real and true details against them. For they would just absorb all of that into their system and like pearls before swine, turn and stampete us. But if we the Mafia lost our foothold on the town or county...and could not use our buraucracy as effectively, that would be where we would then be truly volunerable. And info against us would...stick. Espceically if the surrounding communities have had just about enough of the Mafia running everything. But I understand the end would not seem to collide with such rich fortune. There are a handful of ways to think upon that biblically though I believe. One would be from the Romans principle. In that book, the church came about because Israel ran herself into great misforune. That of running her Messiah out of town. For them, misfortune. For us, riches. And then this principle:
Romans 11:11-13
11 Again I ask: Did they stumble so as to fall beyond recovery? Not at all! Rather, because of their transgression, salvation has come to the Gentiles to make Israel envious. 12 But if their transgression means riches for the world, and their loss means riches for the Gentiles, how much greater riches will their full inclusion bring!
13 I am talking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am the apostle to the Gentiles
I realize this is not a conventional use of Biblical principle. But it might seem to suggest a time nearing when Israel will be upon her refining moment to perhaps be greater riches for the gentile world -- like at its climax. Well, if God where to supercharge this sentiment...it would the gentile world become exceedingly blessed perhaps in the wake of her true to life refinement journey to be at that place where they will say, "He who comes in the name of the Lord." This might seem odd to view this passage relating. I realize it is contextually not eschatological in principle. But it is in substance. And if substantive, I don't know. I think we have seen plenty of places where the line between substantive and eschatological is often how things can be in word premise and carry exponential value. On the pure merits of hermeneutic soundness, perhaps taking a bit too much poetic license. Amen. But when merged with Providence (as the church is born out of providential opportunity from Israel's demise), its not that much of a stretch perhaps. The proof of course bing in the pudding.
So I dunno. Let's see if these satalites don't serve use in the season to come as protective communication against a dark system we are all too familiar with having no interest whateverser for us to be properly informed or be able to communicate with each other well in the midst of their undoing. Something absolutely the opposite of what we have seen. With Facebook censoring and YouTube censoring and network media feeding us junk food news much of the time. In theory, there is a trajectory of sorts afoot in ways. It would make sense why it be viewed as hope in the temporal. Because it would not seem an act of God is due in an age just before the tribulation. But providentially, if it were a plump lady at the opera...she would totally likely sing, i'm thinking.
. . . . .
In any event we shall see. But I don't think its exactly unhealthy to consider. Especially if things "continue" to move in this very same direction it seems to have been doing for almost a decade now. Something we might be challenged on all levels by of the notions most of us likely hold differently. But that seems to be par for the course when God is about to act as a rule it would seem historically. So, I appreciate, in any event, the patience with me here. I just at times feel something of this genre might be helpful potentially along way. Not really knowing how long open internet channels may stay in place. Or how life changes for any of us. Just thought to occasionally put it out there in the event opportunities change to a degree. Thanks for your post. My searching for articles cannot keep up with you...lol. So glad you so dearly post so much for us dear sister. Amen.
Blessings.
