Visualize revolution by Carol Wolman

I'll let you know if this headline brings Homeland Security knocking at my door.  If you don't hear from me for a while...

^{Mark 10: 31}But many that are first shall be last; and the last first.

 

Psalm 37:11
But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

 

Imagine that the world was really ruled by Christ.  What would it be like?  For one thing, wealth would be divided evenly among people, instead of the enormous, accelerating concentration of wealth in a few hands now going on.  For another, there would be peace.  The bullies, the predators would be last and the meek would be first. 

 

In a world ruled by love, life would be cherished, not as a fanatic defense of first trimester embryos, but as an interwoven ecosystem in which every being would have its opportunity to grow and enjoy this good green earth.  In a world ruled by justice, disputes would be settled fairly, resources would be shared and responsibilities would be meted according to talent, not according to wealth or influence.

 

How do we get from here to there?  It will take a spiritual, nonviolent revolution.  It will take a willingness to die so that life may continue, a willingness to be martyred as the great upheaval takes place.  It will take an understanding by each of us, one by one, of our role in the great drama now unfolding. It will take a dedication to life. 

 

For the rapture folks have it backwards.  God tells us to choose life, not pie in the sky.

 

^{Deut. 30: 19}I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live.

 

In the name of the Prince of Peace,  Carol Wolman
