I won't go though all of the implications of that, legally, by suffice it to say that you have placed yourself at risk of speeding up that "imprisonment, affliction and death" that Jesus said would take place during "the beginning of sorrows." As time progresses and we learn more and become wiser, we gain more sorrow and more grief. Just remember that Jesus was well acquainted with grief a man of sorrows. At the end of his time on the earth before the resurrection, he was alone, smitten of God and afflicted. In his most desperate cry, he cried out the very words of the psalmists "My God! My God! Why hast thou forsaken me!" 😭 If you read the whole text of Psalm 22 you will see what the Psalmist endured. His abandonment, his betrayal, his hopelessness and his horror. Then consider that the Lord watched over his trial so much so that his very words, anointed by the Holy Ghost, in his distress and desperation were not only preserved for every generation to know, but also the exact cry that Jesus Christ the Lord lamented as he was dying in our stead. This world is not our home and as we sojourn, we become alienated from various aspects of this world and the people of it. Sometimes in our darkest moments when we don't feel that God is with us and cannot feel his love and question our place and even our own destination, we are closer to the Lord than we think. It's a trial and a test, the fiery trials of the faith that will burn off the dross and purify that most precious gift of God which he has given unto us. "But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap: And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness." A silversmith sits over his work and watches the metal carefully in the fire to remove impurities, knowing that the silver is fully refined when he can see his own image reflected in it. The psalmist was in that fire and when the time was come to its fullness, he literally was a pure reflection of the Lord Jesus Christ in his agony. It's a beautiful thing. Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: Post Reply
