He knew it was going to be like this because He knew you.
Is life fixed?
There are a few cases where the Bible gives a direct quote for what someone would say, or that identifies a person by name that would be affected. When God hardened Pharaoh's heart, that was direct interference, so that could be construed as a fix, but I see it more as a corrective nudge to what was unfolding. So it is a fact that there are some people that are in a specific place for a specific purpose regardless of their daily freewill. These are the souls that fought for God during the Katabole. They have already been sanctified (their salvation is secured), so God can interfere in their life to ensure the word comes to pass. They are not puppets either. They are in their position because of where they stood, so God knows how to use his soldiers. They still have free will and all that life brings, but their salvation isn't on the line. From that group the ones that already lived throughout history are the Remnant, and the ones that are be here for the hour of temptation to tesitfy are the Elect.
The basic theme for everyone else is to be born an innocent baby, and to grow up with the guidance and influence of family, friends, and culture. And ultimately to become an adult who is 100% accountable for their positions and how they handled the upcoming generations, etc. God won't interfere in these lives anymore than a parent can go to class and take a test for their kids. However he is very protective of his own. He longs for all, but every person's lot in life is their individual scenario that shares elements of other people's scenarios. Collectively we also have a global scenario.
It is written how this will all play out in the parables and visions, but that's based on God knowing who will be here during what generation. That's a parent knowing his kids. There are events that are driven by heaven, such as the releasing of the seals, or timing of the trumps. But the reason the scriptures can layout how things would go is because the plan of salvation always included this second age. The purpose was to give a clean slate test to every soul in a dumbed down reenactment of their position at the Katabole. Not an exact reenactment, because that already happened. It's more of a situational assessment without the direct influence of heritage and cultural expectations. We are being tested for our individuality. We use less than 10% of our brains in the flesh, so we clearly can't face the exact same test as when we had full recall. Supposition would lead to 10% of brain puts us at about 10% of reality. There is no "fix". We are not puppets, but you are in a proportionate scenario, and God knows your 100% soul driving your 10% rental (or avatar).
The drama and fate of each individual soul is wide open. Just like Job every person has Satan's team scrutinizing their life before God and his team. Our every move it watched, because that's why we are here. God's plan is that if you seek him you will be given a way out and a hedge of protection, and Satan's plan is to see you never get there. God wants all souls to live, but every soul has it's own identity (we are not puppets). Sadly there will be those Satan reaches, but that doesn't mean God was there reaching out. The question is still open on those alive.
The Bible's descriptions of our time address global issues and the conditions we will face, it does not tell of how individuals will behave by name. This is true for every soul, or we would be puppets for someone else's entertainment. If that were true it would totally defeat the concept of or need for salvation. So a complete fix on individual actions is simply not credible.
However that doesn't mean a plan is not in place. For example, our highways give a general direction with several lanes to choose from. They have speed limits, tolls, bridges and tunnels, but that doesn't mean every driver uses the road in the exact same way, or at the exact same time. So the road is kind of a plan and we travel that roadmap in our own circumstances.
If you get on the highway at point A and get off at point B then it's fairly predictable the route you took. That doesn't make it totally fixed. You still had your choice of time, vehicle, speed, lane, who to pass, who to cut, what to eat, what to listen to, stops, layovers, and every other combination you can imagine.
Monitoring traffic on a highway verses scripting every person's move is drastically different beneath the surface. Roadmaps and a complete fix share similar boundaries but that's about it. However guidance is very possible and widely practiced.
The math doesn't add up.
Let's take a look at parable about how sports could be fixed. It's a simple concept and I think it maps up well. I remember when I was a kid people would argue fiercely that the WWF (World Wrestling Federation) matches on television were real. We know the contact and acrobatics have serious implications if not done correctly, but for them to choreograph and rehearse moves gives a pretty solid indicator they knew and planned who would win. Now it's packaged as "entertainment."
Let's bump up a level and go to Boxing. It's another example of a one-on-one sport. This sport has always been highly suspect of player involvement to throw an outcome. I know there are fighters who simply go in and fight, but I do believe there is the occasional bad apple. The point is that one man can keep his mouth shut and intentions hidden.
The problem is fixes aren't scaleable. Team sports are a magnitude more difficult. Additional people require the managing of group ethics, performance, and a number of details. Scandals happen though. Baseball with 9 players had a pretty big rig going on in Chicago according to the reports. But the reality is in a sport like football with a 55-man roster that changes yearly between 32 teams is beyond such managed corruptible math.
On top of that consider the drama. Could a quarterback who lost in four consecutive Superbowl appearances feel the same about his role? Could the fans still cling to the one they think is the greatest? Could the tears while holding the trophy have been fake? The fact is what they do is real. I don't think I could take one NFL hit. Even if I had full pads on, and I'm around 225 pounds. These guys put it on the field in an amazing display of specialized talent. These are athletes not actors. I've seen some of them try. None of them are seeking a sidewalk star. They want the gold jacket.
See our forest through their trees.
Just one NFL game impacts so many collective lives, in that there are a lot of levels going on. When you consider the people getting the field ready, the people working the stadium, the people selling trinkets outside, the TV crews and broadcast marketing, the 60,000 fans that will fill the seats, and the millions others watching on TV. Each and every person looking at this event from their personal perspective, and each in a unique scenario, yet all dancing together... and we haven't even mentioned the stars of the show: players, coaching, training, and refs.
The more people involved make a fix less likely to occur at the individual player level. The way they play gets recorded in stats, right? This is magnified to new levels when you consider that fame and money come from those same stats. Players get paid to perform not to lie down. Everyone would need to be on the same page in the playbook so to speak. I don't think that is possible.
What? The playbook. Let's just think about that for a minute. In today's game it is common for the first 20 plays to be scripted. This enables the coach to analyze how his players match up against the other team's players. The playbook proves it is impossible to script an outcome, because both sides have them, and they make adjustments based on live results, not plans.
Each player is going to do their best with their abilities and strategies. If I can get a play where a weaker opponent is covering me in a one on one, they are going to throw the ball to me. I won't get it every time but they will throw it when they want progress because the match up states I have an advantage. A playbook also confines patterns and paths, and sometimes it's more important to know where someone isn't. Other influencers include the recognition of defensive schemes, or stolen signals, weather, and player performance that day. That's the foundation of the drama being played out, but the exact outcome isn't known... just the variables and projections, and bets.
That does not mean it is impossible to guide the outcome, or should I say that doesn't mean outcomes aren't guided. Pretty easy to accomplish if the required outcome isn't specific. For example to gamble on an NFL game a person usually picks from two choices, the spread and over/under.
Spread - If a team is favored by 7 points it means a buffer is installed to compensate one team. The weaker team starts with a 7 point head start. The win requires more than 7 and the loss is any number less than 7. The bet isn't 7 points "exactly." For the better this game starts 7-0 or 0-7. A final difference of 7 exactly ties, but the reality is one goes from 6 to a loss and the other from 8 to eternity.
Over/Under - If the over/under is 30 points it means the total combined points from both teams at the end of the game. The win or loss could be any number in any direction. The bet isn't 30 points "exactly."
There are many other things that can be wagered upon, but these two provide the rose colored glasses for viewing the drive behind the game. Add in the fantasy leagues and now every fan has a reason to follow any number of teams. Statistical overload, free agency, and league parody make this road smooth. On the surface it appears to be a complete random thing unfolding in real time. Every participant in their scenario. But we live in a world of good verses evil, and our souls are being tested.
Some people watching the game are true fans, and others true haters. Some players set the standard, and others hit the juice. Fans don't care about the score, only the win... and Vegas doesn't care about the win, only the score. Why would that be? Because the amount of money wagered on each game is a whole additional sector making choices and taking positions based on this one game. I'm not saying NFL games are rigged, but I am saying if you could do a study of spreads and outcomes, or how key penalties changed the outcome of a bet, you will find it very interesting, and if you could open the books it would peel back a curtain our society couldn't accept. Of course it isn't fake, but it isn't as real as people think.
What appeared to be an event between two teams actually became a common event that impacted a multitude of different scenarios, and each was "self-contained" so to speak. It's impossible to script behavior within free will, so even one simple football game breaks the "fixed" model. It's a "predictive" model based on your inner being. And not just individually. We're talking over 14 billion players, with 8 billion on the field now. Nations, not teams.
That doesn't mean a roadmap isn't possible. One that could survive the generations. One that is full of the details from the match ups of history. One that lists the plays for our team today, and is based on the match ups that are around us right now. That roadmap is the Bible. This is our game. We are the players. Our lives are our stats. What if the Elect serve the same role as the refs? The heavenly bets are not placed on any "exact" number, just the numbers of those who make it and those who don't. Our team covers the spread and the volume is definitely "over".
Unfortunately before we can pull out our victory we have to go through a very trying final two minutes. It's called the hour of temptation.
We waxed fat.
We don't know if the match ups we face daily are about us, or them, or both? We just play our hearts. American's have good hearts, we're just a little lost with perspective to the path we should be on. Overall we're still blessed and protected, but all this within the last couple hundred years? Is this coincidence?
What if we trace how the so-called "ten lost tribes" were actually taken captive and migrated across crossed the Caucus Mountains settling Europe, then later also migrating here to settle in the Americas. Not only would that explain how the Caucasian got his name, it reveals the tribes are not lost. It puts added emphasis on the prophesy concerning the gathering of His children in our time. It should also give a little insight as to why we have such a bond with Israel, and can't let them be exterminated as the opponent's agenda so publicly states.
Unfortunately we also have defenders of these and many other empty and confused peoples mixed among us. They pursue their own freedoms at the cost of others without regard to responsibility. We have great areas within our nation that are due for correction. I can hardly even get myself to care anymore. They are building their own stumbling blocks daily and constructing walls around their heritage. These souls would have ultimately played their position as the entity that resides within. I can rest with that. I'm doing the same and simply doing what I do. We all do. If you're reading this then you are playing your position too… even if you are learning about it for the first time. Then again if the words get you upset or the concepts make you angry, same thing. In other words… it is what it is.
The facts of our society reflect a people that do not want to know! They are already sold and have a receipt. If something wakes them up it would be an honor nurture them. Until then our country is breaking within because of them while an external enemy is actively in the hunt. Is this game getting interesting yet? I hope so because we are pretty close to the two-minute warning. Most people have no clue how far into the game we are or on what page in the book the team is focused today. What happened?
We built a system that was based on the individual right to be free. The system featured protections based upon a few simple rules. Simple rules that were of God, and that were based upon the teachings within the KJV. Why do you think all our old courthouses had copies of the 10 Commandments incorporated into their building?
In and of themselves when taken in knowledge of God's purpose for us the Commandments are complete. They are sufficient. But when the context of God's way is removed all these rules need additional documentation and clarification. And that's where man tries to take over.
Get on track.
When Israel became a nation we entered into a time period guaranteed by Christ that the events of our time would conclude before that generation passed away. This sprouting of the good and bad fig happened in 1948. In May of 2088 they celebrated 70 years… That puts us in a pretty small window, but it is very possible to go quite a bit further because the end is before the last person of that generation passes. Methusula played a similar role if you dig into his story a bit. That will help you gain some perspective of the signs. One thing is for sure… our fruit is ripe for the picking, so it could be this season just as much as next season.
The date is known only to the Father at this time, but we don't have to be kept in the dark until it happens. We are to know the season, and I would say the span from 1948 to now is a solid set of brackets. At some point that window close and we will fulfill what was recorded thousands of years ago. But since it was written thousands of years ago there should be some type of checklist to follow along with until the storm unfolds, right? I mean we already have the answers to the test that should make it very easy for all of us to maximize our individual efforts.
As we go forward and identify some founding characteristics I hope it will help you develop that list for your scenario. If the meat in this work is a new taste for you welcome to your lost supper. Chew slowly and let it digest. You will adequately prepare for our time. If you consistently choke on something send in a question. The bottom line is that there is plenty of time for those that choose to pursue truth, and not enough time for those that opt out.
