Reality - Fated
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. So it is a fact that there are some people that are in a specific place for a specific purpose regardless of their freewill. These are very far and few because the basic theme here is for us to be born an innocent babe and to grow up becoming what we are. A person's lot in life is a scenario and collectively we have a global scenario. Is it written how this will all play out? Yes. It is very clearly written in parables and visions in both the Old and New Testaments. Does that mean everything is fixed? The net result is but the drama and fate of the souls is wide open. The Bible's descriptions of our time address global issues and the conditions we will face at the second coming but it does not tell of how individuals will behave by name. In fact if that were true we would just be puppets for someone else's entertainment. If it were true it would totally defeat the concept of or need for salvation. So a complete fix on individual actions is simply not credible.
Is it guided?
However that doesn't mean a plan is not in place. For example, our highways give a general direction and have 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. Guidance is very possible and widely practiced.
Do fixes happen?
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 about who would win. So now we package it as "entertainment." Let's bump it 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.
Are fixes 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 that in a sport like football with a 55-man roster that changes yearly between 32 teams in a free society is beyond such managed corruptible math.
Drama reflects otherwise.
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 Elway's tears while holding the trophy have been any more real? 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 over 200 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. These guys can play but they can't act let alone act together in one grand deceit. What about the several families making up the coaching and support staff? Agents? Everyone would need to be on the same page in the playbook so to speak. I don't think that is possible.
See the forest through the trees.
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. Therein lies the key. Match ups. 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. But a playbook also confines patterns and paths and sometimes it's more important to know where someone isn't. Throw in the recognition of defensive schemes or stolen signals and you have the foundation of the drama being played out by the variables of the players. It is impossible to know every play from every player. Even to speculate floods the big picture perspective. What's key is that you don't miss the concept… 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.
The margins are wide.
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."
Teams include everyone.
There are many other things that can be wagered upon but these two provide the rose colored glasses for viewing the drive behind the match ups. Add in the fantasy leagues and now every fan has a reason to follow any number of teams. Statistical overload, free agency, and parody make this road smooth. I am not saying the NFL is the WWF. I'm trying to explain the mathematical path to scalability and the depth of what would be required because the next jump isn't about 55 players. It's about 12 billion players. We're talking about nations, not teams. To go from a one-on-one to 55-a-side is child's play compared the math required for mankind to have a complete fix. That doesn't mean a roadmap is impossible. One that could survive the generations. One that is full of the details from the match ups that have happened. One that lists the scripted plays for our team today based on the match ups that are around us right now. 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". This is our game. We are the players. Our lives are our stats. Unfortunately before we can pull out our victory we have to go through a very trying final two minutes.
Our team 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, and 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 can't let Israel to 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 intended right.
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 these simple rules are complete. They are sufficient. But when the context of God's way is removed all these rules need additional documentation and clarification. Additions take on lives of their own in their effort to help define an individual case but they are not scaleable to every case. In fact if left to meander on their own they can mature into dangerous chains. In this work we will show how various churches have done just that, but it isn't limited to church. One direction this can be evident is in the legal system. Ours has become a predictable machine based on the law of president. Our predictable match ups can be exploited. We are not free but in our own chains during a time when we are most needed.
We have time.
When Israel became a nation we entered into a time period identified within the Bible as the generation of the fig tree. It is described in detail and it was personally guaranteed by Christ that the events of our time would conclude before that generation passed away. In May of 2008 they will be celebrating 60 years… This sprouting of the good and bad fig was written about long, long ago. Many generations have come and gone since then and now we have a little time period that roughly covers from 1948 through 2018 or so. The actual end date is not "2018," that's just the far side of the spread. Plus it is very possible to go way beyond that date in 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 know the signs. Overtimes are always exciting. One thing is for sure… our fruit is ripe for the picking so it could be this season just as much as next season.
We can get on track.
Even if the date is known only to the Father does that mean we are to be kept in the dark until it happens? Heck no. We are to know the season and I would say the span from 1948 t0 2018 is a solid set of brackets. Within that window we will fulfill what was recorded thousands of years ago. Since it was written thousands of years ago then there should be some type of checklist you can follow along with until you see the storm unfold, right? I mean we already have the answers to the test and that should make it very easy for all of us to right our individual efforts. As we go forward in this work and identify some founding characteristics I hope it will help you develop that list for your scenario. To maximize you ability to work your list with understanding requires the consumption of some meat compared to what you may have been taught. If the meat in this work is a new taste for you welcome to your lost supper. Chew slowly and let it digest and 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.
