God's plan for the last days is full of Glory. The Glory of the Lord.
That same sentiment was proclaimed some 500 yrs earlier in a Sermon given in a forest -garden at the city of Benares in India...to the "disciples". Though this tradition of the sage and masters goes back some 5000 yrs there . Jesus was carrying on an old tradition of the search for wisdom and release from sorrow of dellusions , yet neither the alpha or omega , but part of a chain which should be seen as quite lovely actually . But instead of being a Sage of the forests that go back 1000's of years , he was a later spirited Sage of the Desert.
(Mankind is very old you know...we first domesticated fire, some 300,000yrs ago , fwiw)

"And the angels and saints and all the good spirits of the departed generations that had listened to the sermon of the Messiah/Teacher, joyfully received the doctrine and shouted:
"Truly, the Blessed One has founded the kingdom of righteousness. The Blessed One has moved the earth; he has set the wheel of Truth rolling, which by no one in the universe, be he god or man, can ever be turned back. The kingdom of Truth will be preached upon earth; it will spread; and righteousness, good-will, and peace will reign among mankind."<font size=3>
* you should be rejoicing that God is so great and powerful , he chose to send one of his Sons to every people and embrace this . The one thing about Christians that always confounds me , is this fact of tunnel vision. |
