@Fat_Electrician I swear, there's gotta be an actual germ that causes what makes these people retarded. Didn't used to be nearly this bad when I was a boy. Had a dude in grade school that had to drop his pants to use a urinal, that's about it.
@jackinmaine I swear my life changed when I bought actual maple syrup. Not the garbage that's half high fructose corn syrup. Tried that and real peanut butter. Still haven't recovered.
There is a profound, and almost terrifying irony embedded in the architecture of Psalm 2 and Psalm 110.
Earthly empires sweat, mobilize, and conspire. They believe themselves engaged in a cosmic war against the Almighty. Then the text cuts to heaven and reveals a staggering asymmetry. YHWH is not panicking, He is laughing.
He doesnโt call a war council or mobilize a defense of his own borders. His supremacy is such a permanent, bedrock axiom of reality that it is not even a question in either psalm. Hebrews 6 is the footnote both psalms were waiting for: when YHWH needs to make an oath, he looks across the cosmos for something greater to swear by and finds nothing, so He swears by himself. There is an absolute vacuum of equal authority in the universe. His throne has no external frame from which to mount an attack against it.
What he does instead is point to his proxy and declare: โI have installed my King.โ
God doesnโt honor human rebellion with a direct response. He recategorizes the entire geopolitical tantrum as a dispute with his Son, signaling that the true theater of contention has never been heaven. It is earth. And he will have his way there.
This chain of divine delegation is the precise blueprint for how dominion operates beneath the throne. Christ does not administrate every square inch of historical territory directly. He populates it with sub-regents chosen to mirror his order in the midst of chaos. Kings under the King, given territory by appointment, whose authority derives from assignment rather than acquisition.
This is why the mechanics of warfare shift so dramatically by Revelation 19.
Christ enters that final confrontation wearing a robe already dipped in blood before a single blow is struck. The name on his thigh, King of Kings, was not earned in that moment. He rides FROM the throne, not toward it. His weapon is the word from his mouth, which is the Melchizedek pattern completing its final arc. What Revelation 19 depicts is not a competitive engagement. It is a judicial enforcement action against a verdict rendered at Calvary.
The logic is absolute. YHWH fought for Adonai. Christ, now enthroned, fights for those under him. The assignment was prior. The interceding priest-king stands before the Father on their behalf. The security of what has been given is not their burden to establish.
The hardest discipline in Psalm 110 is not the enemies. It is the sitting. To hold the posture of secured appointment rather than desperate conquest. The enemies are not the crisis here, the real crisis is forgetting that the throne was never yours to win.
@gijoe6pack@TrevorSheatz You believe it's better to encourage sin than to tell people where they're headed. No one actually believes the lie of the atheist. Utter ridiculous nonsense. Come to Christ or burn. Let your ego and pride go or suffer for them. Cheers ๐
@LisaBritton Ugh. The very idea that they go to such lengths to manufacture the answer they want, when reality itself disagrees with them at every level. ๐
