A Conversation about reality - My Dinner with Andre

[Ognir]

[Michael K.]

Of course we are all seeing the same elephant in the room, only dimly and from different angles.  It was foretold what kind of times we would see by the saints and apostles.  They saw it all as an inevitable consequence of the fall, and the means by which the Holy God works out the salvation or condemnation of each person, by allowing the devil to tempt them for a time, and then it will be ended once and for all with God's own angelic army, then "[His] Kingdom come, [His] will be done on earth as it is in Heaven"  Have no doubt, "there will be a new heavens, and a new earth," and those upon shall "weep no more." Our lives are not for ever, and in that brief time God will test each one, whether he loves and cares for God's other creations, or whether he is a psychopathic vampire and leech, a violent abuser and a pervert.  This life is a rare blessing, an opportunity to prove one's loyalty once and for all in a winner takes all competition.  Yes, there is nowhere to run except to caves.  The whole world will come into the devil's possession, through and by his worshippers. "No man will buy or trade, save he have the mark of the beast." Realize that this life is a test, a transitory experience where nothing remains afterward but ones loves and ones deeds.
