The Bible On Trial!

The Calm Before the Storm~ A while ago I wrote one of these 'episode info' pieces titled "Are We There Yet?", and compared what those that are looking for the 'big change' in the world with a child riding in a car asking this question to his parents. The answer in terms of visible action to bring in the  Peace and Prosperity that we have been taliking about here at STM into this world would have to be 'apparently not'. The Master has certainly NOT appeared to His Kingdom, the Wars and rumors of Wars have not ceased, the Wickedness in diverse places is still rampant, and the bringing in of Everlasting Righteousness has not certainly not occurred (Dan.9:24). WHY are we not THERE yet, and  why have we not experienced a 'calm before the storm' that would give those of us that are looking for relief and rescue a hint as to where we are in time? While there is (truly) a rescue in the works that will bring Peace and Prosperity to this world torn by physical war and strife, what Jesus came to do was to show His people (the people of His righteous Kingdom) that the spiritual always comes before the physical, the prosperity of Truth will first bring the Peace of Righteousness to the Intellect (heart and mind) before it will manifest itself into the physical world. The calming of the heart and mind will happen even in the midst of the storms of life when we have discovered the Peace that comes from knowing and practicing the Truth of the words of Jesus. Doing this allows us to become righteous IN FACT, anc brings properity to the soul. When we only look at the outward signs of His coming we miss the beauty and assurance of the inward signs in our intellect that He has already come to us and changed us into righteous being, as is He.
