Sometimes I get the feeling that some of the scientists of the world just do not understand the sequential nature of processes. Yes, I know this is a strange thing to say, since scientists are usually credited with being the masters of the progressive discovery of things. However, when it comes to the construction of the kingdom of man, there seems to be a disconnection between the process that drives our existence, and the primordial power that was required to instigate its creation. Actually, I should not be so broad-brush in my criticism. In reality, there is only a small subset of the group known as scientists, who are intent on skipping steps in the development of the kingdom of man. The apostle Paul sent a caution to one of the saints of his day, about these types of scientific shortcuts.

Kingdoms of Man: Part Two (Preparation)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There has been much discussion about a certain linguistic flourish, which contained the expression, wise Hispanic. This expression, along with its containing thought, was for a limited audience. It is a way of striving to achieve a first mark in the journey toward excellence in judicial behavior. It is only a first marker, and only one of several such markers. We could replace the words, wise Hispanic, by any other personality that a person might express when they have set their mind to performing consistent judgment, for the rendering of decisions based on the applicable law. It is not an exclusive, or negatively comparatively, expression; except where experience might raise a negative feeling in those who are without it.
In that light, let me extend the statement (not amend it) with the following . . .
“For, I know that there is a wise Hebrew, who continually makes more righteous judgments than any man or woman–for there is no man or woman who can ever attain to the richness of his experiences. This Hebrew man is the true higher mark of judicial activity; not, me. Please receive a portion of his words, following:
Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee. But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas: For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here. The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.(Matthew 12:38-42)

Kingdoms of Man: Part One (Prophecy)
Sunday, July 4th, 2010Among some of the believers in Christ, there is a push for a consolidated kingdom of man. This, however, would be contrary to Scripture–if such achievement were even possible. We need only look to Revelation to see that the capstone to the design of God accommodates kingdoms–and not just a single kingdom.
