By the use of the buds of prophecy, the LORD was moving the world closer to perfection, in God. This was being done in the LORD’S spoiling of the competing principles of the world. The method that was in operation was, and still is, as is declared here.
For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
(1 Corinthians 1:18-21)
On the other side of that disruption of mankind is this: the beneficence of the LORD. This beneficence is such that; in the battle to transform the world, many of our principles that compete with it will become collateral damage. Many of the impacts from the LORD will be unpleasant. To lessen the unpleasantness, we need to be ever mindful of the agency that is in the transformation. This is that agency.
