The City of Confusion has come down into ruins, and her proud towers are but a pile of rubble, and the Host from on High, as well as the Kings of the earth, are rounded up and wait sentencing in the Pit. God has triumphed marvelously. His Right Hand, King Messiah, has gained the victory, He has executed Divine Justice, and He reigns victoriously!

When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven. But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. ( Matthew 8:10-12)

Bad news for Theology-ville. The religious experts in Jesus' day had their settled doctrines and doctrinal camps, which were contrary to the actual Messiah who didn't meet the lockstep, consensus expectations of conventional, establishment wisdom.

Matthew 7

22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

History is prophecy. Oh well. That means there are lots of ordinary, good-hearted people who will want to roll up their sleeves and help the guy out, to build that big dream together. What doesn't he know how to do? So much to learn and discover from him, and then go out and do. Every day, something new and exciting. A real inspiration. A man full of patience, love, compassion, understanding, healing, and hope --- informing the broken, demoralized and ostracized that their sins are forgiven so they can get up now.

Real positive teamwork, for example putting wood together to make stuff. Not that complicated. Mighty oaks from little acorns grow.

Whole-hearted Can-Do people welcomed in, bureaucratic Can't-Do people thrust out.

Ezekiel 37:1 The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones...
