PREFACE

There is a beginning to what is manifestly running down from more available to less available energy, from a start the fact of which is enshrined in the Law of Conservation of Mass and Energy (for it is just THERE, on application), as a thing found to be given, and a continuation in the Second Law of Thermodynamics which shows the run down on its depreciation. The resource fades; the dynamic loses its base; the panics and antics grow; the options grow smaller.

It started. It falls: this not failing to be apparent even in the genome of man, whose physical platform for being is wasting away. Put there, the functional universe continues; staying there, it declines. Its source however is in no decline, while its angle of declination from Him, on the part of man, increases in a way which if physical, would long since have been deadly. The word from its Resource never alters. It does not need to; for where man is, there is learning; but where the Creator is, time is merely an invention for His creation, and all is known (Colossians 2:9, Isaiah 46:9-10).

Over time, He speaks, has spoken and His assessment awaits (Romans 8:29-39), while His provision knows no limits but truth (Colossians 1:19ff.).

There is then a beginning.

There is also an end. When you begin as a babe and turn into boy or girl active and envisaging, there seems no end; but it comes. When as juvenile you make decisions, it seems eternal, but it is temporal; it is the results which are eternal. When as mature, you find your place and place life in its place in your mind, you seem directive, but without your source, you are misdirected. When in old age, you rove your way to a conclusion of your body, you contemplate where you are going, or to take an option, insist on not contemplating it, like one who knowing full well that taxes come, evasively sets his whole mind to ignore them. But the results are not shrunk by your wilfulness. It comes, death to the body and assessment to the soul, all in its time and in its place.

Reality does not go away; and truth, it continues sublime, even amid multitudes of alienated minds (Ephesians 4:17-19). The author of history is also its judge. The creator of liberty is also its assessor. The donor of the power to love is also the giver of salvation for misuse of life; but His offer does not change. This present Age has manifestly aged markedly in the last few years, its incompetence so massive that even a donkey would bray, if it knew. It is so because it is perfectly competent to ignore its Maker, mock His mercy, depart from His ways, blast His designs, as if to place a screw-driver in an engagement ring box, and insist that no-one marvel at such renegacy. Yet it WILL do so.

It has history to teach it, but puts it out of a job, concentrating increasingly on minor sagas, and the passion of twisting truth, till it becomes a luxury for many, almost unheard of in the cover up called culture.

The concept of a Terminator, Omega, calling the game over, seems foreign to many who are well aware of the significance of sirens.

As great as is the wonder of the Lord of glory,

	the Messiah who came on time for all time (Galatians 4:4, cf. The Christian Prescription Ch. 2), and is indeed
	to come again, but in a new capacity, AS JUDGE, when He has first removed His own Church of actual believers from the earth, nation and individual alike subject to His rulings and rule:

He yet does not dictate.

Mercy is not a forced thing, nor love contrived. Where darkness is loved, its very nature is a fiasco, so that those who love this, have their fill, nothing gained but loss.

The Author is the Judge; history lavishes itself in misused liberties; love is truncated in abusive substitutes, truth is harassed, sincerity becomes to many a fiction, guile gushes like a burst dam; but the End, the Judge and the Result pad do not evaporate because of the anguish of fraud, facing light (Revelation 20:11-15). Merely disdaining or distancing oneself from truth is its rejection.

Rejoice therefore that the Messiah has come; He is not to be found in varying literary works in the wide open field of religion, inventions without test or authority but that of force, threat or policy (cf. Lively Lessons in Spiritual Service Ch. 6). He is found where test has shown, prediction has inscribed, and history has long since meekly followed. You may foul up an engine, but not destroy the factory; the Alpha who having made, also knows, has shown and terminates not the truth, but the abuse of it.

This volume, number 220 in the set, In Praise of Jesus Christ, DV, is to look at perspective amid events, the end in view, the endings in sight, as night thickens and the smell of new tar is sniffed, like a new highway to hell, making room for more motorists. In this, the perfume of perfection in Jesus the Christ, the other way, challenging certainly, but true and proven, shown and lovely, remains. It seems invidious to the insidious; but its domain is realism, and its way is regeneration, the only escape for vigorously astray man (Titus 2-3).

John 3 shows concerning one man what is applicable in essence to all persons outside Jesus Christ. They are embodied on this earth, awaiting the termination in truth, of what is temporal, and the institution of the wonder of the End, where tests passed, triumph is attributed where it belongs, to the Messiah and His own people (John 10:9,27-28). Had the evil powers known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory (I Cor. 2:7-8); but their wits are shorn by their wilfulness; and by their contrivances like very dark glasses, they outwit themselves.

Nothing outwits God; but in His wisdom, He reigns eternal, to create, to uplift, and to judge; to bless and to curse, loving but living, insusceptible to deceit, keen on the cry of what He has made, where the audio-line is used, which is Jesus, the Messiah who has come, and will, when the time is over for the testing phase, make of the end that lapses, a consummation that elapses active to eternity.

Chapter Seven

REVELATIONS ABOUT BEING REASONABLE

God says, Come let us reason together! (Isaiah 1:18), and HE is MOST reasonable, as should we be in dealing peaceably as far as in us lies ( Romans 12:18, 14:19), with one another, for God is so consistent, persistent, reliable, and cohesive in holiness that so far from His will, word, ways and nature being incomprehensible, He makes it the most reasonable of all. It is important to both KNOW what He says, and HEED what He commands, for His commands are kindly, for His people and truth needs to be known, to be understood. His Godhead, His salvation, His incarnation, so far from being beyond reason, are as data given to the mind of man made by God, and then are found gloriously attractive to reason, for in Him and His ways all problems of mind are solved (cf. SMR pp. 532ff.,
