The Father's Perogative, the Coming Anointed One, and The Desolator's End

After all the funeral stuff and everything surrounding it, I wanted to do a breather episode again. This time, with Desolator Magic, one of the most important M:TG YouTubers out there. We talk Magic: The Gathering, politics, everyday life and survival. It's a fun listen, hope you'll enjoy it. He's more right leaning than my other guests have been lately, but we talk about that too.

Here too the consummation would bring change and newness. When the distinction between visible and invisible space disappeared and man's perception of the world included in Glory-dimension, the cosmos as an integral, unified whole would take on a new face for him. For glorified man, earth would become “heavenized.” All would be aglow with glory. More broadly stated, man's glorification would mean the perfecting of his dominion over all the works of God's hand (cf. Heb 2:5-10). He would enjoy the capabilities that we see displayed in the resurrection appearances of Christ. Kline, Meredith G. God, Heaven and Har Magedon: A Covenantal Tale of Cosmos and Telos.

TRAGEDY OF THE SOLOMONIC ERA As in the case of Israel's possession of the land in Joshua, (PH1-10 after the Northern & Southern Campaign effectively eliminated the 31 kings) so toward the end of narrating the zenith of Israelite kingship in Solomon, 1 Kings 8:56 says that Solomon's reign and building of the temple happened "according to all that He promised; not one word ... failed of all His good promise, which He promised through Moses His servant." “You will bring them in and plant them in the mountain of your inheritance, in the place you made for your residence, (Palace) O Lord, the sanctuary, (Temple) O Lord, that your hands have established.” Exodus‬ ‭15:17‬ ‭ This is not mere fulfillment of prophecies about a kingdom and a temple; in the light of the links to Gen. 1-2, this is also the realization of a kingdom and a temple in what appeared to be an emerging new creation (X2M-99-). And, as with Joshua, although there was an escalated fulfillment of prophecies of the Israelite kingship and of the temple (and even more so with Solomon), these fulfillments were not consummated. Subsequent history reveals this lack of consummation in that sin by both Solomon and Israel occurred, resulting not in elevation of conditions into a new creation (X2M99-) where perfect righteousness dwells but rather in the deleterious consequences of the splintering of Israelite kingship and kingdom, destruction of the temple, and dismantling of the nation itself in exile. Also, both Moses's prophecy in Exod. 15:17-18 and God's promise in 2 Sam. 7:10-16 (an allusive development itself of the Exod. 15 passage) affirm that the kingdom and the temple will be established forever, which did not happen with Solomon. Lack of complete fulfillment is indicated also by the conditional way that the fulfillment is expressed (1 Kings 2:4; 8:25; 9:1-9)… “and the Lord will fulfill his promise to me, ‘If your descendants watch their step and live faithfully in my presence with all their heart and being, then,' he promised, ‘you will not fail to have a successor on the throne of Israel.'” ‭1 Kings‬ ‭2:4‬ ‭NET‬‬ …as well as by the observation, as in Joshua, that left in Israel were some of the people remaining from the enemy nations,"whom the sons of Israel were unable to destroy utterly" (1 Kings 9:21).

SIX DAYS Invitation Initiation Designation Probation Conferral Confirmation SEVENTH DAY Consummation The consummation which would have been typified in Solomon was only completed in Jesus that the fullness of Christ would be in us in this end-time generation by transfiguration leading to glorification... “After Solomon finished building the Lord's temple, the royal palace, and all the other construction projects he had planned, the Lord appeared to Solomon a second time… Jesus fulfills the complete conditions of the covenant with one sacrifice Beginning next week, X2M-114 we will start with the book of Zechariah detailing through 7 visions/aspects of our King of Glory… X.

Judge of the World Much of the church usually camps out around 1, 2 or a few of the above 7 attributes of Jesus…we need a robust multifaceted view of Him in consummation….that He's the Governor, Avenger, Builder, Guardian, Anointer, Desolator of the apostates, Judge…the King of Glory! Our aperture of Him will not then be 1, 2 or few sides but multifaceted and our vision will be reality in our midst within and without as Collider comes into fruition. That even as we behold (vision) Him in His consummation…the consummation of the ages we will become like Him.

He's Got the Whole World at His Feet There are a lot of things happening on earth I don't like, but I serve a big God, and in The Book of Revelation we learn everything we do matters, and we will give an account to that big God for everything we have done. When people act like they are big and God is small… But as we will see today, God is not small; He is big, much bigger than we imagine! Read Rev. Chapter 10 He's Got the Whole World at His Feet! Let's Pray! The Mighty Angel Roars Like a Lion! V. 1-4 The Book of Revelation is about Jesus before it is about events! The first purpose of Revelation is for Jesus to increase in our life while the false god of self we have enthroned decreases! When we think of Jesus, we should have two sights ever before us: The Lamb of God who takes away our sins! The Lion of Judah who roars to put the fear of God into us! The Mighty Angel Announces God's Plan is almost Complete V. 5-7 Seventy weeks here means 490 years, with each week referring to 7 years. Genesis tells us Jacob worked a week, or seven years, for his wife Rachel. Daniel 9:24 says that at the end of the 490 years everlasting righteousness will be brought in, with no more sin and rebellion (The millennium described in Rev. 20). Verse 25 says after the decree is made to rebuild Jerusalem 69 weeks, or 483 of the 490 years, will go by and then Messiah will be cut off. Daniel 9:27 tells us the coming Antichrist will make a covenant with many for that week (seven years), but in the middle of the week, or 3 and a half years in, he'll desecrate the Jewish Temple. But then his destruction is decreed! The interval of time was the time between the first 483 years of Daniel's prophecy and the end of the 490th year when the Desolator is destroyed. When the bowls are poured out, they will be poured out in rapid fire succession and then Jesus Christ will return to earth! Now think of these things in terms of a stopwatch counting up to 490 years. John Digests the Little Scroll V. 8-11 The little scroll seems to contain the sum of Revelation's message so far – comfort to those who believe, terror to those who won't repent. The message John received is for everybody, and John was to be a messenger to everybody! According to the Bible, it is not unworthiness that keeps anyone from being saved, it is unwillingness that keeps people from being saved. If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved! For with the heart one believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. -Romans 10:9-10

Development: Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light, known as Final Fantasy Gaiden in Japan, is a Role Playing Game developed by Matrix Software and published by Square Enix on October 29, 2009 in Japan, and October 5th, 2010 in the States. You may remember Matrix Software from their IOS ports of Final Fantasy II, IV, V, VI,  After Years, and even Dragon Quest V. This is the second Final Fantasy game to wield the Gaiden, or spinoff title, in Japan; The other being the aforereviewed Final Fantasy Adventure. The game’s directors were Takashi Tokita and Hiroaki Yabuta. Tokita you may remember as the director of Chrono Trigger and Parasite Eve. He also worked as lead designer for Final Fantasy IV. The game was produced by Tomoya Asano, the lead artist was Akihiko Yoshida; Yoshida worked on background art and main character design for the Ivalice games, where Mizuta worked on FFXI with Uematsu, and that god awful Parasite Eve 2. The development team had begun to consider a sequel to this game, and that’s why we’re going to play Bravely Default; which is what that “sequel” eventually became. The entire game was meant to be a throwback to the original titles in the Final Fantasy series, and you can definitely tell. The game featured an interesting storybook style art design, similar to Chocobo’s Tales, and also features a pretty bitchin version of the job system from FF III and V. The development team looked to DQ games, and other popular NES era RPG’s for inspiration as well as previous FF titles.   Plot: The game starts out in the city of Horne with our main hero Brandt. Brandt is presenting himself to the king to enter manhood, and discovers that the Princess, Aire, has been taken by the Witch of the North, named Louhi. Along the way, Brandt meets up with his moody friend Jusqua and the princess’ personal bodyguard, and savior of us all, Yunita. Together they journey to the witche’s house, and eventually slay Louhi. When we trudge back to Horne, we find that the entire town has been turned to stone by some curse, and the king is missing. This is when our little fellowshiop breaks for the time being. Brandt and Yunita try to restore Horne’s villagers, while Jusqua and Aire flee to Liberte, a seafaring town. Brandt and Yunita meet a fellow named Krinjh in a nearby desert, who leads them to the magic kingdom of Guera. The King of Guera asks them to deal with the fucking Sandman, since Spiderman is busy, and you agree. But of course, he annihalates you, because you need water spells and the LEADER ORDERS A FUCKING FREEZE ON WATER SPELL SALES! Anyway, you win the fight, but the sand creature is revealed to be Araidne, who Krinjh runs away with. Aire meets up with a fairy named Lilibelle, and gets turned into a cat. Aire leaves Jusqua’s grumpy ass behind, and finds Brandt, who also left Yunita behind for some reason… Anyway, they head to Arbor forest, where the Queen of the forest turns Brandt into a plant, because she doesn’t trust humans after the events of Ferngully 1, and dare I say 2. Aire then teams up with a mouse named Tortehhhh to find an Animal Staff in order to turn Brandt into a dog, thus making him more trustworthy. But before we get this taken care of, we must defeat Arbaroc; the guardian of Arbor. We knock him out, and the Queen of Arbor turns the Animal Staff into the Transformation Staff, which allows us to go transspecial with a mere three menu clicks. We then first learn of Rolan, who searches for the Dark Towe…. Wait, no. He’s just a dude from Spelvia who may know how to help Horne. The two animals Aire and Brandt climb the great tree of the arbor and leap to the super FF-esque floating island of Spelvia, but Aire is the only one who makes it across. Jusqua finds a regular cat, who he mistakes for Aire somehow, and travels to Urbeth; finding Yunita and a sorcerer who claims to be able to lift the curse from “Aire”. We earn some dough by completing some quests for the locals, and then we find out that the dirty sorcerer was nothing more than a con artist, who promptly escapes to the six teraflop city of Invidia. Jusqua leaves warrior princess Yunita behind and pursues the sorcerer on a boat. He’s soon reunited with Brandt, and learns that Aire was with him the whole time. When our two heroes arrive in Invidia, they meet up with a girl named Rekoteh who helps them get the dragon harp, which allows the party to summon a dragon to fly to Spelvia. Yunita has climbed the tower to the Sky to reach the town, and meets up with Aire as they arrive. We then visit Rolan, who also dislikes humans, and has locked himself away in solitude. Then we get a sweet sequence where Yunita and Aire travel into Rolan’s unconcious mind with the help of the Witch of the Sky to destroy the monsters controlling him. This, however, causes Rolan to ulneash the darkness that was locked away inside him, and warp the very fabric of reality. Ardyn, anyone?? At this point, the heroes search for the Weapons of Light to save the world from the Dark Lord that the ancient hero Rolan defeated and sealed away. In the kingdom of Guera’s past, Krinj is a servant of their past king, who turns out to be Asmodeus, or as Joe and I call him, Assdemon, the demon of lust; and he lusts after your juicy asscheeks, to be sure. Yunita prevents his evil plans from being completed by using the Merkmal, or Merkin, to reveal his true identity, and then the group fights him, gets fucking wrecked, and darkness wins the day. 40 times. Until eventually he doesn’t fuck you over instantly, and you defeat him. Krinjh then rewards you with the Shield of Light, which I actually didn’t take at first, which led me to be lost for about three hours last night. Krinjh eventually becomes king, and makes peace with the nearby nations. In Liberte’s past, and artist is looking to create the most beautiful piece of art ever, and wants to incorporate Lillibelle into it. A bunch of pirates steal the work, and we find out they were being possessed. ONce we free them, we awaken Cetus, an ancient whale, and use him to defeat Leviathan, the demon of envy. Urubeth was once a city of faith, but a recent plague turned it into a commerce town. Thazund, one of the high merchants of the town, has a daughter who has fallen ill to the plague. Jusqua is determined to prevent this, and finds a cure, but we also find out that the town apothecary is causing the plague, and selling the medicine at an absurdly high markup. We reveal him to be Beelzebub, the demon of Gluttony, and rip him apart. For our good deeds, Thauzand gives us the Cape of Light, and Urbeth becomes balanced between commerce, and faith. We then move to Arbor. Torte, once a human rather than the rat we know him as, releases Belphegor, the demon of sloth, or ass to ass, in order to obtain the super OP spell Lux. His punishment is being turned into a mouse, and he is the catalyst for the Arbor Queen’s distaste towards humans. Belphagor attempts to posses Aebaroc to destroy Arbor. Originally, Belphagor wins, but our time warp intervention prevents it. But not before he fucks you over, and over, and over, and over again. With Belfaggot dead, we receive the spell Lux; and my god is it useful. Now we turn to Invidia, home of the Ruskies. We help the daughter of Rekoteh, and journey to the Sun Temple to defeat Mammon, the demon of greed. Once we return to the village, spring finally arrives, and we are awarded with the Armor of Light. We also visit Spelvia in the past, and save Rolan from the darkness. We dive into his soul, and defeat Lucifer himfuckingself, the demon of pride, and free Rolan’s soul. He awards us with the Sword of Light. We finally make it back to Horne, who is suffering a drought. This extreme situation called for extreme measures, and the town voted to ask the witch Louhi for help. This is also, oddly, the day of Aire’s birth. Her father agrees to give her away to break the seal on the legendary black magic. Our defiance of the deal by saving Aire, and killing Louhi, caused the curse in the first place.We eventually use the lamp of truth to question the shitlord king of this place, and find out that he’s Satan, demon of wrath. Brandt’s parrot shows up, and reveals himself as the actual mayor. This is when we find out that we were played in the beginning, and serving evil. The king thanks us, and gives us the overpowered black magic Desolator. Once our for heroe’s have the weapons of light, they use Cletus to enter the Dark World, and not the one from that crap Thor movie, either. We, of fucking course, lose all of our jobs, and have to earn them back by defeating all the douche bosses that the game offered; first and foremost are Assdemon and Belfaggot. This is a very similar idea to FFVIII’s final dungeon, tbh. We then face off against Chaos, who shatters our job creating crystal, and still loses to us. But again, not after making me spend hour after hour journeying to fight him again and again. We then embark on our world tour, returning the sacred weapons. Everything is good to go, and we finally return home.

ODE TO NAPOLEON BUONAPARTE by Lord Byron with annotations from Peter Cochran [Byron wrote the poem in several stages. The earliest manuscript (at Texas) was created on April 10th 1814, and contains stanzas 1, 4, 6-12, and 14-16; Byron then added stanzas 5, 13, 2, and 3 to it. Stanzas 17, 18 and 19 were written – so it used to be said – at the request of John Murray, to increase the size of the book and thus to avoid paying stamp tax on it. But Andrew Nicholson, in Napoleon’s ‘last act’ and Byron’s Ode, (Romanticism 9.1, 2003, p.68) writes that there was no such condition attached to stamp tax.The Ode was published at high speed, first anonymously (with fifteen stanzas) on April 16th 1814. All editions from the third onwards have an additional stanza 5. Not until the twelfth edition does Byron’s name appear. Stanzas 17, 18, and 19 were not printed in Byron’s lifetime. Byron wanted to dedicate the poem to Hobhouse, but Hobhouse declined.]   “Expende Annibalem:—quot libras in duce summoInvenies?—— JUVENAL, Sat.X. “The Emperor Nepos13 was acknowledged by the Senate, by the Italians, and by theProvincials of Gaul; his moral virtues, and military talents, were loudly celebrated; and thosewho derived any private benefit from his government, announced in prophetic strains therestoration of public felicity.* * * * * * * * * * * * *“By this shameful abdication, he protracted his life a few years, in a very ambiguous state,between an Emperor and an Exile, till———— Gibbon’s Decline and Fall, vol. 6, p.220.   1. ’Tis done – but yesterday a King! And armed with Kings to strive – And now thou art a nameless thing: So abject – yet alive! Is this the Man of thousand thrones,  Who strewed our earth with hostile bones, And can he thus survive? Since he, miscalled the Morning Star, Nor man nor fiend hath fallen so far. – 2. Ill-minded man! why scourge thy kind  Who bowed so low the knee? By gazing on thyself grown blind, Thou taught’st the rest to see; With might unquestioned – power to save – Thine only gift hath been the grave  To those that worshipped thee; Nor till thy fall could mortals guess 12: “Put Hannibal in the scales: how many pounds will that peerless / General mark up today?” – tr.Peter Green. The first of many references to historical and mythical over-reachers with which B. cutsNapoleon down to size.13: Julius Nepos, Emperor of the Western Roman Empire after it had ceased to exist. Killed by his ownmen.14: BYRON’S NOTE: Lucifer was Satan’s name before he rebelled and fell. Ambition’s less than littleness! – 3. Thanks for that lesson – it will teach To after-warriors more  Than high Philosophy can preach, And vainly preached before.

The triumph, and the vanity, The rapture of the strife * – The earthquake-voice of Victory,  To thee the breath of Life; The sword, the sceptre, and that sway Which Man seemed made but to obey, Wherewith Renown was rife – All quelled! – Dark Spirit! what must be  The Madness of thy Memory!* Certaminis guadia, the expression of Attila in his harangue to his army, previous to thebattle of Chalons, given in Cassiodorus. 5 The Desolator desolate!

To die a Prince – or live a slave – Thy choice is most ignobly brave! 6. He * who of old would rend the oak, Dreamed not of the rebound; Chained by the trunk he vainly broke – Alone – how looked he round?

The Roman, * when his burning heart  Was slaked with blood of Rome, Threw down the dagger – dared depart, In savage grandeur, home. – He dared depart in utter scorn Of Men that such a yoke had borne,  Yet left him such a doom! His only glory was that hour Of self-upheld abandoned power. – And Earth hath spilt her blood for him, Who thus can hoard his own! And Monarchs bowed the trembling limb, And thanked him for a throne! Fair Freedom! we may hold thee dear, When thus thy mightiest foes their fear In humblest guise have shown. Oh! ne’er may tyrant leave behind A brighter name to lure mankind!  11. Thine evil deeds are writ in gore, Nor written thus in vain – Thy triumphs tell of fame no more, Or deepen every stain: If thou hadst died as Honour dies.  Some new Napoleon might arise, To shame the world again – But who would soar the solar height, To set in such a starless night? 12. Weighed in the balance, hero dust  Is vile as vulgar clay; Thy scales, Mortality! are just To all that pass away: But yet methought the living great Some higher sparks should animate,  To dazzle and dismay: Nor deem’d Contempt could thus make mirth Of these, the Conquerors of the earth. 13. And she, proud Austria’s mournful flower, Thy still imperial bride; How bears her breast the torturing hour? Still clings she to thy side? Must she too bend, must she too share Thy late repentance, long despair, Thou throneless Homicide?  If still she loves thee, hoard that gem, – ’Tis worth thy vanished Diadem!14. Then haste thee to thy sullen Isle, And gaze upon the Sea; That element may meet thy smile – It ne’er was ruled by thee! 22: Napoleon’s second wife, Maria Louisa, daughter of the Austrian Emperor.23: Elba. Or trace with thine all idle hand In loitering mood upon the sand That Earth is now as free! That Corinth’s pedagogue hath now  Transferred his by-word to thy brow. – 15. Thou Timour! in his Captive’s cage * What thoughts will there be thine, While brooding in thy prisoned rage? But one – “The World was mine!”  Unless, like he of Babylon, All Sense is with thy Sceptre gone, Life will not long confine That Spirit poured so widely forth – So long obeyed – so little worth!  * The cage of Bajazet, by order of Tamerlane. 16. Or, like the thief of fire * from heaven, Wilt thou withstand the shock? And share with him, the unforgiven, His vulture and his rock! Foredoomed by God – by man accurst, And that last act, though not thy worst, The very Fiend’s arch mock; † He in his fall preserved his pride, And, if a mortal, had as proudly died! * Prometheus.† “The fiend’s arch mock—“To lip a wanton, and suppose her chaste.”— Shakespeare.29 There was a day – there was an hour,  24: English naval victories, particularly those of Nelson, had destroyed French naval power.25: Dionysus the Younger of Syracuse, the tyrant whom Plato tried to tutor, was expelled from the cityand set himself up as a schoolteacher in Corinth.26: Nebuchadnezzar.27: BYRON’S NOTE: Legend has it that, upon defeating him, Tamburlaine the Great imprisonedBajazet, the Turkish Emperor, in a travelling cage. Byron parallels Bajazet with Napoleon andTamburlaine with Wellington.28: BYRON’S NOTE: Prometheus, who was punished by Zeus for stealing fire from Heaven andgiving it to Man. Fastened to a rock, he was visited daily by a vulture which ate his liver. B. wrote thefollowing at some time in 1814, addressed to Napoleon, and referring to Prometheus:Unlike the offence, though like would be the fate,His to give life, but thine to desolate;He stole from Heaven the flame, for which he fell,Whilst thine was stolen from the native Hell. (CPW III 269)29: BYRON’S NOTE: Iago’s words at Othello, IV i 70-1. While earth was Gaul’s – Gaul thine – When that immeasurable power Unsated to resign Had been an act of purer fame Than gathers round Marengo’s name And gilded thy decline, Through the long twilight of all time, Despite some passing clouds of crime. 18. But thou forsooth must be a King And don the purple vest, As if that foolish robe could wring Remembrance from thy breast. Where is that faded garment? where The gewgaws thou wert fond to wear, The star,31 the string, the crest? Vain froward child of Empire! say, Are all thy playthings snatched away?19. Where may the wearied eye repose When gazing on the Great; Where neither guilty glory glows,  Nor despicable state? Yes – One – the first – the last – the best – The Cincinnatus of the West, Whom Envy dared not hate, Bequeathed the name of Washington, To make man blush there was but one!] 30: Napoleon won the battle of Marengo in 1800.31: For second thoughts here, see On the Star of the Legion of Honour (printed below).32: Lucius Quinctius Cincinattus was always being called from his farm to rule Rome, and alwaysreturning. B. would have us see Washington as a similarly austere Republican hero, unlike Napoleon.33: The following two spurious stanzas were printed in The Morning Chronicle of April 27th 1814: 20. Yes! better to have stood the storm, A Monarch to the last! Although that heartless fireless form Had crumbled in the blast: Than stoop to drag out Life’s last years, The nights of terror, days of tears For all the splendour past; Then, – after ages would have read Thy awful death with more than dread. 21. A lion in the conquering hour! In wild defeat a hare! Thy mind hath vanished with thy power, For Danger brought despair. The dreams of sceptres now depart, And leave thy desolated heart The Capitol of care! Dark Corsican, ’tis strange to trace
