The Last Age

In the last age the people of the earth shall forget the Lord their God, foolishly turning their hearts to the kingships of the fallen realm. They shall cry out to the governments of men, to corrupt rulers and false leaders for all manner of need, for food, wealth, medicines, and shelter, saying to themselves, what need have we of God that the governments of our own hand do not offer?

And those rulers of men, descendants of the rulership of Cain, shall respond with false charity, seeking to raise high their power over the people. For they are cunning in the ways of men, knowing that by becoming the supplier of the people's needs, their own measure of power shall be magnified by equal measure to that which they provide.

The people shall grow complacent in the provisions of their rulers, no longer seeking to provide for themselves nor for the needs of the impoverished, the sick, nor the widow or the orphan. The ways of charity shall become forgotten as all men become able to exist off the wealth of their fallen governments.

And the rulers of the people shall say one to another, see the power we have gained over the people as they become needy of that which we provide. We are become as gods to them now as they become dependant upon us for all things. We shall increase our stature yet more by encouraging their dependency and shall our power over their lives expand without end. And as their dependency upon us grows, so shall we demand more wealth of the societies we rule to continue providing all the more for their needs.

We shall sow strife amidst the masses. We shall spread notions of injustice against one group and persecution against another so that the people be pitted against one another. They shall forget their goodwill to one another and become divided, thinking their own fellow citizen to be their oppressor and all of them shall turn to us for relief of whatever oppression we name.

In these days shall the governments of the fallen magnify themselves against the Lord their God. Thinking to become greater in the hearts of men than the Creator of all men, they shall make an affront of themselves to the same God which is their own Creator as well. But as in the days of Nimrod who built Babel, the Pharaohs who enslaved God’s chosen, and the Caesars who slaughtered his children, they shall crumble in time before He which is timeless.

Thereby shall the sons of men, generation to generation witness time and again the vanity of their corrupt rulers and failing kingdoms, forever crumbling before the ageless God. Thereby shall God become more gloried as the unchanging, undying Spirit which he is now, forever has been and always shall be. For as it is written, I have raised you high that by you, my power and my name shall be declared throughout all the earth.

In the final days of the last age the sons of men shall fully abandon the Kingdoms of Cain and the vanity of their fallen governments. They shall become wantonly and wholly servant to the ways of God, exuding the same grace to one another which God has shown to them. They shall practice charity to one another, that no king may use the poverty of one as excuse to claim the wealth of another. Sons and daughters shall no longer be taken from their mothers to fight the wars of fallen kings for no such kings shall any longer exist. All nations shall be as one in this age and at peace as the Spirit of our God becomes one with the flesh, blood and spirit of all men.

For as the vanity of fallen governance is learned by all men so shall the wisdoms of charity, grace and peace become more known to the sons of men. In that day shall the governance of the fallen be no more.

The Kingdoms of Cain

That which rules us now, these governments of men, these rulers of the fallen realm, these are not the things of the beginning. These are the legacy of Cain, the kingships of men and governments of the fallen, temporary in nature as the kingdom of God encroaches upon the hearts of men and exudes through our behaviour toward one another.

For the evil of human rule is evident in its origins as its founder himself was a murderer. Cast out from the sons of God, he became a vagabond upon the earth until such time as he built the first of the cities of men, making himself first ancestor to all fallen rulers. From him came the first borders which divide the nations and the first weights and measures which portioned out goods and supplies of food to those under his rule. From him came the fallen laws of human government, making men accountable to human rather than Godly rule. Through his fallen governance were the greater ways of God replaced will craftiness, deceit and cunning. And through his corruption did all governments of men became become inherently corrupt themselves, all bearing the fallen mark of Cain.

For governments bear great power over multitudes of people, powers of war, of law, of distribution of food and goods, of judgement, imprisonment and ultimately, powers of life and death over the citizen. But those who staff the halls of human government are not fit for such power because they are as fallen as the citizens whom they govern. For all men are equally fallen from the ways of God and equally weak against temptation although those who covet positions of great power arrogantly think better of themselves. But as they achieve their political ambitions they suddenly find themselves subject to yet greater temptations than dealt with as a common man. They are equally weak but subject to greater temptations, and being arrogant in the face of their their weakness, they ignorantly succumb to their temptations all the more quiçkly. And the temptations of power are of self righteous pride and arrogance, thinking oneself greater than common men, above them in wisdom, and fit to rule over them, self righteously subjugating the lives of the masses to their own will. Thus do the fallen rulers of men and the governments of Cain make of themselves an affront to God, the Creator of all men who alone is qualified for such such authority.

That which ruled us in the beginning, that which governed our hearts and guided our dealings with our brethren was not the fallen kingships of men but the indwelling presence and union with our Lord God and Creator. And those were the days which knew no war, no tyranny, no injustice, poverty nor strife amongst men. These are the days to which the societies of men shall one day return, freed from the oppressive rule of the fallen as we gradually, from generation to generation return our hearts and minds to the greater ways of our Eternal God and Creator.

Children of God, judge not the impoverished brother, whether or not he is deserving of his plight. When tempted of judgement, judge inwardly, recalling your own sins instead that you may escape the judgement of He that knows no sin and is qualified to judge all. Give aid to the impoverished, that no ruler may have cause to increase his power over you by confiscating your wealth to aid those you could have aided yourself.

Be not inflamed in times of conflict with your brother, seeking magistrates of fallen government to judge your dispute and vengefully impose harsh rule of human law upon your neighbor. Give grace instead, knowing that the grace given you by God was meant to be exuded to others rather than hoarded within yourself. Speak kindly with your brother in times of conflict and resolve disputes without need of those who already seek greater power over your life.

Be generous to your servants, knowing that your God’s generosity to you is meant to be given as well as received. Pay them well for their labors, lest fallen rulers use your greed as excuse to impose onerous laws upon your treatment of those whom you employ.

Defer in all ways to that which you know God would have you do. For in this way shall you make useless and unnecessary the fallen governments of Cain which use the failings of men to empower themselves over all.

For by the ways of God, practice by all men shall the halls of power be made empty and left without justification of their fallen rule. In this way shall the Kingdom of God be made welcome by all men upon the face of the earth. In this way shall we more quickly and more fully put down the governments of Cain, rejoining ourselves forever to the greater Kingdom of God.
