Century of Contest

Chrissy, I’m not sure I followed all the numberology — okay, I am sure I didn’t follow all of it :) — but I believe I got the gist that things are coming to a head, to which conclusion observation of the times would seem to lend great credence. :(

Doesn’t it seem that the Insane are hardening their hearts against Truth and Right in all aspects of life, more distinctly and publicly than ever? That natural enemies form inconceivable coalitions (Code Pinko and Muz Bro’hood??) based on their mutual opposition to the Right and Valuable? Easy to imagine their diabolical Leader is starting to feel the pressure of being backed into a corner and is not going down peacefully.

It’s almost as if a Great Choice were being forced, no fence-sitting anymore.

But, in so many ways, the Prince of Lies vs. the Spirit of Truth is a lonnng-time constant in this life, so maybe it’s just another day in the life of the planet. @@

I can’t say as I’d buy the idea that “God granted Satan extra power over His church.” As a matter of interpretation of things. (Knowing no more than I do, which is nothing.) Our Lord: “You have the time; you will have the power. Do with them what you will.” Sounds t’me more like, “Y’think so, huh? Go ahead! Try.” as opposed to, “Here, bad dude, have a bunch of extra power and time.”

Explicitly, it sounds like, “You have [such] time… [and] power [as you've got].” But I tend to think of such things in terms of, what would a parent do? Grant as much merciful delay as seems proper, perhaps, but that would not change by some rebellious child’s taunting request. Certainly a parent may allow evil choices, allow the consequences to do the persuading that the parent couldn’t, but would not expressly enable nor abet the evil choices. No doubt the debbil would think he got a big allotment, and he may act like he’s empowered and all that, which has real-world consequences in the madness he generates, but really, sorry, he’s mostly pathetic. Like Judas before he realized his error. Only this one is the fight for the whole planet. Am I rambling? Sorry.

I especially liked the Pope’s prayer.
