No! it sounds very earthly to me.
Everything sounds like an internal spiritual battle to you.
Why?
Because without anything within/internal there is nothing external, and because I've experienced it, and continue to.. And the Lord is seeking ones to worship in Spirit and truth.
Why wouldn't God make all that known to us? Why bother to make everything earthly and then have his word mean only something spiritual?
You go too far IMO.
It has been made known. People are just too conditioned to see that, and refuse to let go of religious beliefs for that which has been proven truth, and revealed to mankind. Truth: that which is known. Knowledge has been revealed daily for thousands of years. That which is seen and known of truth and basic common sense defies many religious beliefs. Why would God have people for thousands of years praying for something they'll never see unless they looked within? It can be made well known if you search within, and meditate. . What the Lord wants people to do. This isn't easy, it would mean having to close off the mind and everything you think you know, and be patient and wait for Him. Seek properly and you shall find. And when He gives answers, it's your choice and free will to listen, forsake all, lose your life to save it... or continue to do things your way, and your beliefs because the trust and faith in God is not worth that to one. It's painful, but the experience is miraculous in itself. A beauty and peace beyond the natural.
What is wrong with earthly things that you have such distaste fot it?
We are God's creation...the earth is God's creation...we were meant to enjoy living on it forever....we still will because God's first purpose did not go away with man's disobedience. It got temporarily sidetracked for a time is all.
I have no distaste for many earthly things. Also proven our bodies are made of the earth, and we have that connection. Earthly marriage is beautiful, when two are both spiritually joined to God, nature is beautiful, etc.
The purpose is for fallen mankind's mind and hearts to be changed, transformed. True... Spiritual marriage and Union is being joined spiritually(heavenly) to earthly(bodily).
And this is all the result of what happened in Eden. All this is mentioned in the scriptures and prophesy takes place right on time....(God's time, not our time) and it will all end up as God purposed in the first place.
Of course it will, God has been just and in sovereign control of all things and individuals for eternity. It's also common sense on the question and answer: why would God place a literal serpent and literal Apple in paradise, knowing mankind would literally eat and fail, and punish everyone else because of this. What was a serpent doing in paradise? That would be unjust and not of God.
To wish God would come and destroy humans and set up shop earthly, is anti-God, and earthly in itself. Who would wish that in their heart? You truly have the heart to want God to come and destroy humans' and give you the earth. That sounds selfish. To wish God would return to us and others, and destroy our sin, evil, falsehood within, now that's a child of God.
The NOW.
What God put in place in Eden will yet be brought to fruition by means of the kingdom that Jesus taught us to pray for.
Humans' are supposed to be the salt of the earth and the light shining through in the world, God's will through us. The kingdom should come in lives NOW and also upon physical death.
The kingdom has already come upon me, and many others over the past thousands of years.
As Isaiah said......
“So my word that goes forth from my mouth will prove to be. It will not return to me without results, but it will certainly do that in which I have delighted. And it will have sure success in what I send it to do.” (
Isaiah 55:10, 11)
Was there a flaw in God's original purpose in your estimations?
