What do the Land of Oz and the land of Babel have in widespread? Is it the bedazzling glowing of the bright brightness of shimmering silver and gold? How in regards to the horse of a distinct shade? Maybe it is the tower of Oz and the tower of Babel? The Wizard occupied the tower of Oz and Nimrod occupied the tower of Babel, sure? Both rulers had been feared and adorned by its individuals. Is that not a similarity? They had been each the middle of their several cities. Were each of them additionally cursed due their spectacular abundance of glitter and wealth or had been they praised by the Most High? A witch vulnerable one metropolis whereas the opposite was held in blasphemy. What in regards to the Metropolis of our time...the maze wherein we reside? Is there a lesson to be discovered? Could we, mere mortals, probably comprehend the teachings of kids?
Take a lesson...
On Friday 27 2011, my Granddaughter, Gianni participated in a Kindergarten manufacturing/play. The college she attends occurs to be a Christian Academics Institution. Her caricature was "Glinda" the nice witch of the North. Needless to say the story was of the 1939 e book and film, "The Wizard of Oz." The Children placed on a superb efficiency. The viewers was additionally most gracious...the dad and mom and grandparents, and different spectators alike loved the present. The solid of characters was spectacular. The 5, six, and probably seven 12 months olds' paraded down and crosswise the paper-mechea'ed yellow-brick street, which encircled the auditorium/gymnasium and dinning corridor. Cameras of every type snapped, recorded, and popped out from all over the place. The concern of lacking out on the nostalgia (and keep-sake) of the second swept by the air like a sale at J.C. Penny's going out of enterprise parade. The pleasure may very well be felt from the highest of the constructing to the underside.
Finally, the curtain swept open to disclose the artistic geniuses to the nervousness crammed viewers. The thunder of clap and the whisper of awe gave scheme to non-descriptive shrills from the moms, grandmothers, aunts, sisters, and cousins - the 'men-folk' simply smiled approvingly and satisfaction.
The solid of characters had been companyd by 'Jymeer,' 'Rebecca,' 'Jacqueline,' 'Timothy,' 'Bret,' 'Anwar,' 'Morgan,' 'Christian,' 'Joey,' 'William.' 'Amanda,' 'Raya,' 'Evelyn,' 'Ameer,' 'John,' 'Gianni,' 'Zephorah,' and 'Davaughn' had been simply astounding! Many of us are conscious, by way of the film (and probably the e book) of the exploits of the "Tin Woodsman," the "Scarecrow," "the Cowardly Lion," "Dorothy," and "Toto." Remember the goodness of "Glinda" and the whole happy, joyous, and appreciatively liberated "Munchkins?" How in regards to the sly, slick, and boisterous "Wizard/Professor Marvel?" Have you not been furious by the self-satisfaction of "Auntie Em" (Uncle Henry simply scraped his head) when Dorothy tried to inform her one matter?
She made many makes an attempt to electrical relay the truth that "Somematter Wicked This Way Comes!" But they would not hear, would they? They all thought,"this female child is crazy!" It took occasions to return to move to ensure that them to peradventure comprehend that every matter we'd like, be it relationships, monetary system stability, sustenance, and sure...life itself, begins with religion in God - and ne'er religion in Man or Mammon. It is God who positioned us all on the trail of the "Yellow Brick Road" of life. It is as much like us to do the appropriate issues and to like each other...but we decide and critisize whereas it's we who might be judged.
The characters inside the story required to follow with the Yellow Brick Road with the aim to attain the Wizard. They wanted the Wizard with the aim to fulfill their want(s). The street to Hell is defective - you would not get there...it is a unprofitable finish street. The deep and dark land of the wooden is harmful. It's frothed with falsehoods, anti-Gods, demons, devils, and witches. The 'Wicked Ole Witch' tried to kill, destroy, and hold the good-aimed group from reaching their desires and want(s). Could we equate the "Yellow Brick Road" with the Street to salvation? Was it not quoted inside the Bible that it was Jesus who mentioned, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man comes to the Father except through me?" (John14: 6) Where do you stroll on this world of Metropolis?
What street do you use with the aim to reach your required vacation spot? How in regards to the Street of struggle, invasion, and annihilation? Did it not take 'Glinda,' the nice witch - the guardian angel to look at over the company - to maintain them on the straight and slender?
The Scarecrow wanted a mind inside the land of Oz. Would you not agree that God gave us all a mind with the potential to have nice knowledge? "If any of you lacks wisdom, she/he should ask God, who gives generously to all without fault, and it will run to him." (James 1:5)
The Tin Man wished a coronary heart. What would you do when you had no coronary heart? Every day individuals present no love for one other. What ever occurred to "We The People?" The politicos continually assault that which they do not occur to agree - the President needs good issues for the individuals of this U.S. Metropolis whereas his colleagues' deal with hate, riches, lust, and contempt. Is it possible for God to alter the hate inside the Black Maria of man and girl? "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh." (Ezekiel 36:26)
The Lion wished bravery. Do we get our bravery from the data of God? Isn't it he who's all the time with us - defensive us? When we start to know this and consider and follow bravery, the extra bravery we will have with the aim to maintain our very existence on this planet to face for what is true - some the enemy or problem. "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or panic-struck because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will ne'er leave you nor abandon you." (Deuteronomy 31:6)
Dorothy wished to go habitation. "There's no place like home!" Your house is your bastion - nonentity dares to disrespect it, sure? I ponder...with all the foreclosures, relocations, bankruptcies, floods, coverage schemes and scams, starvation, and job loss after job loss; the politicos wish to eradicate Social Security, Unemployment Insurance, Unions, Medicare, Medicaid, Food Stamps, and Public Welfare whereas delivery our jobs abroad with the aim to get richer (avoiding the tax man with shelters and low overhead, i.e., respectable reward to the employees). They don't want to contribute their fair proportion whereas supporting elevating taxes on you and me. They inform you your future is safe..."just anti-up on your contributions - we need your money" - it would not matter when you obtain U.C., S.S., or another supplemental or residual income...it's TAXABLE! The entirely energy is O.P.M. (Other Peoples Money). There's no place like habitation...? I do not assume I'll dwell wherever apart from the good-ole U.S. - what are they doing to the individuals in different international locations. Remember Zarganar? How in regards to the atrocities that happen in Mother Africa, Asia, Egypt, and oh sure - the Entire Middle East additionally to few different unmentionable societies? It is alleged that now we have the right habitation awaiting us in Heaven - whereas we shit throughout this one. This world is NOT OUR HOME - WE ARE ONLY TENANTS - WE ARE HERE TEMPORARILY! "But we are citizens of heaven, where the Lord, OUR GOD (Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Jew, Buddhist, and any other so-called religious denomination) lives." (Philippians 3:20)
Let me inform you of Babel...the Land, the Tower.
"Come let us build us a tower whose top may reach unto the stars! And on the top of the tower we will write the words: Great is the World and its' Creator! And great is Man!"
But the minds that had planned the tower of Babel couldn't construct it. The job was too nice. So they employed arms for reward. But the arms that constructed the tower of Babel knew nomatter of the dream of the mind that had planned it. Thousands upon 1000's sweat and bled and died. One man's hymns of reward turned the opposite man's curses. People spoke the identical language, nevertheless couldn't comprehend one other...
The head and the arms weren't in cohesion, one dominant the opposite subjective. Great is the world and its' Creator and nice is Man - "The Head and the hands required a intercessor!"
The mind behind the dream couldn't direction/let in the employed hand(s)...and started to sow discord betwix the top and the hand(s) - divide and conquer. The lust and want to let in and direction - suppress, oppress, possess, and trigger hate...quickly introduced the tower tumbling and crumbling down - into the mud from which it got here.
Take heed and be forewarned (Powers that Be)...the seven deadly sins (wrath, greed, sloth, satisfaction, lust, envy, and gluttony) - Avarice being the forefront follow of many governments and their so-called leadership - covetousness, lust, and gluttony. Does this all sound acquainted...as of late? The limelight life of the wealthy, the well-known, the political panhandlers and warmongers might be their/your/our undoing. These signs have come to pass on quite few events, have they not?
"Let the workers do as they will...let those in the depths use force and do wrong, so that we can be even in victimisation force against them...behold a New World Order!"
Out from amongst us, a intercessor whose amount is forty-four. They will try to destroy (our) perception in him. Who is the guts? Peace be thy identify (some who name Yashua, Jesus, and the Christ). "Oh intercessor, show them (the head and the hands) the way to each other...!"
The kids proceed to indicate us the best way. Ask them if it issues in regards to the shade of the pores and skin of their pal(s) - see them play, sing, eat, run, sleep, snort, and hug together with out motive or rhyme - see them entertain with their genius and zeal, the cohesion of affection, religion, and impression in one other whereas they're protected against the evil, animosity, and hate on this land between Oz and Babel.
Take a lesson.
Til future time...
