My Considered Opinion on Harold Camping and May 21, 2011

Apologies to those who believed this.  Nothing personal is meant.

The Bible was quite clear when it said that false prophets would arise, and if possible, deceive even the Elect.
The Bible made it pretty clear how to identify these false prophets, too.  Their words would not line up with the Word of God.  They would quote Scripture, but they would change subtle things when they quoted it, to totally misrepresent the whole text.  For example, this particular false prophet named Harold Camping turned "No One Knows the Day or the Hour, Period" into "No One Knows the Day or the Hour, Question Mark?"  That subtle difference introduced doubt into the Words of God, and caused people to go astray and be led through their confusion to follow a Blind Man and expect that they could forecast the Unknowable Plan of God.
Amazingly, the Bible was even more specific than this, too, when it told how you could identify the false prophets.  It said that false prophets would be those who deny that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh.  We Christians have always taken that warning to be a historical reference to the Gnostics in the first century who denied that Jesus' coming was physical and historical.  But evidently, it had an interpretation for our times too/  For on May 22, 2011, to exhonoroate his failed prediction, Harold Camping stated that Jesus Christ did come, but not in the flesh.  He further introduced doubt into the Words of God by implying that God's greatest Promises about the Future, may in fact be only metaphors.  Not real solutions.  Nothing that can actually help us or save the Earth.
I protest.  I disagree.  Isn't a God like that useless?
I will argue that the Bible has given us yet another clue about false prophets.  False prophets are all those who preach a message of condemnation, or confusion.  Who fail to draw all men to Christ because they are painting Him out to be harsh, hateful, mean and perverse.  More full of "Judgement" than he really is.  Time after time after time again I hear the Word proclaimed: "JUDGEMENT!"  Westboro Baptist Church (who say God Hates America).  Dove World Outreach Center (the Burn-a-Qu'ran church).  Harold Camping, who detatched himself from the sufferings of his Time by sneering, "YOUR world is now under Judgement," when God called him to Love, Love, and Give Aid.  To Feed His Sheep.
Yes, the Bible speaks of judgement.  But it speaks of a God who always Remembers Mercy in Judgement.  It speaks of God who delivers, who rescues, who uplifts.  Who loves.  It speaks of a God who is ready to step in at any moment, forgive, fix, and save.  In our troubled Times He is needed more than any other God.  Certainly more than the false one who false prophets say is poised, ready to strike at any moment, ready to afflict bruised reeds and slaughter innocent hopes.
The face of Christianity is smeared with false prophets but the Bible stand unobscured.  Come, buy food without Price.  Though your Sins be as Scarlet, they Shall be White as Snow.  There can be a Worldwide Day of Mercy on October 21, 2011, or indeed, on any Day, if we will but choose it.  Christ's arm is outstretched, not in Judgement, but in a Loving Embrace of Sacrifice.  His Cross.  The Church forgot to take it up.  Instead, they took up a Sword.  Lay down the Sword, pick up the Cross.  His Gospel is PEACE.  His Gospel is PEACE.
PEACE.  Planet Earth Anxiously Craves Eternity
MERCY.  Miraculous Earth Rejoicing Cries Yes
I did feel something on May 21, 2011, at 6pm.  I felt something Spiritual.  It was not Harold Camping's prediction, but it was instead, a rapturous feeling of Joy:  Joy that I am Saved, Joy that I am on Earth, Joy that God is not finished with my Planet, Joy that He still saves, still Heals, and is still Creating Beauty the World Over, in People's Lives and in Natural Places.  In Shenandoah National Park in the Waterfalls and in the Forests.  God is Love, God is Here, Now.  Alive.  Powerful.  Wonderful.  And Yours.  Abundant.
EMBRACE!

Day of Mercy

There are many who Foretell a Day of Judgement.
In so Foretelling, most of these same Many
Eclipse a larger Truth:
It is Principally, a Day of Mercy.

God is not Anger.  God is not Rage.  God is Merciful.  God is Just.  God is Loving. God Gives Life.

It may very well be that God will one day grab each Human's thoughts, each Human in the entire World, at once, and in that Moment He may reveal to Man His Power.  This Moment may look like Catastrophe, but God always has a Purpose of Mercy.  He reproves, but a bruised reed he will not afflict.  He looks on the lowly and gives grace to the meek and unknowing.  He shows Compassion to those who didn't Believe Him.  How can anyone be drawn to Him if He is just Angry?  Resentful?  Punitive?  Harsh?

Take my Yoke upon You, and Learn of Me.  For I am Meek and Lowly of Heart.  My Yoke is Easy and My Burden is Light.

There is no stoppage of Love here.  There is no policing of Joy.  There is Life for an Outcast, a Vagabond, a Scoundrel.  "I am counted with the Thieves," He said of His Cross.  A lineage of Slaves who became Kings.  These are His People.  Not the Proud.

There are ramblings in the Earth, for the Earth is Changing.  It can be Changed for the Better!  Why attribute Hatred to the unseen purposes of God?  Why attribute Impatience?  Vengeance?  Damnation?

My Christ is not One to pick a quarrel with the Common Man.  My Christ protects the Universe!  He wrestles with Satan!  He is far too glorious to be concerned with the methods of 'judgement' which you understand.  He sees all.  Knows hidden purposes.  Hidden thoughts.  Hidden intent.  He knows the great Spring of Goodness in Each Human Heart.  And by subtly guiding Each Human along who choose to follow Him, He coaxes that Goodness past all of that Dross, and Polishes, Varnishes, causes to Shine.

That is the way of Jehovah.  Not give up and toss.  Crinkle your Canvas, throw it away.  Too many mistakes in that Creation.

God loves Mistakes.
God loves YOU.








Day of Mercy,
KiJjiT

(Watching and Waiting) A Tale of Shenandoah

The Morning came on May 21, 2011 -- and around the WORLD, People were Watching, and People were Waiting.  Events long prophesied, understood from the Bible, meant that Today was the Day of the Lord.  A Day of Judgment for Sinners.  A Day of Rapture for the Righteous. Watching, and Waiting.

The Fox was in a Magic Tent with Eight Brothers, pitched near the slope called Black Rock.  He awoke, stepped out the Tent, and there was his Wolf-Brother Bill, already awake.  Watching, and Waiting.

Wolf-Brother wasn't making Breakfast.  He wasn't making Coffee.  He was doing what Wolves do.  He was Watching, and Waiting.  A Turkey was crossing the campsite.  He was calling the Turkey with a trick of his tongue, leading it astray.  Showing the Age-Old Beauty of a Hunter Luring Prey.  Watching and Waiting.

Soon two more Wolf-Brothers, my Son Dakota, two Bear-Brothers, and my Father the Silver Fox, all emerged from their various dens, which all together, made up the Magic Tent.  We dined, and departed, for steeper slopes.  The Right Paths Upon Our Feet.  That we might Walk, and Remember.  Watching, and Waiting.

Silver Father Fox and Wolf-Brother Bill departed from my company.  They engaged in Other Matters while just Seven of us descended.  Down a steep and craggy climb called the Cedar Creek Run.

What we saw there, was Heaven.  We were Raptured.  We ascended the valley as we hiked.  'White Oak Canyon': It was entirely like a Rapture.  In Heaven, here's what happens -
You are made Young.
You are so Free!
You Run with your Feet!
You Leap and You Skip!
You jump in the puddles and wade in the pools!
You Smile at Children!
You Romp with your Dogs!
You Stop to Make Friends!
You Meet Challenges!
You Hear the Voice of God!
You TRIUMPH!

All these Things, and more, happened to my Party as we were hiking.  It was a Day more Glorious to fully render in Words.  It was, in a sense, the Most Wonderful Day of My Life.

I looked at my Watch.  Hike was over.  What was Time?  Precisely 5:58pm.

We Waited.  We Watched.  But the 'Rapture' didn't happen?  Or did it? 
Well, to me, who never believed in what they call 'Physical Rapture,' wonder of wonders, it did.  'Rapture' means Joy, Joy & Salvation!  And these are things I have. 

And there is a God.
And there is Destruction.
There are Natural Disasters.

But God is not judging.
God has not Chaged.
God is the Same, Yesterday & Forever!
The World may Change
but His Love will not End.
He calls ever down to the Children of Men,
And in this Day,
As Before,
He is saying the Same:
That all those Who Trust Him are Saved.
Period.
No juice.

World Without End.

FANE.
For A New Earth.

Be not dismayed, O Kijjiketch!  The ramblings of the Earth will Increase.
But You are ESCAPESPACE.
Out of the BOXX
and into Delight!

Follow the Red Fox with the Red Flag to Freedom!
I can show you the Way into Eden!

JESUS.
LOVE.
& EARTH.

1,2,3.  God.  So Loved.  The WORLD.

Secrets.

Here's a RiDDLe

Here's a Riddle...
Does the World Work?
Does it?
Well, does It?
Does the W.O.R.L.D.
W.O.R.K.?  Will Our Righteous King?

What's Going On?
Can you complete this Song?
Or is this Riddle too FoXy to Sing?

Oceany-Beach!

My dear, favorite Land of Oceany-Beach:  Oceany-Beach of California!  Of San Diego!  I greet all you People with the eagerness of my Heart!

It will not be long that a FoX shall spring upon you, and walk on the Boardwalk and Beach!  I have a Good Word to all and a flashyface Smile!

My Smile says, "Be Blessed!"
To each Soul I pass by.
And if you stop me to talk,
Then I'll tell you why
This Red Fox has come:
To help Save the Earth!
I came back to the place
Where I found my Rebirth.

Asking for a Fish

Your Father knows Best what is Good for You.

It is said, that if you ask Him for a Fish, He will in no wise give You a Serpent.
It is said, that if you ask Him for a Loaf of Bread, He will not insult You by hurling a Rock.
To receive Good Things, all we need do is ask.
He is capable of giving Good Gifts to His Children.

The Human Race is God's Children.
Just as is the Fox Race, to whom God grants Abundant Rivers and Forests that supply his every Need.

The Human Race faces NO troubles that God our Father is unwilling or unable to solve.
Heaven is Salvation.
H.O.P.E. is Heaven on Planet Earth.
I believe in Hope and Change, and you can too.

It is said, that if what your Father tells you contradicts what's in your heart, it is not your Father, but your Heart, that is the problem.
In my own Life there are times I have followed the pull of my Heart, and this has led me both to Sorrow and to Bliss.
But when my Heart led me to Sorrow, it was because my Heart was not in line with Father's.
When my Heart led me to Bliss, I was all along walking His Road.

I am not speaking of the false God others worship, the God so distant and untouched by Humanity.
The God who is sitting poised on a cloud ready to end the World in Fire.
I am talking about He Who Comes to Abundify the Earth.
I am talking about the Creator-Redeemer, the Sky-Opener, the Rain Maker, the Helper, the Healer, our Father, the Host.
A thousand tongues and a Thousand Grandfathers have pointed the Way to His Shining Star.
I myself have knelt at that Shrine at the Holiest Place in the Holiest Woods.
The Universe is a Woods, you know.  The Sanctuary of the Most High.

It is possible that Your Father knows better than Your Heart.
He will not betray you even when your Heart is false.

If the Human Race would Trust in Father, they could heal their rashworn Earth.

The Bible and Earth

It goes without saying that the Fox sees things differently than the way most humans see things.
However, the Fox has this in common with many humans: he is a Believer in God, and a student of the Bible.  To the Fox, the Bible is the most important Book on Earth; and very, very magical. 

It goes without saying that the Fox reads the Bible differently than the way many humans read the Bible.

I recently accepted a position with a noted Environmentalist Organization.  I was very excited about this news, and shared it with the humans I know at my local church.  Most were supportive, but one individual expressed his opinion thusly: "The Bible says this World is about to be destroyed, anyway.  Why worry about trying to save the Earth?  There are more important things, like winning people to Christ."

Within the congregations of the Bible Believers, there are many who feel this way.  "End Times" hysteria is so prevalent that it has produced a best-selling Book Series (Left Behind) and now a nationwide movement that firmly believes the End of the World is May 21, 2011 - just 9 days away.

The Fox respectfully disagrees, and furthermore, the Fox believes that People who believe this way have read the Bible wrong.  Does the Bible, in fact, say that this World is about to be destroyed?  Does it give us a precise date?  What can we, in fact, know about the Future?

Perhaps the most descriptive thing the Bible says about the "end" is in 2 Peter 3:10, where it says "the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up."  The following verse reiterates that the earth will be "dissolved," and in verse 13, tells us we should be looking for "a new Earth."

Another chapter, Revelation 21, describes the "new heavens and the new earth" and it says that the "first heaven and the first earth" will be "passed away."

This is where most students of the Bible close their Books and believe that the case is closed.  The Fox believes that a few other facts and verses should be kept in mind:

Romans 8:19-22 is one of the key doctrinal passages of the Christian Faith, and is constantly overlooked by today's Christian apocalypticists. 

 ¹⁹For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
 ²⁰For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,
 ²¹Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
 ²²For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
 ²³And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.

These verses clearly show that "the creature," which is here a general term meaning all creatures, Creation itself (see verse 22 where the text defines its terms for you - "the whole creation"), is longing for "the redemption."  The creature was made subject to vanity (human Sin) through the Fall of Adam.  But the creature shall also be delivered.  The Redemption of Christ is Perfect and Complete.  Since all Creation fell, all Creation shall be redeemed.  It would be backwards of God to allow the fall of His entire Creation, then save Humans only and destroy the rest.

Paul, in Romans 8:19-23, references the "pain" of Creation.  Surely this is what we see today, in our age of Global Warming and environmental disaster after environmental disaster.  According to Job 12:8, Earth itself is capable of speech and communication... So what is She saying about pollution?  Oil spills?  Deforestation?  Emissions of poisonous gases by her children the Humans?  Make no mistake: According to the Bible itself, Earth feels this pain and groans on account of it: and the Bible promises that Earth will be delivered.

So what about the Earth "vanishing away," then?  Is this a contradiction?
Absolutely not.  Those who take 2 Peter 3 to mean the complete destruction of Earth have misread the chapter.  For 2 Peter 3:6 uses the word "perished" to refer to what the World did in the Flood of Noah's day.  Evidently, the Biblical "perish" is not the same as complete destruction.  It is, however, a wiping of the slate, a starting over, a new Order of things, a new Age.

In the period of judgment of this current world Revelation 9:4 says that God sends Angels who have this specific commmandment: "And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads." 

The New Earth will be a passing away of the Old Earth in the same sense that coming to Christ is becoming a New Creature.  To come to Christ does not mean you must physically die, but only that you transfer your citizenship to a new order.  The New Earth will be Eden, restored.  It will be Earth, recycled.  It will be Man in living in Balance with Nature again, for the first time in several thousand years: "The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them."  (Isaiah 11:6)

The Bible foretells a time near the End of human history where governments collapse and economies are destroyed.  The Human Population is drastically reduced by war, famine, and natural disasters.  But at the end of this period there is a renewal, a return to godliness, a return to faith, and a healing of the Earth.  Paradise literally descends from the skies and rests at the site of Jerusalem (Revelation 21). 

Anyone who believes this is behooved to honor and protect our current Earth.  Christians should be Environmentalists and safeguards of the Eden our God gave us.

Welcome to the Family of Change

Nothing is ever more important than your Family.

What Parents you are born to is an important question, which God decides before your Soul ever touches Earth.
You should be proud of your Parents, and thankful for the way they raised you.
These were important lessons that you had to learn, and you learned them from the Best.
No other Parents had the same experiences as your Parents.  No one else could have raised you in quite the same way.  You are Who You Are, for a Reason.

When Spring comes and Earth thrills, and the time is at hand for finding Love,
What travels you take are important.
For God has ordained at a certain place and time,
You will find the right Vixen.
And it is only this Vixen who will bring the right Kits,
Whom you are the right Father to bear.

This is the way of every species, not only the way of the FoX.
A time one day comes for a Child to be a Man.
For a Nation to be great.
For a Future to be born.
It is to all these moments you are drawn, like a Fox,
Who can always be counted on
To show up when Great Things Change.

I am the Fox.
I'm KiJjiT the Fox.
I am a Human who follows the Fox.
The Way of the Fox,
My Totem, the Fox:
The Fox has taught me and the Fox teaches you that now is the time when
GREAT THINGS CHANGE.

The Year of the FoX is the Year of Great Change.
Great Things will change for you, as well,
Whoever chances to read this.
This is a Blessing that is within the power of all Saints to give.
A power of calling things into being.  Things which are not as though they were. I say Loose Great Change, and it is a certainty, Great Change will materialize.

The Fox is an agent of Change.
Change, Earth, Change & Grow.
