John the Apostate

He says, "For not one yote nor tiddle
"Shall pass from the Law, until all is accomplished
"And heaven and Earth pass away."

Truthfully, I plainly tell him,
"This is true, but there are two covenants
"And two laws, one of condemnation and another of grace."

To which, I quote many verses, and he his one.
And then he says I made a pathetic response
To which, I guess Paul's meanings are unknown to him.

I say, "The seed is eaten up by the fowl
"And you are constantly learning, but never arriving at the truth."
To which he says I am talking about a mirror.

At some point, he blocks me... and this argument happens often
About a lot of different subjects, the real answer is nuanced
But they want a singular, and linear form.

The Author I Could Turn Into

A Jaded pedant, tortured by his fame
Trying to sell his soul to the audience
And his craft, to make it relevant again.
Torturously wrong about everything
But his concepts in vogue, yet never original.
That is the author I could be.
I almost ask him, "Why are you so angry?"
And then I realize... yes... I realize.

Donald Trump

I called you the Antichrist...
I should not have.
Stay out of war...
I'm sorry for saying so,
But the truth is I was sick
As I still am,
And taught to prophesy
When I really shouldn't have.
Again, stay out of war.
For I should not have judged.

Most Admired

Walk with me through the fields
And rub the grains upon the stalks
Wheaty is the fruit, and fish upon the beach
With mustard and some salt.

I recline with You, at Your bosom
And feel absolute Platonic love…
The reaching for the highest goodness
And I know You came from above.

Enjoy our company, You were a man
You lived upon this Earth one day…
The teachings man had taught
Were not Yours or the right way.

You taught us to love our neighbor
You taught us to obey our kings;
Even if unto death, they say
Yet You led Israel around in rings
When man had seen You, first time
In the deserts they did drive.

The second time, the second time,
You were there crucified.

Why does man go so crazy
When they see the face of God?
Only the righteous can approach You
And only the righteous do You give a nod.
Thus, what was taught, I know not the sundry thing…
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus Christ, You my soul, to heaven, brings.

The Oyster and His Pearl

The great congregation at market was set, that all the Mollusks came to sell their shells. And great were the shells, they'd break pieces off of themselves, and sell it to all the other animals of the sea.

An Oyster came to market, too, with a peculiar object. A great, rainbow pearl, with many colors swirling in its opalescent sheen. The other sea creatures looked upon it, and laughed, "That, that's not worth a dime. It's just made from an upset bowel. You ought to cast it away, and sell pieces of your shell like the rest of us."

But, the Oyster persisted, and every week the sea creatures would grow disturbed that this Oyster would not relent to sell his shell. "Why does this fool keep it up? If he just broke pieces of his shell, and sold them, he'd be rich like us. Instead, he tries to sell this worthless thing?"

Finally, a Man was walking through the market, and saw the pearl... he was not so much interested in the shells... and all the Sea Creatures were content to purchase their bullion among themselves. But, the Man, seeing the pearl was dazzled by it, never seeing anything like it. "This is why I come to market," said the Man, who offered a whole lifetime's salary for the one pearl.

Finally, all the other sea creatures were impressed, but also a bit jealous. But  some, even, made pearls themselves.

The Lamb

There once was a Lamb, full of wool. He sheared himself every winter for his penury. Yet, he lived with a Wolf, whom would tell the Lamb every winter, "No one buys wool anymore, only cotton." Yet, the Lamb's wool was so soft and luxurious, the Wolf secretly stole the Lamb's wool, and sold it to make the finest dyed sweaters.

The Lamb would wonder why there be not any profit, and would bleat for help. Came the Lion; he too, being king, saw the wool was excellent, and took his cut from the Wolf, to hide the misdeed.

Finally, a Man came upon the sheep, and wondered why he was poor. He found out, and shot the Wolf and Lion dead, and restored the profits to the Lamb with interest. For the Man was the Sheep's Shepherd, and Caretaker, and kept him fed in his poverty all those years, and loved his little Lamb.

How Mebd Makes Peace

The armies come upon their chariots,
Strong men, whom Mebd knows...
Glittering is their armor,
Great is their might.
Stirred into battle by rumors at a bad pig roast.
Yet, Mebd knows how to make peace.
She brings the maidens out of their huts
Bare chested, and numerous.
And they await the host.
For what stirs the barbarian's heart
To cease combat, is the offering of women.
Mebd knows the hearts of her compatriots well...
And then games proceed, where heroes do their duty
And the comical Ulsters go about their business
With their weird politics, of stirrings and caprice.

How I wonder if our world leaders are not like so?

The Daughter of Zion

She’s Zion, and she’s going to give birth to the Messiah—bring deliverance for herself and all the world, through a virgin birth. She’s an “Imperious Whore” according to Ezekiel, and perhaps it means that she steals the LORD’s glory, but is saved regardless. That’s how far she’s fallen, and she’s backslidden, and a sinner. She usurps God’s divine authority, and places herself on top, and compasses her master.

It might actually be related to the Catholic Church’s fetishization of Mary, too. But, it talks of a specific person.

According to the prophecies, she’s a murderer, sexually perverse—reveal Jerusalem’s abominations to her—and places herself in divine authority and the place of God, but she’s forgiven nonetheless. She might not even be aware she’s doing it, as Satan’s gotten good at controlling people unwillfully, so perhaps her conscience is good, but her subconscious sins. Like everyone’s on Earth.

She’s of a sect who Satan should have never been able to have this power over her—of an Anabaptist tradition—but they do. It’s Satan’s coercion, that people cannot be righteous anymore due to the corruptive influence of sin, so she’ll have to bring deliverance into the world.

But, she is the Woman in Revelation, and will be saved. She’s Zion. There’s a male component of Zion, too, as the poetry is quite nuanced.

That’s also why Almah can be interpreted as “Virgin” or “Maiden” is that it has that duel fulfillment.

But, with regard to Galatians 3:28 women have equal place in the Kingdom of Heaven as men, but due to the curse, they’re placed in a subordinate role here on Earth.

Number, Operation and Geometry And Pontifications on Riemann’s Hypothesis

Algebra would not work without geometry. Neither would Group Theory. And if you can't figure out why Double Primes would be useful in finding a pattern in primes (useful, not saying they could, because it could still be completely random, but then maybe that randomness could be used to establish a pattern for understanding randomocity, and would be a geometry we could use to understand that), then I can't explain to you why all that other stuff is true.

But if I try, think deeply about [what I'm saying]. Algebra works on the consistency of number and operation. Which has its root in geometry. We can only know algebra and operation works, because we observe it in geometry. Without geometry, there would be no algebra, or any use for it. As all things explained by algebra, relate to geometry. Everything in math, relates to a physical representation, and if it can't, it's not usable. That's why there are not negative cubed roots, but there are quartic.

And double primes are important for finding a pattern in prime numbers, because it's the only pattern we have to go by, in primes, is that there are double primes.

"Algebra can work without geometry". [but] if it could, apples could grow without seeds. It's just nonsense [to say that]. And everything else, in Group Theory, in order to solve it--which I don't know what Group Theory is--you'd need a geometric representation, to get to the abstract answer for other uses.

That's why Riemann's hypothesis is finding a pattern in Primes. Which, if the Zeros were the whole of it, we'd find all the primes. Which we cannot do, so it's quite arbitrary. Whereas, the only pattern we have, that's real, is the twin primes. I'd think anyway... It's just simple to process for me.

Riemann's hypothesis is probably working toward a constant, or equation that can give you a basic geometric design to solve other abstract solutions. Kind of like how quadratic equations get you to a bunch of uses, but ultimately it works on the basis of a square's area.

[So], when you do equations- {} balancing them, you're basically taking two shapes, and then molding them into equal shapes, until you balance the equation. That's the right way to look at it. As, you can relate two shapes together, if they're equal, and come to a true solution. That's just the principle of an equality. Or really, you're just deriving two shapes that are equal to the same number.

[T]he Quadratic Equation, {} is a simple analogy. It's basic stuff, but very complicated in the theory. And people who are solving Riemann's Hypothesis, are trying to find a system of logic, that describes Prime Numbers, that's like a quadratic equation in that it has many uses, and trying to create a shape that describes it. And by having that shape, and that system, you can then reach to higher concepts, that need the logic to be completed. Or like Pi, there's a constant that is defined by a circle's shape, and that's something we measure, and use all the time, to get the correct solution. Because it's the real number that defines a circle.

Wokism and DEI

That’s the driving force of it. That’s why companies like Black Rock are the largest pusher of it, and working it into all the colleges. It just makes a lot of money. It controls people, makes them frustrated, and then polices them through products. It’s the next wave of totalitarianism. Is control through products. It’s how they’re overtaking the legitimate order and law structures. Once they have the monopoly, they’ll have their products be the only ones available on the market, and will control the populations through product availability, and social credit. And why they use Wokism and DEI is that it’s popular, unnatural, and doesn’t do anything but cause waves of disruption and frustration, which is good for generating mass movements. Then they brand the counter movement, too, which stokes the flames even higher.
