Here Is Your Reformation
Dear Pastor:
I leave the new communications technology to another post. I think it is like unto the printing press that was used so mightily after 1517.
The key reformation, if Creveld is right http://mises.org/daily/527 is the decline of the state. You would maintain, as I do, that any Christian state has been perverted into secularism.
What will replace the state? Creveld says that there will be many organizations similar to it, corporation-like. ( He sees the state as an impersonal organization).
How will these new impersonal corporation-like institutions be formed?
Here’s where you come in. You can help them be formed covenantally.
Consider the comparison between the Mayflower Compact and the incorporation papers for Wal-Mart, or Ford.
Were you to make a model covenant for institution formation, it might be used by the next big institution.
Do it in a way like the first part of the Decalogue.
And since states, universities, and other institutions have not honored the past (father and mother, GodTrinity), and have consequently lost the future, an emphasis on the 5th Word would help.
Gary North has written, somewhere, on how to leave a legacy, without it being used by those who come later in ways AGAINST what the one who left the money meant. Examples are Foundations: Carnegie, Ford…
There you are, in conclusion. New institutions will arise to carry history forward, and old one dishonoring GodTrinity will not carry history forward. Your knowledge of covenants can enable you to help these new institutions be formed covenantally.
Love in King Jesus,
Chuck

Reformation happening Before Your Eyes
Reformation happening Before Your Eyes
It's happening before your eyes. One example: http://mises.org/daily/527
Another: http://www.bullartistry.com.au/wp/2010/07/26/evangelical-defeatism-is-unbiblical/
What evidence will you accept, then? On what basis do you judge? The nation-state as we know it is VERY recent. The university too. Various denominations, even the claims of the Popes. Commas came in @ 900, verses only in the 16th century. Widespread cheap Bibles have only been available for a few hundred years. the 'modern' world-wide missions movement as we think of it is very young.
Is it possible that we have gone temporally and spatio-culturally native, thinking that 'the West' is the end of all things, rather than something to be discipled?
In something such as Ussher's chronology, it took half the time from Creation to the Cross to get to Abraham, and we're only another 2000 yers from the Cross.
If you go with the 16 billion year chronology, the recent times of articulated social order, say 10,000 years, are a very small percentage of the total.
The mass of men have lived lives of a very few decades, dying very early, soon after becoming grandfathers, if at all.
Electric lights are only a hundred or so years old, the automobile about the same, fossil fuels too.
In America, the Baptists walked, the Methodists rode horses, the Presbyterians took the stage, and the Anglicans waited until there was regularly scheduled train service. The Romans did exploring, but did not arrive in big numbers until....
There was a big movement of forming cities by covenant in the 12th century.
It's early days, and yet there is an acceleration of good stuff, that we don't appreciate, and yet when we look at the Core History (Creation to Cross) God has graciously shown us that we should appreciate what he has done, but we blind ourselves, for some reason to His Providential care, and say, 'Woe is me!'
How long have we had the piano, and polyphony? Double -entry bookkeeping and perspective in art (first art work with perspective was of a baptistry!) and counterpoint in music cam about at around the same time.
And you imply that The One True God Trinity (when was that articulated?) God is not moving us, that he is destroying us. But surely, 'the just shall live by faith,' that is, even though God is sending people and things against us to destroy His temporary manifestations and downstreamings of the eternal covenant, He will raise from that death even greater things, as He has promised.
Do you think that an America and a West that kills millions of babies in the womb can escape God's gracious justice? Yet were such a society not destroyed, and another take he place, what of the promised of God?
Do you dare say that Luther and Calvin are the end of all theology and application of it? And their best insights have borne bad fruit, surely, among many, but that is the way God works. Eli's sons destroyed the tabernacle, but then came the Temple and Psalms. The Temple was dismantled, and it and the people went in waves into exile, but Daniel and Ezekiel, and synagogues all over the Mediterranean resulted. 'America' will die, but what she articulated that is true to the Word will arise more gloriously
The child will die at 100 (Isaiah 65:20). The Bride will be Adorned.
And so on.
The key is remembering strongly, so as to act on it maturely, Providential history.
We are not to blind ourselves.
Love in King Jesus,
Chuck
PS: Calvin had the police escort the people of Geneva in groups to swear to the covenant and the Decalogue, I have read. Can any society that does not do that survive--and can any that does do it immaturely? Can any that says 'Woe is me! in the face of God's blessings? Should it?
Thanks the Lord and sing His praise, tell everyone what He has done. Let all who seek the Lord rejoice and gladly bear His name. He recalls His promises and sends His people forth in joy with shouts of thanksgiving, alleluia, alleluia.
PPS: China is a great capitalist power, compared to a half-century ago? How was Deng Xiaoping ‘converted’? http://snipurl.com/dengcapitalist The Cold War with missiles about to fly…where has it gone, since the 1990s?

The Rise and Decline of the State--Creveld
http://mises.org/daily/527
Why arise? Out of civil war, an abstract corporation entity, not personal as Emperors.
Why decline? Nuclear weapons???!!!
What will take its place? Other corporations, for-profit, and not.
And much,much more.
Chuck
CH: Corporations that 'do' the Fifth Word, small and large. The father and mother is also the whole past, the land is also the whole future.

Name days aright and move out of the asylum.
Does it seem as if you are living in a lunatic asylum, as one has posted?
Consider.
It's all Providential, though. You may be in a period after Israel has forgotten God and been put under the Philistines, and before they once again were moved by this to call upon God for a messiah. The questions is, what time is it? You can continue to worship Wotan by having his name on your day, Wednesday, or you could proletically live in the new social firmament, re-retuned and named for Pergamos, the wilderness period, as PergamoxBmoY (the Day comes from the future).
Eat up! PergsYumm! is here!

Core History of Humanity's Childhood Week 27 (and 23)
Ain't it great? Core History of Humanity's Childhood Week 27 (and 23)
Check out the Core History of Humanity's Childhood.
In my pictures. Seems simple.
Take Ussher's @ 400 years. Divide by 49 (49-book Bible, when Hebrew Scriptures are seen as 22).
'Write' this onto a year (extra weeks are Holiday Weeks).
Then go backward and forward through one period of @ 81 years per week, and look up in Ussher (free online at PreteristArchive --I'm not a full preterist) and what do you have, starting the year at Resurrection?
This week we have, going Creation to A. D. 70, between Abraham and Moses. 81 x 27 = 2187 AM through 2267. And backward, we're headed from Abraham to the Flood.
Lectionary Historical, I call it.
As Adults now, in Christ (we were children until Him) we are to respond to this as psalmodic response, as we see in Psalm 1:1. Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly. And then God gives us a new situation (after A. D. 70, analogously) with sinners--what do we not do? walk in the way. OK, scornful, what do we not do? sitteth in the seats.Etc.

Join in my '1000 year' projects?
Think I'll just write up my stuff on Facebook, I have a dozen or so 1000-year projects, as mentioned in Berman's 'Law and Revolution,' on pages 5 and 6. Cathedrals in the Middle Ages had budgets for 1000 years, they knew the future generations would take up the task, modifiying, surely. And so on page 6, he talks of the development of Law and of Music in the same way. Any musician used to know the history of music, from monophony on up, and so should and lawyer. In the introduction, that North says is the best scholarship he has ever read.
More later.

Cure Team
Cure Team. Thinking of adding another category: Cure Team. They'd be around were one to be 'placed' in a nursing home to remind that one wanted to be cured, not just custody-ized, and would also 'cure' some people of being in the wrong profession, people who should not be caring for the enfeebled and/or befuddled and/or vulnerable. The Cure Team would find them other work

'...beyond the nation-state...'
'...beyond the nation-state...'
How would they be similar to the Knights Hospitaller, and how not? Superclass. “Superclass is a timely and detailed analysis of the disproportionate power and hence responsibility of an incredibly small group of individuals: the global power elites whose strongest allegiances are not with their countries but with each other. Understanding the implications of this shift beyond the nation-state is of great importance and Rothkopf has made a significant first step.” —Bob Wright, Vice Chairman, General Electric, and former President and CEO, NBC Universal

Flag of new social order: Social firmament 'stars'?
Major idea of yesterday: What words or symbols would best represent the social firmament on the flag of the new era's social firmament?
I'm thinking of ox, lion, eagle, man and .... ?
Maybe the 7 eras of Core History, morphed/glorified into the 7 churches, yea 8, and then retuned (?!), and .... ?
'Psalmodic Response' along the bottom?
You 'see,' we are stars/lights, we are seated in the heavenlies (Eph. 2:6), we have come to the heavenly assembly .... .
Love in King Jesus,
Chuck
