The choice
It is literally written: you are sad as well now; but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice and nobody would be able to take your joy away from you. That day you will not ask me anything anymore. Now, the sadness’ time Jesus is talking about is not for sure referred to the days between His death and His resurrection. Jesus is obviously talking about a wider span of time, a time when He, after his ascension into heaven, will not be available anymore for His peoples, He will not be physically seen or tangibly touched anymore. The Lord’s non tangible and non visible presence will be hard and cause sadness to the ones who love and follow Him, mostly in those moments when, because of the Gospel, they will be persecuted, slandered, condemned, killed, and it will be reason of enjoyment and satisfaction for all the ones who see Jesus as the enemy of their interests and dominion plans. This is the time of the Lord’s non visible and non tangible presence, the time of passage, of the ultimate choice, before the evolutionary jump God has in His heart for His children. This is the time of passage, this is the true pèsach, the true Easter Jesus had in His heart for us. This time of passage and hard choice will last exactly from the day Jesus ascended into heaven to the day of His return, the day of His intermediate coming. Before that day the Lord has to absolutely know whom he will be able to count on for the new evolution. Before that day, the day of His intermediate coming, it is indispensable that the Lord’s disciples and all the peoples on earth know on whom they can count on. This is the time to decide and choose which side to take, man’s, and therefore God’s side, or the powerful’s, the dominion’s system side, the advantages’ group side. This is a time when the events that happen become, on one hand, a chance to spiritually and intellectually choose which side to take, and on the other hand, the chance to make everyone’s choice evident. This is a time when the power’s choices are determined by peoples’ utter prostration, as never happened before on history: this will cause great sufferance, death and fear in the subdued peoples, but will also make clear and evident to all, as never happened before, that the strong powers are absolutely in the hand of Satan and are serving him with the aim to enslave humanity. This is a time when every man has to decide if he wants to serve the power system or man’s dignity and freedom. This is a time when we have to choose if we want to serve man’s dignity and freedom, knowing that it could cost us dearly, very dearly, because the system’s power will consider God’s and man’s servants as sworn enemies, archenemies. This is a time when everybody, everyone, one way or another will have to either serve God, and be protected by Him, or serve the human power system, being protected by the established power. Human power will use His laws, that up to now it has pretended to use for the good and wellbeing of people, to generate every kind of injustice, abuse, oppression, vexation, violence against God’s people. This is the time when all the economical power and the National sovereignties will fall, because this is the system’s project to prostrate people into poverty, taking away from them any ambition of revenge and making them fight each other. But it will be in this very sufferance and merciless abuse that it will become evident, clear to all the peoples which kind of vipers and ravenous wolves they have been dealing with so far, in case they have not realized yet. This is the time when the power’s system will use law’s establishment and power, hidden behind tribunals, prisons, armies; law’s establishment and power - which substituted God in this generation – will make any injustice possible. The possibility to generate every kind of injustice to subdue people, using law’s coverage and endorsement, is one of Satan’s most subtle satisfactions. This is a time when everybody, even the priests of the temple, has to make a choice. Everyone has to choose to either serve God, protecting man’s dignity and freedom, or to serve Satan’s Kingdom, protecting the unfair laws and the power system that is crashing people, leading them to starvation. This is a time of passage, preparation, of the definitive choice about which god we want to serve, the true God of love and freedom, or the false and overpowering god of the power system. Each one of the men and women on earth has to choose now, before He will open the heaven and come down for His glorious intermediate coming.
