The Inevitable Victory

-


"But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day"


2nd Peter 3:8


History has shown that the side of a war better at waging the long game is often more likely to win the war. A war of attrition is something most countries would like to avoid. When it comes to the big picture war, the divine war, the one that has been raging since the beginning, the long game is just part of the package. Looking at the big picture though, victory is inevitable for the good and true. 


You cannot lose a war against darkness if you are born of light. Light conquers darkness because darkness doesn't exist. It's a void. Good always prevails. It's inevitable when these conflicts occur.  As for me and my struggles. I will win. No matter what happens, I will have victory over my sin, my fear, and my struggles. I will win, because I am a child of an infinite God.


   A God who loves me like a son, and He will guide me through this life and the darkness here, and He will shield me from the wickedness. This infinite God will give me victory not just in this life, but in eternity. No matter what happens, what mistakes I make, what wrongs may strike me, when I die, I enter into the presence of the infinite Creator. 


I believe this. I also have played enough games, watched enough movies, and read enough books to know that the maximum glory you can get in a war or game is snatching victory from the jaws of defeat, or when all hope seems lost you make a glorious move that surprises your opponent before vanquishing them.


This glorious, flawless vanquishing of evil will come, but I'm in for the long game. I can wait as long as I have to wait. A thousand years is like a day to God. Hell, a trillion years is like a moment and a moment like a trillion years to a God of true infinity and true eternity.

No One is a Lost Cause

     There is not a single human being on the planet who is a lost cause. There is hope for anyone and everyone who still draws breath in this world. Even into eternity and the realm of God there is always hope and mercy to be found for those who lost so much and had such misfortune or detriment fall upon them in life. Jesus is the great rescuer of the lost. The great savior of sinners and broken people. The great returner of broken dreams.       To Jesus, there is no such thing as a lost cause, a hopeless case, or an impossible situation.  Even though people lose hope sometimes and sink into despair, eternity and the Kingdom of God is a place where hope never dies and the lost are found eternally, never to be lost again.  With God, all things are possible, and all those lost are findable.       Jesus specializes in the mending broken hearts and broken dreams, and eternity is a long time to have dreams fulfilled and rest i...

The Fortress of Neptune

Some people strive to turn their mind into a fortress—a Stoic "inner citadel," an impenetrable bastion of psychological and spiritual security that no danger or enemy can conquer or destroy. It’s a noble and intriguing endeavor, turning your mind into a fortress. But for myself? I would forgo the citadel and instead transform my mind into a bottomless ocean. An unfathomably deep ocean that I can retreat into, like a submarine capable of withstanding the abyssal depths. The further down you descend into this ocean, the more untouchable and unreachable you become to your enemies. It is the mental "Fortress of Neptune." Where a bottomless ocean of living water and living thoughts serves to be my impenetrable Fortress and infinite Bastion. If a bottomless ocean is my Fortress, what could destroy me? A bottomless ocean of thought and ideas. A bottomless ocean of psychological and spiritual security—indestructible and unconquerable. It’s hard to conquer an ocean and impos...

Infinitization

The Infinitization Process: A Comprehensive Exploration Introduction Infinitization refers to the process of taking a concept, thing, or system—typically understood as having limitations or boundaries—and expanding it to possess infinite depth, infinite complexity, infinite diversity, infinite nuance, and infinite dynamics. This idea transcends traditional philosophical and metaphysical approaches to existence by positioning the infinite as not merely a characteristic of God, the cosmos, or abstract mathematics but as a quality that can be applied to concepts, systems, and relationships. This process connects deeply to your previous theories on Logos, words-as-sets, words-as-fields, and the nature of infinite existence. Through this framework, the infinitization of concepts can be seen as the ultimate act of creation, transformation, and expansion.
