The Fury of God and What does it Really Mean?

Some Love Words to my Lord, My Ishi, Jesus today...Notes from the Wilderness "And it shall be at that day, saith the LORD, that thou shalt call me Ishi; and shalt call me no more Baali." Hosea 2:6, KJV

I thought about posting this yesterday and today it seemed right.  In God's Word, it often says that God is a Consuming Fire.  What does that mean exactly?  Well, I believe it can mean several things, from His wrath towards cruelty and injustice and oppression to His passion about love and His people to His life power and His creative rebirth abilities.  But when I first saw this photo, I saw a whole other side to God, that I'd like to share today...

the sunset, in this photo does look like a sky of fire.  The black birds [or the birds that appear to be black] represents to me numerous scriptures about God's wrath--about how one day, He said, the birds will feast on flesh.  What that means is, is that all the raping and environmental damage, such as, the destruction of forests, the Bird's Homes, will be Avenged one day.  That is in Revelations.  You see God takes HIS creation Seriously, the CARE of, His creation Seriously...He is NOT a NEGLECTFUL, ABUSIVE PARENT, father nor mother, nor is He a NEGLECTFUL ABUSIVE HUSBAND, Israel I will betroth you to myself He says...the bride, in Revelations.

 You see God has put in His Word so many revelations about who He really is, about What He cares so passionately about, and His creation, He loves, like a mother loves her young, and He is just as protective and watchful...the Thing that people miss however, is that WE, people, are His creation too so He is longsuffering, that WE may repent--and come to Him, and CHANGE, not become Religious, but learn to Love, to Take care of Mother Earth and the Animals, what WE were commanded to do, in the Garden of Eden.  We were NOT commanded to take 'dominion' and rape, pillage, kill...that was NOT what we were commanded to do OR to set up Pyramid 'god' hierarchies and patriarchies.  

God's nature is all over Nature, Mother Earth, His Female Side, oh yes, I truly am convinced that God is both male-female, in Spirit, and in Personality, that both are strong but have differences, that together BALANCE--like Ying and Yang, complimentary yes, WITHOUT THE WHOLE MALE DOMINANCE-SUPREMACY LIE that is taught in so many 'male teachings' that have Corrupted the image of God into Corruptible Man [Romans], but also yes, egalitarian--but that can also, Change--with Phases, seasons, meaning, that male and female gender traits are Fluid, they are not always in this constant state and in a Box.  That is 'man's' doing--not God's.  Nature simply does not work like this, it never has, there is a fluidity about nature, though the order, yes remains.  Like, how music works...you can have jazz, that is like a chaotic but still remain within a mathematical order--why to me, both Quantum Physics and the Theory of Relativity both are true--maybe they merge, though I'm not a physics major--
so I'm looking at this photo, and I think, gee that's odd, how the sky, before Darkness, looks like fire and I get this thought--I wonder, if this is how God truly feels, at the End of the Day, after seeing All the cruelty, hate, rape, killing, lying, stealing, child abuse, misogyny, misandry, greed, etc., and there are just those days that His anger is just about boiling, the Fire is in the sky--right before Darkness falls and the vampires/spirits [demons] come out, those night spirits to work their misery through those who are taken captive by ignorance or by free will, that Darkness that also has two faces, one where darkness if felt--sin, God's removal of Himself, that Separation OR that Darkness, that God ONLY can penetrate and where, growth continues, in those gardens, the Night Jasmine..and the insects who do their Purification clean up...LOL, oh yea, God works in mysterious ways...depending on what His will is,



but I had to wonder--if those days, He just says, OK, I've had enough, I've had enough and I'm about to blow so I'll give you a Sign--to see, maybe you'll see, that I'm not that pleased with you, Please, consider, before Darkness falls, all around you, maybe Darkness so thick it can be felt, and Repent [do not let the sun go down on your wrath the Bible says] and by morning, Lord Willing, I'll give you a New Day, to try again...

and the Fire, God's consuming Fire sets on the earth while the birds come out to feast and the darkness and the creatures of the night begin their journey of decay or purification or punishment, like the Furies...

oh yes, the Furies...God has His 'creatures of furies', kid yourself not, they do His work of Balancing the scales and Justice.

Oh yes, the Mother and Father in God--do we dare to provoke Him/Her with our stubborn refusal to stop our sinful ways and not Fear Him/Her?  I believe, we should take Heed to those Skies, they are Messages to Us, to NOT take His/Her Mercy for Granted...because while He/She is yes, Merciful and Long Suffering,

He/She is also, a God of Holiness and Justice, who Yes, becomes FURIOUS with human kind's cruelty, selfishness, consumption of Mother Earth with no thought, no love, no care..for Him, for Our Neighbor, for Ourselves [Bible says abusing ourselves With mankind God hates just as much, it is sin, GOD IS LOVE, WE, HIS CHILDREN, ARE TO BE 'LIKE' LOVE, LIKE HIM.

Mighty Men & Women beware, God can overthrow the Kings and Lords with a 'swish' of His  hand, He is NOT a Weak God...Nor a God, who is Indifferent or who Does not See.

Another beautiful character about God's fire too is that while this sky, to me represents that one side of Himself, of His passionate fury, not because He is some crazed Despot, no, but because His LOVE is So passionate and intimate for Us, for all His creatures and for Mother Earth...for Life,

and that the Other side of this Fire, is God's romantic passion--calling us, to join with Him in His/Her presence in prayer, in worship, in love and song...Passion, that's right, Passion, HE did create Passion after all, that
Fire that burns...

little man created Nothing--they just Think they did, it is GOD WHO OPENS THE WOMB....

lest we forget.

Oh, to Know Him, is to Love Him, to Love Him, is to yes, Know His fire, His passion, His love...

it's His Love that Purifies...

our hearts, our lives, our souls.

To Know Him, is to Walk with Him, in the Garden, both at Day, and at Night, the fellowship of His sufferings...His sufferings, is His Heartbreak--at seeing His creation,


destroying and being destroyed.


And it's not surprising then, that Yes, there are those nights, when God says, I've had enough...let the Darkness fall, and the Birds Feast.  May we truly repent and receive Him and Him be OUR LORD, our Kind Lord, Creator, Mother and Father, we being His Beloved, His Betrothed [Isaiah] because there Is coming, a time, when His wrath, Will come down, and that will be the closing...the Fire of Avenging, will fall, and the Darkness, that can be felt, will fall as well, and the birds, will feast on the flesh of those men who Refused, to Receive God's Grace, Kindness, Mercy, and Love, men and women, who Refused, to Know LOVE, who chose Hate, Greed, and Malice and Power...


For those, who will receive, the darkness does come--but He, tenderly watches over us, He monitors our purification, while He covers us, with the Night Jasmine...Intimately Loving us...and Us, Loving Him.


To Know Him, is to really know what Being LOVED is.  I can't believe, I wasted So many years, but I am glad...that those years were NOT good ones, because they while dark, were the garden path, that lead me to Him, and to bath in His fire...Is yes,

Sweet. 


Love,


Jane
