When Will The Masses Finally AWAKEN?
Uncovering the Fourth Turning.
"It raised the obvious question: Why, if all that were so — if the enterprise were to be a failure from the start — was there any sense in starting it? "Ah," the Lord said, "you do not get the point. There is a Remnant there that you know nothing about. They are obscure, unorganized, inarticulate, each one rubbing along as best he can. They need to be encouraged and braced up because when everything has gone completely to the dogs, they are the ones who will come back and build up a new society; and meanwhile, your preaching will reassure them and keep them hanging on. Your job is to take care of the Remnant, so be off now and set about it." - Isaiah’s Job
Thanks for that Kate, I am not overly religious but I have found a lot of wisdom in the bible the last few years. Your video also brought to mind the story of Daniel I came across recently,
Then Nebuchadnezzar in a fit of rage demanded that they bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego before him. So they brought them before the king. Nebuchadnezzar said to them, “Is it true, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, that you don’t serve my gods and that you don’t pay homage to the golden statue that I erected? Now if you are ready, when you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, trigon, harp, pipes, and all kinds of music, you must bow down and pay homage to the statue that I had made. If you don’t pay homage to it, you will immediately be thrown into the midst of the furnace of blazing fire. Now, who is that god who can rescue you from my power?” Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego replied to King Nebuchadnezzar, “We do not need to give you a reply concerning this. If our God whom we are serving exists, he is able to rescue us from the furnace of blazing fire, and he will rescue us, O king, from your power as well. But if he does not, let it be known to you, O king, that we don’t serve your gods, and we will not pay homage to the golden statue that you have erected.”
The whole story of Daniel seems to contain a Remnant mindset.
I read your piece/video as well as the whole Isaiah’s Job article and have been thinking about it ever since. It helps me at a practical level--maybe like your friends, I feel tight, frustrated towards those in my sphere who have no awareness of what has happened and is happening. I imagine starting a substack to persuade them, finally, at last. And, I know that’s futile wasted energy. The idea of the Remnant is inspiring, gives me a sense of “right audience”, and is frankly, a spiritual and existential relief--much less pressure. Thank you so much for putting this out there.
