Warning: Shell Shock doesn't "go away" after many generations.....

Humans have done damaging things to each other for many generations.

Issues could range from anything like race, religious conditions (bible believers burned by the "church" even eliminated by their own family), greedy money issues, lack of empathy and anything all the way back to 70 A.D. when Israel was taken by the Romans.  JESUS himself WARNED of this "shell shock" that was going to happen to innocent civilians.

When the Jews were scattered into many different nations, they were also scattered into many different families.

Does this mean that no one else in the family feels the after shock of these things?

No.  "shell shock" is the result it even comes into the heart of the family......like the extended family.  Cousins, aunts, uncles and things of that sort.

Family has its various "look alikes."  War-Veterans come back with "shell shock" if they are exposed to people who appear "middle eastern" but don't know the difference from a good-man or a bad-man.

For obvious reasons, Jesus lived among the Jewish people in the middle east and not in any other location on planet earth.

Hence, if a family member has a look alike, they could become a "victim" of another man's lack of proper judgment.

Many times "syrians" can look like other people that look like......your family members.....mine??  Well if a person knows they have a family member with Jewish Heritage (Abraham was a Syrian by the way).

Anyhow.....

the implications are real.

Children are real.  Become "child like" and consider that we have an ENEMY and it is the "god of this world"

It is NOT the condition of being a "man" (anti-patriarchy claims) or a "woman" (misogyny) or the conditions of one's own heritage.

The evil is found in the HEART.......that does not KNOW the redemption.

They don't know his power.

They don't understand his desire to see wisdom, goodness, kindness and so forth.

So tell them of his glory and his ability to REDEEM US from these conditions......we face......in this world.

Women in 70 AD. were "homemakers".....but that didn't prevent the evils that were brewing in surrounding Roman Territory.....think about that for a second or two.....so the conditions of bringing -GOOD- to this world requires ACTUAL redemption, not just a physical work at the hands of men and women.

So what is the "safety" for a person's soul.....

Perhaps just think about "God's word".......keep "the law" in mind.....because his laws apply to you, to me......to people you can't even SEE....Reach for the SKY (look up at the heavens......the creator created the heavens).....

Just to "numb" the pain of "hate" that brews (from law-less humanity).....songs have a tendency to fix some of the issues....but the reality is that things still stay "the same" as history doesn't disappear....

there is also a way to SING praise despite these issues...
