The World is in hard labor, and the Word is pregnant.

Every event is the "cause" of the creation. Events that manifest proceed either from the natural causes and effects of the inanimate portions of universe, or from the animate creatures therein..

While all of creation of both types are equally subject to physical laws, and have no ultimate ’choice’ in ultimate outcomes, the animate portions are given means to mitigate the effect of many of the physical laws.
All animals seek shelter from storms, build dens, hide from predators, procure and even store food, procreate etc. Yet, these are traits that are a part of their nature.
Such traits could not possibly have been a product of ’evolution’ , for if it were, the first specimens would not have survived long enough to procreate at all, much less ‘evolve‘.

So, the creation clearly required a ’Creator’ . Not just any arbitrary specialist, but one with intellect that humans cannot possibly fathom. A Creator who designed, calculated and implemented precisely the interaction and effects of all possible outcomes of ’His’ Works throughout all ages.

Humans are given a gift above all the rest of creation, namely to discern the Creators’ love by the mental ability to reason not only about the present, but about both the past and future. It is necessary for one to understand, however, that this ‘gift’ was not without great responsibility.

For with this gift of love also naturally came ego. Pride, if you will. Such leads to judgment, first of other humans, in that one’s intemperate ego naturally strives to be the ’greatest’ among humans, notwithstanding that all know that their flesh life is limited --and by the same creation they cannot alter.

Excessive human pride and human ego has resulted in all evil. The urge to ‘rule’ and control others, and to use others and their possessions for their own flesh gratifications has caused chaos and rebellion throughout all known history.

Many can “see” the obvious end result, and know it is close. Most, however just increase their efforts to enjoy the bounty of self gratifications they enjoy in ruler ship of things and others.

A very few truly understand, however, that positively EVERY event in human history is the SOLE product of one SINGLE human mind. The embryo thus first conceived by one is then accepted and developed by other humans.

The ignorance and folly that the human mind has wrought, via ego and pride, can be overcome and conquered only by love, which the human mind can only experience through the actions of themselves and others.

Most humans feel good ‘inside’ when they perform acts of kindness to others without expectation of return, and particularly when it is done to the most unfortunate, powerless, and weak. It is rare, however, when one’s pride does not relish the attention and approval by other humans. One’s ego and pride is the most difficult obstacle to overcome. Only One has achieved this in the entire creation. The Creator Himself. But, as it is written, He will lead many others to achieve such maturity.

As can be seen, the human mind is a bottomless pit, in the sense of ‘thinking’, which is the sole thing that differentiates humans from the rest of creation.

Rev Chapter Nine:

As is amply demonstrated by all of history, there is no limit to human degeneracy. What has been also demonstrated by the Creator Himself, is that there is equally no limit to love. Love, human ego and pride are obscured by the ‘smoke’ which comes from the bottomless pit. The smoke is an obscuring vapor, requiring one’s mind to judge and choose one‘s individual response. Many defer the ’choice’ to the majority, and elect to just ‘blend in’ neither actively participating nor condemning the ’choice’.

Out of the ‘smoke’ physical actions come, in the form of ‘mental’ devourers, and physical ‘inventions’ by which most are encouraged either to physically act or otherwise approve of the ‘majority‘.

Some who see the obvious abomination of the degeneracy, and remain immune to it‘s destructive power are hidden and protected by the Lord, until their appearance as witnesses in Rev Chapter 11.

In Rev 11:13, at the sounding of the sixth trump, the ‘angels bound in the Euphrates’ are released. For those who wish to understand what these angels are, their works are described in the ‘words of Jeremiah’, (chapter 51) which he had his servant carry to Babylon, read aloud, and then bind with a stone and cast into the Euphrates.
Jer 51:63
63 "Now it shall be, when you have finished reading this scroll, that you shall tie a stone to it and throw it out into the Euphrates.

Now of course, you know by now what the STONE is, don’t you?
If not, see Gen 28:22. Read it for yourself.
