  • Antifragile - Part 1

    Antifragile - Part 1
    2025/10/26
    Humanity has long viewed being resilient (to remain the same through adversity) as the virtue most vital to a person or thing’s success. Serious consideration of the evidence however tells a very different story. Resilience – though effective in the short term, fails in its ability to achieve success over the long haul. This due to the fact that God’s design was never resilience, but antifragility. If we are therefore to be successful in getting to the Reboot, we must become antifragile. Antifragile (def.) = To improve or get stronger through adversity. 1. The human body is a good example of God’s antifragile design.1.1. God did not design our bodies to remain the same through adversity but rather improve and get stronger.1.2. Examples:1.2.1. Weightlifting: the adversity suffered by the muscles through weightlifting causes them to grow and get stronger.1.2.2. Running: the adversity suffered by the cardiovascular system through running causes an improvement to our heart and lung’s ability to pump oxygen through the body.1.2.3. Fasting: the adversity experienced by not eating for long periods of time causes an improvement in cell repair, insulin sensitivity, blood pressure and weight loss. 1.2.4. Adaptive (or Acquired) Immunity: the adversity of sickness causes our immune system to get stronger.1.2.5. Learning: the adversity of study and memorization causes the brain to form new neural pathways and strengthen old ones. 2. Though God has designed our spirits to also become antifragile, it won’t happen without effort from us. 2.1. Unlike our physical bodies, our spirits are not designed to automatically get stronger when subjected to adversity. For that to happen, requires participation or effort from us (1Pe 5:8-10) = Notice our effort is necessary to the adversity we face - resulting in antifragility – or God making our spirits stronger.2.2. That God’s goal/expectation in adversity is to produce antifragility and not simply resilience is confirmed by several texts: 1) (Jam 1:2-4) = Trials (adversity) is meant to make us stronger/better (antifragile).2) (Act 7:22-36) = God subjects Moses to a “Newtonian” form of adversity to make him strong/competent enough to be Israel’s ruler and deliverer. 3) (Rev 2:7, 11, 17, 26, 3:5-6, 12-13, 21-22) “To him who overcomes” = IOW: To him who does what is necessary to become antifragile - i.e., to become stronger through adversity (“overcomes” [Grk., nikao] – same word translated in Rev 6:2 as “conquering and to in order to [kai hina = Denotes purpose/result] conquer” = Becoming stronger through battle/adversity in order to defeat the adversary). 4) (Heb 12:4-14) = The pursuit of holiness (v14 “sanctification” = v10 “holiness”) necessary to getting to heaven (v14 “see[ing] the Lord”) requires shoring up our deficiencies (v4) – which is the purpose of God’s “discipline” (i.e., bringing adversity into our life), so that we can improve/get stronger (become antifragile) – a process which also requires effort and the right attitude from us (vv12-13). 2.3. What about Mat 7:24-28? = The context is J-Day not life’s adversities. 2.4. PNTM: 1) Jesus makes such antifragility (getting stronger through adversity) a condition to getting to heaven (i.e., receiving the various heavenly benefits is only promised to those who “overcome”) – which means resilience alone is not enough! 2) Believing that adversity automatically makes us spiritually stronger (antifragile) is a myth (and a popular one!). Such antifragility only happens when we are practicing God’s prescription (i.e. we do what is necessary to become spiritually antifragile). 3. Practice of the “three divine sisters” is God’s prescription for becoming spiritually antifragile.3.1. (1Co 13:9-13) = The way we become antifragile through the adversity often associated w/our prophetic forecasts[1] – including the uncertainties dictated by its limited abilities (vv9-12) is by practicing God’s threefold formula of (v13) “faith, hope (and) love.” – historically known as the “three divine sisters”[2]3.2. Other texts where we find the three divine sisters: 1) (1Th 5:8) = Notice the context is also overcoming (becoming antifragile in the face of) future adversity – (i.e., the Lord’s return [vv1-7]). 2) (1Ti 1:3-6) = The focus of a person’s ministry (v4 what you “pay attention to”) will determine whether their recipients are growing weaker (vv3-4 w/6) or stronger (antifragile) through the battles of life. The formula for the latter is (v5) “faith”, hope (what Paul means by “a pure heart and a good conscience” [TBD]) and “love.” (hence the reason this is to be our “goal” in ministry [“the administration of God”], vv4-5). That Paul is indeed prescribing these three as the formula for antifragility is confirmed by: 2.1.) his application to Timothy’s ministry (vv18-19 “Fight the good fight”) = Become ...

    (1 Co 13:9-12)FORECAST OF EVENTS THAT COULD TAKE PLACE IN THE NEXT 220-272 WEEKS (probability scale of 1-10)1. (9/10) Christ will return to Jerusalem [Mt. of Olives] from the sky above in apocalyptic fashion on an unknown day and time in 2030 with His angels to gather and glorify all of history’s saints.2. (9/10) Christ’s return will also mean the immediate and fiery destruction of Satan and his global army of God-and-gospel rebels who will make an unsuccessful attempt to exterminate the tiny remnant of Jesus Jews who exist in Jersualem and a small church/churches in the world.3. (9/10) Christ’s return will likewise mean the fiery destruction of this universe, the final judgment of humans and angels, the wicked being eternally resigned to the lake of fire and the righteous receiving eternal life in the new heavens and earth.4. (9/10) Christ’s return and its ensuing cosmic catastrophes will surprise the majority of earth’s inhabitants whose present and future outlook on their wicked way of life will be superlatively positive. 5. (6) Another sign that Jesus’ return is imminent will be the perplexing presence of UFO/UAPs arising from our oceans and the paradigm-shifting propaganda of their alien architects.5.1. perplexing presence of UFOs/UAPs arising from our oceans (Luk 21:25 “signs in the sun, moon and stars”) = The invasion of powerful foreign (or alien) entities (Eze 32:7-12; Isa 13:1 w/9-11 w/17-19). In this case, UFOs/UAPs “roaring” out of our seas w/advanced tech or capabilities that leave us at an intellectual loss/perplexed (“and on the earth dismay among the nations, in perplexity at the roaring of the seas”[1]). In this respect consider also (Eze 1:4-5; Eph 2:2 “prince of the power of the air”[2]).5.2. paradigm-shifting propaganda of their alien architects (that causes men to faint and the heavens to shake – Luk 21:26 w/27) = Satan and his demons (the alien architects of the UFO/UAPs) are the heroes or saviors of humanity (2Co 11:14) - and the family of Yahweh (the Father, Son and Holy Spirit), its true villains:1) The family of Yahweh:1.1.) are oppressive bigots: they created humanity and the angels with free-wills but then prohibit us from using them in the discovery of self-identity, sexual expression and morality, expecting us to instead imitate them and their rigid system of rules and religion under penalty of eternal damnation if we refuse or rebel.1.2.) are racists: they are the creators of diversion tactics – including false religions, false gods, false alien encounters and messages - all meant to ensure that no one other than the Jews succeed in this world.1.3.) are also frauds: they possess no rightful claim to us or the universe since their creative power and ability is not inherent to them – which means they can be beat (e.g., like Thanos, they stole the infinity stones).2) Satan and his demons:2.1.) were exiled from our material realm for attempting to free us from such tyranny though they have continued to fight behind the scenes ever since.2.2.) have been working tirelessly for almost 6k years to counter Yahweh’s agenda and get our thinking and technology to a place where we are ready to rush heaven and win our freedom (e.g., thinking: Avengers versus Thanos; Fantastic Four versus Galactus; tech: the invention of computers, the internet, AGI, electrogravitic/anti-gravity propulsion warships [UFOs] able to transcend dimensional boundaries).2.3.) do not want to enslave but empower us – including provide the healing and resources we need to live happy lives (humanity only does bad things bc God has not provided them w/enough resources).3) Time is the of the essence, the world must immediately unite if they have any chance of winning the fight that will soon be coming to them if they do not first take it to Yahweh (i.e., conquer the third heaven and home of Yahweh before the destruction of this world. Satan is aware of this universe’s 6k yr shelf-life and the return of Christ).Satan’s story-line is simply an inverted version of Babel. Instead of an assassination in heaven, it will be an ambush on earth (Gen 11:1-9 [consider similarities between Babel and Rev 20:8-9 - esp. Gen 10:32/Rev 20:8 “nations” and Gen 11:3/Rev 20:9 “plain”]). 6. (6) = When Satan formed his coup against God, he not only took a third of the heavenly host (angels) but all the advanced military tech that was in their possession at that time (e.g., interdimensional [manned] warships and drones, telepathy, AI, etc.,) and has been making improvements to it ever since (hence the reason for the multiplicity of new and different UFO/UAPs showing up in our skies Rev 12:4; Eze 1:4-5, 15-21). 7. (6) = The reason the UFO/UAPs are coming out of our oceans is because its deepest parts are the location of the abyss –the exilic home, hiding place and primary base of Satan and his demons after their rebellion against Yahweh. This may also be behind the myth of Atlantis: a ...

    (1 Co 13:9-12)(9 w/12) For we know in part and we prophesy in part…for now we see in a mirror dimly” = What God provides to His people with respect to prophecy is not only incomplete (“in part”) but often a poor reflection of its reality making any consistency in accuracy when forecasting the future almost impossible (e.g., Act 21:11 w/31-33). As a result, the church functions like capricious children (v11) in her efforts to discern coming events. She is nonetheless tasked with this mission – errors and edits included, as God’s prescribed method for planning and preparation (hence 1Th 2:13-14 w/3:1-4 w/5:19-21; e.g., accuracy of weather forecasting for navy fleets on long deployment: > 14 days [<50%], 2-4 days [>90%] “The future of conflict will belong to those who can anticipate the storm and utilize it to their advantage.” - JR Cottingham, National Defense Magazine).[1]PNTM: Our ability to plan and prepare for the coming storm surrounding Jesus’ possible return in 2030 requires we not only remind ourselves of Scripture’s prophetic forecast regarding these things but also make updates or changes as we get closer and clearer. FORECAST OF EVENTS THAT COULD TAKE PLACE IN THE NEXT 220-272 WEEKS (on a probability scale of 1-10)1. (9/10) Christ will return to Jerusalem [Mt. of Olives] from the sky above in apocalyptic fashion on an unknown day and time in 2030 with His angels to gather and glorify all of history’s saints (Mat 24:25-36 [Act 1:11]; Luk 21:25-32; Zec 14:4-9; 1Th 4:13-18; 2Pe 3:8 [Isa 46:10];[2] Act 2:17 w/Gal 4:4-6 “fullness of time” = consummation of the [prior] ages [epochs] w/Heb 9:26 “consummation of the ages” [which began at Christ’s death in 30 AD]). 2. (9/10) Christ’s return will also mean the immediate and fiery destruction of Satan and his global army of God-and-gospel rebels who will make an unsuccessful attempt to exterminate the tiny remnant of Jesus Jews who exist in Jersualem and a small church/churches in the world (Zec 14:1-3 and Rev 20:7-10 [9 “camp of the saints” = Gentile Jesus Jews in a small church/churches in the world; “beloved city” = Hebrew Jesus Jews in Jerusalem] and 2Th 2:7-10 w/Mat 16:18 w/2Pe 3:9 w/Rom 11:25 [no more Gentiles are turning to Christ and becoming Jesus Jews] w/26-28 [Luk 13:35, 15:11-32 = Some Hebrews in Jerusalem turn to Christ and become Jesus Jews at/close to His return] w/1Ki 19:14 w/18:4, 13 [also 19:18]; Consider also: 1) Jesus seems to hint at the idea of only a few/tiny remnant of saved in the end by His question in (Luk 18:8). 2) Jesus and Peter both connect His return to the Flood – an event which saved only eight people (Mat 24:37; 1Pe 3:20 w/2Pe 3:3-9 [mention of God’s patience in both seems to suggest we also view the small number of those delivered from His first extinction event as representative of those delivered in His second]).3) God’s deliverance of only a tiny remnant is a predominant theme across redemptive history (Gen 6-9 [Noah and his family in re: to the Flood]; Gen 45:7 [Joseph and his bros/Israel in re: to the global famine]; 2Ki 19:30-31 [Judah in re: to the Assyrian invasion]; Isa 10:20-22 [Israel in re: to the Assyrian invasion]; Ezr 9:8-15 [Judah/Israel in re: to the Babylonian invasion]; Jer 23:1-6 [Jesus Jews in re: to Israel’s apostasy]). 3. (9/10) Christ’s return will likewise mean the fiery destruction of this universe, the final judgment of humans and angels, the wicked being eternally resigned to the lake of fire and the righteous receiving eternal life in the new heavens and earth (2Pe 3:1-13; Rev 20:11-22:16; 1Co 6:3; 2Co 5:9-10). 4. (9/10) Christ’s return and its ensuing cosmic catastrophes will surprise the majority of earth’s inhabitants whose present and future outlook on their wicked way of life will be superlatively positive (Luk 17:26-30; 1Th 5:1-5 “darkness” = Wickedness as the way of life will be popular and prospering causing the majority to miss the bad omens in their midst). The bad omens signaling the soon return of Christ (missed by the majority of the world) will include:1) great apostasy among true churches and the prevalence of false gospels, teachers and churches (Mat 24:10-13; e.g., Christianity and her teachers, the FAG).2) there is only a small number of Jesus Jews left on planet earth and conversion efforts among Gentles in the world have stalled (again 2Pe 3:9; Rom 11:25; Luk 18:8). 3) the (possible) conversion of Hebrews in Jersualem to Jesus Jews before His return (again Rom 11:26-27). 4) global agreement to persecute and kill Jesus Jews – including betrayal by biological family members (Mat 24:9; Luk 21:16-17; Rev 20:9). 5) the biblical gospel (MCG) of the Jesus Jews will be recovered and proclaimed as a testimony to the whole world/all the nations against their false gospels (e.g., FAG) (Mat 24:14 “testimony” = Witness to the truth/true gospel in the face of opposition – most specifically, religious/gospel ...
