Clarity, isn't it so nice to be just clear? Must be a gift from Heaven.

The kingdom is a disruptive element, in a world of conflict, this is demonstrated through metaphors like a stone that shatters a statue of nations to pieces and then fills the whole earth, and the separation of waters, they're the same yet they're divided ... why? It violates some sense of equality or whatever ... but that question gives view into a thought process of God that is not common from a human perspective.
.
If things are really messy .. like they were on the first day, God disrupts the order of it one way or the other to create something that is good and well ordered .. according to God, not you .
.
So if the church is a mess, and it drives away the people God builds up to "change" it, there will be disruption. This concept of dividing the waters on the second day always used to make me wonder, but now I am more interested in the firmament, the atmosphere. . . Every day a new painting that changes interactively like it is alive in this sky. So thinking like a child (as old as I am) I'd imagine if I was asked ... why did I move this mess and that mess aside? I would answer ... because I want to Paint! yeah, that sounds about right, making room so He can create something new, that sounds like the creator to me, just like with Adam, He formed him, and then placed him in the place that He created in advance for him. So it is with the paintings in the sky, God placed them there for you, you know .. remember to look up to the sky every so often, what's up there is a gift for you.
