I on the Throne – Where Fear Rules

.

Genesis 3:5  For God does know that in the day you eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and you shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

I sit upon the throne of God.

What is true is what I believe.  What is false is what I do not understand or have not found.  What is right and true is what is on my right hand.  What is wrong is what is on my left.

My judgments are true, and right, and ought to be heeded by all others.  But I cannot help the ignorance/stupidity of others.  If they choose to believe lies, falsehoods and deceit, that is on them.

Yes, I am not perfect (as you know perfection).  There are certainly things I do not understand, or have answers for.  But in order to maintain my godly position on the throne of my life, in those areas of lack I have very cleverly installed fear, and anxiety, and stress, and worry.  Does it not make rather clever sense to fear what I do not know or understand?  Does not my stress more than make up for my inability to control others?  Does not worry help me reign in life?

In order to maintain my godly position on the throne of my life, I have equipped myself with other useful tools, like anger, the ability to argue, frustration, and envy.  Does not my anger and frustration more than make up for any imagined lack in my life?  Does not my ability to argue counteract what might be the truth in what you are telling or showing me?  Does not envy bring anything and everything down to below the level at which I am at, so that no matter the wisdom, the insight, the ability or the truth which is being expressed by others, I continue to reign supreme on the throne in my own being?

In order to maintain my godly position on the throne of my life, I have equipped myself with even more useful tools, like depression, lust, indifference and hate.  Does not depression justify my low self esteem?  Does not lust make my life much more supremely gratifyingly perfect?  Does not indifference and hate cause me to triumph where I am ill-equipped to tackle the challenges of life?

So though I am not perfect according to imperfect you (just another perfect reason to ignore you), I am perfect to unique me.  I am uniquely qualified to ascertain the rightness and wrongness of all of life.  And I have found darkness a perfect environment within which to operate and rule, where I have convinced myself, and am in the process of convincing everyone else, of my vast (but casual) superiority.  If they don’t see or haven’t acknowledged my superiority yet, it is because they haven’t really taken the time to see me ….. (of course I do dwell in darkness, but that’s their problem!)  In that darkness of my unique superiority I have equipped myself with pornography and other sexual perversions, with indignity and haughtiness, with cleverly hateful verbal attacks and bitingly sarcastic remarks.

Now as concerning any other god besides myself, I mentally and verbally assent to him/it/them existing.  But here is the challenge.  How to stay on the throne while having a supposedly superior god.  To accomplish this feat I have instituted religious observance and even a bullheaded dogmatism, where I by my own efforts am still the one who is right, as I have, by my own efforts, achieved the pleasing of this God, even in the sight of all others, and have installed myself as His very important tool in the fight against all injustice, evil, and social wrong.

Besides all these wonderful tools I have equipped myself with and which I practice the use of so that I have become a true victor in and of life, my egotistical pride is what has really made it possible for me to not only ascend to the throne of god, but to remain confidently upon it.  I am on the throne because I must be on the throne of my life, because no one and no thing besides me is as suited or as worthy to be there.   Because all around is death, and if I were to descend off the throne, death is what awaits.  Life only exists on the throne where I dwell, and I am therefore justified in doing, saying, thinking anything to remain firmly upon it.

I have thought it, I have spoken, therefore it is.  What I have not yet learned is not important enough to learn.  There exists no truth outside my understanding, no god apart from the throne upon which I sit.

I have earned the right, by my effort and simply by my existence, to sit upon the throne of God, therefore I do.

Isaiah 14:12- 15  How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning!  How you are cast down to the ground, who did weaken the nations!  For you have said in your heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will sit upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.  Yet you shall be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

Colossians 3:1-8  Since you are then risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sits at the right hand of God.  For you are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.  When Christ, our life, shall appear, then shall you also appear with him in glory.  Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil passionate desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry; For which things’ sake the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience; In the which you also walked for some time when you lived in them.  But now also put off all these; anger, righteous indignation, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.

Philippians 2:9-11  Wherefore God also has highly exalted him, and given him the name which is above every name; That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow; in heaven, and in earth, and under the earth; And every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
