A Homeless Toy

I’m officially homeless since September 17th, 2023.

Having advantages though. Firstly, I can experiment with my food intake.

No flour, no sugar, no margarine nor mayonnaise, neither dairy products.

If you reduce it from specifics you can get a good generality, the course of the Icelandic low is from Newfoundland to Europe. It never goes to Greenland. The storms hit land and fade producing earthquakes elsewhere and a few days later volcanic eruptions. On Greenland they become anticyclonic as the dead is buried, and the anticyclone is returned to be imbibed by the Lows when their densities match (again.)

Low-pressure area – Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-pressure_area
A low-pressure area, low area or low is a region where the air pressure is lower than that of surrounding locations. Low-pressure systems form under areas of wind divergence that occur in the upper levels of the atmosphere.The formation process of a low-pressurearea is known as cyclogenesis.Within the field of meteorology, atmospheric divergence aloft occurs in two areas.

I have slowed it down to minimums speed:

1  A revelation* by Jesus Christ, which God gave him,a to show his slavesb the things that must shortly take place. And he sent his angel and presented it in signs through him to his slave John,c ²  who bore witness to the word God gave and to the witness Jesus Christ gave, yes, to all the things he saw. ³  Happy is the one who reads aloud and those who hear the words of this prophecy and who observe the things written in it,d for the appointed time is near.⁴  

Get ready, the book of books is about to start

John to the seven congregationse that are in the province of Asia:

Where? what? ehh…?

The hell ya going there for?

May you have undeserved kindness and peace from “the One who is and who was and who is coming,”f and from the seven spiritsg that are before his throne, ⁵  and from Jesus Christ, “the Faithful Witness,”h “the firstborn from the dead,”i and “the Ruler of the kings of the earth.”jTo him who loves usk and who set us free from our sins by means of his own bloodl— ⁶  and he made us to be a kingdom,m priestsn to his God and Father—yes, to him be the glory and the might forever. Amen.⁷  

So it is going to start now?

Look! He is coming with the clouds,o and every eye will see him, and those who pierced him; and all the tribes of the earth will beat themselves in grief because of him.p Yes, Amen.⁸  “I am the Alʹpha and the O·meʹga,”*q says Jehovah* God, “the One who is and who was and who is coming, the Almighty.”r⁹  I John, your brother and a sharer with you in the tribulations and kingdomt and enduranceu in association with Jesus,v was on the island called Patʹmos for speaking about God and bearing witness concerning Jesus. ¹⁰  

Yes, nearly.

By inspiration I came to be in the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a strong voice like that of a trumpet, ¹¹  saying: “What you see, write in a scroll and send it to the seven congregations: in Ephʹe·sus,w in Smyrʹna,x in Perʹga·mum,y in Thy·a·tiʹra,z in Sarʹdis,a in Philadelphia,b and in La·o·di·ceʹa.”c¹²  

After we have been around the block.

I turned to see who was speaking with me, and when I turned, I saw seven golden lampstands,d ¹³  and in the midst of the lampstands someone like a son of man,e clothed in a garment that reached down to the feet and wearing a golden sash around his chest. ¹⁴  Moreover, his head and his hair were white as white wool, as snow, and his eyes were like a fiery flame,f ¹⁵  and his feet were like fine copperg when glowing in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of many waters. ¹⁶  

Does any of this make sense?

And he had in his right hand seven stars,h and out of his mouth a sharp, long, two-edged swordi was protruding, and his countenance* was like the sun when it shines at its brightest.j ¹⁷  When I saw him, I fell as dead at his feet.And he laid his right hand on me and said: “Do not be afraid. I am the Firstk and the Last,l ¹⁸  and the living one,m and I became dead,n but look! I am living forever and ever,o and I have the keys of death and of the Grave.*p ¹⁹  

I think I am getting a glimmer

So write down the things you saw, and the things that are, and the things that will take place after these. ²⁰  As for the sacred secret of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand and of the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars mean the angels of the seven congregations, and the seven lampstands mean the seven congregations.q

“To the angela of the congregation in Ephʹe·susb write: These are the things that he says who holds the seven stars in his right hand and walks among the seven golden lampstands:c ²  ‘I know your deeds, and your labor and endurance, and that you cannot tolerate bad men, and that you put to the test those who say they are apostles,d but they are not, and you found them to be liars. ³  You are also showing endurance, and you have persevered for the sake of my namee and have not grown weary.f ⁴  Nevertheless, I hold this against you, that you have left the love you had at first.⁵  “‘Therefore remember from where you have fallen, and repentg and do the deeds you did at first. If you do not, I will come to you, and I will remove your lampstandh from its place, unless you repent.i ⁶  Still, you do have this in your favor: that you hate the deeds of the sect of Nic·o·laʹus,j which I also hate. ⁷  Let the one who has an ear hear what the spirit says to the congregations:k To the one who conquersl I will grant to eat of the tree of life,m which is in the paradise of God.’⁸  “And to the angel of the congregation in Smyrʹna write: These are the things that he says, ‘the First and the Last,’n who became dead and came to life again:o ⁹  ‘I know your tribulation and poverty—but you are richp—and the blasphemy by those who call themselves Jews and really are not, but they are a synagogue of Satan.q ¹⁰  Do not be afraid of the things you are about to suffer.r Look! The Devil will keep on throwing some of you into prison so that you may be fully put to the test, and you will have tribulation for ten days. Prove yourself faithful even to death, and I will give you the crown of life.s ¹¹  Let the one who has an ear heart what the spirit says to the congregations: The one who conquersu will by no means be harmed by the second death.’v¹²  “To the angel of the congregation in Perʹga·mum write: These are the things that he says who has the sharp, long, two-edged sword:w ¹³  ‘I know where you are dwelling, that is, where the throne of Satan is; and yet you keep holding fast to my name,x and you did not deny your faith in mey even in the days of Anʹti·pas, my faithful witness,z who was killeda by your side, where Satan is dwelling.¹⁴  “‘Nevertheless, I have a few things against you, that you have there those adhering to the teaching of Baʹlaam,b who taught Baʹlakc to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols and to commit sexual immorality.*d ¹⁵  In the same way, you also have those adhering to the teaching of the sect of Nic·o·laʹus.e ¹⁶  So repent. If you do not, I am coming to you quickly, and I will war against them with the long sword of my mouth.f¹⁷  “‘Let the one who has an ear hear what the spirit says to the congregations:g To the one who conquersh I will give some of the hidden manna,i and I will give him a white pebble, and written on the pebble is a new name that no one knows except the one receiving it.’¹⁸  “To the angel of the congregation in Thy·a·tiʹraj write: These are the things that the Son of God says, the one who has eyes like a fiery flamek and whose feet are like fine copper:l ¹⁹  ‘I know your deeds, and your love and faith and ministry and endurance, and that your deeds of late are more than those you did at first.²⁰  “‘Nevertheless, I do hold this against you, that you tolerate that woman Jezʹe·bel,m who calls herself a prophetess, and she teaches and misleads my slaves to commit sexual immorality*n and to eat things sacrificed to idols. ²¹  And I gave her time to repent, but she is not willing to repent of her sexual immorality.* ²²  Look! I am about to throw her into a sickbed, and those committing adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of her deeds. ²³  And I will kill her children with deadly plague, so that all the congregations will know that I am the one who searches the innermost thoughts* and hearts, and I will give to you individually according to your deeds.o²⁴  “‘However, I say to the rest of you who are in Thy·a·tiʹra, all those who do not follow this teaching, those who did not get to know the so-called “deep things of Satan”:p I am not putting on you any other burden. ²⁵  Just the same, hold fast to what you have until I come.q ²⁶  And to the one who conquers and observes my deeds down to the end, I will give authority over the nations,r ²⁷  and he will shepherd the people with an iron rods so that they will be broken to pieces like clay vessels, just as I have received from my Father. ²⁸  And I will give him the morning star.t ²⁹  Let the one who has an ear hear what the spirit says to the congregations.’

He aquí las partes que conforman la armadura:

1. El cinturón de la verdad

Debe estar ceñido a nosotros, es decir, debemos apegarnos a la Palabra de verdad de Dios y meditar en su contenido, como si estuviéramos ceñidos con ella. Esto nos protege de que nos decarríe cualquier mentiras o engaño. Sus dichos también nos apoyan y fortalecen en sentido espiritual y refuerzan nuestra integridad, tal como el cinturón ayuda a soportar el peso de la coraza del soldado.

2. La coraza de la justicia,  protege el corazón:

Implica que desarrollemos amor intenso a la justicia y un odio igualmente intenso al desafuero. (Salmo 45:7.) Así protegemos nuestro corazón.

3. Los pies calzados con las buenas nuevas

Al perseverar en la predicación, los cristianos desarrollan aguante, una cualidad que provee protección contra los ataques de Satanás.

4. El escudo grande de la fe

Los proyectiles encendidos de Satanás no podrán atravesar nuestro escudo de la fe  sólo si (1) Nuestra fe en Jehová es como la de Moisés pues tenía fe en que Él existía y que salvaría a los israelitas. (2) Tenemos una relación tan estrecha con Jehová como si pudiéramos verlo. (3) Estamos dispuestos a hacer cualquier sacrificio o a aguantar cualquier penalidad a fin de conservar nuestra buena relación con Dios. (4) Tenemos una fe total en Jehová (Hebreos 11:1.)

5. El yelmo de la salvación que protege la mente

La esperanza cristiana de la salvación se compara con un yelmo porque protege la mente. La mente del cristiano se ha hecho nueva mediante el conocimiento exacto y si alimentamos de continuo la mente con el conocimiento de Dios, nuestra esperanza se conservará brillante y clara.

6. La espada del espíritu

La Palabra de Dios, la Biblia, obra como una poderosa espada para cortar mentiras espirituales y conceptos falsos y ayudar a las personas de corazón recto a hallar la libertad espiritual. (Juan 8:31, 32.)

Jesús se defendió de tres ataques satánicos por medio de usar eficazmente la Palabra de Dios y decir: “Está escrito”. (Mateo 4:1-11.) En el guerrear espiritual se requiere mucho estudio y práctica regular en el ministerio para hacerse uno diestro en el uso de la Palabra de Dios.

Ver: 

Las partes de la armadura según se encuentran registradas en el capítulo 6 de la Carta a los Efesios son:

¹⁴  Estén firmes, por lo tanto,(1) EL CINTURÓN: teniendo los lomos ceñidos+ con la verdad,+ y (2) LA CORAZA O PETO: teniendo puesta la coraza de la justicia,+ ¹⁵  y (3) LAS SANDALIAS: teniendo calzados los pies+ con el equipo* de las buenas nuevas de la paz.+ ¹⁶  Sobre todo, (4) EL ESCUDO: tomen el escudo grande de la fe,+ con el cual podrán apagar todos los proyectiles encendidos del inicuo.+ ¹⁷  También, (5) EL CASCO O YELMO: acepten el yelmo+ de la salvación, y (6) LA ESPADA:  la espada+ del espíritu,+ es decir, la palabra de Dios,+ ¹⁸  mientras que, (7) LA ORACIÓN: con toda forma de oración+ y ruego, se ocupan en orar en toda ocasión en espíritu.+ 

Creo que antes de entrar en detalles con respecto a la lucha y todo el esfuerzo que a diario sostenemos, es necesario y prioritario explicar de que se trata esta armadura. Como toda armadura, está diseñada perfectamente para brindarnos una protección contra los ataques que a diario estamos sufriendo.

No creas que si no eres cristiano no padecerás las consecuencas de esta guerra. Al contrario, todos los seres humanos, sin excepción, estamos implicados en este conflicto armado y es necesario utilizar esta armadura.

Lo primero que debemos saber, es que su naturaleza es defensiva. Un cristiano verdadero jamás atacará a quien le agrede, puede usar la legítima defensa, pero jamás será el primero en dar un golpe.

Partes de la armadura

Están registradas en el capítulo 6 de la Carta a los Efesios:

¹⁴  Estén firmes, por lo tanto, teniendo los lomos ceñidos+ con la verdad,+ y teniendo puesta la coraza de la justicia,+ ¹⁵  y teniendo calzados los pies+ con el equipo* de las buenas nuevas de la paz.+ ¹⁶  Sobre todo, tomen el escudo grande de la fe,+ con el cual podrán apagar todos los proyectiles encendidos del inicuo.+ ¹⁷  También, acepten el yelmo+ de la salvación, y la espada+ del espíritu,+ es decir, la palabra de Dios,+ ¹⁸  mientras que, con toda forma de oración+ y ruego, se ocupan en orar en toda ocasión en espíritu.+ 

Sí, está en la Biblia. Ella dice que estamos viviendo los últimos días de este sistema de cosas. El mundo, tal como lo conocemos, dejará de existir. pero también dice que habrá sobrevivientes. Mira Revelación 7:13-17

13  Y, en respuesta, uno de los ancianos+ me dijo: “Estos que están vestidos de la larga ropa blanca,+¿quiénes son, y de dónde vinieron?”. 14  De modo que le dije inmediatamente: “Señor mío, tú eres el que sabe”. Y me dijo: “Estos son los que salen de la gran tribulación,+ y han lavado sus ropas largas y las han emblanquecido+ en la sangre+ del Cordero. 15  Por eso están delante+ del trono de Dios; y le están rindiendo servicio sagrado*+ día y noche en su templo;* y El que está sentado en el trono+ extenderá su tienda+ sobre ellos. 16  Ya no tendrán hambre ni tendrán más sed, ni los batirá el sol ni ningún calor abrasador,+ 17  porque el Cordero,+ que está en medio del trono, los pastoreará,+ y los guiará a fuentes de aguas+ de vida. Y Dios limpiará toda lágrima de los ojos de ellos”.+

¿Cómo sobrevivir a la Gran Tribulación y a la conclusión del sistema de cosas actual?

Pablo nos da una pista en su carta a los Efesios. Vamos a buscar el capítulo 6 y a empezar a leer desde el verso 10.

… sigan adquiriendo poder+ en [el] Señor y en la potencia+ de su fuerza.

Debemos conseguir suficiente energía y acumularla de manera de poder llevar a cabo el esfuerzo con diligencia. Esto aplica en todo sentido… Tanto físico como espiritual.

En el verso 11 Pablo explica que contamos con un equipo de supervivencia bien diseñado: ¹¹  Pónganse la armadura completa+ que proviene de Dios para que puedan estar firmes contra las maquinaciones*+del Diablo;

Si, Jehová Dios ha diseñado para nosotros el equipo que nos permite enfrentarnos con éxito a la batalla a la que nos estamos enfrentando:  ¹²  porque tenemos una lucha,+ no contra sangre y carne, sino contra los gobiernos,+ contra las autoridades,+ contra los gobernantes mundiales*+ de esta oscuridad, contra las fuerzas espirituales inicuas+ en los lugares celestiales. ¹³  Por esta causa tomen LA ARMADURA COMPLETA* QUE PROVIENE DE DIOS,+ para que puedan resistir en el día inicuo y, después de haber hecho todas las cosas cabalmente, estar firmes.+

Y ahora, pasa a describir cada parte de la armadura…

Vocabulario utilizado:

• sistema de cosas: el mundo tal como lo conocemos. Está formado, a su vez, por tres sistemas: el político, el económico y el religioso.

• poder o fuerza: se refiere al espíritu que proviene de Jehová Dios, su espíritu santo. Su fuerza dinámica. Su poder en acción.
