Many Christians, after being pissed off by someone or something, may cry to their Christ day in and day out, ‘rise up O Lord and let your enemies be scattered’. And they may also scream’ day in day out, ‘Unflung’ your right arm for my sake, O Lord’ in the scattering of your enemies.”
Many Biblical verses back up their crying. Jewish scripture is the only worldwide sacred text and in it the unseen King of kings of all the world is sanctioned to rise up and turn the tables in the favour of his followers. For instance, a verse sung by King David in his 68th psalm, which echoes one which Moses uttered in his 10th chapter of Numbers, is a cry for perfect realignment of earth by this constitution of constitutions.
And David in his 10th, 7th and 121th psalms (among many other psalms) invokes God’s right hand as perfect weapon for doing the tit for tat deed for him. Why? Was David bloodthirsty and bitter? Many agnostics, oblivious of political and historical realities (whilst acknowledging being just dressed animals) even claim the actions of all biblical heroes are just barbaric impulses from ancient goat herders. But in reality the psalms and every other story in the Bible are inspirations of the Holy (Most loving) Spirit (principle of life).
David was a sweet soothing musician. But he was also a warrior of warriors, who slashed thousands of men to their choking-in-blood deaths — with the same finesse he used in his strumming of the harp — that could still the stormy emotions in King Saul.
Why did a man after God’s own heart harbour these extremities of passions? Because the living loving God is only living and loving because he rights wrongs. Justice is effected either by making hostile parties practice mercy and reconciliation between themselves or by a judge punishing a doer of injustice who insists on his or her rebellion.
We must forgive those who wrong us, over and over and over again. Forgiveness, like water eroding a rock away, destroys the idol of self in us. Revenge is an altar of self vindication and self is what made even Lucifer became Satan. However God avenges those who wrong us yet think they did nothing wrong. But he does so only after we forgive them. He tits for tats so as to destroy the idol of self in unrepentant enemies.
No idol will enter heaven or and no idol will remain on earth. The earth and heaven will one hundred percent be a space, time and matter which just praise their creator, forever and ever. Any sound or breath or energy which will not yield to its originator will end up in hell.
Hell, a realm where souls are forever caged in, is dumping (I can’t do anything more for you)justice. Hell on earth from God is perfect justice — as it is a wake up call to justice. But is the left hand of an omnipotent being weak? Why does the Bible over and over again intimate that God’s right hand is more right than his left.
Most scholars of the Bible point out that our concept of God is anthromophic. As many people are right handed, a scholar might theorize, we are bound to conceptualize a deity whose right hand is stronger than his left. This is rational, until we ask, “why are many people right handed?”
Evolutionists may say it is just natural chance. Many so called psychogists and ‘experts of human behaviour’ rely on evolutionary ideas. Some even claim to be Christian. Yet, “most of us are right handed because it is just a chance of nature,” is not a scientific answer — even if it claims to be.
Essentially, life is spiritual — artistic — symbolic. Science just gives us details of this truth or resources to see more details about this truth. You can make an art out of buying, selling, singing, cooking, leading and even just theorizing. And scientist who always say ‘we do this because it is just a product of accidents of nature’ just theorize — they just do an art of specualting.
Life is a competition between artists. There are those who use manual effort and those who use electric energy and software. Designers of iphone and Samsung illustrate this truth: science which matters is science which assembles artistically.
And, whether you believe it or not, ‘spiritual’, artistic and symbol is an unseen being who breathes out so as to make us all breath. What? Yes it is a person, the greatest artist — who assembled reality. He is the space-time reality that is interpretation and his name is ‘Continuum that ever rejuvenates’.
Jesus, which means redeemer with no beginning or end’, is life, in ‘ressurecting in any death’ — which we know as recycling. Many ‘scientists’, may say, ‘a person cannot be a concept’ as this means even language is a person’. But this is because they think spirituality is ritualism. Yet Concept is non existent aprt from human conscience. You carry your own sense of living, even if ‘facts’ are all around you. Life is only life in ‘perceiving’ and that act — which is life — is a person behind personhood. In Jesus, all symbols become clear.
And essentially, Jesus reveals that ‘Right Hand’ simply means open zeal. This was revealed when the redeemer he is — who is every beginning in any end — whipped people from the temple of God that was his Father’s house. The Bible is the chief symbolic book, and the scenein it whereby Jesus whips people in the temple echoes how God burns to remove any idol in the temple of the Holy Spirit that is a human soul. This is why demons (idolatrous fits) in people screamed when Jesus just showed up.
On the other hand, ‘Left hand’ denotes ‘mysterious working’. A left handed person was seen as ‘odd’ by ancient Jews — a worker of strange works. And the Pharisees only saw Jesus as a weird ‘left hand’ with a counterfeit ‘right hand’. Yet Christ was the right (uncompromising) hand of the Father (beginning) who was revealing the compassionate left (lamb) hand of divine mercy. All in all, only the Holy Spirit can reveal ‘open zeal’ in ‘mysterious working’, which both work hand in hand.
This is why Christ stretched both his hands on the cross. When crucified, he was being lifted as the Mosaic Serpent in the desert which neutralized poison in blood of sinners. The two hands of God served the last supper, washed his disciples’ feet and carried the cross. Eternal mercy and never ending wrath were equalized in the body and blood of the lamb of God who was full of the fire of God.
