Fascinating to note is the grand scale to which blueprints sometimes lend great architectural structures. The height, depth, length, breadth, width, etc. are all significant because they express not only the vision of the architect but also the concrete situation in which the architectural structure will appear. Great architectural structures cannot appear without blueprints nor can they be revealed apart from the grand scale which expresses their magnanimity. The symbol for this principle could be rendered as “The Concrete Situation of Great Architectural Structures”. “Concrete Situation” expresses the relation of these great architectural structures to the human mind in its existential state or in other words, how the human mind perceives these great architectural structures in the finite experience of their grand scale. “Grand Scale” (height, depth, length, breadth, width, etc.) is the symbol that expresses the magnitude of impact these great architectural structures will relay upon the human mind as they are revealed in their magnanimity. Commensurate with understanding these principles, one must also understand that concrete situations appear not only in their existential form (finite situations) but also in their essential form (spiritual situations) as it relates to the human mind (psychological state/human will>substratum of human desire/ decision making processes). Endowed with this understanding one could syllogistically conclude that the greatest architectural structure known to the human spirit is “Faith as the Absolute Concern of the Believer in Christ”. The profundity of this conclusion is that it is not rooted in human ingenuity or authority, but its radix lies in a demonstration of the Holy Spirit’s (Eternal Godhead) presence and power as it transforms the human mind through wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Jesus Christ. The Apostle Paul eloquently sets forth this preeminent architectural structure when he writes: “That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:- The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,- And what is the exceeding greatness of His power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of His mighty power,-Which He wrought in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead, and set Him at His own right hand in the heavenly places,- Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:- And hath put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be the head over all things to the church,- Which is His body, the fulness of Him that filleth all in all.” According to this passage of scripture, “Faith as the Absolute Concern of the Believer in Christ” is the “Concrete Situation of Our Faith” because the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Christ establishes a fixed state (Concrete Situation) of impenetrable security that is eternally maintained by the power and presence of the Eternal Godhead. The sovereignty of the Eternal Godhead has established the “Concrete Situation of Holiness” in the earth which acts as the preeminent architectural barrier (structure that hinders) to all principalities, power, might, and dominion (whether they be humanistic or satanic) that would abuse their ordained power as it pertains to mankind. Where the absolute concern of the believer (faith) is manifested, the Concrete Situation of Holiness is actualized and established in a measure that is so comprehensive as to be ineluctable for every known power. The “Grand Scale” (magnitude of impact) of the Concrete Situation of Holiness virtually ensures that all powers will ineludably enter the gauntlet of judgment when they have failed to express the will of the Eternal Godhead in the earth. The Apostle Paul again gives this revelation with mind shattering force when he states: “That He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might by His Spirit in the inner man;- That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,- May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;- And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.” In a teleological sense (expresses the pattern of the Logos), ages past, present, and future receive their glory in magnitude from an Architect whose wisdom is so vast as to be beyond human comprehension (apart from revelation) and yet so near as to require all mankind to acknowledge His Sovereignty. The Architect of the ages has given mankind the blueprint of His word; will we build our lives to the “Grand Scale” that they are calling for? (Another Oil Point from Theology Nation)

Manipulating situations and circumstances to traverse outside of the parameters of the Word of the Lord is the classical understanding of the term “rebellion”. Manipulative powers are at the radix (Latin>root) of much of the evil on display throughout the world in the modern era. Satanic influences are the centerfold of these kind of manipulative powers that make their presentation as the face of goodwill; when in reality, they are the sickle of which the “spirit of death” uses to separate goodness from the human will thus destroying critical trust. It is at this point of goodness being separated from the human will that manipulative powers are cast forth into a psychological stronghold of binding and cursing (what the term witchcraft suggests). Binding and cursing cause the psychological state of mankind to reach an impasse from which it cannot return. The proper term for this impasse is “stubbornness” which then leads to the spiritual estrangement of “rebellion”. Notice the gravity of language when the Prophet Samuel states: “For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry”. Strong words for an commensurately profound conundrum that cannot be overcome by human ingenuity nor authority. This is what it means to be “Broken Without Remedy”. The impasse of “stubbornness” which leads to the spiritual estrangement of “rebellion” is the breaking of the psychological state of mankind to which there is no solution or remedy by human or angelic means. The human spirit (psychological state) casts forth the binding and cursing of manipulative powers (witchcraft) because it does not have as its nucleus the regenerative powers of “Divine Truth”. The human spirit that does not process life in the power of the Holy Spirit (what it means to be Spirit Filled) can only operate through the impotency of its own manipulative powers (what the term idolatry suggests) because the Eternal Godhead has not authorized a life outside of Divine Truth. For this reason many lives have been Broken Without Remedy (what the term destroyed means) and appear to those afflicted by this state of despair as “Abandonment by the Eternal Godhead”. In this state of despair, binding and cursing (witchcraft) set forth to establish in real time that the human psychological state of the afflicted is in an essential dimension of torment. This is the essential meaning of the term “Hell” in chronological time and “The Lake of Fire” in eternity. To be Broken Without Remedy is to be in a chronological and eternal state of torment for which there is no human or angelic resolution. When mankind refuses to enter into the operative measures of Divine Truth through rebellion (witchcraft) and stubbornness (idolatry) or exits for the same reason, death emerges in every situation and circumstance in which the human will appears. This deathly separation from Divine Truth is the substratum of every afflicting torment that pervades the human soul. When the human soul makes its determination to re-enter the operative measures of Divine Truth, the remedy to its brokenness appears as “Salvation”. This is what makes the Word of the Lord true when it says: “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God”. The remedy to brokenness is not present until Divine Truth appears in the circumstance or situation that has afflicted the human will. The remedy to psychological torment is not present until Divine Truth appears in the psychological state of the tortured human soul. The remedy to satanic bondage is not present until Divine Truth appears within the incarcerated human spirit. The Prophet Isaiah set these truths forth when he emphatically states: “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;”. The “Salvation” of mankind rests in our willingness to re-enter the operative measures of Divine Truth authorized by the Eternal Godhead to bring forth “Eternal Light” and “Eternal Life” as the remedy to rebellion (witchcraft) and stubbornness (idolatry) before “Eternal Darkness” and “Eternal Death” appear as the final solution (the symbol of the “Great White Throne Judgment” of Revelation) to the deathly amalgamation of humanism and satanism. The Remedy to our Brokenness will not appear in any other manner and we are foolish to think otherwise. (Another Oil Point from Theology Nation)
