Righteousness

[possibletarian]

Yes, if businesses implemented fair and just practices the whole country would begin to prosper again.

But if that happened, the country would have to face disaster of some kind - mainly war and industrial strife, because of Satan and his agents in the world.
This has been the approximate pattern worldwide for centuries.

The Bible describes the devil as the enemy of man, the saboter. And it gave a forecast of the plight of the world thousands of years earlier, both in direct prophetic predictions and by the examples in history.

He does it through rule, in politics and religion, beginning in families and ending in rulers. And it is done through people who have allowed themselves to be deceived and controlled by him. This starts the ball rolling with violence, deception, oppression, greed, abuse etc. 

The prophecies in the book of Daniel give a detailed picture of how the nations are deceived through idealisms and controlled to oppress. It also shows how progress was made through a succession of global attempts at establishing an empire. It's all history.

The way it will be played out in the final scenes of earth, is ultra deceptive, it has a nasty twist to it.

The world will demand what you have described - fair work and business practices. People will be tired of the lies, greed and horrendous social injustices.
Satan is behind the oppressive conditions that will spark this revolution, and his intention is that the revolution will be a 'Christian' one, a 'righteous' one.

This is odd, but certainly not unusual, because Satan has done it this way right from the rebellion in heaven, where he conned nearly half the angels into a new 'righteous' cause.

Will he succeed in conning the vast majority in the world? Yes, he has always had the majority on his side.

The final global union will begin on the issue of fair employment practices and end with religious civil laws. And here is the catch - one of the religious laws will be in violation of God's law. No economic transaction will be allowed without this observance. (Note also that the revolution will begin in the US and spread from there).

But what you have described as righteous business practices, will become law. It sounds good.
The laws of the land already prohibit underhanded business practices, but many large corporations seem to think they are above the law, especially when it comes to wiping out smaller competition. It is a network of corrupt societies which pervades the courts and government departments that allows this to go on.

A revolution against the corporations and corrupt governments, will lead to a strong socialist movement such as never witnessed before, where the people become the rule, and they will elect leaders which act "as kings." The structure of that new socialist regime is basically already operating through the new global communist order, (freedom and democracy) with the exception that the power has not been passed from the top to the people.

If you thought that the French revolution was bad...this one is indescribable. And incidentally, the Bible makes a direct link between the French revolution and the last global ideology - 'righteousness.'

That was a lot of gobshyte to fit in one post, but miraculously you managed it.
Poor satan gets blamed for everything round here.

I am not an eschatology buff. I'm just talking about the here and now. In the here and now, God is BIG and not that dickless wonder angel named Satan. Satan can only rule in unrighteousness which is useless, powerless and dickless in this current season of time.

My point was that the fact that since certain business practices work ok, and some kick ass, and some are crushed! Therefore, someone has set a standard and keeping people to His standard. I think this standard blatantly exists. However, I believe God to be a raging capitalist but, HATES publically traded corporations (do not unequally yoke) especially when the competent entrepreneur who started it dies or quits. As then the C-Corp is run by "The Matrix" learned in business school. Peters Law eventually takes over and everyone is eventually promoted to their own level of complete incompetence which sends the business cycle in a downward spiral like Sears/K-mart vs. Dollar.

Remember, the first will be last and the last first. Satan has yet to contend with the ekklEsia-Church(called out of God) in her last unfolded glory(like a blossoming flower) when she will finish her current mission on earth--AND KICKS SATANS MOTHER FUCKING ASS!

What makes us so great? God's faith in us; God's hope for us; God's standard/righteousness in action through us; God's love to the world through us; God's glorification of us--His bride!

Dude, you're trying to hard, and failing. Trolling is a skill.

Wow! No argument! There you have it--God exists by reason of standard! Who is the standard keeper? That standard is all that is working, wonderful, beautiful and tasty in this world. Everything else is either broken, or sucks! Bill 1, atheists 0. Sometimes it's just soo cool bein' me!--Ace Ventura

I'm not sure what you mean by "God exists by reason of standard."

But I think you are on to something deeper than I can comprehend at the moment.

I have heard that it is impossible to have a God or source of life, without perfect morality or integrity, that righteousness is the necessity of eternal life.

We know by science that the recipients of life, cannot be born or survive without billions of correct conditions and processes. In other words life is a result of ultra sophistication and order, of such a high standard that it escapes the consciousness of its recipients. 

If life is caused by a source of wisdom and integrity, then morality or righteousness, must be the basis of life, and that it deserves the attention and respect of creatures capable of reasoning.
And it goes without saying that if the Author of Life is disrespected, or if life is regarded as cheap, that the offending person has to be dealt with accordingly.

I think that's a very charitable interpretation.

The Righteousness of God is the sum total of all that is wonderful and beautiful in the universe. Jesus tells us to "seek" it as a million libraries cannot contain all that seeking righteousness is. My example to seek the righteousness of the hamburger in all its glory is a very complex thing. I know because I have done it! Along with the French fry!

Someone might see a beautiful woman and say, "She's a righteous babe!"

What ever job we do we should always seek its righteousness so that we are the very best at whatever God gave us to do. This is empowering us to succeed!

The Righteousness of God is a multifaceted jewel of immense beauty and power! The beauty of morality is but one facet of that jewel that the church spends TOO MUCH time with!
